About this property

Waterfront House, 2 Bdr, 2 bath, Boat Lift, Trailer Parking, and 2 Kayaks

House upgraded in April 2023 on the water across from Sanibel Island at the end of Monroe Canal. Enjoy the awesome view from the deck overlooking the mangroves and water. Bring your boat, boat lift included. Launch the included kayaks, the bikes, or just kick back on the deck watching the boats and dolphins. Great fishing awaits you in the sound, or head out into the gulf for the really big catch. This property is at the end of a canal which greatly decreases your no-wake time navigating canals both going out and coming back in. Monroe Canal Marina boat ramp just up the canal.

You will find it very clean. Great WIFI throughout! 10% discount on rentals for 28 days or more.

Pine Island is more of a slow island style tempo than even the rest of western Florida. There are several bars and restaurants close by, but no high rise condos on Pine Island. The neighborhood is mostly seniors and families with grandchildren. Frequent visitors from the sea include dolphins right in front of the villa. Ample parking in the driveway for a boat trailer. Boat rentals and Golf Cart rentals available close by. Saint James City, is a street legal golf cart community! Incredible view at this price. Compare a final price quote with other properties, no cleaning fee, zero! There is a $100 pet fee.

We love the location! The end of the canal is ideal for enjoying the boats and the water! The place has become an annual vacation for us.
Waking up to this view every morning is a great way to start the day!

Great location on the Monroe Canal. The house was clean and had everything we needed for a great stay. The boat lift is a huge bonus for this house as well. At end of the road so not much traffic at all and very quiet in the evenings and night. We loved the location for boating just a short 5 min idle and your on the ICW. Lots of marine life dolphins and manatees every day and seen a few stingrays. Highly recommend and we will stay there again later this year.

The house was perfect for us! We absolutely loved the view and ease of access with our boat. This is a paradise for people who like to fish. Watching all the boats come in and out of the canal was fun. The accommodations were fine. We wish there was a king size bed. The home had everything we needed.

Great location for us to visit with friends. Enjoyed the property. Didn’t use the lift or kayaks (looks like missing ores). Bikes were nice used multiple times. Had some issues with check-in but luckily got it resolved. Plan to use this property again.

What a view! What wildlife!

We are repeat renters and have found our little spot in the warmer climate! It is far from the crowd that is now typical of Florida! Every day we are entertained by the many boats going up and down the canal and the regular visits from dolphins, water birds and manatees. Can’t imagine a better spot!
