The Enchanted Cottage on the Imperial River
We loved our stay here. The Enchanted Cottage is a cozy little oasis and perfect for a nature-lover like me! We loved taking the kayaks out on the river and seeing alligators, dolphins, and iguana. It was also a short walk into town for restaurants, bars, ice cream, and events in the park. Our dog loved visiting the Bonita dog beach. Taco Tuesday at Maria's is a must! We had such a relaxing stay. 8 days here was not enough and I hope to be back some day.

Villa The Island Hideaway 2
Wow! We loved this house. Great outdoor seating, loved watching the boats come and go. Pool and hot tub were fantastic. Great flat grill for dinners at home. Good restaurant options in the area. Cape Coral is close to so much, but away from traffic. Loads of windows and natural light. Very clean. Highly recommend.

Spacious Cottage
The place was very clean, and everything that required was provided. It was in a park setting, which suited us just fine.

The Sanibel Sunshine Cottage
Shawnee, & her husband Dave were wonderful. They kept in touch w/ us, & made sure anything we needed was brought to us. Everything in their home was top shelf. Thank you Shawnee & Dave for a beautiful 2 week stay at your home. Bill & Sharon Hauswirth

Captains Cottage
Tina was very responsive to our requests and messages. We were specifically looking for a place with a hot tub that was quite and private. The hot tub was good and clean. The house was clean and stocked for what we needed. The only constructive criticism I would offer is blackout curtains for the bedroom as the Wife likes to sleep in and it was difficult for her since the sun shines right in the bedroom at sunrise. It was fine for me as I am an early riser, but a curtain would be helpful to give the option for the weary traveler. I would also recommend a small step for entry and exit of the hot tub. Thankfully my legs are long enough I was able to get in and out, but it was a little challenging for my wife. Tina was very thoughtful with her suggestions of what to do locally and was quick with responses to any of my messages. We really enjoyed the place and if we are ever back in that part of the state we would absolutely rent this place again!

Chic Chalet
Nice space to stay for a get away, or if you are out of town working.

Beach cottage ll
Great location!! Beds were great. Could use some updating. House was clean. Definitely when staying here you have to buy your own toilet paper, paper towels and trash bags. We got there and used bathroom twice and had no toilet paper. Air conditioning works well. Lots of extra bedding and towels. We will definitely book agian. Also we really enjoyed the pool.

The FlipFlopper Beach House - North Captiva Island
The house was perfect. Very well equipped, good quality kitchen tools, everything needed to cook. All the beach gear and toys for the kids were a big + for us! Location is amazing, quiet, peaceful and super close to the beach. Ryan is a great host, super responsive and helpful. Loved the filtered water system in the house, no need to buy water!

Cheerful 3 bedroom Cottage near the beach!
This was my first AirBnB booking and it was better than I expected! We had 6 adults on this trip and the house was perfect for us. We loved the location, the house was well stocked, and was plenty big for us all! Check-in was easy, we had no issues with anything, and would absolutely stay here again!

A Cozy Cottage Close to Beach and Downtown
Clean and spacious inside with a large yard for dogs on a quiet street. I would definitely stay if I return to the area. 5 stars.

Beach getaway near FortMyers Naples 25% Month Disc
Alina’s house was perfect for our stay. It was clean, close to everything, easy to get to. Alina was a perfect host—responsive and flexible.

River Ranch Oaks
Can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay at Julia's cottage. It is in a beautiful setting with huge trees, yet minutes from groceries and conveniences. Walkable neighborhood. The house is spacious and airy and impeccably clean. Very nice decor which lends to the peaceful getaway feeling. We were there for a combo of remote work and birding and nature. It was very convenient for Sanibel, Corkscrew and dinner/beach in Naples. We loved Estero and hope to return next year.

Charming Bungalow in Country Setting
Very cute, quaint,peaceful and just the right size for what I needed. I will definitely try to stay here again. Thank you for letting me stay at your home.

Pet Friendly & 15 min to Beach - New Bathroom!

Sans Souci - 4/3 Coastal Cottage in Bonita Shores
My family spent Christmas at Kari's this year, and we thoroughly enjoyed it! Her home was beautiful and clean, and it was decorated for the holidays, which was an amazing addition. It was perfect for my family of 6 people and 4 dogs. There is a beautiful fenced-in yard, which provided a great backdrop for my engagement! Would love to stay here again!

The Beach Baby - Across street from beach!
Beautiful Place to relax. Watch the sunrise in the back and easy walk to watch the Sunset in the evening.

Beautiful Country house overlooking 13.5 acres
This was our first time staying in a rental. The experience was amazing and easy. I will definitely stay in this home during our next visit to the Island.

The Bokeelia Cottage
This tini home is great! We had two very nice days - the area is super calm! Out neighbour was a gator - so don’t go for a swim 🫢🙂

Last Minute-Villa Seafan-modern, pool, kayaks
This is a beautiful home. Well appointed and well maintained. Everything was spotless. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!! The host thought of almost everything. Kayaks, bicycles, pool towels, etc. My only recommendations for improvement would be facial tissues and fans for sleeping. That’s it! That’s all I could think of.

Cottage Retreat Minutes from the Beaches
We had a great stay. The cottage was very clean. The location was convenient to activities. Vita was always quick to respond and helpful . We would definitely stay again.

Waterside Cottage
We absolutely loved our stay here on Pine Island. The home and the yard around the home was so peaceful. You are far enough away from neighbors next door that you don't hear them. People across the canal were very friendly and always said good morning when I was out on the pier drinking my coffee. The island itself was amazing and driving from one end to the other took about 25 min. There are a lot of great hiking spots at the different preserves you can go to. There's also the Calusa Historical trail which was cool. An important thing to note is that there is no beach on the island, there are a few spots to put your feet in the water but no actual beach. We knew this when we booked and had scheduled in a beach day trip to Sanibel Island which is about 1.5 hours away when it's busy. Matlacha is a town on an island in between Pine Island and Cape Coral which has a bunch of cute shops but is still recovering from the hurricane. Overall we had an amazing trip and can't wait to come back

Beach House on pond w/ HEATED pool - sleeps 6
We had a great time at Mike's place. The house is in a quiet area. It was all very clean. Kitchen utensils such as spices, coffee, water were provided. The house is very nicely decorated. We particularly liked the heated pool. Mike left us fish food so we could feed the ducks and turtles. The view of the small lake was great. Supermarkets can be reached in 5 minutes by car. The communication with Mike was very good. The house is an absolute recommendation. When we get back to Florida, we'll be back!

Simply Natural Farm Getaway
Friendly owners, private location and a clean place to stay. All you could really ask for. If ever in Fort Meyers again, I would certainly look to come here first.
