Colonial Country Club is an access-controlled, gated community. The gatehouse is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. As a renter, you are given a pass that allows you to easily enter the community without waiting.
We've prepared a comprehensive renter's guide with everything you need to know to have a great rental experience, such as how to adjust the A/C, use the TV remotes, fire up the grill, find the spare smoke detector, etc. (We've rented other people's homes ourselves, and have discovered that not having a good user manual can be a real hassle when you're trying to figure something out for the first time.)
Fee Explanation: Colonial Country Club (like other upscale country clubs in the area) requires renters to complete a simple HOA rental application (the non-refundable fee is $100) for identity verification and a criminal background check (which requires renter's social security number). The community also requires a $270 fee to transfer the social membership from the owner to the renter for the duration of their rental period. We pay a property manager $150 to clean our home after/before each guest. (Although VRBO calls all of these fees 'Owner Fees,' we do not receive any of these payments.)
Obtaining HOA Rental Approval Process: We will email the HOA application to you within 24 hours of your booking. Renters are expected to return the completed application within 72 hours of receiving it. If it's not returned, we reserve the right to respectfully cancel the rental agreement and issue a refund.
Colonial Country Club is conveniently located off Colonial Boulevard, an east-west thoroughfare near Interstate 75. You’re a short drive away from Red Sox and Twins training camps, SWFL airport, malls, restaurants, hospitals and Lee County's favorite beaches, including Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel Island and Captiva Island.
