About this property

Escape to Paradise – 3 Bedrooms, 2½ Baths, Private Pool & 60' Boat Dock

  • Leave the everyday behind and embrace island time at this stunning 3-bedroom, 2½-bath coastal retreat. From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into your own private paradise. Sip your morning coffee from the private balcony while taking in sweeping ocean views, or spend sun-filled afternoons lounging beside the sparkling private pool. Here, every moment is an invitation to slow down, unwind, and enjoy the vacation you deserve.

    Inside, the home blends modern comfort with effortless coastal charm. The fully equipped chef’s kitchen makes preparing family meals a breeze, while the bright, inviting living area is the perfect place to gather for family game nights, movie evenings, or simply relaxing after a day in the sun.

    Thoughtful amenities make your stay even more enjoyable, including a dedicated pool house complete with an ice machine—perfect for keeping those tropical drinks refreshingly cold. And because no family should have to leave a beloved four-legged friend behind, our pet-friendly, “paws-allowed” policy means everyone can join in the getaway.

    From morning coffee to sunset cocktails, this coastal retreat is designed for making memories, soaking up the sunshine, and enjoying every minute of island time.

Fantastic house on the water for our week of fishing. The host allowed us to use the dock to tie up our boats which helped tremendously. The home was very clean and in a great location. Quiet neighborhood and nice neighbors. 10/10, I would stay here again if I come back to Pine Island, FL.

Brand New and Beautiful

My husband and I brought his boat and we stayed for 2 weeks at White Sands. Boat launch is right down the road and house has a nice dock on the canal, heated pool, screened porch which we loved that overlooks the pool and waterway, beautiful kitchen, spacious living room and comfy beds. Definitely a 5 Star home.

Awesome House, Awesome Location

We were looking for a place that was near where we had other family staying and had three bedrooms (two with Kind beds), and found this house that was right on a canal that was close to the ocean and right down the street from where our other family was staying. The house felt brand new, and had all the amenities we needed for a two week stay, including a heated pool, well stocked kitchen and plenty of open spaces. The back of the house has a massive sliding glass door system that leads to a screened porch overlooking the canal, and we loved using the system to basically open up the main living area to the ocean breezes by sliding the doors to the side (each of the two three panel doors could be consolidated to one panel). No hassles with check-in or checkout. We couldn't have been happier with our choice of rental.

Alex was quick to respond and great to work with, making the entire process easy from start to finish. The home was awesome—very clean, comfortable, well-maintained, and beautifully cared for. The master suite was large and spacious with plenty of closet space, and the layout was very convenient for our family.The balcony-style screened-in porch overlooking the canal was a highlight. We saw manatees, dolphins, and other wildlife swimming right by, which made mornings and evenings incredibly relaxing. The house offered plenty of space for our group of five (two teens, a 21-year-old, my wife, and myself) and never felt cramped.The St. James area was fantastic, with several waterfront restaurants within walking distance. The island itself had a great, laid-back vibe and felt like its own little getaway. You really didn’t need to leave the island once you arrived, but if you did, additional restaurants and grocery stores were just a short drive away.The pool area was spacious with plenty of room to relax, and the dock was large and perfect if you bring a boat or have friends pick you up by water. Overall, this was an excellent stay in a great location, and we would absolutely stay here again.

Beautiful home!

My family stayed for a week and had a wonderful time! The house is beautiful and the location is amazing! St. James City provides access via boat to some of the most desirable beaches and islands, including Cayo Costa, Captiva, Sanibel and Boca Grande, while allowing you to stay out of the hustle and bustle of busy summer crowds. Alex did a great job communicating and addressing any questions. We definitely plan on returning.
