About this property

Coastal Escape | Pool | Hot Tub | Gulf Access | St. James City

  • Summary:

    Trade ordinary vacation days for island-style living at Coastal Escape, a stunning Saint James City waterfront retreat where heated-pool afternoons, sunset soaks in the hot tub, and adventures from your private dock set the tone. With two separate living spaces, two kitchens, and room for multiple families, this upscale getaway pairs space and privacy with sandy beach vibes, boating, fishing, and fun for the whole family—including your four-legged companions.



    The Space:

    Designed for gathering and relaxing, this beautifully appointed retreat offers four bedrooms across two private living spaces. The main level features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, an inviting living area, and a chef-inspired kitchen. The separate ground-floor suite includes its own bedroom, bathroom, living area, and full kitchen, providing added privacy for extended family or friends.



    Step outside to enjoy the large heated pool with a sun shelf, soothing hot tub, and spacious deck with chaise lounges. A sandy beach area, hammock, and porch swing create inviting spots to unwind, while the private dock offers convenient access to fishing and boating. Nearby beaches, islands, and sandbars make exploring the surrounding waters a highlight of your stay.



    Inside, upgraded kitchens and bathrooms, premium furnishings, and Smart TVs throughout add comfort and style. Fire up the BBQ grill for an outdoor meal, enjoy cocktails by the pool, or head out for a day on the water. Dog-friendly touches, including a doggy door and poop bag dispenser, make it easy to bring your four-legged family members along.



    With generous gathering spaces, room for everyone to enjoy their own privacy, and exceptional outdoor amenities, this Saint James City escape sets the stage for a memorable Florida getaway.

    Pool & Spa Heating Terms & Conditions



    Pool and spa heating are available for an additional fee of $32 per day, plus tax. Guests must contact VueStay at least 72 hours before arrival to request heating.



    The pool is heated to a target temperature of 85°F, and the spa is heated to a target temperature of 102°F. These are desired temperatures, not guaranteed temperatures. Heating performance depends on outdoor weather conditions, and the pool and spa may not reach or maintain their target temperatures during periods of cold weather.



    Pool Heating & Weather Conditions



    The pool uses an electric heater that relies on outdoor air temperatures. Under favorable conditions, the heater can generally warm the pool to approximately 20°F above the outside air temperature. When outdoor temperatures drop to approximately 55°F or below, the heater may not operate effectively. During cold fronts and cooler periods, particularly from December through February, the pool may take longer to warm or may not reach or maintain 85°F.



    Outdoor temperatures, overnight lows, wind, rain, and other weather conditions can affect heating performance. The spa also depends on the heater's operating conditions and may take longer to reach or maintain its 102°F target during colder weather.



    The following historical averages can help you plan your stay. Actual temperatures may vary.

    Before Adding Pool & Spa Heat



    We strongly recommend checking the St. James City weather forecast shortly before your stay before deciding whether to purchase heating. Although Southwest Florida is generally warm, cold fronts can bring significantly lower temperatures, especially from December through February, which may reduce heating performance.

Awesome Quiet Island Time!

We really enjoyed this home. It’s two large homes in one. Perfect for our big family. We liked the close location to the bars and restaurants as well as short idle time out to the Intercoastal Waterway! We loved the house so much that we already rented it again for next year!

Great quiet getaway

Lovely spacious home located on a quiet canal. Plenty of room for us to both spread out as well as comfortably gather together . If you are looking for a loud active night life place, look elsewhere. If you want down time with your family, enjoying the pool, watching the manatees swim by and getting a great night’s sleep, this home was perfect.

Family Vacation

Pool, hot tub, 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms = perfect setup for our 6 person, all adult, family stay. Upstairs screen porch was our recap with cocktails at the end of each day location. The separate 'apartment' downstairs was great for my fairly newlywed son and daughter in law to have some separation. Loved looking for manatees swiming in the canal.

Family trip

We had a great time during our stay! We had several young kids and they were always entertained between the pool, the little sandy "beach," fishing, and going on our boats that we were able to take. Any time there was a question or concern the Vacasa team and the owner were very helpful and attentive.

Family trip

We had a great time during our stay. We had several young children and they were kept happy and entertained between the pool, "beach" area, fishing, and using our boats that were able to be docked (not in the boat lift). There was plenty of space for our family. Any questions or concerns were quickly addressed by the management company and the owner.

The house is beautifully appointed, private and on a nice canal. Within walking distance to the very nice marina. Rum Runners is great for lunch or dinner, on the water. So clean and the hosts are so very nice, attentive and respond very quickly. Very gracious hosts! The pool is a highlight and the spa heats up quickly. The game room is great, has a poker table and chips. The kitchen is amazing and totally stocked with everything you might need. They have weights and a ping pong table in the garage complete with a beautiful BMW you can rent from the hosts. We absolutely loved our stay and will go back. Cape Coral is very laid back and we enjoyed Fort Myers too. Great beach. Awesome Putt-Putt course in Fort Myers, 28 holes, very upper crust, $20/pp and you can feed the alligators there. (Smuggler’s Cove).
