Island TreeTop House, Pet friendly

Lovely cozy 2bed 1bath secluded house in quiet neighborhood. My home is very clean and uncluttered. Great for Two or three people
House is 10 ft off the ground with relaxing tree top views from every window in the house. 10 acres protected land adjacent to property , and neighborhood boat and kayak launch one block from house. I have two kayaks and 2 bikes; guests are welcome to use. Lots of birds to watch, bring your binoculars. A leisurely walk to small cove beach, one block from house. Plenty of parking under the house.

Pine Island Community Pool, tennis courts and Library at the center of Island. (4 miles). Lots of privately owned restaurants on the island. Good food casual wear. Live music at area restaurants and pubs. My favorite restaurants are in The Perfect Cup, The BlueDog , Micali’s, in Bokeelia Captain Con’s Ilike the TacoTruck at the center, and several down in St James city. A Beaches are plentiful within a 60 to 90 minute drive. Ft myers beach, Sanibel beach, North Captiva beach is my favorite there is a water taxi from Pine island to north Captiva. Wonderful outing.

We loved our stay!

We really enjoyed our time here. The house is in a great location with plenty of privacy. We had a lot of fun using the kayaks, and the closeness of the put-in was great. Well stocked with everything we needed - even a stacked washer/dryer. Has a homey feel as another reviewer said. There is a grocery store nearby and a good amount of restaurants around. We would both highly recommend a stay here.

Excellent, quiet, all that was promised

The home was clean and secluded in a quiet neighborhood ... just what we wanted. Plenty of towels, kitchen accessories, paper goods, afghans; WiFi, TV stations, books. Outdoor seating and burn pit, nice deck and landscaping. Owner available for questions and made recommendations in the area. Toured the entire island, plenty of places to eat if staying on Pine Island. Wishes for a full economic recovery - everyone's spirits seem strong.

Clean and Accommodating

My husband and I enjoyed our stay and the house was VERY clean. Just about everything we needed was provided…linens, laundry detergent, dish soap, vacuum, variety of comfortable pillows, tissues, and even bottled water. The house has a great outside area upstairs to relax at and nice sofas inside, nice kitchen area, and very nice bedrooms…so overal a nice, clean and relaxing house to stay at. Nice clean bathroom also. There are two bedrooms but only one has a tv…but there is a tv in the living room downstairs. The only reason why I gave it four stars is because the lighting outside is not sufficient at night…especially having to climb high stairs to get to the house. If older not a good place to stay because of that. Also inside there are a few stairs that could use a railing to hold on to…especially when older. Otherwise we truly loved our stay…very quiet and relaxing if you are not into too fancy of a place and more into a rugged cabin feel. The beach that is listed is more of a park area by the water…not much of a beach if you are into suntanning. The property manager was great…very friendly and helpful and accommodating. Not sure if we would choose to stay there again ONLY because my husband and I are older and the stairs made it difficult for us. But if you don’t mind stairs, don’t mind it being pitch dark at night, and are not into fancy stuff…it definitely could be the place for you…because everything else was VERY nice and accommodating!

easy like Sunday morning

yard was big enough for the puppies to stretch their legs and the location felt secluded but still felt safe with neighbors near. Enjoyed the whispering pines when the breeze would blow.

Exactly as listed!

We weren't looking for a typical beach vacation. We wanted to be in a quiet environment with options for being active. This was perfect for the two of us. We could walk to see the sunrise over the water, bike, explore nature preserves, rent kayaks, fish (but we didn’t) and eat at wonderful restaurants. We loved sitting on the deck in the morning and on the swing later in the day. Walking the neighborhood was great and everyone was very friendly. The accommodations were just as listed and we weren’t lacking for anything. Comfy bed, cozy kitchen living area, all well maintained. Our host was so accommodating! We agree with all the recommendations from food, to activities. This place is a gem!
