Welcome to Bees Bungalow, a private Key West–style waterfront estate tucked away on more than two acres in the heart of Matlacha. With 4,021 square feet of beautifully updated living space, five bedrooms, four-and-a-half bathrooms, a private heated pool and spa, and a dock with boat lift, this one-of-a-kind retreat offers plenty of room for families and groups of up to 12 guests.



From the moment you arrive, the home’s peaceful setting and panoramic water views create the perfect backdrop for a relaxing Southwest Florida getaway. Large windows fill the home with natural light, while water views can be enjoyed from nearly every room. The spacious, open layout was designed for gathering, entertaining, and spending quality time together without sacrificing privacy.



At the center of the home is a fully updated custom kitchen featuring granite countertops, upgraded appliances, a built-in microwave above the oven, generous counter space, and plenty of storage. Whether you’re preparing a quick breakfast before a day on the water or cooking dinner for the entire group, the kitchen is equipped to make meals and entertaining easy. Multiple dining areas provide plenty of seating, including a bright dining nook surrounded by windows and a larger dining space that flows naturally into the kitchen, living room, and game area.



The comfortable main living room offers ample seating and beautiful natural light, while the open game area includes a pool table for friendly competition. For an especially memorable view, head upstairs to the third-floor den and lookout. Surrounded by windows, this sun-filled retreat offers breathtaking 360-degree views of Pine Island, Matlacha Pass, and the surrounding bay. It also includes a dedicated workspace, comfortable seating, and private balcony access, making it equally suited for quiet mornings, remote work, or watching the sunset.



Bees Bungalow features four spacious king bedrooms and a family-friendly bunk room with full-over-full bunk beds. Three of the king bedrooms offer en-suite bathrooms, providing added privacy for couples and families traveling together.



The primary waterfront suite includes a king bed, private balcony access, beautiful water views, and a spa-inspired bathroom with dual vanities and a large walk-in glass shower. A separate mother-in-law suite features a king bed and private bathroom, offering a comfortable space for guests who prefer a little more separation from the home’s other sleeping areas.



Another poolside king suite offers peaceful waterfront views and convenient access to a private bathroom with an exterior door leading directly to the screened pool area. The fourth king bedroom features comfortable furnishings and relaxing coastal décor. The bunk room includes full-over-full bunk beds and a television, creating a fun space for children or additional guests. A shared hallway bathroom serves the bunk room and neighboring king bedroom, while a convenient half bathroom is located just off the kitchen.



Outside, the home opens to an expansive screened lanai overlooking the water. Spend your days swimming in the private pool, relaxing in the spa, lounging in the Florida sunshine, or enjoying a meal outdoors with the peaceful bay as your backdrop. Pool and spa heating are available for an additional fee.



Boating and fishing enthusiasts will especially appreciate the property’s private dock and exceptional access to the surrounding waterways. Located only moments from Matlacha Pass, the home provides convenient access to Pine Island Sound and the Gulf of Mexico. Guests may use the dock during their stay, and use of the boat lift may be available with advance approval.



The estate’s elevated setting, expansive grounds, mature tropical landscaping, and generous on-site parking provide a rare sense of space and privacy. Although Bees Bungalow feels like a secluded waterfront escape, it is located just seconds from the Matlacha Bridge and minutes from the area’s colorful art galleries, locally owned shops, waterfront restaurants, and island attractions.



Whether you’re planning a family vacation, a boating or fishing trip, a getaway with friends, or simply a peaceful escape by the water, Bees Bungalow offers the space, views, amenities, and unforgettable setting needed to experience the best of Southwest Florida.



Bees Bungalow is professionally managed by Shally’s Seashells Property Management, with a local and responsive team available throughout your stay. The home offers convenient self check-in, and detailed arrival instructions will be provided before your scheduled check-in date.
