The home was impeccable, with little extras in case you forgot your shampoo or soap. Cleanliness was first and foremost, with the attention to detail spot on! Pool was relaxing, with a wee bit warm in the summer, so relax within before the bugs come out at night( after all this is summer). Just note there is no oven, but there is a convention microwave. So grilling it is! Friendly neighbors and great location. We are quiet and the neighborhood is the same!

YOLO FEST 2025

5 friends came together to attend YOLO Fest 2025 - which friends started in 2022. The house was well appointed, spacious and comfortable. The location was perfect as it was 2 blocks from YOLO. The only suggestions I have are as follows: 1. King mattress needs to be rotated or replaced-lumpy & soft2. Put a full length mirror somewhere in the house. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely rebook.

Perfect home and location

Everything about this home is wonderful. If I could give more than five stars then I would. The house is immaculate clean, beds are comfortable, a/c works perfectly. The house is equipped with everything you need. The pool is big and kids had a great time swimming. The dock and location are perfect for boating and access to fishing. Plenty of room for vehicle and boat trailer parking. Communication with host manager was immediate once we received our welcome info prior to check in. Hoping it’s available for our next visit!

Spring get away

Beautiful and very clean house. Nice quiet location. Some communication with management after our arrival. However, when I emailed several times prior to our stay I got no response. The kayak was nice except there was no paddle. Luckily we were able to rent one from Apex. Also at the end of our stay communication was lacking when I reported the propane tank on the grill was out and a chair that was very rusted had broken when it was sat on. Loved the house and location but communication from management was not as responsive as it should have been.

Amazing Property in St. James City

We stayed here over my son's spring break to do some fishing on Pine Island. Overall, our stay was amazing. I would definitely stay here again and will most likely book another vacation here. The house was very clean with new furniture and bedding. The pool, dock, and firepit were amazing. Great location, quiet but close to several restaurants that would cook the fish we caught. Only issue which is small and hopefully resolved. The propane on the gas grill was empty. contacted the management company to resolve it. I tried calling, left a message, and texted and they eventually responded to my text advising me to take to a local store to have it filled. Again, not a big issue but I feel it could have been handled better on their part. Again, overall it was a great stay and look forward to returning.

Perfect Location

Overall we had a great stay. We didn’t know much about the area, but quickly found there is not a better spot for boating. 3 minute boat ride out to the water. The house and pool area were extremely clean. We had an issue with the pool heater that was resolved. The boat lift, trailer parking and kayaks were great. Plan to bring your own firewood. The beds are old (squeaky and feel every movement), but I understand the new owner will be renovating. Listing and information from owner and local contact was inaccurate and poor communication. They said they had beach towels, but had only 4 that were in sad shape. The bath towels (1 per person) were tattered and discolored. Easy fixes. The pool area desperately needs a cage. We couldn’t sit outside at night because nothing stopped them. In the end, a great trip because we loved the space and location so much!

Cute little getaway on the canal

This was a perfect getaway for a short girls' weekend. The house is small but was perfect for 3 of us. The pool was great and we enjoyed the firepit at night. The location on the canal was lovely and we enjoyed watching the manatees swim around. St. James is a low key, relaxing town and we enjoyed our trips to Matlacha for delicious food too.

Beautiful backyard

Love the location & the house. Just a few small maintenance issues that should probably be addressed(guest bedroom window wouldn’t close & water backup into shower & tub one day). No major issues, or anything that kept us from having a great time. Lovely quiet neighborhood.

A relaxing pool with unique canal view

Spent 3 nights with family at this relaxing home. Nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac. Clean interior with large tv with cable and streaming available. Kitchen opens up to a plunge pool overlooking a canal with tropical feel. We felt like we were in the tropics. Great time!

Great place for bringing your boat!

The dock and boat lift were perfect for our length 22ft boat. Could accommodate slightly bigger as well. Deep canal a short distance to the intracoastal. It was wonderful boating to the surrounding islands and the fishing was great. We loved seeing the manatees that came through the canal every day! The house was clean with a well equipped kitchen, nice linens, and plenty of towels. The pool was perfect after a long day on the salt water. This was a perfect place to stay.

Backyard space can’t be beat

The house was great. The backyard setup was amazing for the family and boat. Made everything very easy. Not much shade to be found around the pool, but not fault off the house. The interior was comfortable, but the back was where most of our time was spent. Short boat rides to dinner made it easy with.
