5 Gulf-Coast Florida Homes with Pools and Waterfront Access

On a residential street in Everglades City, this beautifully maintained 4-bedroom elevated coastal home is designed for days that move easily between indoors and out. Built on concrete pilings and offered with no HOA, it demonstrated real resilience—remaining dry during Hurricanes Irma and Ian. A bright, open floor plan sets a relaxed tone, with wood floors and crown molding carrying warmth through the main living spaces. The upgraded kitchen anchors the layout with granite countertops and stainless appliances, suited to everything from casual breakfasts to easy entertaining. Outside, a pool invites unhurried afternoons, while a fenced yard adds a sense of privacy and order. For boaters, the dock with lift brings the water close to daily life, complemented by a detached garage for practical storage.

Within the gated, guard-secured community of Sarasota National, the Maria Model at 25119 Spartina Drive pairs a light-filled, open floor plan with thoughtful, lived-in details. Four bedrooms and three bathrooms are arranged for both privacy and flexibility: a front bedroom styled as a nursery with a fort, bunk bed, built-in storage, and crisp wainscoting; a Jack-and-Jill bath connecting another suite; and a third bedroom with its own private bath. In the primary suite, sliding glass doors open to the lanai, while the ensuite offers a large shower and dual sinks; professionally organized closets keep everything in its place. Outside, a custom pool and in-pool spa sit on a travertine deck, creating a true retreat. Even dining can stay close to home, from the Indoor Palm Club to the outdoor tiki bar.

Along the Gulf-front on Longboat Key, this first-floor residence pairs Gulf views with direct walk-out access to a private sandy beach. Inside, an updated kitchen and spa-inspired baths set a refined tone, while impact-resistant sliding doors open seamlessly to two screened lanais for easy indoor-outdoor living. The layout includes two bedrooms and two baths, with a generously sized guest suite that comfortably accommodates two double beds—ideal for relaxed hosting. Everyday ease comes from a private laundry room with a full-size washer and dryer, two interior storage closets, and a spacious exterior storage unit. Offered furnished with select exclusions, the home also benefits from completed milestone inspections and assessments paid in full, letting you settle into the rhythm of the shoreline with added peace of mind.

Along the water’s edge in SW Cape Coral, this modern courtyard-style ranch home sits on a .32-acre corner lot with Gulf access. Recently remodeled, it’s arranged for easy hosting, with a detached guest suite that includes a kitchenette, refrigerator, and walk-in shower—doubling as a convenient pool bath. Inside, the bright, redesigned kitchen pairs a Quartz waterfall island and countertops with custom soft-close cabinetry, cathedral ceilings, and Samsung stainless steel appliances. A Jack-and-Jill bathroom connects two guest rooms, while a guest or flex room opens to a generous sun deck overlooking the water and Florida sunsets. For boating days, a lift accommodates up to an 8,000-pound vessel. A two-car garage and curved driveway add ample parking, with Cape Harbour Marina, The Westin, and nearby restaurants, shops, and grocery just a short distance away.

From its Gulf-access setting in Cape Coral, this fully updated home pairs a brand-new interior with a new roof, impact windows and doors, and new flooring. A great-room floor plan keeps daily living open and fluid, while an additional living area—currently used as a painting studio—adds welcome flexibility as a spacious office, family room, or even a future bedroom if desired. In the kitchen, new cabinetry and flooring are complemented by granite countertops for a clean, refreshed feel. Practical touches include inside laundry, plenty of sliders to bring in light, and dual sinks in both the master and second bathrooms. Designed for wheelchair access, the home also offers an oversized garage. Outside, an oversized triple lot and a 10,000 lb boat lift—just one bridge from the spreader—set the tone for easygoing days on the water.
