About this property
3752 San Carlos Drive (Dockside Dreams): 3 BR, 2 BA House in Saint James City, Sleeps 7
- Dockside Dreams @ 3752 San Carlos Dr. – Bayfront 3BR/2BA with Boat Lift & Quick Gulf Access
Welcome to Dockside Dreams, your slice of paradise on the beautiful shores of San Carlos Bay. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath waterfront retreat combines laid-back island living with all the comforts of home—perfect for boaters, anglers, and anyone who loves soaking up scenic water views and Southwest Florida sunshine.
Step inside to an open, airy living space where extensive windows frame reveal canal views and fill the home with natural light. The coastal-inspired décor, comfortable furnishings, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow create a setting that fosters total relaxation.
The fully equipped kitchen offers everything you need to prepare your catch at home, while the adjoining dining area and spacious living room make it easy to gather with family and friends. Step out to the screened lanai or waterfront patio—ideal for morning coffee, evening cocktails, or simply watching boats drift by.
Outdoors, enjoy your own private dock with a boat lift, providing quick and direct access to the Gulf for fishing, island-hopping, or a sunset cruise. The large yard invites you to unwind after a day on the water, surrounded by tropical landscaping and tranquil bay breezes.
When it’s time to rest, you’ll find three comfortable bedrooms thoughtfully designed for comfort and privacy. The two bedrooms overlook the water, revealing peaceful water views. An office with a daybed can provide additional sleeping space as needed or for staying updated while working between fishing trips.
Located in St. James City, Dockside Dreams puts you close to local marinas, waterfront restaurants, and shops—plus easy access to Sanibel, Captiva, and Pine Island Sound for unforgettable coastal adventures and some of the best fishing around.
