Nice house in a quiet location.
8.0 / 10.0
It was an honor to stay in the Captain’s comfortable house. Loved the neighbors and the fenced in yard. But attention is needed to details; there wasn’t enough silverware and some other items needed to be purchased. But until the water situation is better and they no longer are draining Lake Okechobee we sadly can’t return to Pine Island.
10.0 / 10.0
Our family visited in February of 2024. We had an absolutely wonderful time during our stay. First off, the direct acess to Pine Island Sound made getting anywhere by boat very fast. The house is only a 6 min boat ride from open water. Easily our favorite part. We could go anywhere we wanted very quickly. We especially loved seeing the dolphin family at the canal entrance many times. The house was cleaned and maintained very well. It met our needs perfectly. As pictured, the 3rd bedroom is small, but worked perfect for a child looking to have a separate sleeping area. (At the time of our visit, the room did not have a door, but I understand the owner is in the process of replacing it.)We really enjoyed the screened in upper deck, which offers a great view around. The house also has a great sitting area around the swimming pool that we used frequently. The swimming pool heater worked very well in combination with the pool cover. We enjoyed come back from boat rides to a warm swimming pool.We had a couple questions for the owner while there and Roy was very responsive. He took care of everything very quickly. In short, we wouldn’t hesitate to come back here in the future. We loved our time here.

Enjoyed the location. Perfect neighborhood for riding our bikes and walking the dog. Didn’t have an opportunity to use the pool as weather didn’t coooerate but it was clean and well maintained.

Very clean and good location
We rented this property for the location and the water access. We found the property very clean, it is more than likely the cleanest we have rented over the years. It had all we needed and we enjoyed our stay. We paddle board so being able to drop the boards off the dock was great.

Nice place!
Home was clean and offered a lot of features for the price. Screened in pool was great for the days we couldn't get to the beach. We really enjoyed our stay and had no complaints.

Emerald Ave
Quiet street and great communication with property manager. Property (kitchen cabinets) could use some repair but fully stocked kitchen & bathroom. Felt like I stepped back in time. Loved the old coast guard feel

The Perfect Stay
The Captain's House was absolutely perfect. Very clean, plenty of space and everything you need while away from home. The pool and patio area is wonderful. The kids had a blast. Being on the canal and having a boat lift, is perfect for renting a boat literally around the corner. The neighborhood is beautiful and quiet. The restaurants around town are just another perk. We will absolutely stay here again and again.
