Teresa home is absolutely beautiful! My coaches and football team (8 year olds) were in town for the National AYF Championship. Teresa home felt like home away from home for the babies. Her home was fully equipped with linen, towels, dishes, seasonings, etc. She suggested a park for us to practice and everything! We enjoyed our stay. Thank you for having us Teresa!

5 out of 5 average rating, 9 reviewsVilla Cape Canal
Someone else mentioned that the house is bigger and nicer than the photos and I agree. The beds were comfortable; the kitchen was user friendly and lovely, the living room was cosy yet big enough for 6 adults to hang out. what truly made the house though was the setting with the canals, deck, pool and fun amenities (ping-pong, kayaks, sups, bikes, etc.). also, Bill was a wonderful host. kind and helpful. thanks for the holiday spirit!

We were very happy staying in Christopher’s place. The house was cosy, spotless and very well equipped. From the welcoming holiday wreath on the door to the cosy pool beds and outdoor furniture, everything in the house was to the highest standard. We would definitely recommend the house to family and friends. We even found a great little Italian restaurant nearby called Bruno’s with lovely friendly owners and great food.

We love this house. It’s great with our teenage kids. The kitchen is nicely located in the center. We eat breakfast at home everyday and enjoy the surroundings of the beach or downtown at night. This was our second time staying here. Thank you!

We loved the location. The essentials were stocked when we arrived, making it like home away from home. Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home. The enclosed patio and pool area was perfect for morning and evenings. The open floorplan was just right for many of us to have our own space but still be together as we wanted.

We loved this home! It worked well for our family vacation this year. The space was very accommodating and we had everything we needed. Thankful to be able to stay here. We did want to mention that the 6th bedroom did not have a door which was kind of sad for our family who had to sleep there but overall, it worked well for us.

Your guide to Fort Myers Beach
All About Fort Myers Beach
Fort Myers Beach, Florida, is known for its sugary-soft sand, breathtaking sunsets, and beautiful ocean views. Set on Estero Island, the seven miles of wide, gently sloping coastline welcomes water sports enthusiasts and sunbathers alike. Spend the day relaxing on the family-friendly beaches or get adventurous and view the area as you parasail over the water below. Visit in November, and you’ll get the chance to marvel at epic sandcastles during the annual American Sand Sculpting Championship. While you’re at the beach, try your hand at charter fishing or enjoy fresh seafood at one of the many restaurants lining the coast.
Nature lovers can stay in a Fort Myers vacation rental close to Lovers Key State Park with access to some of Florida’s best hiking, biking, and canoeing. Step back in time at Cayo Costa Island State Preserve and be rewarded with acres of pine forests, oak palm hammocks, mangrove swamps, nature trails, and shady picnic areas. Unwind at the end of the day with a visit to Times Square, the pedestrian-friendly shopping and dining area.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Fort Myers Beach
Fort Myers Beach is a great place to be between the months of March and May. Relax in the warm sun and head to the annual Fort Myers Beach Shrimp Festival, featuring a parade, art exhibitions, and a shrimp eating contest. Summers are hot, humid, and a little rainy, but that shouldn’t keep you away from enjoying summer break on the white sand beaches. Keep in mind that hurricane season runs from September to November, so be prepared for adverse conditions when staying at Fort Myers house rentals. Come December, when the storms have passed, mild temperatures welcome those looking to relax on the area’s beaches, and art lovers are well served with over 200 artists, live entertainment, regional food, and more at ArtFest Fort Meyers the first week of February.
