This house was perfect. My wife and I have stayed in so many houses or condos over the years and this tops them all. The decor was so thoughtful and detailed. Location is in a great spot to be able to walk downtown.

This is an adorable house, it's comfortable and clean. Directions to check in and out were clear and easy to follow. The home is both beautiful and artistic. A front porch with ceiling fans and comfortable furniture was a bonus. There is a venue next door as mentioned in the listing - there was music one night, but it wasn't a problem and it stopped early. The location provides easy access to explore the area and it's a short walk to the riverfront downtown area where there are many restaurants.

About the host

Host profile image
Naples, Florida is my hometown and where we started our first vacation property venture. We were voted #1 property in Collier County in 2018. Since then we have owned 5 rentals and enjoyed every minute of creating the perfect experience for our guests.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with downtown Ft. Myers and absolutely love historic homes and neighborhoods! There is always so much to do, the people are friendly, there are an abundance of outstanding restaurants and cafes. It’s a total vibe and we knew we had to be part of it!

What makes this property unique

Our property is a gorgeous historic craftsman with modern amenities, however the history has been carefully preserved throughout the architecture. There’s a large comfortable porch where most days you can feel a soft breeze from the river. The whole home is cozy and full of charm! It’s only 1/2 mile stroll to a vibrant fun downtown also.
