Where are Matlacha and Pine Island?

Matlacha is a small fishing and art village on the road between Cape Coral and Pine Island in Lee County. Pine Island, the largest island on Florida's Gulf Coast, includes the communities of Bokeelia, Pineland, Pine Island Center and St. James City.

What is it like to live on Pine Island?

Life is quiet and Old Florida, with mangrove shorelines instead of sandy beaches, excellent fishing and boating on Pine Island Sound and Matlacha Pass, local seafood, and tropical fruit groves. Growth is limited, which keeps the island low-density.

What should buyers check on Matlacha and Pine Island homes?

Many homes are in high-risk flood zones, so ask for the elevation certificate, whether the home is built to current elevation, and flood and wind insurance quotes. Also check water access and depth for your boat, seawall or dock condition, and whether the home uses septic.

Are there waterfront homes with Gulf access on Pine Island?
