Welcome to your Marco Island beach retreat! Featuring over 2,500 A/C sq. ft., this elevated coastal pool home with a metal roof offers an ideal blend of lifestyle, walkability, and strong short-term rental potential. The floor plan includes 4 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, highlighted by a private primary suite with its own balcony and a generous mini-suite for guests. An oversized open den provides versatile space for entertaining, a media area, home office, or lounge, while the expansive deck is perfect for al fresco dining and enjoying the coastal breeze. The main living level showcases mahogany hardwood floors throughout the living areas and hand-scraped oak flooring in the primary suite, adding warmth and coastal character. The pool pump, pool heater, and A/C are all less than two years old, and the brand-new panoramic pool cage enhances the outdoor experience. The lower level offers enclosed bonus space with excellent potential for conversion into a game room, fitness studio, hobby room, or additional living area—ideal for boosting rental appeal or providing multi-generational flexibility. Located on the desirable south end of Marco Island, this home sits within walking distance to two public beach access points, South Beach, Marco Walk Plaza (fine dining, boutique shopping, and entertainment), the Marco Island Center for the Arts, the movie theater, and mini-golf. Whether you're seeking a personal beach getaway, an investment opportunity, or both, this residence delivers versatility, comfort, and a prime coastal location.
