Sandy Shoals Houses For Sale55+ Active Adult

Paradise found… and it’s wearing flip flops. Tucked along the peaceful shores of bokeelia on pine island, this charming waterfront home captures the laid-back rhythm of old florida living—where gulf breezes drift through swaying palms, boats idle past on the canal and the water is always calling your name. Life here isn’t about rushing anywhere… it’s about fishing at sunrise, boating at sunset and letting the day unfold on island time. Bokeelia sits on the northern tip of pine island, a place locals treasure for its quaint fishing-village atmosphere, unspoiled natural beauty and authentic coastal lifestyle far removed from the crowds and high-rises found in more touristy beach towns. Anglers know this area well because the surrounding waters—from charlotte harbor to boca grande pass—are among the most productive fishing grounds in southwest florida, where tarpon, snook, redfish, trout and grouper have drawn fishermen for generations. And right here is where your island story begins… on a direct access saltwater canal just minutes to open water. No bridges to slow you down—simply idle out to the harbor and the gulf beyond. At water’s edge the dock features a 10, 000 lb boat lift with canopy plus a convenient fish cleaning station, making it easy to head out for a quick evening cruise or a full day chasing the next big catch. Even better, this is a boat and rv friendly community with no hoa—plus it’s pet friendly and rent friendly too. Inside, the home offers a naturally bright, breezy and cheerful feel with a well-designed split bedroom floorplan. There are three bedrooms, two baths and a two-car garage with tile and wood flooring throughout—no carpet. The guest suites are generously sized and share a beautifully remodeled guest bathroom completed in 2024. The primary suite enjoys sliding glass doors to the lanai, a walk-in closet and a bathroom with an updated vanity and walk-in shower. The kitchen blends warmth and function with real hickory wood cabinetry featuring crown molding and convenient slide-outs, granite countertops, tile backsplash and under-cabinet lighting. Stainless steel appliances are included, along with a rare and highly appreciated gas stove. Out back the outdoor living space captures the best of the island lifestyle. A screened and covered lanai provides the perfect setting for dining or relaxing in the shade, while the large swimming pool features an 8-foot deep end and a tiled pool deck with fencing. The yard is fully fenced, new in 2023. Storm ready and solidly built, your new retreat features cbs construction, a 2019 dimensional shingle roof and accordion hurricane shutters. Even better, the property has had no flooding or water intrusion during any storm. Whether you’re searching for a weekend escape, seasonal retreat or full-time island lifestyle, this property captures the easygoing spirit that makes bokeelia one of swfl’s best-kept secrets. Because around here… the only real schedule is tides, sunsets and happy hour.
