Great place to stay on Pine Island. Recently redone after storms. Very clean with nice coastal decor and furniture. Boat docks available. Walk to resaurants. Water view from our screened balcony was spectacular. We will return
This place was perfect for a friends birthday celebration! We rented a boat and had it parked in a slip right outside the place with access to great fishing and sunning spots. Rooms were very clean and comfortable. Walking distance to a few great local spots to eat and catch some live music. Will definitely be back to Off the Charts Inn!
Clean and comfortable room. Relaxing environment with the canal directly out the patio door. Resident manatee's were present. Struck up conversations with other guests. 2 minute walk to local bar/restaurant. Had a great time for a night. Planning on spending more time here. A+
Our stay at Off The Charts was absolutely perfect. Everything was just as described, the resort was beautiful, and we felt so comfortable the entire time. We had a question and received a quick, helpful response right away. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience—highly recommend! We will be returning!
Wonderful place to stay if you’re coming to Saint James City. Scenic ride through the canals to the Inn. We arrived by boat and could park our boat right in front of our room. Rooms were well appointed and the atmosphere at the end was very relaxful. Stephanie the host was very friendly and responsive. Highly recommend to others and plan to return!
Loved the Vibe of Off the Charts Inn and St James City. We loved sitting in the sun on the canal right outside our sliding glass patio door and watching the manatees! We loved carry out at Phuzzys at the corner and visiting the Marina, Research Center and Tarpon Lodge at Pine Land. The very best was the Cositas Cuban Cafe on the right as you come onto the island; great food and staff. Stephanie the off site manager at Off the Charts was the very best and very accommodating! There is no on site housekeeping services
Nice, clean stay. Newly renovated from the past hurricane. Our stay was a peaceful, quiet and relaxing. We saw manatees and dolphins swimming in the canal. There was an eagle that flew over as well as other birds. Highly recommend for a nice getaway. If you have a boat, you can park, right outside your door.
Great location on the island. If you are familiar with Pine Island, and St James City specifically, then you'll understand how central this location is to everything. It is easy to walk to several restaurants and bars. The rooms were VERY clean and just redone from the past hurricanes, so it’s basically a brand-new property. The host Stephanie was nice and accommodating. We will be back again very soon.
Set along a marina, this down-to-earth hotel is 2 miles from St. James Creek Preserve, 30 miles from Interstate 75, and 41 miles from Sanibel Historical Museum and Village.
