What a gem this cottage is! The pictures were lovely but donât begin to do it justice. Opening the door I was absolutely delighted to see where Iâd be living for the month of February. Owners Barb and Glenn were excellent to work with, the beds were comfy, the street was quiet and the beach access was a short walk away. I recommend this cottage enthusiastically the next time you are headed to Fort Myers Beach. Itâll feel like your home away from home!!
This hidden gem was perfect for us. The location was great! Only 5 blocks from the only supermarket in town,4 blocks from the best beachfront park in town ( Newton park) and close enough to Times Square to get there by a 15 minute bike ride and avoid Ft Myers Beachâs notorious traffic and parking congestion. There is even a laundromat less than a mile away if you need even more facilities than come with the cottage. The historic era cottage is clean and super cute. Everyone loved it! Itâs well decorated and the kitchen is well stocked. As avid tea drinkers, the only thing missing was a tea kettle and we quickly took care of that minor problem! We would definitely rent it again and hope to do so in the future.
My husband and I spent the month of March at this lovely beach cottage. Just 1 block to the Gulf, and 4 doors down from the bay where there is a great dock. The house provided all the amenities we needed for a month! Comfy bed, good shower, good internet. Very private - there is a 'front house' on the street, but even when guests were staying there, we had plenty of privacy and our own outdoor space. The outside deck was terrific and we grilled many times. Glenn and Anne were super responsive. Don't hesitate to stay here!
We are laidback beach combers with five kids and our Black Lab Zeus. We live to meet people, entertain and spend time with family and friends. We grew up in New Hampshire but were born with a Florida soul in that we hate cold weather. We currently bop back and forth between New Hampshire and our Island paradise living in both areas.
We have been coming to Fort Myers Beach for 25 years and has always been our dream to own a home on Estero Island. The vibe and the laid back Jimmy Buffett mentality of the locals just fit us and what we are all about.
What sold us on this cottage was that first time we walked out of the driveway with coffee in our hands and our toes hit the sand before our third sip. Not to sound corny but we just kind of looked at each other and smiled because we both knew we were finally home.
