FALL IN LOVE WITH THE OCEAN BLUE

Authentic island living! A tranquil sandy beach, natural Florida Keys landscape and mesmerizing open water views are the setting for this fantastically private oceanfront pool home located on the leeward tip of Cook Island, off the Atlantic shores of the lower Florida Keys. Accessible by an approximately 10-minute boat ride from Big Pine Key, Cook Island is home to about 15 residences, peacefully remote yet only 30 miles from Key West and 2.5 hours from Miami. This island home is updated with new stainless appliances, new kitchen cabinetry and quartz counters, new bathrooms, new insulation, drywall and baseboards, new luxury vinyl flooring on first level, three new A/C split units, and fresh paint inside and out. Solar power, propane, cistern, septic tank and generator keep you comfortably self-sufficient, and trusty internet keeps you connected if you choose to be. This Florida Keys island home is an out of the ordinary, light-filled, serene escape from the busy life. It's just a few minutes away from ''real'' life, but a world apart! Store your boat and car at a nearby Big Pine Key marina (reasonable rental fee applies) when you're not in town!
