About this property

Come, enjoy this 3 bedroom/2 bath 2000 sq.ft. home in Saint James City with over 150 feet of seawall. This Villa is a fishermans paradise with a covered boat lift. You are only minutes from the waters of Pine Island Sound. This area is known for some of the best fishing for snook, redfish, trout, grouper, snapper, pompano, cobia and more. Make your way North past Sanibel , Captiva and Cayo Costa to the waters around Boca Grande Pass to find the largest tarpon population in the world. If after all that, you are all worn out, why not just relax and fish the sandy flats and mangroves always just minutes away. For your information, there are also fishing charter services available nearby.

Beautiful home in great location

We enjoyed docking our boat right behind the house and being centrally located to take day trips all around the island. Our favorite destinations were Sanibel and Cayo Costa. Pine island has great farms to explore as well, and we left with delicious mangoes. We are not big on fishing but we saw fish being caught everywhere we went, so this is truly a fisherman’s paradise as well.

Perfect place for family getaway

We were looking for a quiet and relaxing weekend away from our busy lives and this house was exactly that. Fishing right out of the backyard was exactly what we needed to recharge.

Great Host, Great Home, Great Location

This home was perfect for our family trip over spring break. There was a small hiccup at check-in, but Laura went to great lengths to ensure everything got taken care of. We had great communication, and she was always willing to help provide anything we needed. The home was spacious, well-furnished and stocked for us to make meals and enjoy time around the pool. The location was very safe, convenient, and laid back, just the way we like it! We would absolutely stay here again!

Great!

Enjoyable stay! This was our second time renting. House was clean. Comfortable master bed. Good size pool that we stayed in much of the time. Plenty of outdoor seating. Just don’t forget your bug spray. Good fishing for my husband and daughter. Spotted dolphins last time we were there and this time we seen a manatee with her baby swim by. Neighborhood is nice and always quiet. Host was friendly and available for any needs but we didn’t have any. Will book again.

25 th Anniversary vacation

Went fishing every day except the first day, they were replacing the boat lift. It is all new and nice now. House is like new inside and pool is nice.Air conditioner outside master bedroom is a little loud and the bed is firmer than we like. Over all we had a good time and are planning to go back.

Great location for fishing and quiet neighborhood

This home is beautiful! The inside is large open space living, with a huge center island for cooking and food preparation. All brand new appliances. The bedrooms are great and perfect size. A/C works wonderful, even in the heat of the summer! The pool is awesome and comfortable! The BEST part is the ENTIRE screened in back porch, which stops those biting a** gnats and no see’ems. Makes for very comfortable grilling and hanging out area. The boat lift is wonderful!! I have a 26’ boat and it docked perfectly, easy access in and out of the boat! Has a fish skinning station, power and water at the boat lift! WONDERFUL PLACE

Wonderful fishing vacation

My wife and I spent five wonderful days at the property. Being able to bring our boat and keep it on the lift was beyond convenient. The house itself was neat, well stocked, and a bargain for the price. The entire area was a pleasure to explore by boat, and we will definitely be coming back to stay again!

Delightful

We enjoyed our time at Fisherman’s delight. The home is perfectly located near main waterways, local restaurants, and bars. It was clean and spacious, updated, stocked well with nice towels, blankets, and bedding, nice furniture, and even great smelling candles. The pool area was roomy. The boat lift and dock are were perfect. Gorgeous trees all around the house. You can tell the owner takes pride in this home and making others stay enjoyable. We can’t wait to book again!

Great home with excellent location!

The property is located in a nice, quiet neighborhood in the heart of St James City. There are no homes across the canal (only mangroves) so it is much more private than most canal homes., but is still just a quick bike ride to bars and restaurants. The home is very close to big water so it is just a short boat ride to Sanibel and Ft. Myers beach. The house has been updated with modern amenities and furniture. The king bed is very comfortable. All the bedding is nice and there are plenty of towels. The AC worked well and the ceiling fans were a welcome addition in August! There are 3 bikes, fishing poles, cooler, 2 kayaks, beach umbrella and a couple of folding chairs for the beach. We enjoyed the beautiful pool and covered porch area. There is also a nice dock, new boat lift and fish cleaning station. The yard has beautiful tropical landscaping. We loved the house, pool, location and St James City. It was a wonderful vacation. We are looking forward to returning.

WORST PLACE WE HAVE RENTED!!! EVER!!!

We showed up to contractors everywhere, in the driveway and all around the house. This did not end through our stay. The house was filthy! Cable was less than basic 7-10 channels then 120 less than basic channels, the outside lights pool/boat lift lighting broken, front lights not there. Verbo, would not help me find another place, then when I called back and told them what was going on with the contractors there every day, I was yelled at and told I should have called sooner, and they would have helped me and relocated me. When I told them I did call and was told to deal with the host, again I was told they would not do anything I needed to deal with the host. I asked them to call the host and ask them to have the contractors leave and not show back up until I was gone, they would not. I was then asked to leave by the host, after complaining. I had no place to go and all the places available were out of my budget, Verbo would not help. This was supposed to be a restful time enjoying a heated salt pool (which was broke) between cancer treatments for my husband and ended up being a nightmare of construction and no rest. The pool was dirty with bird poop in & out and after the lanai contractor came, it was full of metal shavings all over/in the pool and the pool area, the dock and surrounding area. There was no respect for our time, money or peace! This home should not have been put on the site until ALL construction was done. The description of this house was NOT what we got!!
