Crescent Island is quite special for the fact that it is truly a private island, with only one home on the entire four acre island, and a dock that provides unrestricted access to the Gulf and the Intracoastal Waterway. For anyone who desires to escape the madness on the mainland to their own private island retreat, or simply a peaceful spot of respite along the Florida coastline for themselves, your once-in-a-lifetime opportunity awaits. Property includes three levels of decks including a 360 degree upper deck & a screened in deck off the living room. The “Old-Florida” style home features three levels, sleeps up to 12 over 5 sleeping spaces (3 bedrooms and a large private cabana and a bonus room with queen pull-out couch), 4.5 inside baths+additional outdoor shower, a rec room with foldout bar (and kitchenette) to the beach deck (and a pullout which sleeps two) and boasts breathtaking 360-degree views from every level. An artesian, freshwater well supplies life to the property. Inside, captivating waterfront views surround the residence, giving one the feeling of complete isolation from the mainland and its complications. All amenities are provided including solar power (with a backup generator), washer/dryer, full kitchen with large dining table, fireplace, Dish TV, Satellite internet, kayaks, water equipment and a heated pool. The cabana has one king, ensuite bath and kitchenette and is located across the beach from the main house. The master suite has one king bed and ensuite bath. The master suite provides a private deck, with views of Pine Island Sound, Sanibel Island and the nature preserve. The second upstairs bedroom has a double bed and a twin bed. This loft bedroom includes a full ensuite bath. The third bedroom is located on the main level. It also has a double and a twin bed. The main level also features a half bath and an outdoor shower on the outside deck beachfront. Surrounding the residence is a serene setting provided by mangroves, tropical and subtropical foliage, and the water teeming with wildlife – coastal seabirds, fish, dolphins and manatees. Just north of the island is magnificent Boca Grande Pass, world-renowned for sport Tarpon fishing. Kayak, watch the dolphins, take a ride on your boat and return just in time for dinner with the catch of the day – your recreation options are practically endless. Multiple restaurants (Waterfront Restaurant and Marina is 5 mins by boat, Grandma Dots on Sanibel is 12 mins), historical towns such as Matlacha and civilized amenities are available by a short boat ride to St. James City, Sanibel (12 mins away), Captiva Island, Boca Grand (48 mins) Pine Island, or Fort Myers. Grocery, pharmacy, bank and other services are available near the property. The Waterfront Restaurant & Marina is the closest restaurant only five minutes boat ride away. Grandma Dots on Sanibel Island is a twelve minute boat ride. Parking will be provided at a local Inn that we own. This Inn is where we will meet you and familiarize you with your boat. The 23' deck boat is provided for your own use (which stays with you at the Island for the duration of your stay). It is provided as a courtesy at no extra charge (similar boats rent for up to $650 per day from local Marinas). The island includes a 30' dock where the boat can be docked for the duration of your stay. The island is only 1000 ft. from St. James Town, and a few minutes from where your car will be parked. We can also handle luggage transfers & we accompany you to the island upon arrival to introduce you to the property and its amenities, as well as those of the local area and are always ready to help you with anything that might come up during your stay. One of a kind Crescent Island is close enough to civilization to be convenient, yet far enough offshore for a cozy, intimate getaway or time well spent with family and friends. Morning sunrises to the east over the mainland, and sunsets over the Wildlife Refuge in the evening to the west; the views are breathtaking. The whole island is yours ! ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Heated pool - Outdoor pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 4.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - Up to 23 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Location highlights - Near a hospital - Near an outlet shopping centre - Near the bay - Near the marina - Near the ocean - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Boat - Heated pool - Kayak - Water sports equipment - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Rafting nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Unit size: 2,300 square feet ## Similar properties ![On the beach, sun-loungers, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/115000000/114500000/114491400/114491379/eec10ad7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### “BEACHFRONT” LUXURY ISLAND HOME.
