3807 San Carlos Dr, St. James City, FL 33956 - 3 Bedroom Pool Home in Bayview Acres

LUXURY WATERFRONT LIVING WITH UNMATCHED VIEWS IN ST. JAMES CITY

This is the kind of home that leaves a lasting impression the moment you see it.

Perfectly positioned on the open waters of San Carlos Bay, this fully renovated waterfront estate offers a rare blend of deep-water Gulf access, sweeping unobstructed views, and authentic Old Florida island character. Located at the southern tip of Pine Island in St. James City, the setting feels serene, private, and timeless, while still just a short drive to Cape Coral and Fort Myers for shopping, dining, and travel convenience.

The views are simply incredible. Expansive open water stretches endlessly in front of you, with sunsets that never look the same twice. Properties with this kind of wide bay frontage are exceptionally rare in Southwest Florida, and this one delivers a truly special vantage point.

Inside, over $400,000 in renovations have been completed with a focus on quality, efficiency, and long-term peace of mind. From the new roof and full spray-foam insulation to hurricane-impact windows and doors and a whole-home generator, every detail has been carefully considered. Major systems have all been updated, including HVAC, ductwork, and instant hot water heaters, creating a home that is both comfortable and cost-efficient to own.

For boating enthusiasts, this property stands out. The dock provides protected deep-water access with no bridges, along with two brand-new boat lifts - a 6,000-pound lift and a 15,000-pound lift - making it effortless to head straight into the Gulf of Mexico at a moment’s notice.

Outdoor living feels like your own private retreat. A heated pool and spa overlook the bay, while a custom tiki hut and fully equipped outdoor kitchen create the perfect space for entertaining, relaxing, or simply enjoying the island lifestyle. Picture sunset dinners, days out on the water, and peaceful mornings just steps from the shoreline.

Inside, the home continues with a refined coastal design. Wide-plank tile flooring runs throughout, custom closets add both style and functionality, and the kitchen is truly a standout feature. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, it includes top-of-the-line JennAir appliances, exotic granite countertops, and over $250,000 in custom cabinetry. The home is offered tastefully furnished in a Tommy Bahama style (with exclusions), making it a true turnkey opportunity.

Car enthusiasts will appreciate the oversized four-car garage with epoxy flooring, offering space for up to six vehicles along with additional storage.

This is more than just a waterfront property, it’s a rare, energy-efficient, and secure estate that combines luxury craftsmanship with one of the most sought-after waterfront settings in Southwest Florida. If you’ve been searching for wide-open water views, true Gulf access, and an island lifestyle that feels both elevated and authentic, this is it.
