"A rental home with a bed & breakfast feel!" in Fort Myers

If you're looking for a vacation rental beyond your wildest dreams, this is it!  This is a lovingly restored historic home (1925) near the Edison/Ford Estates. Unique location on quiet dead end street which ends at the Caloosahatchie River.  The Main House  has magical natural light, 3 bedrooms/2.5 bathrooms, wood floors throughout, a working fireplace, eat-in kitchen and numerous access doors opening to the various outside areas. A large covered veranda faces the oversized pool.  The separate Guest House is a large studio with its own full bathroom.  The two houses sit on a large 1/2 acre lot with plenty of sun and shade and are located just one property off the river. Watch the breathtaking sunsets, fall asleep in the backyard hammock or pick your own juicy oranges for breakfast.  The lush fenced-in yard is safe for children and pets and offers guests a sense of complete privacy.  There's even a balcony with a river view off the upstairs master bedroom.  The property is very convenient to beaches, shopping, golf, downtown Fort Myers and the islands of Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel and Captiva.  This is the perfect vacation choice for a family, group of friends/co-workers or a reunion and is also available for weddings, parties and business/organization functions.
