Cottage rentals with a hot tub

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.

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

Cape Lake House Lake Front
We had two families and we both enjoyed our stay! The house was very accommodating for both our families with kids. We all enjoyed the salt water pool and patio. The information binder provided gave clear instructions for our stay and provided many recommendations for restaurants and activities to do. Stu and Cathy were very helpful and even personally check on us during our stay!

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.

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.

Pet Friendly & 15 min to Beach - New Bathroom!
Thank you for accommodating our last minute request!! We really appreciate the quick communication :)

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

Cozy Cove
One of the best air bnbs I’ve stayed at in a long time and a great host. It always is so nice when the host provides extras like a few waters, beach chairs, a snack or two, etc and this one had all of the above and then some!

The Beach Baby - Across street from beach!
Beautiful Place to relax. Watch the sunrise in the back and easy walk to watch the Sunset in the evening.

Beautiful Country house overlooking 13.5 acres
This was our first time staying in a rental. The experience was amazing and easy. I will definitely stay in this home during our next visit to the Island.

The Bokeelia Cottage
This tini home is great! We had two very nice days - the area is super calm! Out neighbour was a gator - so don’t go for a swim 🫢🙂

Last Minute-Villa Seafan-modern, pool, kayaks
This is a beautiful home. Well appointed and well maintained. Everything was spotless. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!! The host thought of almost everything. Kayaks, bicycles, pool towels, etc. My only recommendations for improvement would be facial tissues and fans for sleeping. That’s it! That’s all I could think of.

Cottage Retreat Minutes from the Beaches
We had a great stay. The cottage was very clean. The location was convenient to activities. Vita was always quick to respond and helpful . We would definitely stay again.

Waterside Cottage
We have rented several homes to vacation in, but this is by far the best, most enjoyable, furnished, clean place that we have ever been to. Thank you and your wife for providing us such a great vacation. Our first visit to the Airbnb was very late arrival -10pm. When we pulled up the entire house was lighted up. Very impressive. Went inside to find a very clean space, opened the refrigerator door to put our food away and immediately noticed the Brita water filter in the refrigerator. Unpacked and went to shower and noticed a full spread of bathroom products for us to use. The feeling of showing up at this house was like showing up at our own home. Most enjoyable home we have ever enjoyed staying at. Thank you Chris and Iveta

Beach House on pond w/ HEATED pool - sleeps 6
We had a great time at Mike's place. The house is in a quiet area. It was all very clean. Kitchen utensils such as spices, coffee, water were provided. The house is very nicely decorated. We particularly liked the heated pool. Mike left us fish food so we could feed the ducks and turtles. The view of the small lake was great. Supermarkets can be reached in 5 minutes by car. The communication with Mike was very good. The house is an absolute recommendation. When we get back to Florida, we'll be back!

Simply Natural Farm Getaway
Friendly owners, private location and a clean place to stay. All you could really ask for. If ever in Fort Meyers again, I would certainly look to come here first.
