Waterfront Gulf-Access Getaway with Private Dock & Boat Lift

Bring your boat, fishing rods, and flip-flops!

Escape to the laid-back island lifestyle in beautiful St. James City on Pine Island. This fully remodeled 2-bedroom, 2-bath waterfront vacation home offers direct Gulf access, a private dock and boat lift, comfortable accommodations for up to 6 guests, and everything you need for a relaxing Southwest Florida getaway.

🚤 Bring Your Boat

Boaters will love having a private dock and boat lift right behind the house. Spend the day exploring the waters surrounding Pine Island, Sanibel, Captiva, Cayo Costa, and the Gulf of Mexico, then come home and have your boat waiting just steps from the house.

No hauling your gear back and forth to a marina—your Southwest Florida boating adventure starts right in the backyard.

🎣 Fish Right From the Dock

You don’t even have to leave the property to enjoy some of Southwest Florida’s incredible fishing.

Grab a rod and fish directly from the dock for snook, redfish, snapper, tarpon, and other local species. Relax by the water in the morning with a cup of coffee or unwind in the evening while watching for dolphins and manatees cruising through the canal.

🏡 Fully Remodeled & Comfortable

After a day on the water, come back to a clean, updated home designed for an easy and comfortable vacation.

The home features 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, a comfortable living area, full kitchen, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, washer and dryer, and sleeping accommodations for up to 6 guests.

Whether you’re visiting for a fishing trip, boating vacation, family getaway, or simply looking to escape the cold and enjoy Florida sunshine, you’ll have everything you need to settle in and relax.

🐾 Pet Friendly

We know vacations are better when you can bring your four-legged family member. The home is dog friendly, so you don’t necessarily have to leave your best friend behind.

♿ Accessibility

The property also features a wheelchair/elevator lift, making access easier for guests who may have difficulty with stairs—a valuable feature for couples, families, and multigenerational vacations.

🌴 Experience Pine Island Like a Local

St. James City offers a completely different Southwest Florida experience from crowded resorts and high-rise condos. Here you’ll find a relaxed island atmosphere, waterfront restaurants, incredible fishing and boating, and easy access to some of the area’s most beautiful waterways and islands.

Spend your days boating, fishing, exploring nearby islands, enjoying local seafood, or simply relaxing by the water.

If you’re looking for a waterfront Southwest Florida vacation where you can bring your boat, fish from your own dock, bring your dog, and enjoy the laid-back Pine Island lifestyle, you’ve found it.

Book your stay and start planning your St. James City getaway!

This is a nice house on a quiet street. It is very clean and freshly updated. Plenty of towels and hot water with good pressure. The kitchen is adequately equipped. The boat dock is sturdy and fairly new. It is nice to have a car port. The washer / dryer is located in the out shed and they appear new. There are fans in every room and the AC works great.
