About this property

3 bed, 3 bath home, heated/cooled pool on quiet canal. Quick boat access to gulf

Treehouse is a well appointed comfortable three bedroom three bathroom home, with a heated pool, situated on a tranquil canal. It as the pictures show (December 2022).

The house features hardwood floors and cathedral ceilings. The ample windows flood the home with light, and provide views of the mangroves leading to the bay.
The property is five minutes by boat to Pine Island Sound (and some of the best fishing in Florida) and three minutes by car to local waterfront restaurants and the general store.

Inside, the Treehouse has all the amenities you would expect; high capacity washer and dryer; high end appliances; custom kitchen and wifi and cable TV. Downstairs, there is a large covered area for outside dining with a picnic table and gas barbecue next to the pool and dock. The pool receives sun until late afternoon, with lots of covered areas for when it gets too hot. The dock has space for a 30' boat and the 5000lb lift may be available for a fee.

The home feels spacious and inviting - 14 foot ceilings and french doors opening out onto a wide porch which faces east, so you can sit and have coffee watching dawn break over the trees and canal.

The shaded area under the house adjoins the pool deck and has access to an air-conditioned room and bathroom. This is the perfect place for eating outdoors, or hanging out in the shade.

The pool is surrounded by palms - Travellers, Arecas and Foxtails, and leads to the large dock (composite, so no splinters in bare feet.) Off the dock you can catch sheepshead, trout, jack and snook, or just sit in the sun and watch manatees and the occasional dolphin (if you bring your boat, the lift may be available on request).

The neighbourhood is quiet and calm with ample places to cycle or stroll. You are less than 5 minutes by car to Woody's, The Waterfront, The Low Key Tiki, The Ragged Ass, The General Store, the small local fish market and the local hardware store. There's even shaded parking for your car, so it won't be 4 million degrees inside when you need to go to the store.

The canal leads directly to San Carlos Bay (southern Pine Island Sound). Take a kayak and you'll find a broad sheltered bay with hidden mangrove trails. Take a boat and on your way to the Sound, you'll pass people who've travelled miles to fish minutes from your dock.

Within 10 minutes of leaving the dock you'll be at the southern tip of Pine Island, deciding to turn East to the Gulf, Fort Myers Beach and the Caloosahatchee, or West to Sanibel, Captiva, North Cap, Cayo Costa and the Gulf beaches, plus some of the best flats and pass fishing on the planet.

About the host

Hosted by Anton Savage

Host profile image
This is our vacation home and we try to make guests love it as much as we do. We’ve been coming to the area for 40 years and spend as much time as we can on the water. If there’s anything you need to know about the area, what to do, where to fish, where to eat or which are the best beaches to anchor at, we’ll do our best to guide you.

Why they chose this property

We built this home in 2006 and designed it to be as welcoming, spacious and well appointed as we we could make it. Hardwood was used for floors, ceilings and kitchen, composite decking for porch, stairs and dock. We also made it safe - 160mph hurricane windows throughout.

The home is in a lovely quiet neighbourhood with friendly neighbours. It's peaceful and private and lets you make the most of this beautiful area - you have ample shade to sit outside, but an air-conditioned space is always close by. You have privacy but lovely views and you've great access to the restaurants of Saint James City and the fishing of Pine Island Sound.

What makes this property unique

The home brings the outside inside. The shaded porch lets you sit under a fan and watch the world and wildlife go by. By the pool you can bake in the sun or move a few feet to blissful shade. And if it gets too hot you can go inside and watch TV while the Queen palm and White Bird of Paradise sway outside the window.
