Mornings here begin on the water. Set at the end of a quiet dead-end street on San Carlos Island, Sunset Slip opens onto a private dock that stretches out over the bay — the kind of place where the day starts slow, with coffee in hand and dolphins rolling past in the calm morning light. Come afternoon, the energy shifts poolside, where a sparkling pool and waterfront deck give the whole group room to spread out, soak up the Florida sun, and watch the boats drift by.

Inside, the home climbs across multiple levels of bright, open living space — a generous kitchen, easy gathering areas, and four comfortable bedrooms that sleep eight with room to breathe. The primary suite is a retreat of its own, with a dual-vanity bath, a deep soaking tub, and a glass walk-in shower with a built-in bench. With water views around nearly every turn, it's a true full-sized home built for togetherness.

What makes the setting special is how private and central it is at once. On its own dead-end lane, the home feels set apart from it all — yet you're just minutes from the heart of Fort Myers Beach. Stroll to the bayfront seafood favorites — Doc Ford's Rum Bar, Snug Harbor, and On The Bay — and watch the catch come in over fresh grouper and key lime pie. The Gulf's powdery white sand and warm turquoise water are close by, along with the shops, live music, and Friday farmers market at Times Square. Wander north to Bowditch Point Park for 360-degree sunset views, or take the short drive south to Lovers Key State Park for kayaking, shelling, and mangrove trails alive with manatees and dolphins.

When the sky turns pink, the best seat on the island is the one you already have — back on your own dock, toes up, watching the sun melt into the bay.
