🌅 1658 Windmill Ave, Marco Island, FL — Waterfront Living, Marco Island Style

Dated: March 31 2026

Views: 32

Some homes check the boxes.
Others change the way you live.

1658 Windmill Ave is one of those homes. Set on a quiet canal just one turn from the Marco River, this property offers direct Gulf access, beautiful water views, and the kind of indoor-outdoor living that makes Marco Island one of the most desirable waterfront communities in Southwest Florida.

This is more than a home. It’s a boating lifestyle.


🚤 Direct Gulf Access — No Bridges

For boaters, this is what matters most:

  • Direct Gulf access

  • One canal from the Marco River

  • No bridges

  • Quick access to open water

  • Room for your boat right behind your home

From your dock, you can be:

  • At the Snook Inn by boat for lunch

  • Fishing in the Gulf within minutes

  • At Keewaydin Island for the afternoon

  • Watching the sunset from the water instead of from shore

This is the kind of boating access people search years to find.


☀️ Bright, Open, and Built for Easy Island Living

Inside, the home feels exactly how a Marco Island waterfront home should feel — open, bright, and relaxed.

  • Vaulted ceilings

  • Porcelain tile flooring

  • Open living and dining areas

  • Impact windows

  • Newer roof

  • Sun-filled interior throughout the day

The layout is designed for easy living, entertaining, and enjoying the water views from inside the home.


🍽️ A Kitchen That Connects the Home

The kitchen opens directly into the main living and dining areas, making it perfect for:

  • Entertaining friends

  • Family gatherings

  • Casual dinners after a day on the boat

  • Weekend visitors

Everything about the layout is designed to keep people together and keep the home feeling open and connected.


🛌 Comfortable Bedrooms for Family and Guests

The primary suite offers a quiet place to recharge after long days on the water, while the guest bedrooms are perfect for visiting friends and family — and on Marco Island, you will definitely have visitors.


🌴 Outdoor Living Is What Marco Is All About

This is where this home really shines:

  • Custom pool

  • Tiki bar

  • Canal views

  • Room for outdoor dining and entertaining

  • Dock and boating access

  • Southwest Florida sunsets

The backyard is built for the Marco Island lifestyle — boating, swimming, entertaining, and relaxing outdoors year-round.


🚗 Extra Garage Space and No HOA

  • Oversized two-car garage

  • Room for kayaks, paddleboards, golf cart, and gear

  • No HOA

  • No rental restrictions

  • No rules telling you how to use your property

That flexibility is becoming more and more valuable on Marco Island.


⭐ Why This Home Stands Out

This property is ideal for:

  • Boaters

  • Full-time Marco Island residents

  • Seasonal residents

  • Vacation home buyers

  • Investors

  • Buyers looking for direct Gulf access

  • Anyone wanting the true Marco Island waterfront lifestyle

Direct access + pool + tiki bar + no HOA = a very rare combination.
