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.
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!!
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.
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!

Floor needed mopped was sticky, Bedding smelled like animal pee. Bed was uncomfortable, and was not sturdy, wobbly causing it too move everytime you moved. Left 3 days before check out due too workers being loud/ banging stuff around late into the night ,causing pictures to fall off the walls and walking around the windows outside and under carport. Felt uncomfortable. Will not be booking again.
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.
Russ and Lynda went above and beyond expectations getting this cottage ready for us after IAN ravaged this property. Absolutely no sigh of damage in our unit. It was clean, well equipped and they were very friendly, responsive to our needs. Thank you so very much Russ and Lynda.
