This property is convenient to a number of other local attractions including Galt Preserve with its winding nature trails, Jug Creek Marina with its resident dolphin, and the Museum of the Islands as well as nearby great restaurants, coffee and food trucks, and marine and fishing stores.

Step outside into your screened and furnished lanai and watch boats pass by on the water or take a few steps down onto your private dock where you can drop in in one of the provided kayaks or the canoe for a paddle along Long Cut Preserve with kayak trails and hidden lagoons. You can watch manatees and dolphins play by day and marine life attracted to underwater dock light by night.

Home on a canal

This home was immaculate upon our arrival and everything was comfy. The kitchen is well stocked with the tools needed to make a meal. My husband was able to fish in the afternoons from the dock. We would 100% stay here again. dock.

Paradise Found

We stayed after Christmas at Lavender Life in Saint James City. We loved this area. Not your typical strip mall Florida. It is a beautiful island with tons of restaurant and bar options, but no chain restaurants. There isn’t even a traffic light on the island. We loved getting in the provided kayaks and exploring the mangrove trails, hidden lagoons and wildlife. The fishing gear for guests was a big plus. I even caught a few small fish that were hanging around the fish light. We traveled for the first time with our infant. Having a porta crib was helpful for us. The house is brand new and had everything that we needed. They provided spices and grilling supplies as well as coffee, tea, toiletries, laundry and dishwasher pods. This was the relaxing getaway we needed. We plan to come back with our boat to take advantage of the dock and explore Pine Island Sound and the Gulf.
