This was our first time at this property..the view, the location was wonderful. We come to fish so the easy in and out with the boat was a plus,also it is a stilt home but there was a lower space that made getting equipment on the boat easy and efficient The house was cozy and comfortable and had all we needed. It was great to see Pine Island and St James City starting to come back. We have been coming there for years and unfortunately some of the other properties we had used are no longer there, Fishing was great and we truly enjoyed ourselves

Place was good!

Property was very nice considering the surrounding damage from Ian we had a great time everything was clean owner was easy to work with we had dolphins right by the sea wall which was awesome kayaks were nice one seat was broke but we made it work thank you for sharing your home we look forward to coming back

This was just what we were hoping for! Nice place and an amazing view! Loved watching the boats, birds and dolphins! Pine Island was the perfect blend of old Florida and central location. We enjoyed becoming familiar with it! Even though the devastation we saw was heartbreaking, it was tempered by the energy and enthusiasm put into rebuilding. We can’t wait to come back and see the progress!

The property needs to have some TLC and freshen up

The house was very clean and well appointed. The deck was great for relaxing and watching the parade of boats go by.

Let me start by saying the owner is great and the lines of communication were great in the beginning. The house is in a BEAUTIFUL spot and was very comfortable. It's definitely a diamond in the rough...it was only one of a handful of homes that wasn't destroyed on it's street & surrounding areas. Sad to see how much devastation Ian left in it's wake! With that being said . they get a free pass for not mentioning they hadn't replaced their oven. We purchased take and bake pizzas, groceries to make a Christmas dinner and even items to bake gingerbread cookies ... only to learn we only had a small toaster oven. We donated the items to a grateful family and infused the local economy by eating out a lot. Now to the NEGATIVE about our stay. Richard(owner) had to use his last choice for a property manager due to his regular manager having an emergency. The stand in manager we were stuck with was not only unpleasant, but we also had items go missing. Because of the kitchen issue we had to find a different rental property and had the task of moving from one place to another. Due to the inconvenience Richard knew we might be a bit delayed in checking out, but didn't foresee an issue. He didn't mention that Cindy (acting mgr) doesn't like concessions. She arrived at the house ahead of the normal 10am check-out time and was relentless at expressing her displeasure of an extended check-out. My poor husband was trying to grab our remaining items while she stood over him to reprimand him for not being out by 10; regardless of the fact arrangements were made for a slightly delayed check-out (we were out by 10:30) Shortly thereafter we realized items were left behind in the chaos, and I reached out to Cindy to let her know and to make her aware that 2 delayed Christmas packages were also set to be delivered late in the day. She let me know she found our items and the packages arrived. She told us not to enter the house, but would leave them outside for us. When we arrived, our items were missing. I contacted Cindy & was told if they were missing it was our fault since we left them behind to begin with. She said she left our items in front of the garbage cans in a white garbage bag. WHO DOES THAT in a Post-Ian area when people are digging through trash for treasures. I called Richard with a threat of police & asked him to view his Ring footage...3 days later I got a call. Someone thought it was garbage, but miraculously it was back at the house minus a few items

Amazing stay. Clean, comfortable, modern, well stocked. We couldn’t have asked for more. We have been staying on pine island for the last couple months and this is our favorite place. Host is amazing. Will absolutely stay again

Will be renting this vacation gem again!

Words can’t explain how beautiful this home and placement of the house on the canal for amazing sunrise and Sunsets and quick access to open water. It was a definite plus to be able to keep our boat out of the water when not in use with the boat lift. The place was extremely clean and comfortable. We highly recommend it and we will definitely be back again.

This is a great place for quiet and relaxation. Greatly enjoyed watching the boats parade by from the deck.

We had the most peaceful week at this property! House was perfectly clean & had everything we needed & more! Communication was excellent. Location was ideal for going out on the boat. We will definitely return, thanks so much for providing such a nice getaway home!

Property manager checked on us and had a great stay. Most of the time was on the water boating the location was perfect close to open water with a boat lift. Would stay again for sure!

We enjoyed our stay and plan on returning next year.

What more can I say - we absolutely love this property and Pine Island. The house is immaculate and so well located - how can you beat the view? We are paddle boarders and it’s a perfect location for heading right out into calm waters with no wake zones. Check in is a breeze and the property manager is always readily available to answer any questions. As small town Floridians who live about two hours inland- this is a very special place to relax and enjoy a taste of Old Florida on the water. We will return!

My husband,myself, and our dog had a spectacular vacation in Saint James City at this home. It had everything we needed and so much more. We absolutely loved the area and the house. Holly , the property manager,was always available to answer any questions or offer any help you might need during your stay. Check in and out were very easy. The boat lift was great! We had our son and friends stay with us a couple of days and they loved it as well. The home is extremely comfortable. It was one of the best vacations we’ve ever had and we vacation a lot at some pretty nice places. We’ll definitely be returning back here as often as we can. Angela & Calixto Lopez (Miami,Fl.)

We all had a good and memorable trip. House location was great w/ quick access to open water by being at the end of a canal, and beautiful views. Town was cool with a very fisherman vibe. Holly, the local property manager was great, very helpful and super responsive. Thx Holly!

Wonderful, quiet, shhhh don't tell anyone. We need to keep this a secret.

Had a wonderful stay with our family of four. House was very clean and had everything we needed. Boys enjoyed the kayaks and bikes. Loved the location at the end of the canal. We rented a boat during our stay which was really fun. We went out to Coya Costa island a few times, North Captiva and also Cabbage Key. Holly was extremely helpful with all our questions and had great recommendations. I also enjoyed daily walks in the neighborhood. Would definitely recommend!

This home was everything we could have hoped for. The screened room was great for the evenings. We enjoyed the kayaks and bikes. The house had everything we needed to have a wonderful time on the island. Hope to book again.

This cabin was everything we wanted and more. The home itself is spacious and clean, and the access to the water was perfect for our small sailing kayak. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us, and we look forward to future stays.

Great Location as the house was on the water at the end of a canal, which made it easy to use kayaks. Great fishing in area. Bring bug spray!!! Got eaten by no see mes . Also bring DVDs or a some casting for the tv.

We had a wonderful week at this property! Just an incredible location and the house itself was perfect for us. Wish we could have stayed longer! The best view we have ever had on Pine Island! Thanks Robert!

The location is wonderful if you plan to spend your time fishing, and the view from the home is beautiful. The home was very clean, which is always a priority for us. The home, including the bed was very comfortable. Parking is ample and the boat lift was nice to have. Notes: There is no oven, only a stove top. There is not an ice maker in the main home. There is only very basic television stations available.
