About this property

Hidden Tropical Oasis Near Beaches | Outdoor Fireplace, Saltwater Pool, Spa & Ultimate Privacy

Tucked away beneath towering palms and surrounded by lush tropical greenery, this hidden South Fort Myers retreat feels worlds away from the crowds — yet beaches, restaurants, shopping, and entertainment are all just minutes from your doorstep. If you’ve been searching for a vacation home that feels private, peaceful, family-friendly, and unlike the typical cookie-cutter Florida rental, you’ve found it.



Set beside an undeveloped preserve on a quiet unpaved road just off historic McGregor Boulevard, the property offers a rare “Old Florida” atmosphere filled with swaying palms, banana trees, coconut trees, and incredible privacy in every direction. Guests looking for a polished subdivision setting should note this home has a more secluded, natural, rural-feel environment — one of the very things many visitors end up loving most about it.



Designed for relaxed Southwest Florida living, the home combines comfortable indoor spaces with an unforgettable outdoor oasis that quickly becomes the heart of your vacation. Spend your days floating in the heated saltwater pool beneath the screened lanai, soaking in the spa, grilling dinner outdoors, or gathering around the unique wood-burning fireplace as evening settles over the preserve.



Inside, nearly 1,700 square feet of living space includes 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and sleeping accommodations for up to 8 guests with an owner-provided queen air mattress. The open main living area gives everyone room to relax together, with a reclining sectional, large Smart TV with Xfinity cable, electric fireplace, dining table for 8, and easy access to the outdoor living space.



The kitchen is fully equipped for vacation meals at home, featuring stainless steel appliances, granite counters, a refrigerator with water and ice maker, bar seating for 3, cookware, dinnerware, small appliances, and kitchen tools.



The split-bedroom floor plan gives families and groups extra privacy. The primary suite includes a king bed, Smart TV with Xfinity cable, and ensuite bathroom with dual sink vanity, private toilet room, and a large walk-in shower with dual shower heads, including a relaxing rainfall shower. One guest bedroom offers a queen bed and Smart TV with Xfinity cable, while the second guest bedroom includes two twin beds. A shared guest bathroom has a bathtub/shower combination.



Outdoors, this home truly separates itself from the average vacation home. The fully screened lanai includes a private heated saltwater pool with waterfall feature, spa, sundeck, rattan seating area, bar-height table, and Smart TV with Xfinity cable. Just beyond the lanai, enjoy an open patio with a wood-burning fireplace, outdoor dining table, chaise loungers, and self-service grill. Guests provide their own wood, charcoal, or propane as needed.



Additional conveniences include a laundry room with washer, dryer, and laundry tub; full-sized garage refrigerator/freezer for guest use; bed linens; bath, pool, and kitchen towels; unlimited WiFi; and driveway parking.



The location is wonderfully convenient while still feeling tucked away.



You’ll be approximately 3 miles from the Fort Myers Beach trolley station, 5 miles from Fort Myers Beach, 6 miles from the Sanibel Causeway, 9 miles from downtown Fort Myers, and 17 miles from RSW International Airport.



Spend your vacation shelling on Sanibel, exploring Captiva, relaxing on Fort Myers Beach, dining along McGregor or in the River District, golfing, kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, biking, or simply enjoying your own private tropical retreat at home.

Winter Getaway

Great place for friends of over 40 years to gather for a few days while we escaped winter's grasp. The home is very well appointed, plenty spacious, and the landscaping out back by the pool/hot tub makes for a very private oasis. A tremendous value! We will be back.

Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear that you found the house clean, the location safe, and the surroundings quiet. However, we were disappointed to hear about your concerns with the pool area. We never received any communication from you during your stay regarding the pool, and had we known, we would have been happy to take a look for you. We take the cleanliness of the property seriously and will make sure the pool area is attended to. We appreciate your input and hope to welcome you back in the future.

We've stayed in Fort Meyers for our last 3 vacations. This was by far the best house we've stayed in. Our only complaint would be the beds. This place could definitely use some new mattresses. We would stay here again hands down. Great location to Fort Meyers Beach and Sanibel, close to stores and restaurants. We would recommend this house to anyone staying in this location.

Great for the family

It was the perfect size for our family of 6. The secluded area around it made it feel relaxed as we arrived. It had everything we needed for our stay. The kids spent as much time in the pool as they did the house. The location is spot on! It provides easy access to everywhere we wanted to go. Text messages from property owners were returned quickly. The only thing I would say is that we would’ve liked to have had the checkout instructions earlier or a print out of everything at the property itself.

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review! We’re so happy to hear the home was the perfect fit for your family and that you enjoyed the peaceful setting, convenient location, and, of course, the pool—which sounds like a hit with the kids! We're also glad communication was smooth during your stay. Thank you for the helpful feedback regarding the checkout instructions. While providing checkout details 24 hours before departure is fairly standard for vacation rentals, we understand the desire to have that information earlier or available in print at the property. An email was also sent prior to your stay with all the property details, including check-in and checkout info—so be sure to check your inbox or spam folder just in case! We truly appreciate your suggestions and would love to host your family again in the future!
