Beautiful Waterfront Ideal for fishing and boating!!

This is a fisherman;s paradise with a boat lift, and you are only minutes from the waters of Pine Island Sound. This area is know for some of the best fishing for snook, redfish, trout, grouper, snapper pompano, cabia and more. Make your way to the north past Sanibel, Captiva and Cayo Costa to the waters around Boca Grande Pass, and find the largest tarpon population in the world. After all of that wears you out, why not just relax and fish the sandy flats and mangroves always just minutes away. There are also fishing charter services available nearby.

Cayo Costa State Park and Sanibel Island have some of the most beautiful beaches on the West Coast of Florida. Lets not forget to mention some of most gorgeous sunsets in the world. Local musicians can be found almost every night of the week playing at many of the excellent local restaurants and bars on the island. This whole area gives you the laid back feeling of 'Old Florida' so that everything you do can be on 'Island Time'. No stop lights or fast food here.

Kavaking is wonderful here also, and kayak rentals are available. Bicycle rentals are also close by with great bike paths the length of the island. This well kept canal front home you will be enjoying has everything you need, with an open floor plan living and dining area, and a large sun room screened in area. Nice view of the canal thru large windows and glass sliding doors along the canal side of home. Out there is a new gas grille and a fish cleaning station over at the boat lift. If you have a boat, bring it along and use the boat lift, and there is room on the property to park you boat trailer. The home is also
pet-friendly

Long Weekend Getaway!

We spend a great time on the water over the 4th of July weekend. Our family lives in the area so we were able to meet up with them and have a great time together. Home was located in a beautiful area with easy access to boating, swimming and fishing!

Nicely Done.

We stayed here in St. James City for 3 weeks. The home was large enough for us and our small pets. It is on a canal leading directly to Pine Island Sound in about 5 minutes. Has most everything you need for a comfortable stay with comfortable furnishings. Bring a boat or rent one from Monroe Canal Marina. We knew the fishing grounds and caught Sea Trout, Sheepshead, Ladyfish, Mangrove Snapper along with some other multi species running the area. Quiet neighborhood. Expect some construction to homes and businesses from Hurricane Ian. Hosts are easy to communicate with and accommodated anything we asked for. Would love to return!

Great fishing house

If you like to fish/stay right in the water, this is the house for you! Ample dock space to fish from, or pull your boat into. The Covered dock and boat lift is awesome. We brought our boat and launched at very nearby Monroe Canal Marina. We drove the boat to several close by awesome fishing spots—redfish pass in North Captiva, Sanibel Bridge, and Blind pass. We caught grouper and snook. By boat, you are one canal away from Phuzzy’s Boat Shack restaurant also Lighthouse restaurant at Port Sanibel Marina and Grandma Dots, all great restaurants by boat ! Fully stocked kitchen, clean home and lots of outdoor seating to have the great water view when drinking coffee in the morning. Very quiet peaceful neighborhood. Laundry—clean washer and dryer. A/C worked well, just make sure you have sun room porch door closed (push close all way to right). Great for locals for a fishing stay-cation as well as those out of town. Will recommend to friends

Nice getaway

The property itself was nice. Quiet neighborhood on the canal. The kitchen was nice and nicely equipped with everything you might need. The sunroom was a nice relaxing place to eat. The decor was not to my taste (out of date) However, I was not there for the decor. The only negative that I would say was: If you are a TV person (which we are), the channel selection was awful, like 7 or 8 off the wall channels. I would recommend the owner invest in a better TV/cable choice/package with more channels. If you have children, there won't be a lot of choice. Overall, a nice place to stay though. We really enjoyed it overall.

Perfect for a fishing trip get away

The house was very clean. We came with a boat. The boat lift was perfect for our 22ft bay boat. It took a bit for the A/C to cool the house. Other than that it was a wonderful stay.

Stopover en route to Keys

We stopped for two nights on our journey to the Keys, to rendezvous with two more adult members of the family The location is ideal for fishermen towing boats and kayaks, parking is easy and generous. The canal in back is a delight to look at and easy to use for fishing. Inside was clean and comfortable with a large well-provisioned kitchen and plenty of seating to lounge in. The main bathroom is a Jack and Jill between the two bedrooms so must be shared for showering, and there is a separate half bath off the rear of the house. We had a lovely stay and would use the house again, we have been visitors to Pine Island since the 80’s and really like the area.

Location/Home Update

This was a good location for boating and fishing. The home needs some serious updating and it's disappointing not to have a pool in the community. You have to drive 15 minutes away to a city pool, pay a fee and it's closed on Sunday. The cable TV only gets a few channels. Breaker tripped when we used the stove, microwave and coffee maker all at the same time, not a electrician but I'm sure this is not good. The master shower door barely closed due to rust build up and corrosion in the track. Just needs to TLC and it would be a better home to stay in.
