Plantation Island rewards those who love life on the water. Tucked along the mangrove-fringed backwaters of Chokoloskee Bay, many homes sit on canals with direct access to the Gulf for sunrise fishing runs and sunset cruises. Weekend plans often revolve around tarpon and snook, paddle trips through mangrove tunnels, and wildlife sightings inside Everglades City’s gateway to Everglades National Park. Anglers and birders prize the nearby Ten Thousand Islands National Wildlife Refuge for its quiet flats, rookeries, and winding creeks that feel worlds away.
Daily conveniences and local flavor are close by in Everglades City, while broader shopping, dining, and healthcare choices await a scenic drive in Marco Island and Naples. Outdoor enthusiasts can trade the water for boardwalks and orchids at Fakahatchee Strand Preserve State Park, then return to evenings on the dock with dolphins rolling in the channel. Families are part of Collier County, with students typically attending the K–12 Everglades City School in the Collier County Public Schools system, known for small class sizes and a tight-knit campus community.
Whether you’re seeking a full-time waterfront base or an easygoing retreat with exceptional boating, Plantation Island offers a rare blend of privacy, access, and authentic Old Florida character. If you’re considering a move, Agent Pronto can connect you with a top local real estate professional—whether you’re buying or selling.
