Bokeelia reminds me of the Florida I remember from the 60's. Great place away from the crowds and traffic.

This comfortable, cozy studio is located in a quiet, residential neighborhood of beautiful homes - minutes away from gorgeous views of the Gulf. Jennifer was very responsive to my questions and updates regarding arrival, etc. When I arrived, Jennifer and her husband greeted me and I was given a walk-thru of the space where I'd be staying. The space is exactly as pictured… clean, organized … and a patio and heated pool steps outside your living area -- what a wonderful amenity. I took advantage of the gorgeous weather and sat in the pool for a few hours. Jennifer and her husband were very respectful of my space - it felt like my own private retreat. This was a quick overnight for me, so the little 'extras' meant so much- an assortment of samples in the bathroom so I didn't have to unpack my shampoo, soap, lotion, etc. Also, as the previous guest mentioned, the use of a washer and dryer is wonderful. I brought home a suitcase of clean clothes:) Thank you Jennifer and Greg - it was truly a wonderful stay and I look forward to staying in your place the next time I am in Florida - hopefully very soon!

Place is great to relax Really clean and quiet Pool and outdoor shower are a plus. Would totally choose the place again if I'm around the area

If you want peaceful solitude, this is the place for you! Jennifer and Greg gave me absolute privacy to enjoy the pool and wonderful outdoor shower. Everything was clean and they thoughtfully provided a fridge stocked with bottled water, a microwave and a coffee pot with all the necessities! As long as you are desiring the rustic charm of Old Florida, and not expecting The Ritz, you will love this place! Note: there aren't a lot of restaurants in the immediate vicinity so be prepared to drive 10-20 minutes for food and entertainment. It's worth it though! Don't miss the ferry to Cayo Costa State Park (an unspoiled 9-miile beach), the adorable shops and restaurants of Matlacha (try Micelli's ... Italian... outdoor seating on a canal and live music!) or Cap'n Con's (the closest watering hole I found) for a substantial breakfast. Of course the 'civilization' of Ft. Myers isn't far either... but I'll bet you won't need it! Enjoy!

Jennifer has set up a very pleasant experience. Jennifer greeted us on arrival and took a few minutes to provide a solid orientation. Comfortable accommodations. Lots of conveniences. Things to do in the area. Nice pool for total relaxation. Don't underestimate the convenience of laundry.

A bit of old Florida Charm...

This is an ideal home base for exploring the outer islands and experiencing the rich diversity of old Florida. Truly charming. Great hosts.

We loved the private heated pool. The set up is quite ideal and Jennifer and her husband were very accommodating to our needs. They met us when we wants to check in and were easy to communicate with. The space is very cute and there are a lot of extras in case you forgot anything. You can't beat the location if you want to explore Charlotte Harbor and visit Cayo Costa or other islands. We enjoyed a day trip via ferry and found excellent shells. On the way home we stopped at the local fish market right on the waterfront and purchased a bag of fresh shrimp and key lime pie. The restaurants around the Pine Island area were a bit overpriced and crowded so it was nice to have a meal in. We asked Jennifer if we could cook on our camping stove, and she was open to it. There wasn't anything we didn't like about this rental. They had everything we needed. We loved their adorable dog. He was so sweet!

Great place and clean. My girlfriend and i had a wonderful experience. Make sure you vist cayo costa state park its amazing. Karen is very helpful. It's listed as an entire place, but her step daughter lives on the ground floor.

Karen is a very gracious host. She keeps a very clean house and has provided us with everything we ephod need for a very enjoyable stay. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a family getaway in this very quaint town.

This is our second time to spend Christmas in the area. The house is spacious, clean, and very comfortable. The kitchen is complete, with witch we well enjoyed seafood. The owner is a very nice and helpful couple, sharing their knowledge and experience on the island with us. We also paddled their kayaks around the bay, which is big, beautiful and quiet. The house is close to Tropical Star Ferry to Cayo Costa State Park, a very pristine and wonderful island. The ferry also sells fresh grouper, snapper, pompano, shrimp, and so on, great for seafood lovers. We would love to come back again!

A wonderful property with all of the amenities needed for Island Life! Having the Cayo Costa Ferry and Jug Creek Marina near by was a great peek into island life! Plenty of room for 4-6 people. The Owners are nearby for assistance with questions. Cannot wait to come back!

The apartment is spotless and was perfect for our needs. Parking under the carport was very convenient -- literally 2 steps to the door. Check in super easy with lock box and code. We were mainly just sleeping there but you could do fishing in the area. We did rent bikes and the paths are well marked. Very nice place. It is a decent drive (30-45) minutes to Fort Myers and Punta Gorda but very nice roads and little traffic. Matlacha is a cute town maybe 10 min away with restaurants and ice cream.

Capt. Tim's place was great and would recommend that anyone looking for a place to stay while on a fishing adventure look this way as you could not find a better place to stay and head out for an adventure.

We really enjoyed staring at Capt. Tim's. He was extremely helpful with everything and a wonderful host. The house, dock, and neighborhood were all very relaxing and we are so glad we picked here to stay! Thanks for everything!

This was the perfect escape and island experience. The neighborhood was nice and quit, and we had a lot of fun exploring the area on our boat. The hosts were friendly and accommodating. They live upstairs and the rental is on the bottom floor with its own entrance. It was the perfect size for the 3 of us. It was very clean and we liked the way it was decorated. This would be great for anyone looking to get away, plus you have access to their boat dock. My husband did some fishing while we were there and he caught a few snappers and trout. We will be back it was a very nice experience and we enjoyed it a lot.

This is a comfortable place, suitable for two people. The patio dining and gas grill are especially nice, as are the chairs on the boat dock.

Frequent and helpful communication from the host! Wonderful bed for resting. Good books to read, too!

Perfect spot, exactly as described!

Beautiful location, quiet retreat! Everything you might require is available on the island. Photography buffs will love the possibilities for great seaside photos.

Windmere Cove is wonderful place to stay in Bokeelia! It was easy to walk to great spots for viewing the sunset and sunrise. We enjoyed staying on the island, very relaxing and Peter's place is clean and quiet. There is a lovely screened in porch to sit and enjoy some coffee and there are 2 pools at the property. Peter was quick to respond and provided a helpful guidebook prior to our visit. He also left us some breakfast goodies for our stay and let us know we could contact him if we needed anything. We really enjoyed our stay!

Wonderful place to stay! Would definitely return!

The location was excellent and as advertised. It was a nice get away for a quiet weekend with friends. Charles was a great host. Communication was excellent and his written guide for the area was amazing. His knowledge of the fishing and the local islands along with his many kayaks can't be beat. We will be back.

We rented Charles's house for 3 days looking for something new while visiting family in Florida. This was the perfect place for us. The house was extremely comfortable and is located on a canal. Charles gave us access to his boats and paddle board to go explore the neighboring islands, which was amazing. Paddle boarding next to wild dolphins is definitely a highlight of my trip. Bokeelia is a quick ferry ride from other island beaches like Cayo Costa. Would most definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for a peaceful fun and relaxing stay.

The booking was as described two bedroom on canal with kayaks and bikes deck etc it was the failed to mention things that disappointed myself and our friends. Second bedroom in basement was so damp and musty that I would never sleep in the room so all of us slept in main bedroom which was quite comfortable. Many kayaks but only two functional paddles according to my friends who own two sea kayaks. No Seeums that were not mentioned until after we had paid for the place a week later my friend still has bite marks. It is an interesting location but not worth the money.

Charlie is a great host. Very easy to reach. The place was quiet and as described. There is very good wifi and satellite tvs. Very easy to kayak out on the multiple kayaks provided. We fished every day off the dock and enjoyed the place very much.

Charles sent us multiple pages of helpful information about the house and area before our arrival so we knew what to expect. The house was exactly as described and was very comfortable in a nice quiet setting. We took the two person kayak out to the park on the nearby island and it was a great experience... no one but us at the park and the palms, mangroves and flowering trees. I recommend his place.

Charles was a very attentive host. Having a fishing boat at my disposal was great. The house is comfy and old school florida. The are is quiet and secluded. Great to get away from it all.

The home was extremely clean and properly stocked with everything that we needed for the weekend. Charlie was on the property within 30 minutes of our arrival and assured that we knew everything there was to know about the house, the boat and the surrounding neighborhood/restaurants.

My stay was exactly what I hoped for. I was welcomed and made to feel at home. Any questions I had were promptly answered. I loved eating breakfast on the screened porch and watching the pelicans do their thing. The kayaks were a lot of fun to take out into Jug Creek. Everything was clean, worked well and the bed was comfortable! The bluetooth sound system was awesome while I was getting ready to head to the beach or relaxing before bed. I saw so many dolphins and osprey! I took the boat to the beach at Cayo Costa and it was the best beach experience I've had! A manatee went right under the boat at anchor! So many amazing shells and it wasn't crowded. Would I go back? For sure!

Awesome view. Great place to stay. Condo is very nice

The house was very nice and had a great view of the canal. It was relaxing to sit in the screened porch and look out at the water. Throughout our stay April made no in-person or telephone contact. When we left, April sent an e-mail reminding us to be out by 10 am, then was upset that we did not ask how to check out. I wish I had responded to April’s e -mail by stating that we would be out by 10 am as requested. On the other hand, April could have picked up the phone and called.

The apartment was exactly as described. I loved the view off of the screened porch area. The neighborhood is quiet with dock access to the canals if you have a boat. I would definitely stay again!

This was our first time in Bokeelia and found it to be a very refreshing place to visit! It is a town off the beaten path with lots of fishing and boating nearby. There is a small town not too far away where there are places to eat and stores to shop. The rental apartment itself although a bit outdated, was spotless and fulfilled our need to cook a couple of meals, lounge away on the enclosed lanai or just sit on a chair near the canal. It is much larger than pictured. We were there this past week and the weather was perfect! The property manager, April, did an outstanding job of making us feel right at home adding her special touches to the rental! She was nearby but not intrusive at all. We knew she was there if we needed her! Thank you again April!

April was a wonderful hostess and made us feel very welcome. She was so good to answer every text and when our plane was late, she accommodated our arrival. The place is so beautiful and there are so many things to do close by.

The rental house was beautiful, comfortable, and clean. The kitchen was extremely well stocked for cooking meals. Our kids spent hours swimming in the pool. It was a truly and relaxing and lovely vacation. We look forward to coming back.

We had a great week at Cristiana's beautiful house. It is in a very peaceful spot but a little hard to find. The house was clean and comfortable. The kids loved the pool.

The house was as expected: i.e. as it is described. It is charming, of good quality, well maintained and easy to use. We had a relax time in it. Beds are comfortable and the bathrooms are well stocked with products. The swimming pool is checked once a week and is a nice feature (maybe could be slightly warmer, just a little bit). We had one leak with the air conditioning in the garage. The host shut it down remotely. Then the tomorrow when we called her to enquire, she put in back on and the leak was stopped. As the weather was not too hot and the fans are powerful it was a small inconvenience. The area is very quiet. We did not know Pine Island. It is very very quiet, the rare restaurants close very early. We knew there were no beach close by. We had rented a boat in St James City and enjoyed the sea and the islands from there. In conclusion: a nice house for a quiet stay: if you want that your teenagers have fun make sure you have organised/booked activities.

This home was beautiful and well-equipped. The hosts were thoughtful and stocked the rental with plenty of amenities.

This is a gorgeous, clean and well-maintained house. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. There is plenty of space inside. The beds were very comfortable. Any type of furnishing you could imagine is provided. The owners are so kind and thoughtful. Instructions, info and communication was clear, prompt and concise. I would highly recommend a stay here.

Everything was as advertised with one exception. The Comcast cable system was not working. It showed an eclectic mix of channels but no cable news stations and no ESPN and several other channels that are standard offerings on basic cable. A call to Christina to see if she could identify the problem went unanswered.

Absolutely beautiful property in a quiet neighborhood. Pool was a hit with my kids. Great communication and instructions for arrival and our stay. Our only wish was that it was closer to the beach but I knew the location of the property when booking. I would highly recommend this property and host for a great getaway!

This was our first experience with an Airbnb stay. We found working with Cristiana was a very pleasant experience. All information pertinent to our stay was clear, concise, and timely. Ultimately, Cristiana was not available for questions during our time at the house but she made sure we were aware ahead of our arrival and forwarded the contact information of the owners. The home was wonderfully equipped except for the lack of TV or music system in the main area. While it might have been nice to have we didn't miss the TV as it kept our small group of six focused on each other while we weren't exploring the Pine Island area. Our group had brought a wireless Bluetooth speaker so background music was not a problem. There were plenty of kitchen items for preparing most any meal and the home feels new. The Master Suite is large with jacuzzi bath and a unique, double entry, walk-in shower. The other two bedrooms are modestly sized yet have plenty of closet space. The shared bath is basic with tub/shower combination. Each bedroom has its own TV with a nice cable package. The appliances are above average and include a washer/dryer. The house comes with a wonderful pool and lanai area. The water is kept at a comfortable temperature. The area is screened by many trees and feels extremely private. The trees are home to a variety of birds and were a joy to watch. We were greeted with a note from the owners and a complimentary bottle of champagne. We did have a question for the owners and they were very prompt with a reply. All in all, our first Airbnb was a wonderful experience. The home is a perfect place from which to enjoy the old Florida Pine Island area.

Lovely home! Great Marina nearby to rent boats. Sharon was Wonderful. We really appreciated all of her details.

Leslie was a great host. The room was very comfortable, nicely decorated, quiet and clean. It was a great place to return to after a long day of adventure.

La Kabanita was truly a beautiful retreat for us. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Sitting outside enjoying the beautiful garden, palm trees and country breezes was just what I needed. We would love to come back again sometime. Exploring Pine Island was great! We had a lovely dinner at Tarpon Lodge, with a beautiful sunset. We also had a delicious meal and sunset at the Waterfront Cafe in St James City and enjoyed the best Key Lime Pie house made from a 50 year old recipe. And another great meal at Red's.

Loved staying here! The private entrance makes the space feel like more than just a private room but your own vacation bungalow. Spacious, clean, and well decorated with a everything you need in there.Check in/out was a smooth process and incredibly easy. Leslie greeted us and made great recommendations for the area. A bit of traffic to get in and out of the island however I was traveling during high season. I would definitely stay here again :)

Great experience! The accommodations and suggestions were superb! Leslie and her family were terrific hosts!

Leslie greeted us warmly as we arrived and told us the history of the area and made suggestions about what there is to do on Pine Island. We enjoyed the beautiful tropical plantings and flowers and the quiet surroundings. The snacks, water and paper products were helpful. Visitors may want to know that the bike path and bikes (guests need to furnish their own bikes contrary to what the ad lists) are not as easy to access as the website describes. Guests also need to be aware that accessing any sites on the island will require trips by car--not by strolling from the property. Helpful hints to Leslie: More lighting in the room would enhance the space (like back of bed for reading and at the table), more light outside our Kabinita as we return in the evening would make us feel more comfortable, helpful to check back in with the guests to see how they are faring during the week, making sure guests know cable TV access is NOT available, helpful if dogs are not allowed to nip at the guests or apology if they do, making guests aware that boating and kayaking are not available from the site or by renting owner's boat or kayak. We loved Bokeelia and your place--just did not realize how remote it is and that the relaxing is done in the front yard. Thank you.

This is a wonderful place to stay. The location is somewhat remote, so you must drive to grocery stores etc, or the beach. We met the family who were helpful and friendly but gave us privacy; they helped us plan our time; it was clean, light, quiet, warm; there was micro and frig, TV with netflix, DVD players; the host had left snacks, coffee , helpful vacation supplies like baggies, paper plates and silverware, extra toiletries ; there were fresh flowers in the room, and the towels were creatively folded like a swan--all special touches! This stay was memorable. We explored the nature and the nearby beaches and towns then came home to our lovely place of rest. Highly recommended.

The Kabanita was AWESOME! We walked into a beautifully welcoming space and it just got better from there! The property was secluded and serene and our hosts were available if we needed them but they allowed us our privacy. We were impressed with the room and I loved my morning meditation in their peaceful garden! Overall we completely loved the place, highly recommend it and plan on visiting again! Thank you Leslie and Joel for sharing your beautiful Kabanita!

If you like to see the night stars, hear the call of peacocks and other birds, and be surrounded by beautiful vegetation of many types, this is the place for you. The hosts have used the space to the maximum and provided many little extras to make our stay convenient and enjoyable. Leslie was wonderful about sharing info before our trip and educating us on the flora and fauna when we were there. The rental was extremely clean and nicely decorated. The bed was very comfortable and the outdoor seating gave us another option to enjoy our morning coffee. If you like pristine beaches, make reservations for the ferry to Cayo Costa, but make them early because it is a popular activity. Sanibel is about an hour away - the tram ride in the Ding Darling preserve is worth the money and Matlacha is great - don't miss the Lovegrove gallery. Too many local preserves to mention. It's a great area if you want to relax and do anything from nature related activities to shopping to biking or kayaking. We found the restaurants to be very reasonably price, with great options for local fish. We definitely would come back!

Excellent!

Just wonderful a real jewel of Bokeelia and making my reservations for next year 6 star place

A charming little bit of old Florida, quiet, private and restful. A short drive to great art (especially Wild Child), food (especially Blue Dog Cafe Bistro), and colorful shops in Matlacha. Fishing extremely good, jumping out of the water, tropical birds galore. Hosts were delightful, price reasonable and accommodations suitable. Thanks Sharon and family for a very special stay. Rob & Betsi Hilton

Great Host, very kind and friendly. We had a very warm welcome. Listing was accurate and the neighborhood was quite and pleasant. We wish we had couple of more days of our vacation to have been able to stay at the facility. We enjoyed our stay at the facility, it is spacious and well maintained. Our Best Wishes.

James et Miriam sont des hôtes parfaits. Excellente communication dès le début, et poursuivi tout au long de notre voyage. Ce bungalow privé est une belle maison avec une vue à couper le souffle. Nous avons été impressionnés par l'au-delà des équipements, le style, la mise en page et l'emplacement. Il y avait quatre d'entre nous (deux couples), et le décor était grand pour un petit groupe ou en famille. C'est un lieu magique et spécial, et un de nos meilleurs voyages encore. Je vous remercie!

This is a lovely home on a quiet private island. We were very comfortable in the surroundings and would recommend choosing this home. There is preplanning required to order/pickup your groceries and arranging transportation to the island. It is well worth the effort.

Host is excellent with tips you need to enjoy the house and surrounding islands and prepared us well and was available if needed

Un excellent choix pour se détendre et profiter des clés loin des plus occupés îles. La communication a été solide et l'endroit était parfait pour une famille de 5.

We had a wonderful experience and vacation! The house was beautiful, communication with the host was very good and the people on the island were very friendly and helpful.

valeur incroyable. L'île est l'un d'une sorte les hôtes sont super.
