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.

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.

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!!

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.

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!

Wonderful cottage with all the amenities of home
We stayed here for a week with our senior dogs as we waited to close on a home.
The owners were kind, responsive and offered anything we needed. They allowed me to unload things such as houseplants and items that needed to be out of the moving truck.
We enjoyed using the brand new grill and felt safe and at home.
The owners are good kind people we could not have asked for more.
The duplex is close to everything you may need and not a far drive from the beach.
