Had a very nice relaxing, quiet stay. It was comfy and had everything you need. We would stay here again in a heartbeat! Nice view of the river.
We loved the location, very close to the water and a nice park area right behind the property. All we needed in every way. Just a short trip to get groceries and could cook a meal no problem. Highly recommend!!
We are Twins Spring Training season ticket holders and the location of this property is very convenient for getting back and forth to the games. It is well kept and always very clean.
This home was in a nice quiet neighborhood close to the Manatee Park and the Boathouse Tiki Bar and Grill and a short drive to Fort Myers Beach and downtown Fort Myers. The outdoor space was awesome and the inside space was clean and spacious. The grill was nice to have to cook meals.
Very clean, comfortable home in a quiet neighborhood close to I-75. About 10 minutes from downtown Fort Myers. Russ and Lynda were very helpful and responsive. There is a nice patio as well. I would definitely stay there again.
Although we would have liked to be closer to beach this was a very reasonable alternative. Neighborhood is safe and friendly. Lots of areas to walk and play wuth our dog. Short drive to river district where there are so many options.
The cottage is clean and well equipped for anything one might need to feel right at home. It’s in a quiet, older neighborhood with easy access to I-75. It also has a nice patio area surrounded by well maintained plantings, with a short walk to the river.
Loved to property, absolutely adorable & they thought of everything. Every detail was laid out & ready to go. Check in was super easy, everything was in perfect working order...loved it. Will definitely be back.
Comfortable, well-outfitted rental. Especially close to Manatee Park, but also convenient for downtown ft. Myers. Great food truck on main road. We felt safe here and often took walks.
This area was hit hard by hurricane Ian and still shows it. The neighborhood is a bit sketchy but we never felt unsafe. The property itself served us well. The communication with the property manager was fantastic!

I dont think anyone should be allowed to put pictures online of a place that doesn’t look anything like the pictures. I rented because of the pictures i saw & was very disappointed when i walked in because absolutely nothing was like the pictures.

This property was adequate at best, certainly not "exceptional ". Reviewers should be honest in rating rentals as the rating is usually the most important criteria, along with price. In this case "you get what you pay for".As one reviewer mentioned, the place needs updating. The bathroom is old with a funky shower setup. The furnishings look like cast-offs or yard sale purchases.The property was a last minute decision because of proximity to Jet Blue Park but I wish I had kept my original hotel reservations .
The cottage is a one bedroom, one bath duplex. It has been recently redone and is very clean and updated. It was the perfect size for the two of us. The carport is setup as a patio & there is room for outdoor dining and sunning. Even though the neighborhood looks somewhat run down, many of the nearby homes had extensive damage during Hurricane Ian, and are working on getting them repaired. We enjoyed our time here with our dog and plan to go back next year.
