The Yellow House

St. James City, Florida
island time starts here

A sunny canal home in St. James City

Spend your days relaxing by the private pool, unwinding beneath the tiki hut or watching manatees (and the occasional dolphin) from the dock.

Tucked into St. James City on the southern tip of Pine Island, this house has plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Boating and fishing are just minutes away, with easy access to Cape Coral, Sanibel, Captiva and Fort Myers Beach.

When you don't feel like cooking, hop in a rented golf cart and head to local favorites like The Waterfront Restaurant or Phuzzy's. A welcome book filled with property tips and our favorite local spots is waiting for you inside.

See you soon!
