Welcome to this incredibly charming turn key furnished waterfront cottage paradise! Tucked beneath sprawling oaks, mature mahoganies and swaying palms, this secluded St. James City retreat offers nearly half an acre of shaded, private waterfront bliss — yet it's just minutes from some of the island's favorite restaurants, bars, and local hangouts. And did we mention the privacy? The property feels like your own tropical hideaway. Watch manatees and dolphins cruise the canal from your backyard, cast a line, or grill the catch of the day after bringing it in from your own 30-foot dock. Not fishing today? Two nearby fresh seafood markets make it easy to bring home the day's local catch. And if outdoor living is your thing, Enjoy mornings on your two screened porches — one overlooking the expansive backyard and waterfront, and another facing the large front yard. Morning coffee, afternoon cocktails, or a quiet evening outdoors — you've got the perfect spot for every mood. Inside, the cottage has been updated while keeping its unmistakable Old Florida beach-house character. The large butcher block kitchen island provides plenty of room for friends and family to gather for drinks, dinner, and fish stories, while the spacious living area keeps everything comfortable and inviting. One of the home's most memorable features is beneath your feet: unique hand-painted wood floors running throughout the cottage. Creative, colorful, and easy to maintain, they're almost guaranteed to become a conversation piece the moment guests walk through the door. The oversized primary bedroom offers a built-in vanity and two large closets, while the second bedroom has a generous closet of its own. The bathroom features a roomy walk-in tile shower, tile flooring, and a corner linen cabinet with deep shelving. The updated laundry room includes a newer front-loading washer and dryer, a new water heater, a generous butcher block folding counter, and upper cabinetry. When you're ready to explore, simply walk out to your dock, step aboard the boat, and go. From your backyard, it's approximately a fifteen-minute canal ride through beautiful mangroves, with incredible fishing, bird watching, and Southwest Florida nature along the way. Continue into Pine Island Sound, and a whole new world opens up — Sanibel, Fort Myers Beach, gulf waters, waterfront restaurants, and countless places to explore by boat. Or don't go anywhere at all. Fire up the grill, grab a cold drink, and enjoy the shade beneath the trees while boats, dolphins, and manatees pass by. This is exactly the Pine Island lifestyle people come for.

Some homes are simply well maintained—3742 Tangelo Drive is maintained to an entirely different standard. Its immaculate condition, thoughtful upgrades and unmistakable pride of ownership immediately set it apart. Built in 2016 on an oversized 0.31-acre lot in St. James City’s Tropical Homesites neighborhood, this exceptional 1,553-square-foot home offers 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a 2-car garage, quality, comfort and authentic island living. Constructed of concrete block with impact-resistant windows and doors, the home is topped with a new standing-seam metal roof. The homesite was also extensively filled and elevated well beyond basic building requirements. This elevated, storm-conscious home is about as well prepared as island living gets—and has no history of flooding. A paver driveway creates a polished first impression. Inside, high ceilings, tall doorways and high-end tile flooring create a bright, open and welcoming atmosphere. Every room feels clean, spacious and thoughtfully finished. The kitchen features granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances and plenty of space for preparing meals and entertaining. Granite surfaces and refined finishes continue into the bathrooms. The spacious primary suite provides a comfortable retreat with two walk-in closets, dual vanities and a large walk-in shower. Both guest bedrooms are generously sized, offering flexibility for visitors, an office or hobbies. The home may also be purchased fully or partially furnished, if desired, making the transition to island living even easier. Florida living truly shines outside. Relax on the screened lanai or entertain around the new custom outdoor kitchen, complete with granite countertops, a built-in gas grill, refrigerator and sink. It is ready for weekend cookouts, evening gatherings and effortless outdoor dining. The large lot offers an uncommon sense of space, while the meticulously maintained exterior perfectly complements the pristine interior. Tropical Point Park and its waterfront beach area are within walking distance, placing kayaking, fishing, picnics and unforgettable sunsets just moments away. Beyond the park is Pine Island’s wonderfully unconventional character—a place where working waterfronts, tropical fruit groves, roadside produce stands, local artists, fishing boats and colorful personalities remain part of everyday life. Days move at their own pace, neighbors wave as they pass and flip-flops are appropriate almost everywhere. It is Old Florida with a little quirk, a lot of personality and none of the polished sameness found elsewhere. This is more than a move-in-ready home—it is an opportunity to own an exceptionally cared-for, thoughtfully constructed property in a lifestyle increasingly difficult to find. With its premium improvements, elevated homesite, storm-conscious construction, outstanding outdoor living spaces and distinctly Pine Island setting, 3742 Tangelo Drive stands apart from the competition.
