A rare and iconic waterfront retreat, the Coral Sandcastle Cottage captures the spirit of 1960s South Florida living, thoughtfully rebuilt to honor the original design principles of the famed Mackle Brothers known for their timeless Biscayne Bay architecture. Perfectly positioned on a canal that opens directly to the mouth of the Cocohatchee River, this property offers quick access to the Gulf within minutes and is surrounded by 3,000 acres of protected mangroves and estuary, home to extraordinary birdlife throughout the winter months. The exterior is a private oasis featuring 20 tons of imported sand creating your own beach, an expansive hardscape porch that nearly doubles the living space into the outdoors, and a 20’ x 12’ seafoam retractable awning covering the carport for flexible shaded parking or entertaining. Existing pilings allow for easy dock placement, accommodating a sizeable vessel with deep water access. A standing-seam roof of high-gauge metal, and PGT impact resistant windows and doors provide both style and peace of mind. Inside, the charming vintage cottage aesthetic shines with period-correct furnishings, craftsman-style moldings, custom Hinkley lighting, and a seamless open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area with bar-height seating. Leathered granite countertops resist fingerprints, while a vintage Sarasota Country Club server adds authentic character. Both bedrooms are generously sized, complemented by a large bath, extra hallway storage, washer and dryer hookups, and a layout that lives comfortably like a high-rise condo. Modern upgrades include brand-new central air systems with heat pumps and professionally installed tankless hot water heaters. With no community rental restrictions, a rarity for Naples waterfront, and strong social media recognition, this meticulously curated cottage offers exceptional immediate vacation rental income potential along with long-term investment upside, especially with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers scheduled dredging of the Cocohatchee River in 2027.

$1,379,000

The Blue Cottage is a coastal mid-century showpiece set along Gulf Harbor’s widest canal, where nearly continuous seawall construction helps preserve depth and water clarity while offering direct, minutes-to-the-Gulf access via the Cocohatchee River. From the moment you enter through a private coco plum arbor, the home unfolds into a meticulously designed waterfront compound complete with a 10-ton sandy beach, extensive paver hardscape, and a dramatic 12’ x 18’ copper trimmed covered wood arbor with ceiling fans, lighting, retractable wall elements, and slatted shutters that can open seamlessly to the outdoors. A full dock with water and electric service, 10,000-pound boat lift, fish cleaning station, storage boxes, and walkway access around the vessel make this an ideal property for serious boaters. A hand-painted fish mural by renowned Florida artist Jared Stinchcomb — known for his work at the Marco Island Historical Museum — creates a one-of-a-kind artistic focal point. Located beside the historic stone coral bait house from Gulf Harbor’s early days as a natural fishing estuary, the setting is rich in authentic Old Florida charm. The interior continues the refined coastal narrative with hand-glazed concrete walls and a remarkable 10-layer continuous poured epoxy floor in sapphire tones, evoking the layered hues of the ocean. The flexible layout includes two bedrooms plus a sun room that could function as a third sleeping area, a spacious primary suite with separate sitting area and dual closets, and a marble tile bath with hand-laid detailing. The kitchen features a restaurant-style stainless steel sink and console, custom concrete dining table, and solid wood cypress cabinetry, all conveying durability and design. Art glass doors and custom carved elements further elevate the aesthetic. Offered fully turnkey with furnishings included, this residence is primed for immediate enjoyment or income production in one of Naples’ few waterfront communities without restrictive rental limitations.
