Great stay

Rental was perfect for our long weekend with 6 adults. Easy and quick walk to the beach. Only negative was everything was driving distance (except beach). Otherwise a lovely area. There were plenty of towels, beach chairs and a wagon for hauling items to and from.

Relaxing Vacation

This unit was perfect for our trip. It's just a short walk to the beach and the unit has beach chairs an umbrella to use. We enjoyed being able to sit outside in the evening on the patio. There are several restaurants and bars close by to enjoy good food and beverages. Bob and Molly are great hosts and even reached out to us before we got there to get our arrival time so they could have the lights on if it was late. Thank you so much for sharing your beach cottage with us. We will absolutely be back again!

Charming Cottage

This is the second year we have stayed at this sturdy, quaint cottage. Easy check in with the nicest hosts we have rented from. The cottage has everything you possibly need. The quiet beach is a short walk. We appreciate they allow dogs, which our dog loved the walks on the dog friendly beach! The area is slowly recovering from the hurricane, but we were surprise to see that some stores and restaurants have already opened back up. We can’t wait to go back!!

Ok

Bob and Molly were excellent hosts. The major drawback was the new construction going on all around us. Noisy. But that isn’t the host fault and it soon will be done in their location!

Sehr sauber und super Lage

Wir heben unsere ersten Tage nach der Ankunft in Fort Myers hier verbracht.Die Wohnung hat alles, was man braucht und war bei unserer Ankunft sehr sauber und schön vorbereitet für uns. Alle Zimmer sind klimatisiert, was im Sommer sehr angenehm war.Die Hosts Molly und Bob waren sehr freundlich, jederzeit ansprechbar und boten ihre Hilfe an für Fragen jeglicher Art.Der Check in war ganz unkompliziert, was für uns sehr angenehm war, da wir mitten in der Nacht erst ankamen.The Islands Pancake-House in der Nähe (fußläufig nach Nord-West) ist für Frühstück und Lunch sehr zu empfehlen. Wir haben die 3 Tage dort sehr lecker gefrühstückt.

Had a fabulous stay! Hosts were great and very accommodating! There were plenty of towels, beach toys, umbrellas, etc that bringing your own just wastes room for souviners. Kids enjoyed their first beach vacation, and we enjoyed our stay! Great vantage point for both the beach, local shopping and site seeing!Beds were comfy, everything we needed was right there for kitchen necessities! A bit buggy on the patio, as is most of florida, so bring your bug spray!

Would give 10 stars if I could!

We had an amazing vacation while staying at the cottage. I would surely give 10 stars in every review category. The check in/out process could not have been easier; Molly and Bob are kind and gracious hosts and we loved our chats with them! The property description was accurate and the cottage was very clean. Do NOT overlook this property because it’s is a bit outdated, it is safe, well stocked, cared for by wonderful people and you CANNOT beat the location! We hope to come back soon! ~ Victoria

About the host

Hosted by Bob and Molly Orvis

Host profile image
My husband and I are retired and live the island lifestyle. I was a nurse and my husband worked in landscape and at different health facilities.

Why they chose this property

Our property is a duplex cottage and has been in the family since early 1900’s. There is nothing like island living!

What makes this property unique

Our cottage is a 100 yard walk to the beach. Swimming, sunbathing, playing in the sand, and beautiful sunsets are at your fingertips. We are walking distance from restaurants, downtown, a large library, water park, and gym. There is also a island trolley stop around the corner to take you where you need to go. Jet skiing and parasailing are available down the street from the cottage. On site, we have two patios (covered and uncovered) with BBQ grill, and a hammock.
