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.

Pet Friendly & 15 min to Beach - New Bathroom!
Thank you for accommodating our last minute request!! We really appreciate the quick communication :)

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!

Cottage rentals with a hot tub

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

Beach cottage l
This place was perfect for my wife and I traveling with our Parrot. Friendly neighbors and beautiful palm trees surrounding. We would definitely book Martina’s place again.

Cape Lake House Lake Front
We had two families and we both enjoyed our stay! The house was very accommodating for both our families with kids. We all enjoyed the salt water pool and patio. The information binder provided gave clear instructions for our stay and provided many recommendations for restaurants and activities to do. Stu and Cathy were very helpful and even personally check on us during our stay!

Captains Cottage
We had to wait about 30 min after arriving at check in time to get the access code, but other than that we enjoyed our stay very much!! The grill wasn’t working, and Tina sent the housekeeper over with a charcoal grill, charcoal, lighter fluid, and even a lighter. Her responses were timely and very helpful. We would definitely come back again 💚

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

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!

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.

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

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.

Little Cottage on the Field
Very nice house in a quiet neighborhood. The entire process was hassle-free. We won’t hesitate to book again the next time we come to Fort Myers!

Cottage for a tropical gateway or romantic retreat
We loved our stay here. Guido and Monica were great hosts, and are very responsive. The house is in a great spot, very close to the beach and causeway. Very clean and everything you could need was provided. Would definitely recommend and stay here again. Thank you!
