Direct Gulf Access Island Retreat - Boat Lift, No Bridges, Convenient Location!

House was set up with details of things that would be needed well thought out Had a very enjoyable trip

Fantastic stay. Our best rental experience yet. Property manager is wonderful.

We loved our stay at Genesee Cottage on Pine Island. The house was clean and well stocked with everything we needed (except beach towels). We liked the convenient location at the center of Pine Island. We were near Pickleball courts and a public pool but on a quiet street with friendly neighbors. We hope to return.

Pine Island/Bokeelia is very interesting, and I am quite certain it has an interesting history. The house itself was nice, relatively clean, and the location is perfect for those that desire privacy. Amenities were excellent compared to other rentals in this region we have stayed at. There is a dock to fish from (noseeum warning) but you need to wear the strongest deet possible, or be bitten alive. Fishing should be relatively good here, but we stayed at the wrong time ~ full moon. Tides were wonky, fish were M.I.A. and so we went elsewhere to fish. House has everything you need, to include a hot tub, that is serviced, BONUS! Kitchen (for the ladies that need to know) has above average utensils, but depending on how/what you cook, you may desire more. The owner even has a micro plane, go figure. For some renters, if you have a boat to bring, hold on to your rig, because I am certain there are red/snook honey holes out there close by. My wife and I almost bought a bout just due to the location (almost). There is a plethora of restaurants for dining, most are very casual, with a few up-scale. Kids will not be at a loss for food, and the locals are very nice for the most part. Anywhere you go there is always a grumpy individual, and unfortunately I found him. But he was the only one the entire week, a win-win in my book!. Give this house a try, you will not be disappointed!

Great access to water and close fishing locations. Boat lift is easy to use. Property was roomy and very clean. The owners provide a ton of local resources in a pamphlet as well as instructions for things around the house. The hot tub was nice at the end of long days on the water also. It was also very nice to have the laundry available. Overall we had a great experience and would rent again

It was quiet and private...just what we wanted! The home is bright and comfortable. And the hot tub is a bonus! For a wonderful day at a beautiful beach, be sure to take the ferry to Cayo Costa. We took the Tropical Star...fun!! We highly recommend Pine Island, and plan to return soon.

We had a great stay here. Loved how big the house was for our group. The kitchen had all the comforts of home. We enjoyed the hot tub and sitting in the covered lanai. The neighborhood was wonderful. Went on morning walks and everyone was friendly.

Enjoyed staying on Pine Island, this house was in a great location. Very relaxing. Enjoyed using kayaks and fishing. Would stay here again.

Very nice home with nature showing up in the backyard. We had manatees twice. Fish jumping, birds and the cute lizards. The only thing we would have liked that wasn't there were a couple of lounge chairs. Great location. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home.

This is a really nice property overall! We would stay at this location again. Pros: great neighborhood, quiet, canal access, amenities as noted in the listing are accurate, and a great location on the Island to get to all parts of the Island. We cooked dinner on the gas grill nearly every night and prep’d most of our breakfasts and lunches at the home during our 16 night stay. Enjoyed the hot tub too! Cons: we had an issue with cleanliness in a couple areas of the home upon arrival. We could have had the property manager send cleaners over; however, it was more desirable for us to take care of the cleaning ourselves rather than being interrupted. The property manager provided an adjustment to the cleaning fee for our effort. We also found the king bed to be a bit too soft. It had great plushness but not supportive to our liking (and we are light weight people 140# and 110#). We would have tried the queen bed but the mattress was much too high off the floor for my wife.
