Perfection on Pine Island!

Extremely clean, very comfortable, cute house on the canal. The house is adorable, comfy beds, great shower, decorated so cute! Nice kitchen, with everything we needed. We made several breakfasts, the hosts were very responsive, they had several vintage bikes available for us. We walked and rode around the neighborhood and over to visit family, it is near the restaurants. I biked around the corner and bought fresh stone crab claws. We were here visiting family and this was a terrific home base for us! Thank you for sharing your place with us- We’d love to stay again when we come back to the island!

Prime Location, Hosted with Excellence

Our stay was truly exceptional. Not only was the property perfect for our small family, with ample sleeping space and a fantastic layout, but our host, Chris, was absolutely phenomenal. When the AC briefly went out, he had a technician on-site within an hour—talk about responsive! The kids (and adults!) were completely captivated by the outdoor shower, making it the highlight of our trip. Location-wise, you couldn't ask for better. Nestled in the heart of the city, we easily explored local bars and restaurants via golf cart, and the proximity to the ocean made boat rentals a breeze. While there's no private pool, the island's community pool is a gem, offering incredible value for a small entry fee.

We love when our guests are happy and love our places! We go out of our way to be sure everything is well decorated, comfortable and clean! All remodeling and decorating is done by us!!!

Why they chose this property

All of the Pine lsland water front neighborhoods have thier own unique vibe, and this one is no exception. Quiet and quaint, and close to everything and THE BEST sunsets you will find! And if you are here to fish… you’re literally 2 mins from deep water!

What makes this property unique

Iveta is an artist by trade and this is very obvious when you see the creativity and style she creates in the interiors of our homes. Chris had been a builder since 1975 and takes great pride in the design and quality of all of our homes. Together we believe our vacation rentals are some of the best on the island.
