Fabulous Location For Fishing and Relaxing

My husband and adult sons were looking for a place to stay for a long weekend to do some fishing and relaxing.. They looked at places on the Keys but ultimately chose this house because of its location right on the water with a dock to keep a rented boat. They also have so many fond memories of vacationing many times in Captiva growing up and this locatiom would allow them to take their boat to Cabbage Key for lunch - a family favorite activity. This house definitely delivered on all accounts. It was very clean and perfect for three people. Everything very well maintained and communication with Ron the owner was seamless. The location is very peaceful and they loved the little town of Bokeelia for its cute and colorful restsurants and shops. Would highly recommend.

An amazing week

The stay at this property couldn't have been better. It was exactly as advertised, very quiet neighborhood, extremely well-appointed kitchen and very comfortable. The Host was extremely quick to respond to any communication, with thoughtful and helpful responses. We hope to return Pine Island, and this will be the first place we will consider for our home away from home.

Wonderful vacation home!

We spent 4 nights for our spring break trip with our boys (14 and 17). Wish we would have had more time. We had a ball and the house and property are wonderful. The kayak made it so fun for the boys. Lots of fishing off the dock. We rented a boat for a few days and tied it to the dock. It was a great way to see the local beaches and dockside restaurants. Ron was a wonderful host and more than accessible. He answered every question within 20-30 minutes. Highly recommend this rental!

Amazing 25th Anniversary trip

This was our 3rd stay on Pine Island and our 1st stay at this house. We loved everything about the house…the location, the beautiful, updated, decorated house. The view from the deck to the dock/canal was wonderful! I would highly recommend this house. Ron was very easy to work with. He responded very quickly to our text.

Better than a “Mouse House Resort”.

We had a wonderful time! The house was very, very clean, and had everything you would need to make your stay enjoyable. The rooms and bathrooms were well appointed. The view from the balcony was amazing both day and night! A kayak is also available.We enjoyed the living room furniture so much that when we got home we ordered a sofa from the same line. (Sorry, we had to peek under the cushions.) The location is excellent. It is a quiet Island with great restaurants and friendly people. If you go at the right time, check out the mango groves. The Calusa Heritage Trail and Randell Research Center is a good place to visit to learn about the history of the Island. We had fun shopping in Matlacha’s many artisans shops. I would highly recommend this beautiful place for a quiet getaway.

Awesome house!

This place is top notch! So clean, so cute, exactly as pictured (maybe better!) It was a charming little place that definitely gave a beach vibe. It was super close to fun shopping and great restaurants. The owner was so fast to respond every time we asked anything. If you had a boat it would be even better with the water access and the amazing new dock. The wifi worked great and they had lots of options for tv entertainment. Anything we needed was provided (dish soap, laundry detergent, little cooler to take to beach, toilet paper, etc.) It was so nice we didn’t have to go out and buy those things. Tons of towels and extra blankets were available. Beds were super comfy and bathrooms were updated. The only downfall is it’s a little far from the beach, but we knew that going in. I would definitely come back and highly recommend this place!

Sweet seclusion

Even though there are neighbors, the tropical greenery and location on a canal made the property seem secluded. The view from the dock and front porch were dreamy. The house is well stocked. It looks like the master bedroom and bath were recently remodeled and they are terrific. Ron was very responsive to questions via text. We had no problems and a wonderful time. Looking to return again to do some fishing.

Docked on the water

Great dock. And great front porch. We spent our time between them. House and property were clean and neighborhood was very quiet. It was too windy to use the kayak but the location to open water looks very good. We did catch fish from the dock and noticed the underwater light early in the morning did attract some very large fish. Great place. Great stay.

Pine Island vacation

Great location for kayaking among the mangroves to view bird life. Finding the hidden lagoon we visited several times. Birding from the two person kayak provided by the rental especially nice. Hiking on island preserves and eating in local restaurants a fun addition to water activities. Top of the list however is sitting on the deck reading, and listening to the birds fly over the canal while a light breeze cools you from the 70/80 degree temperature. Loved every bit of our experience. Comment to owner: Twin beds should be upgraded to include box springs(not a “spring” bed), and the grill needs to have deflector screens which lay over the burners replaced as they are currently completely rusted through. Rating at 4star which otherwise would be 5star if not for the twin beds and grill.

Hidden gem and idyllic home

Of all the vacation properties we have rented in any location over the years, this is stand-out the best. Truly a luxury property at an affordable rate. First, I'd like to talk about the small details that are so often overlooked. This home has been furnished and stocked with high-end products that is everything you'd have in your own home. Comfortable leather couch and chairs, cushioned rocking chairs, solid wood dining table and chairs, modern television and channel/apps with separate speaker for also streaming music. Beautiful bathrooms, luxury towels and plenty of them. The beds and pillows are soft and comfortable. Plenty of hangers and large closet space. The kitchen was stocked with beautiful plates, bowls and cups, strong silverware, cooking utensils, pots and pans and casserole dishes and strainers and everything you'd need to cook a lovely meal. This is so rare in vacation homes which are normally stocked with bare-bones, inexpensive items. I can't speak highly enough at how well appointed this home is. Now, to the location. Such an incredibly beautiful, private setting! We were surrounded with so much beauty. There are dolphins, stingrays, fish galore, herons, and so many birds singing. The location is also close to the pine island city center yet still such a quiet place with a feeling of privacy. We shared the home with our parents and everyone had such a good time, never felt crowded, and we enjoyed games in the evening that are also stocked in the home. The owner is so attentive and you can tell he truly cares about his guests' experience. We will definitely make this a yearly vacation home and look forward to staying again. We enjoyed a lot of experiences within a 45 minute drive like the beach, parasailing, fishing charter, and even went skydiving. We had amazing food at the island restaurants and we also grilled fresh fish on the propane grill. This was the best vacation we've ever had. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful home Ron, and for making that possible.
