Photos and Description of the Pine Island vacation house rental
Spacious 3 bedroom, Hot Tub, Dock, Canal front, Lift available

Our house is available now for a 6 month period, June through October, fully furnished, at a greatly reduced price. We are offering for rent, our spacious 3 bedroom, 4 bath home which sits on a quiet street off the beaten path in Matlacha. We have a wide frontage on one of the deepest and widest canals and also are between 2 empty lots which makes the outside space wide open for more privacy. The house has just been refurbished with great attention to every detail to make your visit pleasant and relaxing.

The open concept and split floor plan allows for separation of the two master suites, each with its own attached bathroom. There are lots of large windows for an open, airy feel. All rooms have blinds and ceiling fans. All bedding is new. The king bed has a new memory foam mattress. The twins have new pillow top mattresses. There is a washer and dryer, a laundry sink and bathroom just outside the kitchen door in the garage.

The kitchen is large with new French Door stainless refrigerator with ice and filtered water in the door. There are lots of cabinets, immaculately clean and filled with every small appliance for the gourmet chef. The island is 10 1/2 feet long and provides a huge counter space for cooking, eating or doing projects. There is a wall oven and glass counter top cooking surface. The window at the sink overlooks the water. It is close to both the large dining table or the round breakfast table. French doors lead to the screened lanai also overlooking the water. Patio furniture is provided for lounging or eating outside. There are 3 different outdoor eating areas.

The large yard has grass and tropical landscaping maintained for you. The hot tub, for use in winter months, is a Warm Springs 'Jetsetter'. It is very pleasant to sit on the deck, either in the hot tub or in the Adirondack chairs and watch the fish jumping in the canal, see the osprey building their nest or see eagles and dolphins go by. There are a changing assortment of fish in the canal that you will be able to catch right from your dock.

The covered, wrap around boat dock is large, has electric and water and provides a great space for fishing or launching kayaks from the drop-down ladder and platform as well as accessing a boat from the 10,000 lb boat lift. You can also arrange to be picked up by any of several local guides for fishing at its best in this area.

Matlacha has the 'Island Time' feel of Pine Island but is more conveniently located near all the activities of Cape Coral and Ft Myers, even Sanibel and Ft Myers Beach. It is closer to the airport, shopping, concerts, theater, golf courses, and water park.You are welcome to call me for more information. It's fun to go to all these but when you live in Matlacha the best part is coming home!

About Holly Aldrich

My husband and I retired 3 years ago and came from northern Michigan to visit friends on Pine Island after a winter of heavy snowfall. We loved the sunshine with blue skies, beautiful clouds and water views in every direction.

We were delighted by the quaint village of Matlacha with all the colorful shops, art galleries and restaurants on the main drag and then in seconds we can be off the beaten path on quiet streets where every house is on the waterfront.

Neighbors are friendly and interesting, some from all over the country as well as Canada and England who come to enjoy the wonderful climate of the sub tropics.

You will see osprey nesting close to our deck and bald eagles nearby. Pelicans are attentive to all the fish and dolphins go by in the bay frequently. There are wood peckers, egrets, ibis, herons, cormorants, anhinga and roseate spoonbills in the area.

We can leave our doors open all day, enjoy breezes, very few bugs, walking, bike rides on the flat terrain, friendly neighbors, Aquarobics every morning at the Pine Island Community Pool, boating, fishing, classes at the Matlacha Art Center, craft groups, kayaking or reading a book and taking a nap. There are always more possibilities for activities than we can fit into each day.

The sunshine and pleasant temperatures make us feel we are truly in paradise.

Holly Aldrich purchased this house in 2011
Why Holly Aldrich chose Pine Island

This is a very spacious house with open lots on either side so you can spread out and have privacy and quiet. It has been updated with an open concept and split floor plan with 2 master suites. There are tile floors for easy maintenance, ceiling fans for a breeze and of course air conditioning. The property has 130' of waterfront to be viewed from the house, the lanai, the deck and the 10,000 lb lift and boat dock.

There is a large 2 car garage with beautiful paver driveway and lots of storage throughout the house. A fourth bathroom with shower in the garage is within easy access from the boat dock and hot tub. There is good space in the screened garage for projects, studio or workshop.

What makes this house unique

This updated and renovated house has 1800 sq ft of living space on one level plus laundry, garage, two screened lanais, one on the front and one on the back, open deck with a Warm Springs hot tub/spa, surround boat dock with 10,000 lb lift, landscaped yard with grass and palm trees maintained for you. The house has a large kitchen with a huge island for cooking, entertaining and eating. (It is also my dream space for cutting fabric and sewing.) There are 2 bikes and a kayak for you to enjoy during your stay.

Excellent Stay

A getaway for husband and myself, a great home away from home. We were very satisfied with all the a entities, nothing you need to bring but yourself . Holly, the owner, was very personable and arrival and departure went smoothly. We loved sitting in back yard and watch the tarpon swarming the waters. Matlacha is such a great place to lay back and relax, fish, and the art galleries are great also. Our favorite place to eat is Bert's Bar, great food, music, good times! Would definitely rent this home again, have rented others in Matlacha and we were very happy with this home, we will be back!

My father lived in this house for 6 months a year in 2011 and 2012. I spent many weeks with him during that time. This is a lovely home and is very well taken care of by the owners. The open floor plan makes visiting with family easy and fun. The lanai is a wonderful place to enjoy the early mornings and the beautiful Florida sunsets. The bedrooms all have new and very comfortable mattresses. The two larger bedrooms have en suite bathrooms and there are two additional bathrooms in the house. The photos you see are extremely accurate and make me nostalgic! I understand the owners have continued to upgrade the landscaping on the very large lot including various fruit trees. The owners are very personable people and extremely helpful. The village of Matlacha, FL is definitely 'old Florida' and is charming and friendly. I would definitely recommend this home for either a short stay or a longer one.

This was a great house to spend our vacation in. Located on a canal with access to Kayaking on Matlacha pass. Shops and restaurants were within walking distance of the house.

The house itself was just beautiful. The kitchen was the best equipped of any we have stayed in since coming to Florida for the winters. Two bedroom suites with beds that were very comfortable, with everything provided. Everything inside and outside of the house was spotless. The hot tub was a great bonus enabling us to spend many evenings looking out across the canal.

The owner even provided bicycles and a two seat Kayak to use . We would highly recommend this house for anyone looking to have a great vacation on Matlacha.

Meticulous, Comfortable and Perfect Vacation Home!! Boat Dock, Kayak, Hot Tub and Friendly Owner!!

We stayed here for just about a week over the winter holidays and could not have asked for anything more from the owner. Everything you could imagine needing was here (ok, boat not included but kayak was). The amount of space, bedrooms and bathrooms this home has is unreal. The closet space was incredible and they have everything included from bedding, extra blankets (a yummy one already on bed), towels, bathmats, laundry room (need detergent), first aide items, bikes and an air pump and all the kitchen gadget goodies to make a real dinner. The local and traveled art and finishing touches in this home is incredible, I just loved noticing things daily. The extra bedroom has a computer in it, although we used our own and not sure of speed or internet access. There is a large flat panel tv in the super comfy livingroom and master bedroom as well (am not sure of other bedrooms we did not use). There was limited channels, but dvd and blueray was available. Vacationing on Matlacha did not require much tv watching for us. I'd inquire first but owner was so incredibly willing to give home help, local fishing, restaurant and any other imput we could want. A true dream of good vibes and peaceful relaxation. Cannot wait to stay again and catch more fish while soothing in the hot tub!!!!!!!
