What If Your Morning Started at the Dock?

Imagine waking up, making coffee, stepping outside, and seeing your boat waiting just behind the house.

No traffic.

No crowded boat ramps.

No trailer.

No spending half the morning trying to launch while everyone behind you watches.

At 176 Venus Cay, boating can be part of your everyday routine.

Untie the lines and head toward the Ten Thousand Islands and Gulf waters beyond.

That doesn’t have to be a vacation day.

That could simply be Tuesday.

Welcome to a custom-built 2022 waterfront home in Port of the Islands, where modern construction, thoughtful upgrades, boating access, and the laid-back Southwest Florida lifestyle all come together.

And when you’re ready for restaurants, shopping, beaches, or a little more activity, Naples and Marco Island are still within convenient reach.

Built for the Way Florida Is Meant to Be Enjoyed

This home feels comfortable from the moment you walk in.

The open-concept kitchen, dining, and living spaces flow naturally together, making the home ideal for quiet mornings, casual dinners, or entertaining friends.

Natural light fills the interior, while large impact-resistant sliding glass doors connect the living space to the waterfront setting outside.

Some of the interior highlights include:

• Granite countertops
• Angled tile flooring
• Open living and dining spaces
• Impact-resistant sliding glass doors
• Plenty of natural light
• A layout designed for comfortable entertaining

It’s polished without feeling formal.

In other words, it looks just as appropriate with guests over for dinner as it does with everyone walking around in flip-flops.

That feels about right for Florida.

There’s More to This House Than Good Looks

The details behind the walls matter too.

The home was built with attention to features that may not jump out in the photos but could make a difference for the next owner.

The foundation and concrete pad were reinforced using both wire and fiber, while the garage was extended approximately four additional feet for extra usable space.

Other construction details include:

• R-19 insulation in the garage ceiling
• Side personnel door from the garage
• Aluminum pull-down attic ladder
• Additional attic storage
• Generous electrical capacity
• Infrastructure planned for future improvements

This wasn’t simply a home built to look good.

It was built with the future in mind.

Future Plans? This House Is Already Thinking Ahead.

One of the more interesting features of 176 Venus Cay is the electrical setup.

The home includes 400-amp electrical service, along with additional infrastructure that may help support future upgrades.

Features include:

• Electrical capacity suitable for future EV charging
• Two-inch conduit running from the garage toward the rear exterior
• 80-amp panel pre-wired for a future pool
• 100-amp panel for possible dock or rear-yard improvements
• 220V, 20-amp outlet in the primary bedroom
• Kitchen range area prepared for potential future LPG conversion

Thinking about a pool?

EV charger?

Additional dock equipment?

Other backyard improvements?

Some of the groundwork may already be in place.

Future You may appreciate that.

Connected Living Is Covered Too

The home also includes a structured communications panel with Cat5 and cable connections distributed throughout the residence.

That gives you infrastructure for today’s connected lifestyle.

Work from home.

Stream in different rooms.

Add smart-home features.

Or sit at your desk pretending to answer emails while staring out at the water.

We won’t tell anyone.

Let’s Get to the Part Boaters Really Care About

The Dock.

Behind the home is an approximately 8' x 18' floating dock constructed with aluminum and composite materials.

Because it floats with changing water levels, getting on and off your boat can remain convenient as the tides rise and fall.

From Port of the Islands, you can head out toward some of Southwest Florida’s most memorable boating areas.

Fishing.

Wildlife watching.

Island hopping.

Sunset cruises.

Exploring the Ten Thousand Islands.

Or simply cruising around without much of a plan at all.

Sometimes that’s the best plan.

The Backyard Is Ready for Your Imagination

One of the exciting things about this property is what the next owner can still create.

The backyard provides the opportunity to design an outdoor space that fits your own version of the Florida lifestyle.

Imagine adding:

• A swimming pool
• Outdoor kitchen
• Covered entertaining space
• Tropical landscaping
• Fire feature
• Lounge area overlooking the water

Or perhaps all of the above.

Because the home already includes infrastructure intended for future improvements, you may have a useful head start.

Buyers should independently verify permitting, setbacks, association requirements, feasibility, and construction costs for any future improvements.

Where Old Florida Meets Everyday Convenience

Port of the Islands has a character all its own.

As you drive into the area, things begin to feel quieter.

More natural.

More relaxed.

A little more like Old Florida.

It has the feeling of getting away without actually being too far away.

You’re still within convenient reach of Marco Island, Naples, beaches, shopping, dining, golf, groceries, and everything else Collier County has to offer.

It’s the kind of location that lets you enjoy nature and boating without giving up the conveniences you still want nearby.

A Quick Note About Insurance

The seller has reported a current homeowner's insurance cost of approximately $600 per month.

That can be helpful information for someone considering a waterfront property, but insurance costs may vary significantly depending on the buyer, carrier, coverage, deductibles, flood requirements, inspections, and market conditions.

Prospective buyers should obtain their own insurance quotes and independently verify available coverage.

Because discovering a hidden fishing spot can be exciting.

Discovering an unexpected insurance expense?

Not quite as fun.

Who Could Feel Right at Home Here?

Maybe you already own a boat and spend far too much time looking at other boats online.

Maybe your idea of a perfect Saturday is exploring the Ten Thousand Islands instead of spending the afternoon at the mall.

Maybe you want newer construction without something that feels completely cookie-cutter.

Maybe you’re already planning a pool, EV charger, outdoor kitchen, or additional dock improvements.

Or maybe you simply like the idea of being able to say:

“The boat is right behind the house.”

And honestly, that has a pretty nice ring to it.

Imagine Your Weekend Here

Friday afternoon:

Close the laptop.

Saturday morning:

Coffee by the water.

Walk outside.

Get on the boat.

Spend the day fishing, exploring, or finding somewhere for lunch that comes with a dock instead of a parking lot.

Head home as the sun begins to set.

Sunday?

Do it again.

Monday?

Well, even waterfront living can't eliminate Mondays.

But it can certainly make the weekends better.

Come See What Waterfront Living Could Look Like

Photos can show you the home.

They can show you the dock.

They can show you the water.

But they can’t completely show you what it feels like to stand behind the property and imagine your own boat sitting there, ready whenever you are.

That part is better experienced in person.

If you're looking for newer construction, thoughtful infrastructure, waterfront living, and boating access in a unique Southwest Florida setting, 176 Venus Cay is worth a closer look.
