Amazing place to stay

This property listing is very underrated. The property manager is very easy going and easy to get a hold of. They have anything you could think of needing there. The hot tub is the size of a small pool and you can’t beat the sunset views.

A Hidden Gem

The home exceeded all expectations. Very open floor plan with plenty of room. It is much larger than pictures shown. Home is well equipped for whatever you need. We have rented many properties over the years & this is by far the most well equipped. Very quiet & private, screened porch was used daily. Definitely will return. The ease of working with the host is the best we’ve encountered.

Holiday meet up🌴

The house was perfect for our trip. It was only a 20 minute drive to the ferry dock where we met up with friends staying on North Captiva. The house was very comfy and cozy with plenty of room for everyone. We enjoyed the hot tub both morning and at night. We were able to walk to the general store as well as to Froggys and Phizzy’s. Both places had good food and live music! It’s a quaint and quiet location. We would definitely stay again.

We absolutely fell in love with this property! Luis and his family thought of everything! So well equipped, so comfortable. Access to canal for fishing was great. So peaceful and quiet. Restaurants a short golf cart away if we wished to eat out or go out for a drink. Bait shops were very close. Grocery and produce just a short car ride.

Fourth stay at this property!

What can we say that we haven’t said before? This place is the best! Roomy, clean, convenience combined with very responsive hosts. The outdoor living area/bath/kitchen is a great bonus area. Inside is bright, cheery, and exceptionally clean. The oversized jacuzzi is perfect for after boat cooking off and lounging. The boat lift is very convenient. Kayaks, pedal boat, and fishing from the seawall offer all the water sports you could ask for. Convenient to many restaurants, and sandbars. Fishing in the area is amazing. Thank you again Trens family. We appreciate you and your amazing property.

Very nice

Stayed here for four nights with husband and two small pups. Nice, walkable neighborhood with friendly people. The house was very clean and the kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked. The primary bathroom shower is nice and strong and heats quickly. The kitchen and living room are spacious. The primary bed was very comfortable. The screened in porch was nice but the screen had tears which allowed mosquitoes and no seeums to enter. I got very bit up - word to the wise- take bug spray and use it liberally! We enjoyed having the golf car and the pool spa. Four nights was just enough time here as there are not a ton of things to do in Saint James City. We enjoyed our stay!

One of my favorite vacation's ever!

Three adults in our party 50 plus. We loved this place! The kitchen has lots of stuff to cook with and a gas stove inside and outside. Two refrigerators with ice and water on the door. That made my day as we are big ice water consumers. The house is huge and the two main bedrooms are on opposite sides of the house so that was nice for privacy. It is beautifully decorated. The beds were very comfortable. We spent most of the time outside on the screened in porch when we were not out fishing. There is a tv and full kitchen out there. We cooked inside just because the kitchen inside is so nice. The spa tub was my favorite to be in at sunset and soak in the beauty. Lots of wildlife in the water of the canal and bird watching. They have a huge amount of waterfront being on the corner. It was very peaceful. The boat lift was awesome for us and the boat ramp is close by. The golf cart was fun for a quick trip to the store. There is a very nice fresh fish store there also with lots of yummy looking stuff. If you need fishing tackle there is a nice store for that also. We found some amazing spots to fish or beach it. It’s amazing how the island has recovered from the hurricane. This place is Tranquility!

Truly Amazing!

The house itself was great. It was spotless. There was a large open area including the kitchen, family room, and dining area, with plenty of a windows to give a view of the canal. The kitchen had new-high end appliances. We had never stayed in a manufactured home before so we were not sure what to expect. It was extremely specious with high ceilings. There is an enclosed lanai with plenty of seating and a TV. There is a long dock, with seating, allowing for fishing and watching the wildlife. Using the huge hot tub at the end of each day was perfect. By the dock is a gas grill and a charcoal grill. We would grill out every night while looking out over the water. We saw an amazing display of wildlife. There was a bald eagles nest a few doors down, 2 large and colorful iguanas would sunbath in a tree across the canal. We saw dolphins and even a few manatees swim by. There are 2 tiki bars a few blocks away and it was great to take the golf cart there. We wanted to take a family trip that seemed like we were visiting a tropical island, and this definitely was even better than we were imagining. Luis is a great host. He was friendly and very responsive to communicate with. I cannot recommend this property enough for anyone looking for an island getaway. My family can't wait to go back.
