Small but nice

The cottage was great. The owner was very attentive. The only drawback is the boat dock being across the street. The road was very busy due to the Tiki Bar at the far end. Overall it was a great place. We plan to book again at the sister property across the street.

We had a relaxing week at Darlene’s cottage. It was a great place, clean and well equipped and an awesome location, near the canal. The bed is comfortable, living area is spacious, kitchen is remodeled. Nice to come home to this cute place after our adventurous days.

All we can say is wow! This was such a pleasant stay. From the welcoming hospitality to the zen house vibes, and everything you could possibly need. This place was right up our alley! We loved this little cottage, the golf cart, brand new kayaks, bikes and a cozy little screened in porch to relax out back and breathe in the fresh island air. Thanks for providing us with a great stay! We will definitely be in touch next year! Cheers!

Peace and Quiet

When friends and family asked “where are you staying in Florida,” we answered, on Pine Island. “Where is that?” was the frequent response. THAT was the reason we chose this location! The Quarterdeck was very comfortable, very well decorated (to our liking) and certainly made us feel welcome and at home. We LOVED the serenity of the island which allowed us to do as much as we desired, or to do nothing at all. Darlene was a great host—incredibly responsive to any of our questions! We would surely return to this area and this house as we are neither fans of high rises nor crowded streets and restaurants. All the “locals” we met were very friendly and genuine—we had some great conversations with all of these folks. Be sure to feed the large tortoise which lives in Darlene’s yard and say hello to “Uno” the injured dolphin which lives in the marina at the end of the street. I could easily go on and on about this house and this area but you will have to discover all that on your own—safe travels!

A terrific place and location for fishing!

What a find! Highly recommend. Great location, very well-appointed, clean and comfortable place with everything you need. I planned this trip very last minute and Darlene was available immediately to answer several questions I had about bringing a boat. The place easily accommodated truck and trailer and another car. We also has access to her dock across the street at NO extra charge which was about as convenient as it gets to hop on and off easily. There is also a VERY nice boat ramp around the corner called Lavender’s Landing. You literally can not be in a better spot to reach great fishing. Boca Grande Pass, Captiva, Pine Island Sound, etc. Thank you Darlene, it was a wonderful stay. We will definitely return!!
