About this home

Direct Gulf access with no bridges. Private dock and boat lift. Dolphins, manatees, and the breathtaking Ten Thousand Islands right outside your back door. Welcome to 297 Stella Maris Drive S, where every day begins with the beauty of Southwest Florida's waterfront lifestyle. Cruise through the breathtaking Ten Thousand Islands and reach the open waters of the Gulf in about seven miles. Along the way, enjoy exceptional backwater fishing and unforgettable wildlife encounters - dolphins playing in your wake, manatees gathering beneath your dock, and exotic birds soaring overhead. Every day brings another reason to get out on the water. The private dock and boat lift are just steps from your oversized screened lanai, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor setting perfect for morning coffee by the water, sunset dinners, or entertaining after a day on the boat. This 1,360-square-foot residence features an open floor plan with a desirable split-bedroom design, offering two bedrooms and two full baths. A freshly painted interior provides a clean, modern feel throughout. A pocket door creates a private guest suite, separating the guest bedroom and bath from the main living areas. The spacious master suite includes dual walk-in closets and a generously sized bath with a garden tub perfect for relaxing after a day on the water, plus a separate glass-enclosed shower. The kitchen features granite countertops, under-cabinet lighting, and an open design that keeps everyone connected whether preparing dinner or entertaining guests. The laundry room is conveniently located just off the oversized two-car garage. When you're ready to explore beyond the water, the location offers exceptional convenience. At Port of the Islands, you truly don't have to choose between peaceful waterfront living and easy access to everything you enjoy. Spend your weekends on the white-sand beaches of Marco Island just 20 minutes from home, enjoy waterfront dining in Goodland, explore the charm and culture of Downtown Naples about 30 minutes away, or immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Everglades National Park just a short drive from your door. Everyday essentials, including Publix, Walmart Supercenter, and Lowe's, are approximately 15 minutes away. Public golf courses and endless outdoor recreation opportunities complete the lifestyle. Whether you're cruising to the Gulf, fishing the backwaters, or simply enjoying another spectacular Southwest Florida sunset, this is more than a home, it's the waterfront lifestyle you've been dreaming about. Welcome to paradise!

Total association fees sums the core association dues the MLS feed provides (HOA, condo/master association, and land lease), normalized to a yearly figure. These are separate from and additional to specialty charges, mandatory club or food-and-beverage minimums, special assessments, and rec-lease fees, which the IDX feed does not carry. Always confirm the full fee schedule with the HOA or listing agent.
