Please note, the house is located a few feet from the edge of the water. There is one house between us and the water. We have access to the private beach at the end of the road. The water in Pine Island is shallow. Great for little ones. At the end of the island in the public park, there is an area where the water is a bit deeper for those who enjoy swimming.

The family and I spent a couple of nights over the holidays at the house. We were in town to visit an elderly relative who lives in a rest home in nearby Spring Hill. The house served us perfectly well. The place was clean. The kitchen and laundry were well provisioned. All the appliances worked properly except for the in-the-door ice maker. The house itself lies in a quiet residential neighborhood on Pine Island. The county park at the end of the cul-de-sac was closed on account of the storms that walloped the area, which further reduced car traffic. From the captain’s chairs on the top deck we could watch the tide roll in and out and the sun set over the Gulf of Mexico. Groceries from the local Publix are a couple of minutes away for people who want to prepare their own meals. Restaurants of all stripes are nearby and plentiful along Cortez Boulevard. The house would serve well for a family of four to eight people who need a home base with a view near Spring Hill and Weeki Wachee.
The location of the property can not be beat. I love the beach and make a point to travel to locations with great beach access and Laura’s Pine Valley house did not disappoint. My family and I truly enjoyed our stay and will not hesitate to stay again.
The house is very good and great at all levels. well-equipped and maintained. The location is not that great. Driving 10 hours from Knoxville TN, assuming that we have a good beach. But the beach was very unpleasant. very shallow water and you do not even get the open beach wend or sound that you would expect for that close to water location. It could be good for young kids but definitely not a typical Tampa beach. The house is very nice though.
We stayed with our 9 and 12 year old kids the 3rd week in June. The house was nice. Be prepared for lots of stairs and barefoot is a no-no due to loose nails on the flights of stairs. The kitchen was well stocked with usable gadgets and we had plenty of paper products. We knew the house wasn't beach front, but could access the water via the sea wall at the end of the street. The water was really RIGHT THERE...the only problem is the way to get down to it. Unless it's low tide, you really couldn't go down there. Not only was it a 3 foot jump/drop the seaweed was thick! We used the beach park access at the end of the road every time we went in the water. It was really nice down there, so it made up for poor access. We got to experience some nice thunderstorms and the upper porches were awesome to watch the storms roll in and the sea rocking over the sea wall. The ONLy complaint we had was the a-hole crow that woke us up EVERY MORNING AT 6:45AM!! This bird would land on the upper porch and would either caw or peck the windows until someone got up and shooed it away. The owners placed a plastic owl on the upper porch, but it didn't fool this crow. Aside from the unwelcome wake-up call, the house was nice. The living room furniture was really comfortable and my go-to when I needed a quick charge nap. The pool table is nice but in need of new sticks. The owners where receptive, gave recommendations and communication was wonderful! We had a wonderful vacation!
The house was perfect. Plenty of room for my family. Lots of things to do nearby. And the view off the deck was awesome. Highly recommend this property if you want peace and quiet.
4th time staying here. We love the island and the beautiful house. We saw ? dolphins everyday. So quiet and peaceful. Home away from home. Can't wait to go back.
Loved the stay. Look forward to returning.
This VRBO on Pine Island was perfect for our stay with friends. Laura was very responsive to our questions. We found the house very clean, with a well-stocked kitchen. Every evening we watched the sunset from the top-floor balcony. Pine Island feels secluded, yet it is only a fifteen-minute drive to restaurants and shopping. The park, at the end of the island, is a ten-minute walk and perfect for a beach day. Willie’s beach grill is located in the park and serves excellent food.
We are 4 adults 60 +. We enjoyed our stay at Pine Island. Very clean and comfortable beds and furniture. Appreciated having enough paper goods to last 2 weeks. TP, paper towels trash bags dish soap. A gas grill with plenty of gas. Spices and cooking supplies. I guess we took our own bar soap and shampoos. Plenty of bathrooms and nice showers. Wifi was good. The view outside the master bedroom was very nice. Sat out in the mornings and some evenings. It would be perfect up there with a high top table and chairs. The stairs didn’t bother us. The car didn’t sit out because you could pull under the house. We were nervous about the beach because that is what we do. The beach near the house was convenient. The water was super shallow. The tide varies a lot so some days we had to move pretty far back on the sand and it isn’t real wide to begin with. After a few days we chose to sit up on the sea wall with our chairs. You are still basically right on the water. We never saw more than a half dozen people, so that was nice. We like to read, nap, and listen to music. If you are looking for quiet this is a good spot. No traffic, no street noise. You won’t walk to eating places but it isn’t very far to find plenty. Maybe 6 miles Best breakfast at the Silver Dolphin.
Easy to check in, just out enough to get away from the hassle and bustle of the city. Restaurant just down the road with great food. Would definitely stay again!
The family and I were in town to visit an elderly relative over the Christmas holidays. The house served our needs well. Plenty of room to spread out and relax. Everything in the place worked. We arrived on a day of historically cold weather—lows in the 20s (F). The heating system, one on each level, had to work hard to warm the place, but it got there. Our daughter enjoyed the opportunity to hone her pool (billiards) skills. As noted by others, the views of the sunset from the second floor balcony by the master bedroom were sublime.
Quick response of owner. Great views, had a great week!
This home is just as described and offered everything we needed. It was clean and ready for us. We cooked most meals ourselves and the kitchen was well equipped. We watched the sunset from the top balcony every night and it was spectacular. The neighborhood was quiet and relaxing and it felt as if we had the whole area to ourselves. This was the perfect getaway for our family of six.
It was the perfect house for our family. We loved so much to sit on the second floor deck for breakfast and for sunsets with a glass of wine. The home was spotless and spacious for our family to relax and enjoy Thank you so much for opening your home to us. Would recommend this home to anyone who is looking for a chill Florida vacation
Could have been cleaned couple days before we showed up instead of a month little dusty but I cleaned it o well good time
We stayed here around the same time last year and enjoyed the stay so much that we booked again this year. The property great for families, stocked with toys and a few feet from the beach that is very shallow for little ones. It’s only a block or so from a beautiful park and beach. The house is exactly as advertised and is ever bigger and better in person. Laura was a great host and communication before and during stay was great. We’ll be back again.
I love this house! This is a huge 3 level house near private beach. You can watch beautiful sunset on the deck or walk to beach. Note the living area is on level 2 and 3. Level 1 is basically for parking. House is very new and well furnished and decorated. Pros: Laura is very responsive for my questions during the stay. Lots of room. Spacious master bedroom on 3rd floor has two bathrooms with ocean view. Large decks on level 2 and 3. Full kitchen. BBQ on deck. Has a beautiful bar to enjoy your wine or liquor. Hardwood floors. Spacious parking. Quiet neighborhood. Near beach park on this pine island. Cons: None. Other things to note: You have walk up the stairs. There is a hose on level 1 to rinse off sand.
We had a great stay. The property and space was great for our family including our young kids. And the beach, playground, and restaurant were awesome for the whole family. We hope to return someday!
