About this property
The Salty Anchor - St. James City
The Salty Anchor was created as a place to slow down. Spend your days exploring Pine Island and the surrounding waters, with access to a community boat ramp for boating, fishing, or sunset cruises, then return to unwind. This retreat reflects the Old Florida spirit of St. James City—where boats outnumber stoplights, neighbors wave, and flip-flops are always acceptable attire. Golf cart usage is available for an additional fee.
Welcome to island time. Stay salty.
