Welcome to your perfect getaway on Pine Island, where relaxation meets adventure! Our beautifully remodeled home in Bokeelia, FL, is available for short and long-term rentals, and we’d to host you.
Location & Travel:
Fly into RSW (Ft. Myers, FL), then enjoy a scenic 45-minute drive to Pine Island, a hidden gem in Southwest Florida. Pine Island is a tranquil retreat, offering small-town charm with endless opportunities for relaxation and outdoor fun.
Pine Island actually consists of 5 separate communities: Matlacha Island (Mat-la-shay), Pine Island Center, Bokeelia (Bo-keel-ya), Pineland and St. James City. Each treasures its own distinctive history and ambiance.
But whatever your plans, be forewarned. As the sign at the Bridgewater Inn advises, “Island Time Begins Here.”
There are no traffic lights, schools or churches on this tiny isle, and while cheerful and friendly, the 750 or so year-round residents are rarely in a hurry. So kick back, check your worries and cares at the foot of the Matlacha Pass Bridge, and prepare to have a relaxed, slow-paced, old-fashioned good time.
