Whether you're visiting to venture out on the water or to indulge in a wide variety of other outdoor adventures, this canal-front retreat is your best bet here on Pine Island! The adjacent dock is your key to the surrounding waterways, and you're just minutes from world class fishing and shelling. You're also near Sanibel, Captiva, Cayo Costa, and the Gulf of Mexico. This property is convenient to a number of other local attractions including Galt Preserve with its winding nature trails, Jug Creek Marina with its resident dolphin, and the Museum of the Islands as well as nearby great restaurants, coffee and food trucks, and marine and fishing stores. Over on the mainland, pay a visit to downtown Fort Myers for unparalleled dining, shopping, and entertainment options, less than 30 miles from your door.

Boasting a sparkling, sun-kissed interior, this brand new, single-level home features a well-equipped, full kitchen with a suite of stainless steel appliances and a breakfast bar, a dining table for mealtimes or rainy day board games with the whole family, and a living area with plush seating and a TV for streaming all your favorite channels using your own accounts. Step outside into your screened and furnished lanai and watch boats pass by on the water or take a few steps down onto your private dock where you can drop in in one of the provided kayaks or the canoe for a paddle along Long Cut Preserve with kayak trails and hidden lagoons. You can watch manatees and dolphins play by day and marine life attracted to underwater dock light by night.

This home also includes a desk in one of the bedrooms for remote work or school, central air-conditioning, a private washer/dryer, and a gas grill to help you spice up your home-cooked menu.

We stayed after Christmas at Lavender Life in Saint James City. We loved this area. Not your typical strip mall Florida. It is a beautiful island with tons of restaurant and bar options, but no chain restaurants. There isn’t even a traffic light on the island. We loved getting in the provided kayaks and exploring the mangrove trails, hidden lagoons and wildlife. The fishing gear for guests was a big plus. I even caught a few small fish that were hanging around the fish light. We traveled for the first time with our infant. Having a porta crib was helpful for us. The house is brand new and had everything that we needed. They provided spices and grilling supplies as well as coffee, tea, toiletries, laundry and dishwasher pods. This was the relaxing getaway we needed. We plan to come back with our boat to take advantage of the dock and explore Pine Island Sound and the Gulf.
