About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Fish, Swim, Boat, Kayak, Snorkel, Bike, Hike, Dolphin Watch and Island Hopping.

Perhaps you have spent vacations in a large busy city that is full of famously produced theatre presentations and name brand stores. BUT, have you spent a vacation on Florida’s barrier fishing island in a house that borders a wildlife preserve, have your own swimming pool with only mom and pops stores close by? The house, Gone Fishing, is located on 1.2 acres of land that spills into the wildlife preserve. This house is located on Pine Island, 6.5 miles from Matlacha. Pine Island “Is where island time begins!” It is “Old Florida.” The home comes with a pool, outdoor shower, bicycles and fishing rods! So bike around the entire island stopping at non chain restaurants and dives, visit natural preserves and museums, kayak in tree lined waters, go boating, or go dolphin watching and shelling. Or just island hop.
I have a twenty-page activity booklet waiting for you!

Gone Fishing
My daughter, son in law, and I were thoughly please with this little hideaway. Patsy and Gavril were very friendly. The pool was a saltwater pool but a bit chilly. My daughter tried riding the whale and lost. I was able to get onto wifi with no problem. All appliances were new and everything was clean. We were visited by little lizard as we had coffee on the patio. A large wood stork visited on morning. As an animal lover I was overjoyed with these visits. Lovely homebase to visit the areas.

Clean and quiet!
Very clean, comfortable, and secluded. This property was perfect. It’s tucked back from all the hustle and bustle, but still close to everything. Hosts were very sweet and responsive. Beds were comfortable. Great place to relax after being out and about in Fort Myers or on the island enjoying island life. I will be coming back!

Very secluded for a Family weekend.
House it’s at the end of road which makes it very private. Perfect for a weekend with the family at the pool and some BBQ while steps away from nature environment.

Perfect, Peaceful Getaway for Spring Break
This was a perfect getaway for me and my two kids (teens - 16 & 13) for spring break... away from the high-rise hotels and packed tourist areas most people seek out for spring break. I prefer a quieter area! The hosts, Patsy and Gavril were wonderful and had so many suggestions on things to do in the area, that we may have to go back! Some of the things we did do were the Sunset Kayak Tour and Cayo Costa State Park. The house has a beautiful pool in the back that is all yours and backs up to a natural wildlife park. Morning coffee and breakfast on the patio was my favorite place, every day. The beds were comfy and the area was quiet and serene. Thank you both for a wonderful experience on Pine Island.
