“Great location. Nice property. Clean and comfortable”- Mary I, review from Manatee Lookout
“We had the perfect little weekend getaway! The home was cozy, clean, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. It was exactly what we were looking for, and we truly enjoyed our time here. We would definitely come back again!”- Sara B, Review from Purple House
“This was a great place to stay to explore the area. It is low key and quiet, a great place to unplug and unwind. The use of the golf cart and kayaks added so much fun to our trip. The kids loved sitting on the dock watching the fish and the manatees (down the channel). The host is great and very quick to respond to any questions or needs.” - Stacy H, review from Purple House
“Clean and organized. They do a great job at making the process easy and it is in a quiet neighborhood.”- James M, review from Manatee Lookout

Private boat launch right on our street, which makes for a super easy experience
1 electric Golf cart is available to rent for your stay. Restricted to neighborhood use only to shuffle between houses, going to the pool and boat launch etc…waiver would need to be signed. Rates will be sent.
What’s not to love about Pine Island? Our cottages are the perfect getaway with gulf access canal in our backyard, private docks, a great pool and jet tub! You will see adorable manatees 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 houses is a bonus! Golf cart is ONLY for use in our neighborhood and cannot get around entire island. 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
Old Florida Vibes, peaceful natural environment, wildlife & manatee watching. Gorgeous barrier Island beaches short boat ride away-Captiva/Sanibel/Cayo/Boca Grande/Cabbage Key! We have one very small beach on our island you can swim, fish, launch kayaks etc…called tropical point. The best fishing! All about relaxation here!
Our island has a 16 mile wide bike path from one end to the other!! So fun to rent e bikes and explore. Enjoy
