Awesome Stay

This place is awesome for a vacation spot. We enjoyed the pool and the 2 king suites were a hugh plus for us on this property. Pool is a relaxing place and we enjoyed in the Florida heat. We brought our 25’ boat and docked it and worked out great.

Island paradice. Perfectly done

We brought our 10 year old grandson which spent 90 percent of his time in the pool. Morning coffee next to the canal sitting under the tiki hut on the dock. Smart use of the entire space and nicely done. Wondering island feel. Warm and inviting. Nice place to entertain.

Great Property

We really enjoyed our stay. The layout of the house was nice. It had 2 master bedrooms. And another bedroom with 2 queen size beds. All of the beds were very comfortable. We spent most of our time outdoors by the pool or on our boat. Easy access to the open water. Pine Island bait and tackle shop was close by, so no driving too far to get bait.

Best part of this is house was the outdoors. As far as complaints go and we contacted host immediately about these issues and only one of four things were addressed. German roaches were coming out of the dishwasher area and they sent someone out to spray and they only sprayed that area, later that evening one was found in a room. Thermostat is controlled by someone else cause every night it and throughout the day it would adjust back to 85 degrees, plumbing fixtures throughout house are loose and several leaks under sinks. Grills were not cleaned when we arrived and trash/recycling cans were full. Front door knob was barely attached to door, yard was not maintained at all, dock boards need maintenance, pool deck has weeds popping up everywhere. You have to use a phone to operate hot tub jets and heat as well as lighting in the pool. Charger was not charging phone so I bought a charger hoping to be reimbursed. Plenty of boat docking, cannot use lift as there was a boat on it. Also watch out for cameras on the property one was found in a bush out by tiki hut, one over looking boat lift and ring camera.

Great Home, Great Location, Perfect for Big Families

Great home, older, but well kept with quirky decor. Perfect for our large group of 4 couples. Beds were comfortable & AC was cold. Home was fully stocked with everything you could need. Plenty of towels for bathing & the pool. Pool area was great, very spacious & perfect after a day of boating. While the boat lift is unavailable to guests there is plenty of dock space. We were able to fit 2 22ft boats & at one point in time a friend of ours came to visit and brought his 32 foot boat, we simply tied one boat to the other & had more than enough room for the 32 foot boat to squeeze in. The driveway is a circular driveway & we were able to fit 2 full size pick up trucks, including trailers & one SUV in the driveway with no issues. The public boat ramp is about a five minute boat ride up the canal just a few houses down and you are in open water within 10 minutes. It’s truly a great location and we’ll definitely be back. Things to note, Publix and Winn Dixie are a little far, just hit them on the way in. You have more than enough pilings to tie your boat upto but no cleats. While the home sleeps 8 comfortably there is no large dining table to enjoy dinners together that is AC’d. The only large table they had was in the enclosed porch that area does not have AC, this home would be absolutely perfect if it did especially for summer travelers. Also, the management company is amazing, responsive, and wonderful to work with. Check in and check was a breeze!

Gulf "Beach" Gateway

The house was spacious and comfortable with a relaxed easy going atmosphere (except for the pool/hot tub area camera), We loved the de*cor... nice pool, hot tub, tiki hut and outside seating with bar. Easy short five minute access to the Bay and a short boat ride to the Gulf via the canal right off the homes dock. We brought our boat and enjoyed both the house and it's amazing access to the remote beaches on the gulf side of Cayo Costa, Captiva and Sanibel Island. We would definitely recommend this rental and will come back again.

Great location, great home, great amenities.

The boat lift was a great perk to the property, the back yard was getting a pool built during our stay but we would love to revisit after it’s finished it would be perfect afterwards. Overall a great place to visit or vacation.
