8 Galleon Way Build your dream coastal retreat in Port Carlos Cove, an intimate, resident-owned 55+ co-op community of just 155 homes on Hurricane Bay, only a short walk from the white sands of Fort Myers Beach. One of the larger lots in the neighborhood, this premium waterfront property offers extra space, a private boat lift, and direct Gulf access with no bridges. Reach open water in under 10 minutes and enjoy easy access to the backwaters of Estero Bay as well as the Gulf. The boat lift structure is sound, although the motor may need replacement. The lot is cleared and ready for a site-built or modular elevated home. FEMA-compliant construction allows valuable space below for covered parking, storage, or outdoor living. With no homes directly across the street, the property enjoys a more open setting, added privacy, and less passing traffic. Port Carlos Cove offers an active, social lifestyle centered around boating and waterfront living. Residents enjoy a renovated clubhouse, heated community pool, pickleball and bocce courts, shuffleboard, a community boat ramp, dedicated storage areas, and clubhouse laundry facilities-all available with no additional use fees. The low $200 monthly maintenance fee includes water, sewer, trash pickup, seawall repair, road maintenance, and care of the common areas.
