Saint James City House | Laid Back Old Florida Style Home with Pool and Hammock Gardens

4 Bedroom House in Saint James City, St James City

Welcome!! Fish & Sips is a gorgeous, "Old Florida" style home located on Pine Island. It is a hidden gem for fishing and the adventurous type!
The house is much roomier than it appears from the outside. With 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, it boasts high ceilings and an open layout with 1800sq ft+ of air conditioned space. It also offers a breezy, open front porch along with a large screened lanai area enclosing back deck, master deck and the heated, saltwater pool area with gas grill.
A well stocked kitchen with coffee maker with capability of full carafe or K-cups, toaster, blender, Kitchen Aide Stand Mixer, convection oven and so much more, lends itself to vacation meal making. There is also an outdoor table with running water for fish cleaning on home side.
The master suite is the highlight of the bedrooms and bathrooms boasting a large and open space with a king sized bed and sofa, French doors open out to a small garden deck overlooking pool area where morning coffee can be shared while watching the sun rise. The dreamy master bath area has a double sink, glass enclosed shower and what we refer to as the "cereal bowl", a beautiful. round pedestal soaking tub. With a tankless water heater and the solid surface tub, you can enjoy a nice steamy bath after a long hike or beach day or just linger in a bubble filled tub on a rainy day!
Plenty of books and games along with smart TVs in living room and all bedrooms to keep you busy should you encounter imperfect weather.
The home feels much larger than it is with the high ceilings and open layout. The home vibe exudes island living and relaxation with a comfortable and tastefully decorated beach and fishing theme throughout.
Just 3 blocks away from water access for kayaking and fishing, is Tropical Point Park.
The gorgeous islands of Captiva and Sanibel are a short drive away and can be accessed even quicker by boat with Sanibel being visible from the bottom of St James City. You may also take the Ferry out of Pineland marina to Cayo Costa for a relaxing day on one of the areas unspoiled and most pristine beaches.
We offers kayaks for use as well as bikes and two scooters. There is some fishing equipment, beach chairs, beach umbrella, beach towels, binoculars and beach bags for use.
Last but not least explore our island along with Matlacha Island for shops, marinas, bait and tackle and many incredible restaurants and bars!

Summary: Suzi was the perfect host. Communication from her was on point. The house and environment created for guests as a home away from home was perfect for our family or 7. We enjoyed the well stocked kitchen, the decorations around the property, the comfort of the inside and outside amenities, and the pool/lanai. We are grateful to have had the opportunity to create ever-lasting memories with our family!

Summary: This home is beautifully decorated, warm and welcoming. We enjoyed everything about it. Situated on a quiet, private lot with Tropical Point park right down the street, the location is awesome. We stayed for two months and enjoyed the kayaks, bikes and beautiful pool. Pine Island is one of our favorite places and we have stayed here before but this home was the absolute best ever. The fishing is fantastic too! Suzi and Rick are the friendliest, most responsive hosts. Thanks for sharing your home. Looking forward to making more memories there.

Summary: I highly recommend staying at this beautiful house. We are already counting down until we can come back! The house has everything you could need - great kitchen, beautiful lanai, and the pool is amazing. Not to mention the beautiful landscaping - Suzi has a green thumb and it shows! They also provide bikes, kayaks, fishing gear, beach chairs…everything you could need. Suzi is an amazing host, she is very easily accessible and gave us so many amazing recommendations for dining and activities. I asked Suzi if she could have a bottle of champagne in the fridge for us on our arrival to celebrate the honeymoon - she and Rick went above and beyond with big bottle of champagne and boxes of beautiful and delicious pastries and desserts (which we ate much quicker than I’d like to admit!) A day trip to Cayo Costa is an absolute must, the beach is gorgeous there. There are also so many fantastic restaurants. We especially loved the Perfect Cup for coffee on Matlacha, the Tarpon Lodge on Pine Island for our last dinner to celebrate (the meal was unbelievable), and if you go to Sanibel you have to go to the Pecking Order for some excellent fried chicken. We were so happy to spend our honeymoon here and highly recommend renting from Suzi and Rick!

Summary: This property was exactly what we saw online. The area was quiet and very peaceful. We found the home was well kept, stocked with all necessary items to cook. The owner was quick to respond and very kind. They even gave us ideas of places in the area to take the kids for sightseeing. It was fun to kayak with the provided kayaks at tropical point park which was very close to the property. Overall was a fantastic place and our family would love to visit again. Thank you

Summary: We had 4 Adults on our vacation. This house is exactly as described. Very homey! It is decorated very nicely with all sorts of beach and seashore decor. Beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed the pool, screened in back porch and the front porch in the evening when cooler. We had 90 degree days but the winds were higher when we were there so we didn't get a chance to take the kayaks to the close by boat launch. But we did take them to the Galt preserve (close by) one day and a few other places since we had a truck rental. We road the bikes in the neighborhood one night. Kitchen was stocked with extras, like spices, coffee(at least until we could get more), sugar, paper towels and tp. We saw an Osprey in the tree enjoying his catch in the tree above the pool one morning, little newts or lizards, a few got in the the porch area, so cute. Bunny and squirrels enjoy the jungle like area behind the pool area, very serene. Lots of plants! This is my favorite place we have stayed on vacation with VRBO!! I just wish the beach was a little closer

Summary: We spent a week at the Baskin’s property. It was a most relaxing stay. We spent most of our days in the pool. They had plenty of beach towels available. The kitchen was well appointed, everything for cooking was available including a gas grill. We used the bikes to check out the neighborhood. They also had kayaks available to use and the launch area was just down the road. You could even use the bikes to tow the kayaks. The house was very professionally designed, all bedrooms offered plenty of storage. Every where you looked there was a cool beachy item. Plenty of space, lots of things to do & well appointed. We would return to this property and recommend it highly.
