Pine Island Florida was host to the notorious explorer Ponce De Leon. He never completed his quest to find the Fountain of Youth; however, he did find a beautiful group of Islands inhabited by the friendly Caloosa Indians. The unspoiled natural beauty still shows evidence of the indigenous people's lifestyle. An area steeped in history and world-class fishing, Pine Island is the perfect place for a cabin getaway.
Ideal for the avid fisherman, Jug Creek Cabins are at the north end of Pine Island in the village of Bokeelia. Access to the boat ramp and canal is available for a quick ride to the hottest fishing spots in Pine Island Sound. For the paddling enthusiast, Great Calusa Blueway Paddling Trail is just out your front door. The cabins accommodate up to six people with kitchenettes and air conditioning provided. There is a full-service marina, two restaurants and a fishing pier within walking distance.
