If you’ve been looking for something that truly feels like a Southwest Florida escape… this is it. Welcome to Waters Edge II... a private, gated community tucked right off Iona Road along the Caloosahatchee River, just minutes from where it opens into the Gulf. From here, you’re not just close to Sanibel, Captiva, and Fort Myers Beach… you’re living in the middle of it all. You’ll find a private, white sandy beach, marina, and 600-foot fishing pier with that “on a boat feeling” while viewing gorgeous sunsets, all right inside the community. It’s one of those hidden gems people find and never want to leave. When entering the villa, you’ll notice how tropical and private it feels surrounded by varied and colorful tropical plants including 3 varieties of palms. With southwestern exposure, you can enjoy those incredible Florida sunsets from your own lanai. The exterior was freshly painted in 2024, including the soffits. There are new gutters (2024), new roof (2023), new HVAC (2025) and all windows are protected with impact shutters by Storm Smart including electric roll downs covering the lanai and front door, clear Lexan on the arched windows and accordion style on the rest. All the big-ticket items are already taken care of. The layout is a true open-concept design, with the living room, dining area, and kitchen connected, yet; separate for easy, everyday living. The recessed triple sliding glass doors open completely to the screened lanai, giving you that seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle Florida is known for. The kitchen has a unique, functional setup with a large island that combines the counter top, sink and dinette table all in one. It’s perfect for cooking or hosting. The light, stone-colored tile flooring throughout matches any dcor except in the bedrooms where Brazilian Cherry hardwood floors add warmth and a more custom feel. The primary suite is spacious, and has direct access to the lanai. The bathroom features dual sinks, soaking tub, walk-in shower, skylight for natural light, and large walk-in closet. The second bedroom is also spacious with a sizable closet. Kitty corner to it is a nice-size bath with a white, tiled shower over a porcelain tub, sink and ample mirror. With guests in mind, these two rooms have a pull-out door extending across the hallway that adds privacy. A rosy, cozy third bedroom opposite the kitchen contains one of the long, arched windows. It can flex to an office instead if desired. Attached to the Villa is a two-car garage. There are two community poolsone just around the cornerplus tennis and pickleball courts with an active, welcoming community. The marina has wet and dry slips available for lease, boat launch and trailer storage. The beach, pier and pavilion to relax and take it all in are right there too. To top it off, this villa has never seen flooding from any of the storms.
