About this property

Soak up Paradise and Relax in Heated Pool/Spa Home surrounded by Happy Wildlife

Heated Salt Water Pool and Spa on Marble Lanai, with large screened enclosure. This side-by-side home is fully equipped with appliances, linens, 2 kayaks, 2 bikes - just pack your bags for this vacation rental! Don't forget to BYOB... Boat* that is! (*contact Host for more information) Free use of ramp and slip, with shallow canal access to Matlacha Pass and Charlotte Harbor/Cayo Costa/North Captiva islands. Bokeelia is truly a forgotten paradise... once you drive over the bridge through Matlacha, you'll feel the vibe... fishing village, festive shops, variety of dining options, parks, sunsets, canals... you'll be surrounded by happy wildlife... dolphins, manatees, eagles, osprey, egrets, ibis, herons... even 2+ resident Gopher Tortoises on our property (look but DON'T touch or feed!) Even the Palm Trees love it here (Pine Island is the palm tree growing capital of the region!) Be aware there are no public beaches on Pine Island, which is surrounded by Gulf waters and bordered with mangroves. Ferries available to the barrier islands, one hour drive to Ft Myers beach.
Hosts (retired, 60-ish couple) occupy the other unit of this duplex and are very respectful of their guests' privacy.
The large pool/spa/lanai area is shared, with each unit having its own full set of loungers, chairs, firepit, and private outdoor dining area.

Excellent vacation spot in SW Florida

The place was perfect for our family. Private, quiet, secluded and in a great central location for Pine Island. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The pool was in great condition and we were also able to use the provided bikes, kayaks, grill, and ither amenities. Hosts were great and were available as needed but also gave us our space and privacy

Relaxing stay

Hot tub and pool were lovely, hosts are very nice. Unfortunately some of the art galleries, etc we were looking forward to visiting as listed on Pine Island tourist info were not there or shut down, so not much to do if you don’t fish.

amazing family vacation

Staying in this vrbo home is far superior to a hotel. We did both on our trip to florida. This house was so clean and a perfet fit for our family. The pool was a huge hit and the amenities of the kitchen and washer and dryer made our stay so comfortable . Pine island is so quaint with an old Florida feel. Small mom and pop spops delivered us amazing meals and endless entertainment.

Relaxing

Our stay here for a month was fantastic! The place is clean, cozy and very comfortable, has everything you need. It is located in a nice quiet neighborhood. The island has many restaurants with outdoor seating and entertainment by the water. There is a marina close by for Charter Fishing, renting a boat or taking a ferry to other islands nearby. The owners Dee and Ollie are wonderful and we had a great time getting to know them. We would definitely stay here again.

Extremely clean and perfect home away from home

The pool and hot tub were amazing and relaxing. The tortoises were a cool sight for the kids and they also caught a fish out of the canal. The home had all the comforts needed. It was clean and comfortable. Beautiful location with plenty to do. The hosts, Ollie and Dee, were very personable and inviting making us feel at home. The check in and out process was simple. We would definitely stay again! Thanks

Bokeelia stay

Had a wonderful stay. Having the pool And hot tub right there made it perfect. Went fishing a couple of times and can’t say enough great things about our guide Matt Lee. Put us on the fish. Only draw back is No beach. Only accessible by boat or ferry to one of the islands. Hopefully will stay again next year . Owners very accommodating and friendly wanting to make your stay perfect

Bokeelia

The property was clean, well kept and well stocked. The photos were a little nicer than the actual quality and I guess I didn’t notice beforehand that it was a duplex. But well located, convenient to most everything, kayaks and boat docks were a big plus! The owner was responsive and easy to communicate with. Good value.

Beautiful

The home was beautiful and clean. The neighborhood was good with a boat launch across the street. The gopher tortoise was not nice. He would run so you see him. The pool area was perfect and after a long day enjoying everything the hot tub was great to relax in. The owners were great to deal with. Communication was perfect and they were quick to respond with any questions. Definitely will book from them again.

Spring break fun in the sun!

We had a wonderful vacation here! The pool and hot tub were relaxing. I loved the tile around the pool very nicely done! The house was clean and cozy. We enjoyed being able to stream on the TV with our apps that we have. We drove to Sanibel island one day. It was also nice to use our paddle boards in the nice channel by the house. We made it all the way out into the sound! Thank goodness you had paddles because we forgot ours! Our son used one of the bikes to ride around the neighborhood. Definitely a 10/10! It was nice to meet the owners too!
