Featuring three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a two car garage, and situated on an oversized lot at the end of a quiet dead-end street, this property offers exceptional privacy with minimal traffic. Currently operating as a successful Airbnb, it's an outstanding opportunity for investors or buyers seeking a vacation home that can generate income while they're away. Boaters will appreciate the home's prime location, just minutes from direct Gulf access with no bridges to open water. A replacement seawall was completed in 2020, featuring 118 feet of vinyl sheet piling installed in front of the original concrete seawall, providing extra durability and lasting peace of mind. The composite dock is equipped with a boat lift, making it easy to get out on the water for world-class fishing and endless island-hopping adventures to Sanibel, Captiva, Cayo Costa, and Pine Island. Thanks to the home's proximity to the Spreader Canal, you'll regularly enjoy visits from dolphins, manatees, schools of fish, and an abundance of native birds and wildlife. Designed with both style and durability in mind, the home features all hurricane impact windows and sliders, along with a durable tile roof. Inside, large format porcelain tile flows seamlessly throughout the home, creating a clean, modern aesthetic. The stunning kitchen showcases quartz waterfall countertops, white shaker cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances, while both bathrooms offer matching designer finishes with luxury vanities and beautifully tiled showers. Step outside to your private backyard oasis where the sparkling pool enjoys desirable southern exposure, providing sunshine throughout most of the day. Whether you're entertaining guests, relaxing after a day on the boat, or enjoying the peaceful waterfront setting, this home delivers the best of Florida living. Conveniently located near the exciting Seven Islands Project and Cape Coral Grove, this area is poised for tremendous future growth, making this not only an incredible place to live but also a smart investment in one of Southwest Florida's most sought after waterfront communities. ## Location - **Address:** 12088 Boat Shell Drive, Matlacha Isles, FL 33991 - **County:** Lee - **Neighborhood:** MATLACHA ISLES - **Coordinates:** 26.638679, -82.049682 - **Google Maps:** https://www.google.com/maps?q=26.638679,-82.049682 ## Virtual Tour & Media - **Video Tour:** https://www.propertypanorama.com/instaview/fgcmls/2026033137 ## Listing Agent - **Name:** Nick Comerford · **License:** 258034813 - **Brokerage:** Cape Premier Realty LLC - **Broker Phone:** (239) 896-4401 - **Listing URL:** [View original listing](https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/12088-Boat-Shell-Dr_Matlacha-Isles_FL_33991_M66086-81324?f=listhub&s=FMSWFL&m=2026033137&c=propsimple) ## Photos ![12088 Boat Shell Drive - Photo 1](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8173d81a7932c54622d54c7b99d15370l-f1745208420r.jpg) ![12088 Boat Shell Drive - Photo 2](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8173d81a7932c54622d54c7b99d15370l-f1373968776r.jpg) ![12088 Boat Shell Drive - Photo 3](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8173d81a7932c54622d54c7b99d15370l-f3580977469r.jpg) ![12088 Boat Shell Drive - Photo 4](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8173d81a7932c54622d54c7b99d15370l-f315389310r.jpg) ![12088 Boat Shell Drive - Photo 5](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8173d81a7932c54622d54c7b99d15370l-f2314777799r.jpg) ![12088 Boat Shell Drive - Photo 6](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8173d81a7932c54622d54c7b99d15370l-f536993128r.jpg) ![12088 Boat Shell Drive - Photo 7](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8173d81a7932c54622d54c7b99d15370l-f1147086956r.jpg) ![12088 Boat Shell Drive - Photo 8](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8173d81a7932c54622d54c7b99d15370l-f4264655129r.jpg) ![12088 Boat Shell Drive - Photo 9](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8173d81a7932c54622d54c7b99d15370l-f3253053048r.jpg) ![12088 Boat Shell Drive - Photo 10](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8173d81a7932c54622d54c7b99d15370l-f2329471714r.jpg) ![12088 Boat Shell Drive - Photo 11](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8173d81a7932c54622d54c7b99d15370l-f2383339132r.jpg) ![12088 Boat Shell Drive - Photo 12](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8173d81a7932c54622d54c7b99d15370l-f2572358665r.jpg) ![12088 Boat Shell Drive - Photo 13](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8173d81a7932c54622d54c7b99d15370l-f1106859575r.jpg) ![12088 Boat Shell Drive - Photo 14](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8173d81a7932c54622d54c7b99d15370l-f1044089392r.jpg) ![12088 Boat Shell Drive - Photo 15](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8173d81a7932c54622d54c7b99d15370l-f474608099r.jpg) ![12088 Boat Shell Drive - Photo 16](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8173d81a7932c54622d54c7b99d15370l-f1332254763r.jpg) ![12088 Boat Shell Drive - Photo 17](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8173d81a7932c54622d54c7b99d15370l-f1053307574r.jpg) ![12088 Boat Shell Drive - Photo 18](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8173d81a7932c54622d54c7b99d15370l-f3839905873r.jpg) ![12088 Boat Shell Drive - Photo 19](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8173d81a7932c54622d54c7b99d15370l-f2234609273r.jpg) ![12088 Boat Shell Drive - Photo 20](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8173d81a7932c54622d54c7b99d15370l-f187178194r.jpg) ![12088 Boat Shell Drive - Photo 21](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8173d81a7932c54622d54c7b99d15370l-f1443485896r.jpg) ![12088 Boat Shell Drive - Photo 22](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8173d81a7932c54622d54c7b99d15370l-f3431838865r.jpg) ![12088 Boat Shell Drive - Photo 23](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8173d81a7932c54622d54c7b99d15370l-f2515773833r.jpg) ![12088 Boat Shell Drive - Photo 24](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8173d81a7932c54622d54c7b99d15370l-f1836361514r.jpg) ![12088 Boat Shell Drive - Photo 25](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8173d81a7932c54622d54c7b99d15370l-f1338853058r.jpg) ![12088 Boat Shell Drive - Photo 26](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8173d81a7932c54622d54c7b99d15370l-f926122739r.jpg) ![12088 Boat Shell Drive - Photo 27](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8173d81a7932c54622d54c7b99d15370l-f827520069r.jpg) ![12088 Boat Shell Drive - Photo 28](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8173d81a7932c54622d54c7b99d15370l-f4176176681r.jpg) ![12088 Boat Shell Drive - Photo 29](http://lh.rdcpix.com/8173d81a7932c54622d54c7b99d15370l-f3962555730r.jpg) --- **MLS#:** 2026033137 | **Updated:** 2026-10-27 **Source:** listhub *Copyright © 2026 Florida Gulf Coast Multiple Listing Service, Inc.
