Also, please pick up after your pets (there is a pet waste station).

Guests have access to entire home.

Davis Preserve is a quiet neighbourhood, but ideally located for exploring the nearby beaches and islands.

Restaurants
There are various restaurants within a short distance from this home. There is a great bar/restaurant just around the corner (just before the Sanibel Causeway) called the Bimini Bait Shack. Rest your cocktails on the aquarium bar and listen to the live bands playing from up above the bar! If you are into alligator meat, you may like to try the restaurant Gatorbites Tail & Ale. Our personal favorite on Fort Myers Beach is Doc Ford’s Rum Bar & Grill and the Dixie Fish Co next door is also great. The Smokin’ Oyster Brewery is a fun, casual place and for a locals hidden gem, try out the Heavenly Biscuit for breakfast. For a special treat, Azure is a fantastic French restaurant located on McGregor and Iona (bookings recommended).

Sanibel & Captiva islands
The Sanibel causeway is at the end of your road. Please be aware that it is a toll road ($6 each way) and you will need to pay cash. Traffic can be heavy during season, so allow time to explore these beautiful islands. Once across the causeway you will find the Visitor Information centre on your right. There are plenty of walking trails and bicycle paths, fishing, water sports and local art galleries. The Ding Darling wildlife reserve is one of the top coastal bird habitats and worth a visit. The Island Cow is legendary for its breakfasts and a fabulous place to watch the sunset with a cocktail and your toes in the sand is The Mucky Duck on Captiva.
