Cape Coral Unit 67. With unrestricted sailboat access
PAGE 7 of Cape Coral Waterfront Buyer’s Guide
In the SW portion of Cape Coral, at the base of the Westernmost access point out (and closest to the Gulf of Mexico) you will find Cape Coral’s most desirable, unrestricted sailboat access boating location, Unit # 67.
Please note that sections of Cape Coral don’t always have names associated with them, instead some areas go by simply their ‘unit’ numbers, in this case Unit 67.
We are also temporarily excluding mention of some really nice properties immediately to the west of this section, located in the Cape Harbour community. They don’t quite make this list because they fall behind a boat lock (and therefore aren’t unrestricted access, though they can accommodate sailboats). But they are great options for higher dollar purchases (ex: $700,000s+ for the single family waterfront homes) and we will discuss those later on.
The sailboat access portion of Unit 67 is quite simply the best of the best, but prices will show that owners are very aware of it! [See current pricing here]. If you were looking at a larger map of the area you’d see this SW location has Cape Coral’s shortest boating run to the open Gulf waters. Combine that with unrestricted sailboat access, some wider and very deep canals and you’ve got a premium combination. Hint: rather than trying to remember the unit number to this location, simply refer to it as the Sailboat access property around “Cape Harbour” and “Tarpon Point Marina.” The canal splits these two sections (see image to the right). Those on the Western (left) side are directly across the street from one of the two nicest developments in Cape Coral, called Cape Harbour. It offers restaurants, a marina with wet & dry slips, live music, boat rentals, a few shops, and more.
For those who aren’t familiar with the area and are planning a visit, I recommend that you check this area out, even if not for the real estate searching aspects! Perhaps for dinner, drinks, or maybe to rent a boat and to see the city from the canal vantage point too. You can also view bird’s eye views of Cape Coral Unit 67 at this link. (Opens in pop-up window so you don’t lose your place on this page). Also be sure to click on the various compass directions (ex: North, East) to rotate the angle of the view and you can zoom in a little bit more too using the + and - tools. Another great resource is Google’s street view images, taken from a drive-by perspective. View Google Street view for Cape Coral Unit 67 at this link.

Cape Harbour: Directly across the street from the Western half of Unit 67.
And as far as the portion of Unit 67 on the East side of the dividing canal (the portion on the right in that photo above): This area is equally impressive and valuable, it’s just that there’s only a handful of existing single family homes on this side of the canal. Most of the options here will be in Tarpon Point Marina’s development, including it’s very desirable high-rise towers with commanding views. The whole Tarpon Point Marina area is another highly recommended area for visitors to the area to check out for reasons other than the actual real estate search. There’s a nice waterfront restaurant on site (Marker 92), a pavilion/bar overlooking the marina (Nauti Mermaid), and a very nice, newer Westin that would be my first recommendation as for a place to stay while visiting Cape Coral. Here’s a link to their site.
Both this and Cape Harbour’s marinas are the quickest to the Gulf, should you opt to keep a boat in a marina instead of directly behind a home. Which brings me to another point: a very desirable characteristic to Cape Coral is that in almost every single case, the boat is in fact directly behind your residence. With so many canals, that can be accomplished cheaper in Cape Coral than most any other location in Florida. Do realize though that homes are built on similar sized, regular lots scattered throughout the town, and typically aren’t in gated or golf communities, though there are indeed golf courses, etc in the city. Communities like Tarpon Point are more the exception than the norm here. In this case if one were in the high-rise towers, the boat would be kept in a marina and you’d pay the HOA fees for the condo plus the slip rental fee. The same is true in Cape Harbour. So if the idea of a marina instead of right behind the residence is not right for you, don’t worry- in almost all other condos (and single family homes) throughout Cape Coral, the boat is literally right in your backyard. It’s just that given the shortest boating run and desirability, this area goes with marinas and is built at a higher density than the rest of the very suburban-like town. Here’s a few links you can view to better explore Unit 67:

Wish to view active listings in this area? You can view all current Cape Coral, FL Unit 67 direct sailboat access listings at this link. Note that some condo units in developments such as Tarpon Point may or may not be listed as ‘Gulf access’ though, as they don’t technically include a slip, though slips are for rent for a fee. For that reason, you can also search the whole collection of Tarpon Point Marina listings, regardless of whether they are listed as Gulf access at this link. (Links open in pop-up windows). Be sure to save your search, if these are areas of interest to you!
This does bring up a matter to discuss: When searching in developments, should you assume all with some form of Gulf access will indeed be listed as ‘Gulf access’ properties? Typically it won’t be an issue since there’s only a handful of communities in Cape Coral built with marinas like that. But the answer is NO, don’t always assume so. It is something to bear in mind when searching larger communities in, for example Burnt Store Marina or Gulf Harbour in Fort Myers, especially when the boat sits some distance from the actual home or condo, such as in the community marina, or if buying or leasing a slip is only available as additional fee. Listing agents must choose whether to list such properties as offering Gulf access, and there is variation among them, so if doing a search in a location where slips aren’t necessarily included, be sure to conduct it in both ways, to avoid missing any listings. Of course I’m here to help too!
Next, we will take a look at Unit 64 which offers a bit more attractive pricing:
