Pine Island - Turtle Cottage
Lovely home perfect for our purposes - a week working remotely. Several screened porches and a sunroom allowed for some variety during the day. Pine Island is very quiet but has a reasonable number of restaurants. Bikes were a nice add.

luxury, beachy vibes in paradise
we were lucky enough to stay at this property for 6 nights and it exceeded every expectation we had. the home is sparkling clean with tasteful layout and decoration. we particularly loved the screened in porches (there are 3 of them!) for reading, dining and simply drying our towels/bathing suits. personally i enjoyed the fact that the swimming pool was right next door and i enjoyed it every day of our visit with never another guest in sight! it was a great privilege to spend our valuable downtime here and we were so impressed that every creature comfort was thought of provided to us.

Turtle Cottage is great!
The property is neat and clean and the property manager made arriving and leaving seamless. The Pine Island Village site is quiet and off the main road. There is a bike trail, easily accessible, that traverses the 15 mile length of Pine Island. 2 bikes available.

WONDERFUL STAY
We had a wonderful time on Pine Island and the house was unbelievable. It had everything we needed and more. Quiet neighborhood, close to everything, well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds. There was a binder full of suggestions on Things To Do. For those new to the area, stop by the Welcome Center and be sure and grab a quesadilla from the food truck next to the Welcome Center.

Nice cottage for a fun getaway
I'd never heard of Pine Island before our stay there. It turned out to be a great place for a winter getaway. There's really no true beach on the island but we didn't mind. We found so much to do on all parts of the island - small galleries and unique restaurants kept us busy as did the pool right next door to the property. Even though the temps were in the 60's - 70's, the sun was shining and we got a good dose of vitamin D. The cottage itself is very well laid-out with plenty of neat spaces for sitting (three screened in porches were awesome). The kitchen is well appointed and great for cooking. Overall it was a great cottage in a great location and I'd very much consider coming back here in the future. Our host was very attentive and responsive. She even left us a bottle of wine to share which was great! Travel delays got us into the cottage very late (1 am), so a glass of wine before bed hit the spot (as did the chunky monkey ben and jerry's ice cream in the freezer). Great host, great property!

A gem on Pine Island
This was a great stay in a quiet neighborhood. House was clean and up to date with plenty of amenities. Plenty of outside space to relax of an evening. Although closed from hurricane damage, so we didn't get to use it, the association pool is literally right next to the house. (it was set to open later this month) Short drive to both ends of the island for dining, as well as in to the main land. Easy access to nearby bike path. Mary Beth was great to work with.

Great location and quiet
The owners were great and property was very nice. I rented due to having to gut our home in St James City due to hurricane so location was perfect for going back and forth to work on home as it was like a 7 minute drive. Highly recommend this property for vacationers the pool is literally next door!

Stay at Turtle Cottage
This was our second stay at Turtle Cottage and it was just as nice as last year. Stan and MaryBeth are great hosts. The location is very peaceful which we liked a lot. There is one small screened porch where I spent nearly every afternoon listening to audio books and cross stitching….loved it!

Very inviting atmosphere when we walked in the door. Welcome package to the keys and communication. Property had binder full of island information. The location was perfect. Quiet street pool right next door. A little cold snap kept us from using but we did hang out by the pool abs took in some sun. Communication with owner was great they made sure our stay was great and was available if anything was needed. Will stay here again when traveling to Pine Island. Location was in the middle of all the amenities the island has to offer.

The neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful, and MaryBeth is a better more accommodating host than any five star resort I’ve ever stayed at. If only everyone in the hospitality industry was like her!!!! Seriously she’s more efficient and accommodating than a Chick-fil-A drive through. We will definitely be back.

We stayed at Turtle Cottage for three nights and our only regret is that we didn’t book a longer stay. The host is very nice and helpful. The house was super clean. We loved sitting out in the back bedroom screened in porch. The neighborhood pool is right next door and we enjoyed swimming everyday.

Thank you for sharing your lovely cottage with us!
We had a relaxing stay at this wonderful cottage. Marybeth went out of her way to make us feel welcome. The cottage is beautifully decorated and has all the amenities you need for a fun getaway. We visited Naples, Sanibel and enjoyed the quirky, fun restaurants on Pine Island. The Indian ruins were a highlight as well. Access to bikes and the swimming pool were much appreciated! Thank you for having us!
