About this property

Fisherman's Delight With Heated Salt Swimming Pool and a new Boat Lift

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.

The only thing I regret about this stay is that I did not have a boat to take better advantage of what this property had to offer. Owner was amazing communicator. Host requested a few things which were all justified in terms of cleanliness and economy for the stay. Pool was enclosed by a screen to keep the bugs out. We enjoyed it each day of our stay. Place was clean and very comfortable. Thumbs up!

Thank you for this review. Next time you stay with us you will have to bring a boat or rent a boat and catch that Tarpon.

We loved our stay at Fisherman’s Delight. We have stayed at several homes in the area but this home stands out as not just a rental property but as someone's home. The furniture, well stocked kitchen and comfortable beds make this house stand out. We really enjoyed spending time in the large pool area and the pool. The pool area was a great spot for morning coffee and bird watching. The house was very clean and check-in was very easy, all instructions needed inside the house. Loved the location, nice quiet neighborhood. Laura was great to work with during booking and our stay. We would not hesitate to book the house again if available. Great property and host!

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.

Relax and maybe don't fish

This property is a great place to relax and enjoy nature if you are not into fishing. Additionally, if you like to bike, the areas low traffic and scenic views are ideal. Laura the owner was great. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

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!

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.
