Amazing Property in St. James City
We stayed here over my son's spring break to do some fishing on Pine Island. Overall, our stay was amazing. I would definitely stay here again and will most likely book another vacation here. The house was very clean with new furniture and bedding. The pool, dock, and firepit were amazing. Great location, quiet but close to several restaurants that would cook the fish we caught. Only issue which is small and hopefully resolved. The propane on the gas grill was empty. contacted the management company to resolve it. I tried calling, left a message, and texted and they eventually responded to my text advising me to take to a local store to have it filled. Again, not a big issue but I feel it could have been handled better on their part. Again, overall it was a great stay and look forward to returning.

Perfect Location
Overall we had a great stay. We didn’t know much about the area, but quickly found there is not a better spot for boating. 3 minute boat ride out to the water. The house and pool area were extremely clean. We had an issue with the pool heater that was resolved. The boat lift, trailer parking and kayaks were great. Plan to bring your own firewood. The beds are old (squeaky and feel every movement), but I understand the new owner will be renovating. Listing and information from owner and local contact was inaccurate and poor communication. They said they had beach towels, but had only 4 that were in sad shape. The bath towels (1 per person) were tattered and discolored. Easy fixes. The pool area desperately needs a cage. We couldn’t sit outside at night because nothing stopped them. In the end, a great trip because we loved the space and location so much!

Beautiful backyard
Love the location & the house. Just a few small maintenance issues that should probably be addressed(guest bedroom window wouldn’t close & water backup into shower & tub one day). No major issues, or anything that kept us from having a great time. Lovely quiet neighborhood.

A relaxing pool with unique canal view
Spent 3 nights with family at this relaxing home. Nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac. Clean interior with large tv with cable and streaming available. Kitchen opens up to a plunge pool overlooking a canal with tropical feel. We felt like we were in the tropics. Great time!

Great place for bringing your boat!
The dock and boat lift were perfect for our length 22ft boat. Could accommodate slightly bigger as well. Deep canal a short distance to the intracoastal. It was wonderful boating to the surrounding islands and the fishing was great. We loved seeing the manatees that came through the canal every day! The house was clean with a well equipped kitchen, nice linens, and plenty of towels. The pool was perfect after a long day on the salt water. This was a perfect place to stay.

Backyard space can’t be beat
The house was great. The backyard setup was amazing for the family and boat. Made everything very easy. Not much shade to be found around the pool, but not fault off the house. The interior was comfortable, but the back was where most of our time was spent. Short boat rides to dinner made it easy with.

We loved this location and plan to come back! It was beautiful and we enjoyed having the boat there 🥰 beds were comfy and the home was beautiful! There were so many mosquitos though and kept coming inside once you opened the sliding glass door, i think a screen would be super helpful. Overall our stay was amazing and everyone was so nice !! Highly recommend

St. James City was so peaceful
This location was super peaceful and entertaining. Right when you go into the home it felt cozy and relaxing. We had short boat drives to Captiva Island, Sanibel Island and Ft. Myers Beach. We got to explore all these locations on our stay which we loved. Can't wait to go back at some point...

Excellent spot for a quiet getaway
Perfect place for a quiet getaway. We spent our days by the pool and evenings fishing by the water. The sandy area by the fire pit makes you feel like you have the beach as well. Beautiful palms, friendly neighbors, quiet. We saw manatees and plenty of birds to keep our toddler excited. The house was equipped with everything we needed, including plenty of clean towels and extra pillows, which is appreciated! It is in the middle of nowhere, so you have to do some driving to get to the store, restaurants, the beach, etc, which was fine with us.

My husband and I stayed for a few days and had a great and relaxing stay. The house had everything we needed and the pool and manatees that hang out at the dock were an added bonus. The house is very clean and beautifully decorated. The backyard was so quaint that we spent most of our time out back. We would definitely stay here again!

It was a great property nicely updated interior with a pool outside on a canal. We were fishing from the dock caught some fish and one blue crab. We saw two manatees up close right at the dock. We would recommend this property.

A boaters dream house
We really enjoyed our stay here. The house is in the perfect spot for access to the Gulf. We enjoyed boating to the beaches and fishing in the back bay. My daughter caught two Snook, one 25" and the other 30"! They went back in the water to swim another day :) Our Dog had a great time boating and playing at the beach. The house is nicely equipped and the beds are comfortable. Plenty of hot water for showers and the patio was a great family hang out. Overall this house was great and we look forward to staying again.

Beautiful home, extremely clean, comfy beds and pollows. We really enjoyed ourselves. Only drawback was the smell of fish in the refrigerator. But it was nothing a box of baking soda could not handle. Communication with property manager was great informed her about freezer not making ice, we had ice bags in less than 30 min without us asking for it.
