Eagles and Ospreys are sited daily. Shore birds abound. Miles of sandy paths will allow you to experience seven biodomes ranging from thick jungle to dune grasses. Gofer tortoises and reptiles are among the island residents. Sea turtles nest on the beach starting in May.

The island retreat home is a spacious two bedrooms, one bath, an open kitchen, dining and living area with a wrap around deck. Access to the roof top provides amazing views of sunrise on the bay and sunsets on the ocean side of the island.

The home comes with all amenities for you to enjoy days of fun at the beach or the bay including kayaks, beach tents, umbrellas, blankets, towels and toys as well as an outdoor shower to wash the sand between your toes.

About the host

My wife and I found this little piece of heaven when we came for a vacation to Bokeelia, Florida a few years ago. We had toured Cayo Costa State Park and loved the environment, the beach, and the bay. When we were ready for another vacation, we chose this particular house on Cayo Costa that has its own dock in a quiet canal and a spacious home with lots of outdoor living space with the wrap around deck and roof top observatory that provides 360 degree views of the entire island. We loved our stay so much we decided to buy it for our own use and now want to share the island experience as a vacation rental property.

Why they chose this property

We love being able to walk just 10 minutes to the tranquil beach on the Gulf of Mexico where we go searching for shells along the shore or enjoy great fishing offshore and at the lagoon nearby.

What makes this property unique

Our home on the island of Cayo Costa is one of few that have a private dock where we allow dockage for free to our guests. The home is only within 500' of the dock and 3/4 miles to the beach. We have the best roof top views of the entire island, bay and ocean. The whole house is green friendly as we get most of our power from solar panels with enough energy to run our solar refrigerator and solar powered television as well as the lights. We have plug-ins throughout the house to charge our electronics including cell phones and computers. We use propane gas for cooking on our gas range inside and our Weber grill outside. The whole house generator is used on occasion to run the washing machine but otherwise, not really needed. We get our water from our rain water catchment tanks and we have an under the sink RO system for clean drinking water. As a green home, we are able to live comfortably on this "off-grid" island.
