About this property
Island TreeTop House, Pet friendly
Lovely cozy 2bed 1bath secluded house in quiet neighborhood. My home is very clean and uncluttered. Great for Two or three people
House is 10 ft off the ground with relaxing tree top views from every window in the house. 10 acres protected land adjacent to property , and neighborhood boat and kayak launch one block from house. I have two kayaks and 2 bikes; guests are welcome to use. Lots of birds to watch, bring your binoculars. A leisurely walk to small cove beach, one block from house. Plenty of parking under the house. (No HOA restrictions). Outside fire pit for bonfires, Plenty of firewood.
New refrigerator, new tile flooring, new furniture throughout house, everyone mentions how comfortable the beds are. New linens, Washer/dryer, new air fryer, propane cook top stove, Microwave (no oven or dishwasher).
WI-FI & Antenna , 2 Smart TV’s and DVD player. Stream NFLX, AMZN prime, HULU, from your personal accounts.
Pine Island Community Pool, tennis courts and Library at the center of Island. (4 miles). Lots of privately owned restaurants on the island. Good food casual wear. Live music at area restaurants and pubs. My favorite restaurants are in The Perfect Cup, The BlueDog , Micali’s, in Bokeelia Captain Con’s Ilike the TacoTruck at the center, and several down in St James city. A Beaches are plentiful within a 60 to 90 minute drive. Ft myers beach, Sanibel beach, North Captiva beach is my favorite there is a water taxi from Pine island to north Captiva. Wonderful outing.
Englewood 🏝️ , Venice beach very nice also. This is my happy place and my guests love it too. Welcome to paradise.

Why they chose this property
While on vacation in 2004, came to Pine Island to visit friends. I fell in love with the Island. Lots of preserved land & wildlife.
Privately owned business’s abound on this beautiful island.
Artist and writers, fishermen and retirees. A strong community spirit is prevalent with A wide variety of choices. Arts, music,
Fishing, boating, kayaking, yoga, meditation and massage. Active Library events. Festivals. There is always a wide variety of activities, just check the Pine Island Eagle. The local
Paper here on the island. Or ask at local restaurants and shops. People are very friendly and easy to chat with.
I was drawn to the house because of the unique structure.
It brought to mind a fairytale house, compact with everything I needed. A cabin in the trees. Whenever I spent time here, I am at peace, enjoying the sun and the water. The Sighting of birds, dolphins, manatees, tortoise and many creatures brings such joy.
This is my happy place.

What makes this property unique
While driving around the island, I came across the most unique fairytale house, as I saw it. A cabin built in the tree tops. “For sale by owner”. It was mine.
The little bit of traffic that passes today, come to a complete stop and stare, if it’s their first encounter with this unusual home. That always brings me joy as that was my first reaction in 2004. I love my home and hope you will also.
