What’s not to love about Pine Island? Our place is the perfect getaway with gulf access canal in our backyard, access to dock, a great pool and jet tub! You will see adorable manatees at our dock and up and down our canal! There is an awesome osprey nest near the house. Really cool tropical wildlife all around. We are across from a huge open preserve and next to a farm - can you say relaxing! Ability to rent the golf cart right at the house is a bonus! Please make sure to research Pine Island before you book to make sure it meets your expectations of where you want to explore on your vacation. Thank you

Guest access
You will see Biking, golf carts and electric bikes around the Island. Many people are out walking. Parking is right in front of our blue patio.
House is on a cul-de-sac/dead end which makes for a wonderful and safe street!
Our private boat/kayak launch is also right on our street, which makes it extremely convenient and easy

COOL Stuff-

*Right next to our community every Thursday afternoon in the church parking lot (in season, usually starts Jan 1st - April) there is an amazing Farmers Market with fresh fruits, veggies and specials! Check it out!

Pine Island will feel like a different world. It's so unbelievably laid back filled with palm tree nurseries, farms and nature. We boat or take the ferry over to secluded island barrier beaches which is the quickest. You can take a car to some of them like Sanibel, Fort Myers Beach, Captiva etc...which would be about an hour plus of a drive. We do have a very small beach on the island as well.
