Final Leg of our Month Long stay in Florida
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.

Caloosahatchee River Cottage
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.

Nice rental space for a short-term trip.
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!
