The cottage was everything the owner promised! It was truly lovely --- nicely furnished, well maintained, great backyard and ideal location! Shopping at the unique shops in Matlache was a treat --- the fishing wasn't bad either! During the week we visited with family who spend 3-4 months on Pine Island every year, and they were equally impressed with this lovely cottage. We would certainly recommend this property to anyone visiting St. James City, Pine Island.
Recommended for:People with disabilities, sightseeing, pet owners, age 55+, families with young children.

We stayed two weeks in April and had a wonderful time. The neighborhood around the cottage is very peaceful and quiet with friendly neighbors. The cottage reminded us of our stays in Key West. You can see from the pictures that the cottage is very nice. St James City is a very unique and fun location. If you stay, you must visit the Waterfront and Woody's. We will return.

We've been home a month and are still talking about it! What a great place to stay- quiet and comfortable, but close to so very much! We had a great time and hope to be talking to Chris and Dan again soon about a trip next year!

We had a wonderful time. It is a very nice & clean cottage (loved the patio). We like to fish so it was a great location. We enjoyed taking the boat to all the beaches. It is a very laid back area.We would rent from them again!!!

Delightful cottage in a quiet location, equipped with the necessities of modern living. The screened lanai is large and comfortably furnished -- a great place to relax. Owners are very helpful and gave us complete privacy. A chilled bottle of champagne waiting in the fridge was a nice touch!
