About this property

Direct water access to Charlotte Harbor and Gulf of Mexico with no bridges.

Bring the boat, kayaks, bikes and water toys. This high and dry Pine Island home on a canal has withstood all the storms with no water damage. The house is on stilts so it remains safe from storm surge. A short trip down the canal with your boat takes you to Jug Creek, into Charlotte Harbor and out to the Gulf of Mexico in 15 minutes, where the best fishing in the world happens.
Go up the stairs to the living space where you will feel like you are in a treehouse. There are 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, a fully stocked kitchen, living room, dining room, and screened in deck overlooking the canal and fruit trees.
The main bedroom has a king size bed with storage as well as a large dresser and huge closet. The 2nd bedroom has 2 twin beds, dresser and big closet. The living room has a queen sleeper sofa. We supply all the comforts of home for short or extended stays. We have added a newer air conditioner, hardwood floors and new roof in 2022.
Plenty of seating options for the whole family.
Downstairs there is a laundry room for guest use with a washer, dryer, folding table and a freezer to store your ice, bait and the day's catch. A rolling rod rack rack is there to store your rods safely. There is a locking dock box for your use to safely store your fishing gear. We also provide a gas grill, kayak rack, and bike rack. Relax and enjoy your fresh catch and a cocktail under the carport while watching the fish jump in the canal.
The dock has electric, fresh water, fenders and cleats to tie up your boat up to 26 ft. long. Sorry, the boat lift is not for guest use. The boat launch ramp is 3 streets away and there is ample parking for your trailer and vehicles.

The 3rd bedroom, downstairs, is the "Captain's Quarters. It has a queen storage bed, full bathroom and mini kitchen. It is not rented to a separate party. Maximum guests is 8 persons in the house. No exceptions.

***** As of Nov 21, 2025 Lavender's Landing boat ramp is open for launching. It is closed at night until the rest of the renovations are complete. For more info go to leegov.com for updates.

Thanks for checking us out. Come see us. WE ARE AVAILABLE.

Perfect getaway

I rented this home mainly for its dock space and its proximity to good fishing. The house itself was clean, well kept and exactly as advertised. Mike was a great host, helping me figure out logistics as I was bringing my boat from PA. I really appreciated the laundry room storage for my rods and that there was even a deep freezer that came in handy. I really liked that the host left me an extra couple things like trash bags and paper towels as I didn’t get to the market right away. Everything was great!

Our happy place!

This was our second stay at Sealaxation & it was just as wonderful as the first. We love everything about it; communication, easy check in, cleanliness, stocked kitchen, super comfortable beds and everything you need for your boat dock. The launch is right down the road. We will continue to make this our family's vacation destination as long as we can!

Beautiful Bokeelia paradise!

My family and I enjoyed our stay so much! The house was immaculate and had everything we needed. Our children loved the desk with toys and craft area. We loved the property and how close we were to the boat ramp and the bait store. Check in and out process was so simple. They even left us a welcome gift bag. All around perfect location and stay!

Fishing Vacation

We were so grateful to learn this property was spared from hurricane Ian. My husband and son so enjoy fishing. We have a boat, so with this home being on the canal it works so well for us. It is easy access to great fishing areas. We hope to return.

Bokeelia Canal Dream

These hosts think of everything needed to make your stay outstanding. This place will provide wonderful sunsets every day from the lanai. Watching the boat traffic is fun. Neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. Enjoy the lanai or the ground floor patio. We stayed a month and enjoyed every day. Definitely a great place to spend some time.

Excellent Stay

Property and Pictures were accurate, house was clean, up to date, and had all needs covered. For me, master king bed was a little soft but others may find it okay. Please note all your luggage and groceries must be carried up the stairs be sure your able to handle this. All in all great stay, way too short, hope to come again.

Adorable Cottage

The place is adorable. Bright, cheery and spotless. Very well provisioned with kitchen items and lots of other well thought of things. Even a wonderful welcome package! You can fish off of the dock and tie a boat up there. The screened in lanai overlooks the water and is so pleasant. The neighborhood is great and very quiet. Close to everything. We will definitely rent again. Mike was great to deal with.

Quiet getaway

Beautiful home. We rented a boat from Waterbird Rentals nearby. Excellent dockage- there’s no need to use the boat lift. Super quiet neighborhood, beautiful setting, awesome sunrises and sunsets. Fully stocked with things like spices and foil etc. Plenty of cookware. We’ll be back!

Home Away From Home

We spent six weeks at Sealaxation House and it was one of the most relaxing and enjoyable times we've ever spent in Florida. It was our first time visiting southwest Florida and we loved the location, it's beautiful scenery and it was perfect for boating, fishing and experiencing the wildlife. It was fun meeting and getting to know Bobby next door, he's a top-notch guide, very helpful and an overall great guy! And last, but not least, Thanks Very Much to our Hosts for everything, who were excellent at communicating, going to great lengths to clearly provide and make readily available everything we needed to make our stay extremely comfortable making wonderful memories!

Disliked: Communication

It was OK

Overall the house was nice and included most of everything you will need. A few negatives though. Communication with host was good before we showed up but only heard once on our second night around 8:30pm complaining about porch light being on which states to turn off after 9pm. Supposedly it shines in neighbors bedroom window. Not sure why the host would make this the guests problem. Fix this issue directly with your neighbor and offer to buy blackout curtains or something. Made us feel like we had a 9pm curfew and not sure this is ideal for someone who would want to sit out back and enjoy themselves after 9pm since noise would probably be a problem too. My wife and I are very quiet people and felt uncomfortable. Host never asked if we needed anything just the one complaint. Also the bridge to island is down to one lane and we spent an average of 45 minutes to 1hr getting off the island every day. This should have been communicated to us prior to booking. We wouldn’t have booked and instead wasted valuable vacation time sitting in our car every day. Lastly we were surprised that there wasn’t anything provided related to outdoor activities, not even a fishing pole and your on a canal. I had to buy one and left it there for others to use. Hopefully they enjoy it.
