Newly constructed building with inviting furniture....a little rustic, a little contemporary, and a little tropical!

The space:
Our home is located in the historic Saint James section of Pine Island. Numerous marinas, restaurants, art galleries, shops, boat tours, bird watching are within a very short drive [or even a walk!] An Olympic size, heated community pool and several tennis courts are less than 3 mile bike ride away. Sanibel, Captive, Boca Grande, and Cayo Costa Islands are easily accessed by boat or car. Fort Myers, Cape Coral, and Punta Gorda are neighboring cities that offer great shopping and tourist areas. A visit to Matlacha, the "Art Coast" of Florida is a must-see for anyone visiting this tropical area. There are no public beaches on Pine Island itself. However, numerous, gorgeous beaches are accessible by car or boat. Ferries, water taxis, and tour boats are within walking distance of our home.

Guest access:
Guest have access to the home, pond area, and driveway area. Unfortunately, due to insurance restrictions and safety precautions, no access to the barn or the horses is permitted.

Interaction with guests:
I am at the barn almost daily and am glad to help in any manner. Please feel free to call, text me, or speak to me in person if you need anything. Otherwise, I will respect your privacy and will not interrupt your time.

Keep in mind that you will be living above a barn. Horses often talk and sleepwalk at night...!!!! Although tranquility abounds, once in awhile one of the horses will make noise.

As Moonshine Acres is an active boarding barn, other horse owners frequently come to the barn to interact with their horse. Please don't be alarmed if some else is in the barn.

Also, our barn cats, Butters (fat white cat) and Reese (tortoise colored) will try to seduce you into feeding them or letting them in the apartment.....Please don't as they are well fed and other future guests may be allergic. Thanks for understanding!

Other things to note:
Moonshine Acres is completely fenced and an electric, locked gate and security lights provide added security for our guests.

There are 2 bicycles [male & female] available for your use.

Feel free to feed the ducks, turtles, and fish with the food that is secured in a black trunk located near the gate to the bridge. Kindly secure the locks on the trunk once you have given them a handful of food.

There is a small apartment located across the pond from you. It is occupied by a state park ranger that is happy to give you any info you need on Cayo Costa. His name is Matt and his dog is Gunner!

My husband and I live just one mile away. We are committed to earning your 5 star rating so if you need ANYTHING, please contact us directly. Thanks!
