Unparalleled views combine with exquisite details in this fully refurbished home on Matlacha Pass! You'll feel like you're on vacation every day as you lounge on the oversized lanai, dip in the heated saltwater pool, fish from the dock, sip a cool one under the tiki hut, or launch your boat from the 16,000 lb lift!
