Great Stay-cation

We had such a wonderful visit to St James. We went by boat from Port Charlotte and the location was ideal! The house was well equipped and spacious and the heated pool was wonderful after each day of fishing. We will definitely be back!!

Perfect staycation

We are Florida residents and wanted a waterfront home with dockage for a long weekend staycation and could not have been happier! My mother and sister along with myself and my daughter stayed here for three nights and wish we could’ve extended it! The boat lift was such a great bonus and very short idle out to the gulf. Maria was so easy to deal with, answered all of my questions before our stay and even a couple small questions during our stay. The view was fantastic, and the upper deck was a perfect place just to sit and watch the boats go by in the morning with a roll down shade to block the sun in the late afternoon.. The heated saltwater pool was great! So refreshing after a day on the boat. We will for sure be back to stay again.

Little Paradise

From start to finish, it was so easy to work with the host. We had a flawless stay and loved the property, saltwater pool, kayaks, and bikes immensely! The community seems really welcoming and tight-knit. We fell in love with St. James City and are eager to plan our next trip to this property.

Spring Break Retreat

My family had an amazing time at this property. The house is beautiful, impeccably clean, and had everything you would ever need for a stay. We enjoyed the pool and fishing off the back dock. A bit of a drive to the beach and obviously still a lot of rebuilding going on in the area due to Hurricane Ian. The neighbors were friendly as well We will DEFINITELY be renting this property again.

Beautiful Canal Home

My family of 5 stayed for a week. We rented a boat and used the lift, which was convenient. The house is in a great location for being on the open water and close to restaurants in St James, in a quiet neighborhood, VERY clean and had every amenity we needed. My teenagers swam in the pool and said it was very warm (which is nice in February). The owner was very responsive to all of my questions. I highly recommend staying here!

Beautiful House

Very clean and nicely furnished. Towels, sheets, pillows, and mattresses were all top notch. The dock has spring lines for easy tie up, or you can use the lift. Quick access to the sound and the gulf. The only suggestion we would make is that it would be nice to have a toaster in the kitchen.

Absolutely PERFECT!

We absolutely loved this house! From the moment we walked in we were impressed by the cleanliness, the fresh updated appearance, all of the amenities and the great location & view. The pool, dock, boat lift, and canal access were all better than advertised. We will 100% be returning next year (maybe sooner!) I should also mention that the host, Maria, was very hospitable and easy to work with, we can’t thank her enough!

Beautiful Home, Great Location, Clean Pool

My wife and I brought our 5-month old for our first family vacation. The home was fully equipped with everything we needed. This place is as advertised! The Dock and pool made took everything over the top. As said in previous reviews, the island is rebuilding yet the people on the island are resilient and welcoming. Will definitely be back, and hopefully with my own boat next time!

Great quiet location

The property isbexactly what I was looking for. It was in a quieter area on Isla Majures, which is what I wanted for part of my stay. The host was excellent,responded to all my questions immediately. The condo was very clean and comfortable and I would highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a peaceful area. The bus also stops right out front and takes 15min to town(20 pesos) My only recommendation would be to have a guest information sheet along with a few suggestions

Our fantastic gulf getaway!

We walked in to a beautiful home parked in driveway walked upstairs to front door, which was GREAT because your views are all outstanding. I wish I could post a pix of the view from my kitchen window. The lovely, heated saltwater pool followed up by the canal behind it. It was peaceful. It was warm and sunny. H house was equipped with everything you need to make it a little fun getaway. We even brought our two dogs and they loved it. Plenty of places to walk them too!
