About this property

Pine island - Weeki Wachee Ocean View Home- Walk to Beach on secluded island

Welcome to your dream getaway on Florida’s Nature Coast — a stunning, custom-designed island home just steps from the Gulf of Mexico. Located in Pine Island, Weeki Wachee (Hernando County), this spacious 3-level stilt home blends coastal elegance with the warmth of a true beach escape.

From the moment you walk in, you’ll be surrounded by beautiful cherry wood floors, elegant oak furnishings, and an inviting open-concept layout filled with natural light and breathtaking views. With over 3,600 square feet under roof, this home was built for comfort, entertaining, and relaxation.

The enormous master suite is a private oasis with his-and-hers full bathrooms, a large walk-in closet, cozy sitting/TV area, and French doors that open to a wraparound deck — where you’ll experience some of the most stunning sunsets Florida has to offer. Two additional bedrooms provide beautiful island views, including one with its own private balcony overlooking the water.

On the main level, enjoy gathering in the fully equipped kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances, custom wood cabinetry, Corian countertops, and a central island perfect for preparing meals together. Unwind in the living area with a full wall of custom bookcases, play a few rounds of pool on the brand-new table, or mix a drink at the Pulaski marble bar with a unique Mexican-tiled wet sink.

Step outside to expansive wraparound decks on both upper levels, perfect for soaking in the ocean breeze, sipping your morning coffee, or enjoying a glass of wine as the sky turns to fire at sunset.

Highlights:
• Unmatched ocean and island views
• Flat-screen TVs, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a wide selection of books
• Private access to the beach just down the road — ideal for little ones thanks to shallow waters
• Plenty of parking, including space for a boat
• New storage shed, hurricane-resistant doors/windows, and high-end fixtures throughout

🛑 Please Note: This home is located in Pine Island, Weeki Wachee (Hernando County) — not Pine Island near Fort Myers (Lee County). The house is a few feet from the water’s edge, with one home between you and the shore, and you’ll enjoy private beach access at the end of the road. Pine Island waters are shallow and perfect for families, with deeper swimming areas available at the nearby public park. This is a multi-level home with several stairs, so please plan accordingly.

🎣 Seasonal Highlights:
• May & June: Prime Tarpon Fishing Season
• July & August: Celebrate Scallop Season on the Gulf!

Whether you’re planning a family beach trip, a romantic coastal escape, or a seasonal fishing adventure, this one-of-a-kind island home offers the space, style, and scenery to make your stay unforgettable.

Convenient dolphin watching

Great home positioned in a secluded area with an easy walk to a nice beach with palm trees where we saw dolphins every day. Nicely equipped kitchen, baths, and bedrooms. Plenty of beach towels and the beach chairs were new when we arrived. This was our spring break trip with our high school daughter and we had a very nice and relaxing visit. Leading up to our stay, the beach had been closed from a major storm but the owner kept us updated with the status for reopening. Thankfully it reopened just in time and was the best place to watch dolphins swim by just feet from shore.

Hidden Gem

Fantastic home separated from the beach by one house. Watched dolphins swim every day. This was our 2nd vacation to Pine Island and we love it here. It was especially quiet since the public beach had not reopened. We will be back. Well maintained property, neighbors are very friendly and polite.

We absolutely loved this property. We loved the beach, the water, the county beach just a short walk away, the spacious rooms and the wonderful sunset view from the upper balcony. The owners were very responsive and everyone we met was very nice. We have already booked a return trip. Can’t say enough good things about this property.

Great home. Great location.

This is a Wonderful home in a relaxing location and our second time staying here. The first floor is open concept and a great place to just hang out. We love the quiet neighborhood and nearby beach. Everything is as described and the owners are responsive and easy to work with. Kayaking on the various springs is also a great time. Our favorite restaurant is Bryans Place. We fully recommend this property.

Pine Island Stay

We really enjoyed our stay at this Pine Island gem. The house was beautiful - far exceeded our expectations for a vacation stay. Very comfortable, upscale, and even had some toys/books for my toddler and a pack-n-play for our infant. The private beach at the end of the lane is also gorgeous - clear water with lots of fun for the kids to poke around in the water or adults to enjoy a beautiful, secluded sunset. The area was more "out there" than we anticipated but we ended up really liking the seclusion and vibe - definitely different than many places in Florida.

Kayaking Florida

The Island House is an amazing property with beautiful views of the gulf especially at sunset! It is spacious and offers multiple areas to sit and make plans for the next day of adventures! There are 4 full bathrooms with walk in showers which was wonderful as we were all able to shower at the same time and not run out of hot water. That’s a really big deal for a group of adults that have been on the river kayaking all day. The host was very informative and provided all the information we needed for getting around including great restaurants and places to launch our kayaks. If we ever get back this way again we will most definitely book this property again!

Pine Island with Magnificent Sunset Views

This VRBO on Pine Island was perfect for our stay with friends. Laura was very responsive to our questions. We found the house very clean, with a well-stocked kitchen. Every evening we watched the sunset from the top-floor balcony. Pine Island feels secluded, yet it is only a fifteen-minute drive to restaurants and shopping. The park, at the end of the island, is a ten-minute walk and perfect for a beach day. Willie’s beach grill is located in the park and serves excellent food.

Great House , But very shallow water

The house is very good and great at all levels. well-equipped and maintained. The location is not that great. Driving 10 hours from Knoxville TN, assuming that we have a good beach. But the beach was very unpleasant. very shallow water and you do not even get the open beach wend or sound that you would expect for that close to water location. It could be good for young kids but definitely not a typical Tampa beach. The house is very nice though.

A peaceful stay

The family and I spent a couple of nights over the holidays at the house. We were in town to visit an elderly relative who lives in a rest home in nearby Spring Hill. The house served us perfectly well. The place was clean. The kitchen and laundry were well provisioned. All the appliances worked properly except for the in-the-door ice maker. The house itself lies in a quiet residential neighborhood on Pine Island. The county park at the end of the cul-de-sac was closed on account of the storms that walloped the area, which further reduced car traffic. From the captain’s chairs on the top deck we could watch the tide roll in and out and the sun set over the Gulf of Mexico. Groceries from the local Publix are a couple of minutes away for people who want to prepare their own meals. Restaurants of all stripes are nearby and plentiful along Cortez Boulevard. The house would serve well for a family of four to eight people who need a home base with a view near Spring Hill and Weeki Wachee.

Nice Break in February

We are 4 adults 60 +. We enjoyed our stay at Pine Island. Very clean and comfortable beds and furniture. Appreciated having enough paper goods to last 2 weeks. TP, paper towels trash bags dish soap. A gas grill with plenty of gas. Spices and cooking supplies. I guess we took our own bar soap and shampoos. Plenty of bathrooms and nice showers. Wifi was good. The view outside the master bedroom was very nice. Sat out in the mornings and some evenings. It would be perfect up there with a high top table and chairs. The stairs didn’t bother us. The car didn’t sit out because you could pull under the house. We were nervous about the beach because that is what we do. The beach near the house was convenient. The water was super shallow. The tide varies a lot so some days we had to move pretty far back on the sand and it isn’t real wide to begin with. After a few days we chose to sit up on the sea wall with our chairs. You are still basically right on the water. We never saw more than a half dozen people, so that was nice. We like to read, nap, and listen to music. If you are looking for quiet this is a good spot. No traffic, no street noise. You won’t walk to eating places but it isn’t very far to find plenty. Maybe 6 miles Best breakfast at the Silver Dolphin.

Why they chose this property

What truly sets our home apart is the experience — it’s not just a place to stay, it’s a place to remember. Nestled in the heart of Pine Island, our property offers a rare blend of peaceful seclusion and effortless access to nature. You’re just minutes from the Gulf, but feel worlds away from the crowds.

We’ve designed the space to feel like your personal retreat — cozy, clean, and full of character. Whether it’s lounging on the breezy screened porch, grilling fresh-caught fish in the backyard, or kayaking from nearby launch points, there’s something here for every kind of traveler. The sunsets? Pure magic. The local wildlife? Unforgettable. And the stargazing on clear nights? Absolutely stunning.

Our guests often tell us they come for the water and sun — but return for the calm, the comfort, and the memories made around the dinner table, in the hammock, or on the sand with toes in the water.

It’s more than a vacation rental — it’s your slice of old Florida paradise.

What makes this property unique

Our home is the kind of place that invites you to kick off your shoes, breathe in the salty air, and truly unwind. Set in the peaceful coastal community of Pine Island, our property combines breezy beach style with all the comforts of home — the kind of laid-back charm that makes you want to stay just a little longer.

What truly sets us apart are the breathtaking views. Whether you’re sipping your morning coffee on the porch or watching the sky melt into color at sunset, the scenery is unforgettable. With water, palm trees, and endless sky as your backdrop, it feels like a postcard come to life. It’s a front-row seat to Florida’s natural beauty — and the perfect spot to relax, reflect, and reconnect.

You’re close enough to explore Pine Island Beach and Weeki Wachee Springs, yet far enough to enjoy the calm and quiet of your own private retreat. Our home is light, bright, and thoughtfully styled with coastal touches — think driftwood accents, soft blues and whites, and cozy corners to unwind after a day in the sun.

Whether you’re here for kayaking adventures, a romantic weekend, or a family beach getaway, this is the kind of place that lingers in your memory. Peaceful, picturesque, and full of heart.

This isn’t just a place to sleep — it’s a place to exhale.
