Waterfront Co-Op Cottage on Pine Island — Direct Gulf & Intracoastal Access! Welcome to your slice of Old Florida paradise in this move-in ready 1BR/1BA waterfront cottage nestled within a charming 30-unit, 55+ resident-owned co-op community in sought after Bokeelia. The property faces Charlotte Harbor in front and the Bokeelia Back Bay behind, offering direct Intracoastal and Gulf access right from your community's private boat ramp. Inside you'll find a bright, updated interior with luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, a refreshed kitchen with solid surface countertops, undermount sink, and LG stainless appliances — including a fridge with ice maker and an oven with built-in air fryer. The remodeled bath, new mini-split A/C, updated electrical, in-unit stackable washer and dryer, and new water heater mean the big-ticket items are already done. The flexible layout comfortably sleeps up to 6 with a queen bed, a pull-out sofa, and an ottoman that converts to a twin — perfect as a full-time residence or waterfront retreat. Community amenities are the real star here: a private 500-foot lighted fishing pier with electricity, private boat ramp, on-site boat trailer storage, and a community gazebo. Optional boat dock slip may be available for an additional fee. A low monthly co-op fee covers water, trash, and lawn care. Short boat rides put you at Cabbage Key, Cayo Costa, North Captiva, Sanibel, and the out islands. Pine Island's world-class fishing is right out your back door.
