218 Useppa Island, Useppa Island
$3,395,000
5 Beds ⋅ 7 Baths ⋅ 2026046522 MLS
Elevated luxury retreat on coveted Useppa Island in the aquatic preserve of Pine Island Sound. Sitting well above the flood zone, this updated 5BR/5+2 BA home offers long water views, lush privacy, and exceptional amenities. Enjoy 97’ of waterfront with white-sand beach and riparian rights, plus a private dock with two lifts and additional space for a larger boat. A 40’ lap pool with expansive decking overlooks the Sound, surrounded by mature landscaping on one of the highest elevation points in Lee County. Interiors blend contemporary updates with Old Florida charm. Light-filled principal rooms capture stunning views throughout. The main-floor primary suite includes views of the Sound, an unsuite, walk-in closet and a private staircase to two offices/studios and multiple furnished outdoor retreats. Spacious water view kitchen with Sub-Zero fridge, double ovens, and new custom cabinets and stone countertops. Upper level offers two king guest suites with soaring ceilings, dedicated baths, and access to a 670 SF Sound-view deck and a 225 SF front deck overlooking the Useppa Palm Garden. Lower level includes a queen suite and a 4-twin bunk room for guests. Whole-home generator, hurricane protection, new AC equipment with a dedicated mechanical room and a separate golf cart garage and workshop. Offered turnkey with golf cart and most furnishings. Perfect for seasonal or full-time island living with excellent rental opportunities. Located on the southern end of the island, along the historic Pink Path and overlooking the Sound, you can keep an eye on your boat at the dock just behind the house. Coves Edge cottage is in the boating community of Useppa Island. The 110-acre Sanctuary is a private community and members-only club. With no need for gates or walls, it is surrounded by water, in the pristine Pine Island Sound and Charlotte Harbor aquatic preserves. Geographically it is in the same chain of barrier islands as Sanibel-Captiva, visible to the south, although one island east of the Gulf. Accessible only by boat (or aircraft), the commute to the mainland is in a special class of its own. Just a 15-minute joyful boat ride will deliver you to Boca Grande or Pine Island, and thence to all “civilized” conveniences of the mainland. The commute is special in a way that you will never tire of it. Just think-you are not stuck in traffic, or waiting for a light to change, fretting over the packed roads ahead. You are just watching the dolphins play and the birds dive, waving to passing boats with smiling passengers. Yes, not like the mainland! You might be sitting next to one of your Useppa neighbors, who has all their goods delivered to the Shore Port, where the staff will transport them to the island, and her home. Who said it is inconvenient when you don’t have roads? And this beautiful home will let you join the ranks of the smart and lucky who have already landed on Useppa as a lifestyle choice.

If you’ve been watching Fort Myers Beach come back and waiting for the right lot on the highly coveted SOUTH END, take a look at this one! Laguna Shores is one of the most desirable neighborhoods on the island. It’s quiet and residential, monthly rentals are allowed, and two deeded beach accesses put you on the sand in a few moments. This one is priced at land value, and the buyer has two options. You can remodel the existing concrete block pool home, with improvements subject to the FEMA 50% rule. Or you can treat the lot as a clean slate for a new build with potential partial Gulf, bay and lagoon views, and the pool could be worth keeping. This location is very ideal whether you plan to live here or rent it out. Lovers Key State Park and Flippers on the Bay are just over Big Carlos Pass, close enough to walk or bike, and Bonita Springs and Naples are an easy drive south. Santini Plaza and Fishtail Marina are under 1 mile away, and Publix is under 3 miles away. The reasons people come here haven’t changed: sunshine nearly every day of the year, shelling at low tide, fishing the passes, and some of the best sunsets on the Gulf. Now new homes are going up all over Estero Island and the new pier is under construction along with Lynn Hall Park, Bowditch Point and brick and mortar in Times Square. All slated to be completed in about 1 year from now. The south end is coming back, and the people building now are the ones who saw it coming. This is the time to get into the Fort Myers Beach market before prices start to increase on the island. Schedule your showing today & bring your offers!
