This property did not disappoint. Spacious and clean accommodations. Easy access to the bay and the fishing was great. We saw manatees and a tarpon in the canal by the boat lift. We would definitely book this place again!

We absolutely fell in love with this property! Luis and his family thought of everything! So well equipped, so comfortable. Access to canal for fishing was great. So peaceful and quiet. Restaurants a short golf cart away if we wished to eat out or go out for a drink. Bait shops were very close. Grocery and produce just a short car ride. This was definitely our most relaxing vacation! See you next year! Carol

Went down for a week of fishing. Hit a cold windy first few days and that slowed the bite. Overall had a great time the place was clean and spacious Our host luis was great!

The house itself was great. It was spotless. There was a large open area including the kitchen, family room, and dining area, with plenty of a windows to give a view of the canal. The kitchen had new-high end appliances. We had never stayed in a manufactured home before so we were not sure what to expect. It was extremely specious with high ceilings. There is an enclosed lanai with plenty of seating and a TV. There is a long dock, with seating, allowing for fishing and watching the wildlife. Using the huge hot tub at the end of each day was perfect. By the dock is a gas grill and a charcoal grill. We would grill out every night while looking out over the water. We saw an amazing display of wildlife. There was a bald eagles nest a few doors down, 2 large and colorful iguanas would sunbath in a tree across the canal. We saw dolphins and even a few manatees swim by. There are 2 tiki bars a few blocks away and it was great to take the golf cart there. We wanted to take a family trip that seemed like we were visiting a tropical island, and this definitely was even better than we were imagining. Luis is a great host. He was friendly and very responsive to communicate with. I cannot recommend this property enough for anyone looking for an island getaway. My family can't wait to go back.

The house was perfect for our trip. It was only a 20 minute drive to the ferry dock where we met up with friends staying on North Captiva. The house was very comfy and cozy with plenty of room for everyone. We enjoyed the hot tub both morning and at night. We were able to walk to the general store as well as to Froggys and Phizzy’s. Both places had good food and live music! It’s a quaint and quiet location. We would definitely stay again.

Great place had everything you needed. The only disappointed 😞 was the hurricane damage down town.

Great stay, very clean house, location was great for fishing, we would definitely stay there again. Thank you

I can't say enough good things about this property. The listing information and pictures were very accurate, and the house and grounds were very clean and comfortable. Very impressive just a few months after a devastating storm. I love St James City and visit there a few times every summer. I had seen this property listed before and had considered booking it, but the water access worried me as I was unfamiliar with the channel and canal leading to open water. As it turned out, it was no problem at all. Now that I know, this property will be high on my list for future visits. Communication with the owner was very easy. There was an issue with the A/C when we arrived, but Luis had it resolved before we returned from dinner, and we had no further problems. I would recommend this vacation rental to anyone.

First time staying in St James City and this place was perfect for 4-6 guests. We brought our boat and the dock area was perfect. Very close to restaurants and fun local bars. Great time!

Excellent location for fishing. Easy to get to with plenty of support for fishing.

Thank you for helping us.

We choose this place because we wanted a place with a dock for our boat and good access to the Gulf. It was perfect. The house was larger than expected and the dock and boat lift was perfect. Our grandkids loved the swim spa. There was great access by boat to barrier island shell beaches. If your coming to fish, hunt shells or just boat ride and be outside this is the place.

Perfect place to relax

Tranquility Villa was one of the highest quality properties we have stayed in since renting thru Vrbo. We loved Luis' quick response when we had a few needs & his openness to let us know that the problem couldn't be immediately resolved without a part he would obtain early the next day. In the meantime an alternate heat source was supplied for us during an unexpected " Cold Snap " We so enjoyed the water in the channel outside, as it was available for kayaking ( kayaks supplied ) We were captivated by the many birds attracted to the water each day as we sat outside and enjoyed coffee or breakfast Pelicans, Herons, Egrets and Kingfisher all on the search for the plentiful fish we observed in the water each day.. We were able to take advantage of a huge hot tub once the weather warmed and that was GREAT!!! Home was well stocked with any an all things you could need, beds were comfy with exceptional bedding so fresh and clean. the screen porch was very nice * all high end furnishings * we didn't use the exercise equipment, but it was available should we have cared to ; along with bikes and a golf for fun travel thru out the neighborhood. We all agreed we would no hesitate to come back again. thank you Luis and family for sharing your tranquil villa with us. Tom, Carol , and Family

This is our second time staying at the property and we had yet another great experience. The house was clean, spacious and had everything we needed. The addition of the swim spa was wonderful after a day out on the water it was great to come back and relax in the spa. Luis is a wonderful host and I hope we can come back again!

This vacations have set very high the bar! We had a unforgettable vacation and this property was perfect for us. Everything was clean and well organized. Luis was easy to communicate with, answered every question and always helped. All the amenities in the house were excellent! The kids enjoyed the jacuzzi, my in law loved the massage chair, the place was safe for our pets, the sunsets were gorgeous from the deck, the boat was safe in the slip. The area was beautiful, the beach excellent. We found wild animals every day, manatees, turtles, dolphins, birds and fishes. Our family had one of the best vacations time ever.

Really great place….spacious and very clean !

Great place, so many amenities, massage chair, outdoor kitchen. Boat lift worked great, hot tub had a bit of mildew smell. Covered Parking for 2 vehicles or a vehicle and boat trailer. Very quiet neighborhood and golf cart sure was nice!

This property was even better than advertised. It felt like a home away from home. Would definitely recommend for anyone!

We checked out the local eating places and had great meals at each one! Weather was great. Even caught two fish. Through them back in for the next person to try!

We would definitely come here again! We have stayed in several VRBO’s and this was by far the cleanest, the most cutely decorated, and they thought of everything. We cooked most nights and had everything we needed. My husband said that if he had only brought his boat we could’ve stayed forever. We got to meet the owners in person and they were phenomenal. We met the neighbors and they, too, were phenomenal. We hope they let us come back again!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Our stay was very nice. Owner was very helpful and easy to contact with any questions we had. Rental was spacious and beautiful. We used hot tub, golf cart and the boat lift. Saw many dolphins and manatees in the canal. We will definitely stay again ...

We loved staying in this home. It’s spacious and beautiful and the location is excellent. The only issue was that many things weren’t working at the time of our visit- the hot tub heater, the outside fridge and the golf cart. All things we would have loved to use. Once those are fixed, I would highly recommend this property!

The property is as described, spacious ,clean, with access to the canal where we were able to spend some time watching the manatees pass by and enjoying the sunset. Luis was very responsive to our inquiries and requests, it was a pleasure dealing with him. We were looking for time to relax and enjoy our short vacation. and everything went smooth. Looking forward to come again with family.

This property was located in a really quiet neighborhood and met our expectations. The house was spacious and clean. We all enjoyed our stay.

I can not say enough about this place. We were looking for a quick getaway with family and friends. The house was perfect. The kids woke up and immediately started fishing. All you need is a suitcase with clothes. Local marina has great deals on boat rentals and so many good restraunts seconds away. If you are looking to just unwind look no further.

Perfect setting for a family get together. Spacious and comfortable house, perfect setting for kayaking and relaxing in nature. Would love to come again.

Our family and friends had such a great time staying at the property. It was very clean and spacious. We loved being able to bring our boat and explore the area around Pine Island. Luis was very helpful and easy to communicate with. We would love to stay there again!

The house is beautiful and clean. The view at the back of the house is beautiful at sunset. Great place to relax and fishing. The location is very convenient to places we planned to visit. Highly recommended. Thank you. Mark and Nila

This property was spectacular. The name Tranquility Villa is spot on!!! We enjoyed our time there immensely. It is very clean, well stocked and so relaxing. We would definitely stay there again. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your home.

The host was very responsive. It seems like a place the owners are proud to call their “paradise.” We were honored to share their space.

Pros- screened lanai with an outside kitchen and tv. Nice, friendly neighbors. Near the Ragged Ass saloon. Cons - Listed as a 3 bed 3 bath but the 3rd bathroom was on the screened lanai. Needed more kitchen utensils to cook comfortably. No iron or ironing board. Wish there was a ladder for access to canal for water sports.
