NEW!! The “WATERSIDE” COTTAGE~With dockage

World class tarpon fishing, superb flats fishing for reds, & Snook in the mangroves, Trout in the grass, giant Sharks in the pass, Mackerel in the harbor, Grouper on the wrecks. You can catch Sheephead and Mangrove snapper right off the sea wall out behind this cottage. This cottage has quick access to Shell Pass, Pine Island sound, Charlotte Harbor. There are beautiful sunrises and sunsets, and great kayaking in the area.

The golf carts/kayaks/boats/bikes are available to rent through a local resources! Golf cart approved areas make it a fun addition to the trip! Bike ride the entire island and stop for lunch or views! Kayaking this area is voted as one of the top spots and boating and fishing, what can I say.. both amazing off this island!

Wait till you see this freshly done cottage! Ready for your stay, bring your boat or rent one near by to dock here. Or, simply enjoy sitting by the water with a cup of coffee. New mini split a/c just installed to keep you comfortable on even the hottest of days! Lots of history on this beautiful island with fishing you'll be amazed with! Tarpon capital of the world and Charlotte Harbor moments away from the dock! Boca Grande, Cayo Costa, Useppa, North Captive, Sanibel and Cabbage Key, etc. a short boat ride away! The dock is a shared dock. Occasionally, I have guests from other cottages that may need dockage. These guests are asked to load and unload only.

I have several properties all located next to one another for family or friends to vacation together yet have their own space.

All properties have WIFI, locals channels and ROKU.

A lovely cottage

We enjoyed our stay very much. We knew the area very well and we're sorry to see that Captain Con restaurant had been destroyed by a hurricane. But enjoyed the Lazy Flamingo and loved Tarpon Lodge, as always. I went kayaking at Carmen's Kayaks. They were super helpful. Darlene, our host, was great. She was always available.

Wonderful Stay!

We loved our stay here! Quaint, clean and a great location. Walking distance to Jug Creek Marina where there is live music until 8pm every day. There is also a bike path that runs the entire length of the island and easily accessible from the home. Check in was super simple and the host replied quickly to any questions and was very gracious. Fast access to the water if you have a boat. We will definitely be back!

Coziest Little Cottage!!

My husband and I couldn’t have been more pleased with The Waterside Cottage! It exceeded our expectations and Darlene was the perfect host…made the entire process easy and was always responsive to questions, etc. The cottage was spotless and well stocked. We boated over from the East Coast of Florida and it was so condiment having the boat docked right out back. The cottage was so comfortable with such a great vibe we turned down dinner invites to grill and stay at the Cottage. We will definitely return!

Special spot in secluded paradise!

This tiny house was exactly what my husband and I needed to celebrate a special anniversary. It’s rare for us to get a full weekend away, just the two of us, sans kiddos. We brought our 24 foot boat and had plenty of space to keep it at the dock and had ample space for our trailer. The neighborhood boat launch was also a major bonus. This sweet house is well-equipped and provides access to some of the state’s most beautiful beaches, perfect for island hopping and shelling. Thanks for the great stay and the wonderful memories!

Amazing Cottage!

This awesome little cottage was wonderfully deceptive! It looks small as you pull up, but then you walk in to vaulted ceilings, and modern amenities - while still maintaining that gorgeous nautical feel! Little things like hidden ledge lighting, the bathroom floor's artistic and surprising material, and the gorgeous "propeller" ceiling fan, are just the cherry on top of such a wonderful, modern cottage! We loved it so much, my wife said on multiple occasions, said: "I'd live here!!!" Quick and thoroughly helpful communication with the proprieter, Darlene, helped make this brief get-a-way, way too short!!! #LovedThisPlace!!!

We had nice time in Bokeelia meeting up with some friends for a long weekend. The cottage is exactly as pictured. The kitchen was well stocked and we found we had everything we needed. The towels and linens were of nice quality which is appreciated. We had fun kayaking and fishing. My husband caught a few snapper right off the dock. The cafe lights out back made for a nice spot down by the water for a night cap.

Cozy cottage

The waterside cottage is a jewel! It’s immaculately clean and superbly decorated. There’s a very nice boat launch a few blocks away, if you are a boater. You can also dock your boat in the backyard canal. We give this property an A+. I would highly recommend this property for a anyone wanting to get away and relax.

Florida adventure 2022!

The Waterside Cottage and Pine Island is a Florida hidden gem! Upon entering the cottage we were in awe by all the thought put into the little touches to make this a destination memory. Waterside Cottage is even more beautiful than the pictures display. Darlene has done an excellent job of restoring and furnishing this vacation home. The cottage was well maintained and super clean. The living/dining area was tastefully and uniquely decorated. Well stocked kitchen with everything one would need. The bed was super comfy and the bathroom and shower were so unique. We loved the nickel flooring and lost count of how many nickels it took to complete that project! Watching the sunrise while enjoying our coffee on the back dock was a treat, especially when the resident manatee floated by. Wish we had morning doves in Washington, so peaceful to listen to. And those pelicans!! So fun to watch as they followed the fishing boats in the canal. The sunsets from the Bokeelia Pier were incredibly awesome! The pier is just a short venture from the cottage and worth the drive. Midnight star gazing from the dock is another plus! Exploring Pine Island was so peaceful. A very relaxing and laid back feeling. And oh my, Matlacha!! So fun!! Darlene was a delight to work with and an amazing host! A very kind and responsive owner. I only wish is that we could have stayed longer. Hopefully we can return again soon

Everything We Needed and More!

Darlene - highly responsive to all correspondence and requests. Savvy, loves her place in all the best ways. Cabin - pristine, bright, well-equipped (especially appreciated W/D unit, toaster, deck out back 10 steps from canal), calming, private. I slept on the sofa (2 nights) - admittedly a little bit of a trick since it's not a sofa-bed, but great recliner :) for an average-sized female. Surrounding area - perfectly quaint; great for folks seeking a glimpse into a bygone time. Loved kayaking (Carmen's Kayaks accommodated us on the fly and were sensitive to our unique needs); unbelievably good breakfast at Nick B's; WynDixie - impressive for such a small island; Learning about the Calusa (spelling?) Indians - humbling; Vietnamese restaurant in Matlacha - great take-out. We probably should have taken the ferry over to ritzy islands, but I couldn't make myself leave Pine Key. Maybe next time. December is a great time to visit this area. No bugs. No heat.

This property was adorable! My husband and I had such a peaceful retreat! The cottage was impeccably clean, and Darlene, our hostess, was so easy to communicate with. We enjoyed sitting outside on the canal with our morning coffee, throwing a line in for Mangrove Snapper and Snook. The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet, but also close to anything you'd dream of doing. We were so grateful for such a restorative weekend here!! We can't wait to come back again!
