Tropical Sunset | House in Saint James City
2 Bedroom House in Saint James City
Summary:
Tropical Sunset is a 2-bedroom, 2-bath waterfront retreat in Saint James City, a boater's paradise on the southern tip of Pine Island. Sip your coffee on the balcony above the canal, then run straight out to the Gulf from the shared dock — no bridges. Fishing, kayaking and island hopping start at the back door. A full kitchen, washer and dryer and room for the truck and trailer make it an easy Old Florida base. Sleeps 6 in the upstairs unit, up one flight of stairs.
The Space:
This bright second-floor waterfront home sits on a quiet canal with direct, bridge-free access to the Gulf, ideal for boaters, anglers and anyone who wants to slow down by the water. Wake up to canal views and take your coffee out onto the balcony.
Sleeping arrangements

On the water
🔹 Private balcony and patio with outdoor seating
🔹 Shared dock with direct, bridge-free access to the Gulf. The boat lift holds the owner's boat, so guests are welcome to tie up on the outside portion of the dock alongside it, or keep their boat on its trailer in the yard or driveway. Some of the area's best ramps are only a few minutes away
🔹 One kayak for guests to use
🔹 Charcoal BBQ grill and utensils
🔹 Garden and backyard
Good to know
🔹 The rental is the upstairs unit and is reached by one flight of exterior stairs
🔹 A permanent tenant lives in the separate downstairs unit; the carport, driveway, yard and dock are shared
🔹 Guests park on the left side of the carport, with room for about two more vehicles in the driveway. The right side of the carport belongs to the tenant, so please leave it clear
🔹 Boat trailers and RVs are welcome in the driveway. No street parking
🔹 The boat lift holds the owner's boat and is not part of the rental. Tie up on the outside portion of the dock
Guest Access:
Guests have the whole upstairs unit: both bedrooms, both bathrooms, the kitchen, the living and dining areas, the balcony and the dock.
The downstairs unit is a separate home with a permanent tenant, and the owner's closet in the primary bedroom is locked and off limits. The carport, driveway, yard and dock area are shared with the downstairs tenant, so park on the left side of the carport and please leave the right side clear for the tenant's vehicle. Leave your trash in the bins in the carport; the tenant puts them out on collection day.
You reach the unit by one flight of exterior stairs. Entry is by keypad code, sent to you before arrival.
The boat lift is in use by the owner's boat and is not included with the rental. You are welcome to tie up on the outside portion of the dock.
The Neighborhood:
Saint James City sits at the southern tip of Pine Island and is unapologetically an Old Florida boating and fishing town rather than a resort. Stilt houses and canal homes line the water, the pace is slow, and evenings are about sunsets rather than nightlife.
What's nearby
🔹 Local waterfront restaurants and bait shops: a few minutes away
🔹 Matlacha: galleries, seafood markets and restaurants about 20 minutes north
🔹 By boat: Sanibel, Captiva, Cayo Costa and Cabbage Key
🔹 Nature preserves: scenic spots for kayaking and wildlife watching
Worth knowing before you book: Pine Island has no beaches of its own. What it offers instead is exceptional access to the water.
Getting Around:
A car is essential, and so is a little patience: Pine Island connects to the mainland by a single road through Matlacha. Free parking is available on site.
🔹 Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW): about 1 hour by car
🔹 Cape Coral shopping: about 30 minutes
🔹 Matlacha: about 20 minutes north
🔹 Public transport: none on the island, and rideshare can be scarce
🔹 By boat: the best way to explore this stretch of coast
Other Things to Note:

🔹 Check-in: 4:00 PM
🔹 Check-out: 10:00 AM

🔹 A permanent tenant lives in the downstairs unit. Please keep the right side of the carport clear and be mindful of noise
🔹 Exterior cameras cover the carport, driveway, backyard and dock area. There are no cameras inside the home
