Darling ’50s beach cottage is the ultimate winter escape

Winter means it’s time to think ahead to the summer, and, perhaps even further into the future, where you might consider spending the colder months in a warm, tropical climate. To do so, you need a place to stay.

Coconut Cottage in Captiva, Florida could be your winter home-away-from home. Built in 1958, the darling two-bed-two-bath retains plenty of its original charm while boasting sleek, modern updates like marbled kitchen and bathroom countertops. With soaring, beamed ceilings, and white wood-paneled interior walls, shuttered windows, and hardwood floors, it’s a lovely, sun-drenched retreat with a screened-in porch, open deck, and easy access to the beach.

The property, located at 11539 Wightman Lane, sits on a 10,118-square-foot lot among palm trees and lush vegetation and can be yours for $1,575,000.
