Fabulous Location For Fishing and Relaxing

My husband and adult sons were looking for a place to stay for a long weekend to do some fishing and relaxing.. They looked at places on the Keys but ultimately chose this house because of its location right on the water with a dock to keep a rented boat. They also have so many fond memories of vacationing many times in Captiva growing up and this locatiom would allow them to take their boat to Cabbage Key for lunch - a family favorite activity. This house definitely delivered on all accounts. It was very clean and perfect for three people. Everything very well maintained and communication with Ron the owner was seamless. The location is very peaceful and they loved the little town of Bokeelia for its cute and colorful restsurants and shops. Would highly recommend.

An amazing week

The stay at this property couldn't have been better. It was exactly as advertised, very quiet neighborhood, extremely well-appointed kitchen and very comfortable. The Host was extremely quick to respond to any communication, with thoughtful and helpful responses. We hope to return Pine Island, and this will be the first place we will consider for our home away from home.

Wonderful vacation home!

We spent 4 nights for our spring break trip with our boys (14 and 17). Wish we would have had more time. We had a ball and the house and property are wonderful. The kayak made it so fun for the boys. Lots of fishing off the dock. We rented a boat for a few days and tied it to the dock. It was a great way to see the local beaches and dockside restaurants. Ron was a wonderful host and more than accessible. He answered every question within 20-30 minutes. Highly recommend this rental!
