Great stay!

We came from Wisconsin to get a break from winter, and we were not disappointed. The house looks just like the pictures and was very clean and homey. The hot tub and pool were great. We loved being on the canal and even saw some manatees. We enjoyed many local restaurants and took Island Girls Charters to Cabbage Key Island and North Captiva. The host was very responsive and easy to work with. It’s a great stay for couples. We would definitely stay again.

Saint James City Gem - Very nice and clean!

We had a really nice stay at the "Blue Marlin"! The house is an extremely clean and newly renovated older Florida home with a larger frontage cul-de-sac lot on a canal. This cleanliness was greatly appreciated as it's how we like our own home. If you appreciate a nice clean home then this is the place. It was just my wife and I and our 2.5mo old infant. I appreciate that they made the exception being a small infant and not children running around which I wouldn't want if it was my house. The place is set up with two master bedrooms and is very spacious and would be perfect place for two couples. The pool area was very nice and we mostly used the jacuzzi. It was a little on the cooler side weather wise when we were there but were able to heat the pool to a comfortable temperature. The kitchen is stocked with all the appliances one could need and more. If I were to make a few changes it would be to leave some cupboards empty to be able to store food, have some basic cleaning products/supplies available to those that stay and want to keep it clean, and to remove or be able to cover the camera that faces the pool. There's quite a few cameras around the property. We never did anything or would do more than pg but we found that camera uncomfortable and not necessary for security. With that being said I would most certainly stay there again but would ask to cover that pool area camera.
