My wife and I, along with our 12 and 14 year old kids, wanted to explore south Florida. We selected this home in Hunters Ridge for the amenities of the house and the community (you can golf, play tennis, swim, bike, dine and relax without ever leaving Hunters Ridge) as well as the proximity to the best of south Florida. We explored area beaches, ( Barefoot Beach was our favorite with Gopher Tortoises rambling through the dunes), dined in downtown Naples, rode bikes and airboats through the Everglades, ( Bike Shark Valley Trail, an easy loop into the heart of the Everglades, and see gators, turtles and birds) and combed the beach at Sanibel Island. Hint: a mask and snorkel will help you find shells that are still in the water.
Here is another hint. Florida in the Summer. Everything is more affordable and less crowded. We were able to be more spontaneous with dining and activities, never needing reservations for anything. Yes, it can be hot. Ocean breezes and water sports fix that, and the prospect of no crowds make the heat a worthwhile trade off.
My expectations were exceeded. The house is well designed for gathering and privacy. The master bedroom and large, screened patio (lanai) look over the golf course and are surrounded by lush and well maintained plantings. The house is well stocked with everything you could want. The quality of the house and the furnishings are beyond what we have found in other rentals. We felt like guests in a very lovely home.
