About this property

Are you looking for old Florida.? Lower heart rate? No high rises/ traffic?

This Florida style home is for guests who want to relax and unwind. It is located on a quiet street and the refreshing back yard borders a beautiful mango orchard. Freshly remodeled in a classic style with calming decor, cozy back porch and a large back yard. Close to the marina and within walking distance from Jug Creek Marina which has a restaurant, boat tours, fishing charters, and a seafood market. The next street has a reasonably priced kayak rental business and a boat ramp. The next door neighbor, Alex Coomer, is a boat captain and takes 1/2 day sightseeing and fishing trips. He always seems to catch fish! There is a nice Weber Grill right outside the back porch to cook your freshly caught (or bought ) dinner.

A highlight of Bokeelia....the one fin dolphin named UNO or Sunshine can many times be seen at a local dock and in a local waterway and is quite chattie and flirtacious. Hang your feet over the dock and see what happens. Time well spend indeed!

Two comfortable bicycles are provided with the rental.

Fly into Fort Myers or Punta Gorda for closest airports, which are about 1 hour away. Car rental a must unless you want to ride our bikes everywhere!

Sanibel about 1 hour and 20 minutes by car away, and Captiva is another 20 minutes on top of that. You could also op for a ferry ride to these islands in addition to Gaspirilla,, Boca Grande, Cabbage Key and others. Caya Costa, usually a highlight, is closed for repairs due to Hurricane Ian. The Tropic Star ferry regularly makes trips to outer islands. Tarpon Lodge, a historic inn in Pineland, approx a 15 minute drive, has live music and great food for a special treat!

Bokeelia is located on Pine Island, which has fresh fruit stands, food trucks, several restaurants, a few grocery stores, a pharmacy, gas station, thrift stores, a barber, library, tennis courts, community pool, and a golf course. If you want to stay out of the rat race then drive here and don' t leave!

Country Setting Home

This home is in a country setting, and is comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to cook every day, which was a nice surprise. However, there is no garbage disposal and the water and ice through the door does not work on the fridge. The bathrooms were clean and comfortable. Overall this house suited our needs.

Could be way better

Dated, needs a real remodel, not a cover up of old.Shower curtain wouldnt stay up!Ice maker didnt work.No ironCould have provided creamer and coffee packets for weekend stays. Understandable not to for longer stays. But short stays its a little bit expected to not have to go buy coffee essentials. Wouldn't book again.

Fantastic, knowledgeable and accommodating Hostess!

I contacted the property owner before the trip with questions about local shopping and eating. The hostess gave me a great variety of information. Our trip was delayed due to the airline and the communication with the hostess was easy. We encounter an issue with the property but she was easy to contact and tried to be accommodating. The property itself had everything you could need. She informed us they were working on updating some items like electrical and fixtures etc. The house was clean, the bedding was clean and the bathrooms as well. The property is located on Pine Island which is quieter and less busy than others. Overall, a good stay if it weren’t for the airline & weather! LOL

Lovely stay

We were so impressed with the home. It was very clean, a quiet environment, and supplies were a plenty. The location backed onto an orchard, it affords privacy. The location was nice as it was away from the busy areas like Ft Meyers. The neighborhood is safe, maintained , and quiet. Due to the hurricane there is a lot of construction traffic. Staying in Bookeia we were able to avoid it. There is a Publix Grocery nearby so we could eat in as much as desired. There are state beaches in Sanibel and Port Charlotte. We enjoyed those visits.

Very clean and comfortable. Convenient and located in a quiet neighborhood. Communication with Jane, the owner was easy. Appreciate their turning on the exterior and interior lights before we arrived, especially since our arrival was even later than expected. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again.

The property was clean and decorated in a warm welcoming manner. I felt comfortable immediately. I especially enjoyed sitting on the lanai in the morning and the mango trees. Jane is an excellent hostess who considers her guests comfort and enjoyment of her property.

About the host

Hosted by Jane Wollfe

Host profile image
Glenn and Jane are professionals who travel the world when not working. They own a house in Sedona Arizona and a few on Chincoteague Island, Virginia. Recently they bought this house in Bokeelia from Jane's daughter who moved to Hawaii. Jane fell in love with the slow pace of Bokeelia and since she is not retired, decided to share it with others, especially her good friend Gail who is an interior designer and spent summer weeks visiting relatives in Bokeelia as a kid. The whole team, including friends and family of Glenn, Jane and Gail appreciate a well decorated home and spent numerous hours bringing this home back to life! Here's to relaxing and enjoying a stay at the "Mango View Hideaway!"
