Map & Owner's Profile
Quaint Fishing Cottage on Pleasure Island
Year Purchased: 2006
Why the Owner Chose Everglades City
We have chosen this location to build our cottage because it is on a quiet island on the water. Everglades City is old Florida but close to many State and National Parks. We love to fish from our dock and take a boat into Everglades National Park. We have furnished our Quaint Fishing Cottage with lots of beds and with comfortable furniture. Our furnishings include a washer & dryer and several upgrades.
The Unique Benefits at this Luxury Cottage
Our Cottage on the Barron River near Everglades City is unique because you are on the water with a dock and boating privileges close by. Nature surrounds you and on any given day you might see a Dolphin, Eagle, or manatee. A short drive from our Island and you can see several alligators and a naturalist will give a short informative speech on alligators and other wildlife.
Owner's Map of Everglades City
My Wife and I are from Indianapolis, Indiana. We are retired with 8 grandchildren who love to visit our island retreat to fish from the dock, swim in the clubhouse pool, and enjoy the surrounding nature. We enjoy the peace and quiet on the island. We have a residence in Naples so we are 30 minutes away during the winter season.
