H1005 - SUNSET EVERY NIGHT! This cute 1940's cottage is one of the original homes in historic Matlacha and has been lovingly updated and carefree with metal roof and cement board siding. Whether you're looking for a vacation rental or a happy retirement home, you'll feel like you're living in a resort with the custom pool, boat house with custom drive-on dock, kayak dock, separate air conditioned studio space and firepit area. Bike or walk to the art galleries, the community park or any number of bars and restaurants. Regular visitors to the this backyard paradise are dolphins, manatees and even a "shiny object stealing" otter! The bay behind the home is normally calm and host to many seabirds, fish and wildlife to be discovered in the mangroves... Tearing yourself away from the amazing backyard is difficult but easier with the cheerful islandy colors and vibe on the inside of the home as well. Rarely available property that includes sunset from your own private pool.....
