Cape Romano, Florida

Cape Romano is a cape at the southern end of Caxambas Island, just south of Marco Island and northwest of the Ten Thousand Islands in Collier County, Florida. The "dome homes" that are displayed here were constructed in the early 1980's and were said to be built to withstand hurricanes.

Guest: I used to fish with my father off of Cape Romano in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Beautiful! There was a missile tracking station situated there. This was before Marco Island was developed by the Mackle Brothers. Paradise lost.

The Cape and its dome houses is the place I go in my mind and heart when I "relax and go to a safe space." I was there when at least one house was there, and it had a wonderful outdoor aviary where I had an astonishing exchange with a Hyacinth Macaw. I still cherish the feather that beautiful bird gave me. Anyone know what happened to the birds?

I felt in love with domes when I first saw them 10 years ago. Together with my friends we searched everywhere to try to find any pictures or information on how those bubble houses looked inside and outside before they were destroyed. There is a community fan page on Face book designed for Cape Romano lovers. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Cape-Romano/138420742897809 If anybody had any pictures please share it with us.

I used to go to Marco Island & take the boat to Cape Romano with my uncle & cousin. My uncle had a cabin on Cape Romano with a dock. You could fish all day and not see anyone else. Great childhood memories.

So sad to see... My husband and I owned the house in the late 80's. Purchased the home from a gentleman from TN. I have actual photo's and a video. I'm not that skilled with the computer, so I have no idea how to post the photo's.

I'm jlm's sister. The house was unbelievable. I have over a hundred pix, and I'll try to figure out how to get them on the net. I'll post back here when I get them on.

My dad built the house and it was spectacular. Total solar power, collected all water off the roof into a tank under one dome, satellite tv and phone, hot tub. Every modern convenience. He built it just to see if he could.

I've been fascinated with Cape Romano for years. There was also a second home that was built fairly close to the dome home but farther out in the water (I think). I would love to know what it looked like. I would also like to know what these two houses looked like when they were new. Any info on where to go to see pics of the two houses would really be appreciated. Thanks
