ABOUT US

Rooted in CraftsmanshiP.
Inspired by the Coast.

Founded on generations of expertise, Coastal Homes of Marco Island (CHMI) is a design/build firm defined by passion, precision, and purpose. What began in New England more than 35 years ago has evolved into a legacy of excellence now flourishing along Florida’s Gulf Coast.

Every residence we design is an expression of our clients’ lifestyles — a sanctuary where beauty, balance, and comfort coexist. We believe that a well-designed home feeds the soul, elevates everyday moments, and endures through time.

Our philosophy is simple: listen first, design with intention, and build with distinction. Guided by this principle, we collaborate closely with our clients to transform visions into architectural statements that feel both effortless and extraordinary.

Jacqueline Varni

Meet the founder

Owners, Jacqueline and Kent collaborate closely to design homes that are as personal as they are timeless. Together, they approach each project with curiosity and care — taking the time to understand every client’s vision, lifestyle, and aesthetic before a single line is drawn.

With a discerning eye for proportion and detail, Jacqueline ensures that each design reflects not only architectural integrity but also the spirit of those who will call it home. She and Kent share a guiding philosophy: at Coastal Homes of Marco Island, we don’t simply design and build houses — we create homes that embody the people who live in them.
