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!
House is very nice. We have gone her multiple times and is perfect for boating and fishing. There is a covered hoist. Location is perfect for getting to the big water and beaches in the sound. Bring your boat!
This place was everything we were looking for. Quiet, relaxing week on the water. The 2 boat lifts made boating a cinch! Patricia was wonderful. Highly recommend!
Very nice newly renovated home with covered boat dock set up that worked great for our 22 ft boat, also outstanding location to get to open water! Home had all that we needed for a nice 3 day fishing trip. Laura was super responsive and flexible, ready to go back!
We absolutely loved our time at the St James City house! We brought our boat which was safely stored on one of the two boat lifts each evening. We fished, went to Capriva and Sanabel Beaches, went to Cayo Costa. It was a great week. The house had everything we needed and was very clean. Weâll be back!
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!
The home was clean, living space was nice,it was not 3bed, 2bath 2nd bath was a converted closet with no privacy Location is great and loved the covered lift, but we had requested 2 wks prior to check in at 1,when we arrived cleaning lady still was there, we were given a code for garage key pad which never worked, nor did the remotes for doors, there was no offer for anyone to come to see if it could be fixed. We managed ok but would probably not rent again
Location of house is great. Boat docks are great but unfortunately we werenât able to bring a boat. We were able to take a fishing trip with a guide and he was able to pick us up at the house by boat. Able to clean fish on the dock and grill out on the like new gas grill. Unlimited fishing from the dock just off the back deck/patio, plus enjoyed watching the Manatee family everyday. Kitchen very well equipped. Washing machine broken during our stay, but owner made arrangement to have it fixed. Laundry mat, Winn Dixie and CVS about 8 miles away. Great end of the island for bike riding.
The place is excellent, with a dock in the back, where we had our jet ski in the water all weekend. There was great fishing, and we are planning to come back.
Everything as was pictured and listed! The property manager was super helpful and so easy and nice to talk to at all hours! Would highly recommend and stay again
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 spotsâredfish pass in North Captiva, Sanibel Bridge, and Blind pass. We caught grouper and snook. By boat, you are one canal away from Phuzzyâs 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. Laundryâclean 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
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.
We lived on 8th Ave. for 15 years love the Island and do lots of fishing in Pine Island Sound and the gulf, but we do go to Boca Grands pass for tarpon fishing have caught 6 tarpon what a thrilling experience. Hope you come down and experience the thrill yourself.
