About this property

Calling Waters-Gulf access w/dock, pool and HT.

This stunning canal front home in Southwest Florida features a heated pool, a private dock that can accommodate a 25-foot boat, a barbecue grill, ample patio space, and a screened lanai, making it a perfect vacation rental for families or groups. This spacious 4-bedroom, 2-bath property offers a well-appointed interior designed for comfort and relaxation.

For those interested in boating, you can rent a boat at one of the nearby marinas, or enjoy a round of golf at the local golf course.

Everything you need is conveniently located on Pine Island, where you’ll find no stoplights, minimal corporate-owned stores, and a charming array of mom-and-pop shops and restaurants. This secluded single-family home is situated in the peaceful Serenity Cove subdivision of Bokeelia. The pool home comes with a hot tub connected to the pool, completely enclosed with screening for your comfort and privacy. The open floor plan provides numerous options for lounging and entertaining, both indoors and outdoors.
The master bedroom features a full bathroom with a large walk-in shower, ensuring a relaxing retreat. The entire home is equipped to meet your needs, and we are available via text, phone, and email. A local house watcher is also on hand to assist with any miscellaneous needs during your stay. This small residential neighborhood boasts a park-like setting across the street and offers lake access for added enjoyment.

Please note that a car is necessary to get around the island, as there is no public transportation available. A Win Dixie grocery store is just 5 minutes away, and the beautiful beaches of Ft. Myers are approximately 45 minutes away. The nearby town of Matlacha features small shops and delightful restaurants, making it a great place to stroll through this quaint water community.

For those who enjoy cycling, there is a bike path that runs the length of the island, and the property includes three bikes for your convenience. You can also rent an electric bike at the bike shop located about 5 minutes away. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly, perfect for a relaxing getaway. Boats are available for rent in St. James at the south end of the island, and a ferry provides daily trips to Cayo Costa State Park, an island accessible only by boat, offering stunning beachcombing opportunities. For golf enthusiasts, there is one golf course on the island as well.

Great house for family get-together

We loved our stay at this home for July 4th week. The pool is beautiful and the house was well equipped. It was a very boat short ride from the canal to open waters. Five minute drive to Publix for groceries. We will definitely stay here again in the future. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with our family for the week!

Nice accommodations, lacking some amenities

Home was very clean, nicely decorated, and host reaponded well. We dropped one star since there was no shampoo or lotion. There was bodywash probably left from previous tenants. Also, there was a washer and a dryer, but an empty Detergent container in the closet. Although we did not prepare meals there, there did appear to be a well provided kitchen

Great overall house!

We brought our 23ft Center Console boat to enjoy. Not knowing the area we didn’t know what to expect. Getting out to the gulf was accessible with a marked channel. As with any body of water, checking tide is a must. Just make sure your boat is on plane when leaving the canal. Residents have marked the mangrove area with PVC to make it easier, which was super helpful. The house was very clean, and well stocked cooking needs, pool towels, extra bedding, etc. And also had plenty of space for everyone! Also, having the extra lot across the street was great for parking the boat trailers.

BAD EXPERIENCE

Bad experience with this property and with Host. I would stay away from this one. Among the list of problems and most notable, the boat dock advertised in the listing was occupied by the owner’s boat. I had to pay for a marina a 45 minute drive away. The owner never admitted any wrong doing or help with any of the extra cost. In fact, told us he would make things right only after we have posted a 5 start review. Also, boat access to the house is only possible during high tide when the water is almost 2 ft deep. This would be during late night on many days. Staying here was the opposite of Vacation or Relax.

We have gladly spent thousands of dollars to insure a great stay for our many happy guests. This person brought a 30' boat to a 25' lift. She clearly did not read the property description. The john boat at the lift is for our guest use and is easily moved to our other lift. She waited until she was on her way to ask about the water levels. Poor planning. Then she wanted money from me to fund her boating ineptness. Which I offered to split with her in an attempt not to have our good name slandered. She wanted more money and I declined. Not welcome back.

Perfect spot for a large group

This house was just what we needed for a large group of friends staying together for the weekend. The house was super clean with a lot of towels and everything we needed for our stay. The house provided enough space for everyone to be comfortable. We bought our own boat and spend most of the weekend boating. If you plan on bringing a boat, pay close attention to the tides. The canal and channel can get very shallow. We never had an issue but we made sure to check the tides each morning. Our group would definitely stay here again!

The best vacation rental I’ve ever stayed in!!

I don’t typically leave reviews, but this place was the cleanest rental I’ve ever stayed in!! Everything was in pristine shape and felt so clean and nice. We were all so amazed at how clean it was. The tile floor grout was even clean and looked almost new. The tile showers were also a perfectly clean white grout. Where as normally most tile showers have “wear and tear” on them. You could even just about eat off of the garage floor, it was all that clean!! The pool was also amazing, and the view is great as well. We will definitely be back! This home had everything we needed. Highly recommend!!

About the host

Hosted by MICHAEL

Host profile image
My wife Kathy and I love the Pine Island area and love to have guests enjoy our homes while we are away in Illinois. Hosting is rewarding because it allows us to share this great place in the world with others who enjoy a connection to the water. We have enjoyed sailing the waters of Lake Michigan and the Caribbean and love to get out into Charlotte Harbor and the Gulf.

Why they chose this property

Serenity Cove subdivision is a peaceful and friendly neighborhood that is very welcoming to our guests. We call all our neighbors friends and love spending time with them.

What makes this property unique

Pine Island is one of the last "old school" Florida locations on the west coast of Florida. This area is not the place if you are looking for a beach party but surely offers the opportunity to visit uninhabited beaches if you are the willing to look for them. There is some of the best fishing and boating available in the country right in these waters. Or just relax at the pool year round.
