GORGEOUS RENTAL! Paradise In Old Time Florida at "The Dew Drop Ian"
Very secluded on a dead-end road. Fabulous Stilt Cottage where the breeze keeps you cool all day in the many open air sitting areas. One-of-a-kind charm where you can literally ride a bike or walk to the best of Bokeelia. This beautiful place allows time to stand still. Please check out our nesting Eagles right behind out home. Also note our endangered turtle that has buried himself in our garden. Go to meet our amazing Dolphin UNO at Jug Creek Marina. This is a Fisherman's Paradise with several Marinas minutes from Dew Drop Ian. Amazing restaurant's Tarpon Lodge, Jug Creek Marina and The Lazy Flamingo are minutes away!

My husband and I just wanted a quiet, off the beaten path place to stay near the Gulf. If you are “beach people”, this isn’t the place. For us, it was perfect. We explored every part of the island and found good restaurants, history, and really welcoming people. We would definitely stay here again.

This place had so many of the things these two 60 grandparents like. - Seclusion (not on a buy street or too many people nearby). - A deck to just sit or eat on. - Ease of feeling at home- A neighborhood to walk- Not too touristy

The house is older but a lot of excellent renovation done well. Everything clean and in good working order. Located in a private, quiet part of the Island with nice neighbors.Pine Island is a rare uncrowded part of Florida that's mostly a fishing/boating mecca. Lots of fresh seafood to buy, a few good restaurants, and a Publix. Very relaxing. We visited friends in Bonita Springs where traffic was gridlock.

Susie’s home was perfect. Quiet, extremely clean and charming plus the attention to detail was amazing. Perfect for a healing retreat!

There were two problems: 1) No soup spoon. Borrowed two from my sister who lives nearby. 2) Shower had no hot water. Lukewarm at best. More serious than spoons. Otherwise we would have given it an A+ rating.

Susie is one of the best hosts I’ve encountered. She is helpful, and quick to respond. This place is at the end of a cul-de-sac it is quiet and there is a nesting pair of eagles in the back. The outdoor area is so comfy and ready for you to enjoy. It is well stocked and is the cleanest VRBO we have stayed in. A nice stay for sure
