This is the kind of place people come to Matlacha for, and once they do, they never want to leave. Perched above the water on stilts in the heart of this colorful island community, this elevated two-bedroom, two-bath home offers true peace of mind and effortless island living. Whether you’re looking for a full-time home, a weekend escape, or an income-producing vacation rental, this property delivers the lifestyle Matlacha is known for, without the worry of water intrusion. From the moment you pull into the driveway, the island vibe takes over. Inside, the home feels open, bright, and welcoming, with the kitchen flowing naturally into the great room, creating an easy space to gather, relax, and entertain. Nearly every room captures beautiful water views, constantly reminding you that you’re living somewhere special. Both bedrooms are comfortably sized with great storage, and the flexible bonus space off the main living area works perfectly as a home office, guest area, or additional sleeping space for visitors. Impact-resistant windows add another layer of comfort and security, letting you enjoy the island lifestyle year-round with confidence. One of the most magical spots in the home is the screened-in lanai. This is where mornings begin with coffee and end with sunsets, watching dolphins and manatees glide by in the water below. Downstairs, you’ll find extra storage, a second patio area, and a newer dock ready for boating, fishing, or simply soaking in the surroundings. The home experienced minimal impact from Hurricane Ian and had no known water intrusion, making it truly move-in ready. Even better, it’s currently income-producing and is one of the best-priced elevated homes in Matlacha, an incredible opportunity in a location that continues to capture hearts. This isn’t just a house, it’s a front-row seat to island life. Come experience the charm, color, and calm of Matlacha for yourself.
