Lovely home perfect for our purposes - a week working remotely. Several screened porches and a sunroom allowed for some variety during the day. Pine Island is very quiet but has a reasonable number of restaurants. Bikes were a nice add.

Great location and quiet

The owners were great and property was very nice. I rented due to having to gut our home in St James City due to hurricane so location was perfect for going back and forth to work on home as it was like a 7 minute drive. Highly recommend this property for vacationers the pool is literally next door!

Stay at Turtle Cottage

This was our second stay at Turtle Cottage and it was just as nice as last year. Stan and MaryBeth are great hosts. The location is very peaceful which we liked a lot. There is one small screened porch where I spent nearly every afternoon listening to audio books and cross stitching….loved it!

WONDERFUL STAY

We had a wonderful time on Pine Island and the house was unbelievable. It had everything we needed and more. Quiet neighborhood, close to everything, well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds. There was a binder full of suggestions on Things To Do. For those new to the area, stop by the Welcome Center and be sure and grab a quesadilla from the food truck next to the Welcome Center.

Turtle Cottage is great!

The property is neat and clean and the property manager made arriving and leaving seamless. The Pine Island Village site is quiet and off the main road. There is a bike trail, easily accessible, that traverses the 15 mile length of Pine Island. 2 bikes available.

Great Stay at the Turtle Cottage!

We had a wonderful getaway at the Turtle Cottage! The location was peaceful and quiet and the cottage was extremely clean, nicely decorated, and had everything we could possibly need or want, including beach towels and chairs. When we weren't off exploring the island and surrounding areas, you could find us on the screened-in porch off the kitchen. Thank you!

luxury, beachy vibes in paradise

we were lucky enough to stay at this property for 6 nights and it exceeded every expectation we had. the home is sparkling clean with tasteful layout and decoration. we particularly loved the screened in porches (there are 3 of them!) for reading, dining and simply drying our towels/bathing suits. personally i enjoyed the fact that the swimming pool was right next door and i enjoyed it every day of our visit with never another guest in sight! it was a great privilege to spend our valuable downtime here and we were so impressed that every creature comfort was thought of provided to us.

Thank you for sharing your lovely cottage with us!

We had a relaxing stay at this wonderful cottage. Marybeth went out of her way to make us feel welcome. The cottage is beautifully decorated and has all the amenities you need for a fun getaway. We visited Naples, Sanibel and enjoyed the quirky, fun restaurants on Pine Island. The Indian ruins were a highlight as well. Access to bikes and the swimming pool were much appreciated!

My husband and I spent 5 weeks here in Turtle Cottage and loved it.

The cottage is adorable. The beds are very comfortable. The kitchen is well kitted out for those of us who still cook while on vacation. My favorite place was the the screened porch off the kitchen. I spent many hours out there cross-stitching....it was wonderful. The pool next door is a treat to have and the neighbors are friendly. We enjoyed meeting both MaryBeth and Stan and are looking forward to going back next year!

A gem on Pine Island

This was a great stay in a quiet neighborhood. House was clean and up to date with plenty of amenities. Plenty of outside space to relax of an evening. Although closed from hurricane damage, so we didn't get to use it, the association pool is literally right next to the house. (it was set to open later this month) Short drive to both ends of the island for dining, as well as in to the main land. Easy access to nearby bike path. Mary Beth was great to work with.

Nice cottage for a fun getaway

I'd never heard of Pine Island before our stay there. It turned out to be a great place for a winter getaway. There's really no true beach on the island but we didn't mind. We found so much to do on all parts of the island - small galleries and unique restaurants kept us busy as did the pool right next door to the property. Even though the temps were in the 60's - 70's, the sun was shining and we got a good dose of vitamin D. The cottage itself is very well laid-out with plenty of neat spaces for sitting (three screened in porches were awesome). The kitchen is well appointed and great for cooking. Overall it was a great cottage in a great location and I'd very much consider coming back here in the future. Our host was very attentive and responsive. She even left us a bottle of wine to share which was great! Travel delays got us into the cottage very late (1 am), so a glass of wine before bed hit the spot (as did the chunky monkey ben and jerry's ice cream in the freezer). Great host, great property!
