The Enchanted Cottage on the Imperial River
We loved our stay here. The Enchanted Cottage is a cozy little oasis and perfect for a nature-lover like me! We loved taking the kayaks out on the river and seeing alligators, dolphins, and iguana. It was also a short walk into town for restaurants, bars, ice cream, and events in the park. Our dog loved visiting the Bonita dog beach. Taco Tuesday at Maria's is a must! We had such a relaxing stay. 8 days here was not enough and I hope to be back some day.

Cottage Secluded in Palms 1 minute walk to Beach
Felt right at home and Federico was quick to respond. House was cozy beds were comfy and I would definitely stay again.

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.

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

Captains Cottage
Tina was very responsive to our requests and messages. We were specifically looking for a place with a hot tub that was quite and private. The hot tub was good and clean. The house was clean and stocked for what we needed. The only constructive criticism I would offer is blackout curtains for the bedroom as the Wife likes to sleep in and it was difficult for her since the sun shines right in the bedroom at sunrise. It was fine for me as I am an early riser, but a curtain would be helpful to give the option for the weary traveler. I would also recommend a small step for entry and exit of the hot tub. Thankfully my legs are long enough I was able to get in and out, but it was a little challenging for my wife. Tina was very thoughtful with her suggestions of what to do locally and was quick with responses to any of my messages. We really enjoyed the place and if we are ever back in that part of the state we would absolutely rent this place again!

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

Beach cottage ll
Great location!! Beds were great. Could use some updating. House was clean. Definitely when staying here you have to buy your own toilet paper, paper towels and trash bags. We got there and used bathroom twice and had no toilet paper. Air conditioning works well. Lots of extra bedding and towels. We will definitely book agian. Also we really enjoyed the pool.

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.

Las Tortugas Azules (The Blue Turtles) - Family Retreat
Michael and Lorna were super friendly and easy going but, at the same time, respected our privacy. The guesthouse was super clean with state-of-the-art appliances and had absolutely everything we needed to prepare our own meals in the beautiful kitchen. The pool area was gorgeous. The weather was on the cool side while we were there, so we didn't get in the water, but we loved sitting outside in the patio area enjoying the beautiful and peaceful surroundings. As an extra added bonus, they have two adorable puppies that were out a few times a day. We loved our extended stay at Las Tortugas Azules and would definitely consider staying there again if in the Naples area.

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.

West Coast Island Retreat, Simply Adrift Cottage
We had a great time staying here! The home was beautiful with all the beach supplies one could want. As someone who drove their boat up, the dock had great cleat availability and we had no problems getting a spot. One of the easier places to dock at that I have stayed overnight. Home also has everything for cooking and good wifi for being on an island. Loved the vibe of LGI, watching the sunset, and exploring the surrounding islands. Would definitely stay again!

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.

Cozy Cove
The Cozy Cove was just that! I needed a reset and get away from the madness of life and as soon as I entered the space I knew I'd get what I needed and more. I am a stickler for cleanliness...so when I walked in and immediately smelled freshness, I was beyond ecstatic. It was small but well thought out. The way the space was decorated made you feel at home. I love being outside so the various sitting spots were wonderful for enjoying tea and journaling in the mornings and a nice fireside chat in the evenings. I cannot wait to return! 5 stars indeed:-)

The Bonita Bitty Beach Cottage
I stayed at bitty beach house with my 2 adult sons for 5 nites it was great. We caught snapper, sea trout, snook& catfish in canal. Great location close to beach, Lovers key, short drive to Fort Meyers beach & easy access to hwys.

Joy's Beach Cottage
Joy was a delightful host and we loved her cute little cottage! She was super responsive to a couple concerns we raised and eager to provide a great stay. The cottage was a cozy retreat in which she takes great pride, and she has created a beautiful and relaxing tropical oasis around the outdoor patio. We’d be delighted to stay there again in the future.

Flamingo Bay Cottage
RedAwning was the perfect accommodation for our 3-day fishing trip. We docked the boat directly behind the house, which was equipped with a fish-cleaning station and comfortable outdoor patio. The hosts were friendly and responsive, even offering to replace the coffee maker we were having some trouble with. The house was clean and comfortable, and the kitchen well-equipped (including complimentary wine and water bottles!). It would have been nice to have a second bathroom, but otherwise it was perfect!

Bonita Springs Beach Escape 83
Everything was great. Can recommend!

Boat access only beach cottage
We cannot say enough about how much we love Barbara’s place on Little Gasparilla Island! It’s so homey and peaceful. This is our second visit, and we’re already looking forward to coming back again! Barbara and Bret are excellent hosts and always make us feel welcome. The location is perfectly peaceful and yet only a short walk to the miles of tranquil beach.

Happily Ever After
The most accommodating hosts we’ve ever had in such an amazing place! 10/10!!!

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!

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!

Classic 2BR dog-friendly cottage with kitchen
We loved our stay!
