About this property

Beautiful Waterfront Ideal for fishing and boating!!

This is a fisherman;s paradise with a boat lift, and you are only minutes from the waters of Pine Island Sound. This area is know for some of the best fishing for snook, redfish, trout, grouper, snapper pompano, cabia and more. Make your way to the north past Sanibel, Captiva and Cayo Costa to the waters around Boca Grande Pass, and find the largest tarpon population in the world. After all of that wears you out, why not just relax and fish the sandy flats and mangroves always just minutes away. There are also fishing charter services available nearby.

Cayo Costa State Park and Sanibel Island have some of the most beautiful beaches on the West Coast of Florida. Lets not forget to mention some of most gorgeous sunsets in the world. Local musicians can be found almost every night of the week playing at many of the excellent local restaurants and bars on the island. This whole area gives you the laid back feeling of 'Old Florida' so that everything you do can be on 'Island Time'. No stop lights or fast food here.

Kavaking is wonderful here also, and kayak rentals are available. Bicycle rentals are also close by with great bike paths the length of the island. This well kept canal front home you will be enjoying has everything you need, with an open floor plan living and dining area, and a large sun room screened in area. Nice view of the canal thru large windows and glass sliding doors along the canal side of home. Out there is a new gas grille and a fish cleaning station over at the boat lift. If you have a boat, bring it along and use the boat lift, and there is room on the property to park you boat trailer. The home is also

Perfect for a week of family boating!

We absolutely loved our time at the St James City house! We brought our boat which was safely stored on one of the two boat lifts each evening. We fished, went to Capriva and Sanabel Beaches, went to Cayo Costa. It was a great week. The house had everything we needed and was very clean. We’ll be back!

short distance to the bay and off shore

We love to fish and this place is just a couple of minutes to the Pine Island sounds. A few more minutes through red fish pass and you will be in the Gulf. My husband and I caught nice trout and plenty of Grouper and Snapper keepers. The manatees and dolphins at your back door. There are plenty of restaurants to choose from. Ms. Pat makes sure everything is running good. Hope I get a chance to come back next year.

Great neighborhood

The home was clean, living space was nice,it was not 3bed, 2bath 2nd bath was a converted closet with no privacy Location is great and loved the covered lift, but we had requested 2 wks prior to check in at 1,when we arrived cleaning lady still was there, we were given a code for garage key pad which never worked, nor did the remotes for doors, there was no offer for anyone to come to see if it could be fixed. We managed ok but would probably not rent again

Relaxing Vacation on Pine Island

Location of house is great. Boat docks are great but unfortunately we weren’t able to bring a boat. We were able to take a fishing trip with a guide and he was able to pick us up at the house by boat. Able to clean fish on the dock and grill out on the like new gas grill. Unlimited fishing from the dock just off the back deck/patio, plus enjoyed watching the Manatee family everyday. Kitchen very well equipped. Washing machine broken during our stay, but owner made arrangement to have it fixed. Laundry mat, Winn Dixie and CVS about 8 miles away. Great end of the island for bike riding.

Nicely Done.

We stayed here in St. James City for 3 weeks. The home was large enough for us and our small pets. It is on a canal leading directly to Pine Island Sound in about 5 minutes. Has most everything you need for a comfortable stay with comfortable furnishings. Bring a boat or rent one from Monroe Canal Marina. We knew the fishing grounds and caught Sea Trout, Sheepshead, Ladyfish, Mangrove Snapper along with some other multi species running the area. Quiet neighborhood. Expect some construction to homes and businesses from Hurricane Ian. Hosts are easy to communicate with and accommodated anything we asked for. Would love to return!

Great fishing house

If you like to fish/stay right in the water, this is the house for you! Ample dock space to fish from, or pull your boat into. The Covered dock and boat lift is awesome. We brought our boat and launched at very nearby Monroe Canal Marina. We drove the boat to several close by awesome fishing spots—redfish pass in North Captiva, Sanibel Bridge, and Blind pass. We caught grouper and snook. By boat, you are one canal away from Phuzzy’s Boat Shack restaurant also Lighthouse restaurant at Port Sanibel Marina and Grandma Dots, all great restaurants by boat ! Fully stocked kitchen, clean home and lots of outdoor seating to have the great water view when drinking coffee in the morning. Very quiet peaceful neighborhood. Laundry—clean washer and dryer. A/C worked well, just make sure you have sun room porch door closed (push close all way to right). Great for locals for a fishing stay-cation as well as those out of town. Will recommend to friends
