Good house on quiet Pine Island
The house is older but a lot of excellent renovation done well. Everything clean and in good working order. Located in a private, quiet part of the Island with nice neighbors.Pine Island is a rare uncrowded part of Florida that's mostly a fishing/boating mecca. Lots of fresh seafood to buy, a few good restaurants, and a Publix. Very relaxing. We visited friends in Bonita Springs where traffic was gridlock.

Hard to beat
This place had so many of the things these two 60 grandparents like. - Seclusion (not on a buy street or too many people nearby). - A deck to just sit or eat on. - Ease of feeling at home- A neighborhood to walk- Not too touristy

Quiet escape
My husband and I just wanted a quiet, off the beaten path place to stay near the Gulf. If you are “beach people”, this isn’t the place. For us, it was perfect. We explored every part of the island and found good restaurants, history, and really welcoming people. We would definitely stay here again.

Exceptionally Clean and Quuiet
Susie is one of the best hosts I’ve encountered. She is helpful, and quick to respond. This place is at the end of a cul-de-sac it is quiet and there is a nesting pair of eagles in the back. The outdoor area is so comfy and ready for you to enjoy. It is well stocked and is the cleanest VRBO we have stayed in. A nice stay for sure

Shower and Spoons
There were two problems: 1) No soup spoon. Borrowed two from my sister who lives nearby. 2) Shower had no hot water. Lukewarm at best. More serious than spoons. Otherwise we would have given it an A+ rating.
