About this property

Studio with a water view

Summary:

Welcome to the Southernmost Inn! Compared to any other Inn on Pine Island, we can honestly say, "If you had stayed with us, you could already be fishing!" Avoid the fifteen-minute boat ride along the canal's "no wake" zones by docking with us.



Or simply sit and enjoy great views of wildlife and sunsets on the screened lanai looking out to San Carlos Bay.



"Hook Studio" sleeps 2 with a queen bed, one-bath and has a well-equipped kitchen.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

The unit was excellent - very clean, comfortable and and is in a perfect location. Louise was great and even let me check in a few hours early.The back/dock area needs some attention, but it is understandable given the recent hurricane. Had I brought my boat, I would have been very disappointed that there was no water available at the dock. Again, I am sure it is a work-in-process as the entire region is rebuilding.

Michael, Thank you for your review! I just wanted to clarify the dock situation. There is water available along the side of the Inn. When a guest arrives with a boat, we make sure they know where to find the water source. We are also getting ready to rebuild the seawall, which has delayed the completion of the landscaping on the water side of the Inn. I hope you will come again so you can enjoy your boat and the easy access to the Gulf! Louise

Wonderful

The studio was just as pictured, cute, cozy and clean. St James City was charming and quaint. Our hosts Louise and Dave were very attentive to our needs as well as Leah who was as at the property every day checking on things. She answered our questions and helped us fully enjoy our stay. The weather was cool for January but we still had a great time and will be back.

About the host

Hosted by Louise Schie

Host profile image
Louise and David live in Ft Myers near the bridge to Sanibel Island. Louise is a teacher and David is an electrical engineer. Both grew up in Canada near Toronto and lived for the past twenty years in California, moving to Southern Florida last year. David & Louise also own Crescent Island, just south of the Southernmost Inn (also available on VRBO).

Why they chose this property

The Southernmost Inn is by far the closest Inn to deep water (San Carlos Bay) in St James City and perhaps in the whole Matlacha/Pine Island area. When we say "two minutes" we mean two minutes without all the long canals at "no wake" speeds or shallow water to navigate. Southernmost is also right next door to the Waterfront Restaurant, which is a great restaurant with a full bar next door. Also nearby there is a fresh seafood market, grocery, hardware, and other amenities. A small sandy beach is within 1 minute walk. Outside your lanai you will find bbq's and a long dock with slips for your boat (bring your own or rent from us).

What makes this property unique

"Fishing Faster" on the way out, "Beer Faster" on the way in. Great views. Parking at the southernmost part of the Island where parking is at a premium. Laundry facilities. Fish cleaning station. Bicycles and Kayaks available.
