Great stay - excellent communication

Dan was great to work with and we very much enjoyed their space. The location is excellent if you want peace and quiet. The screened in patio area is really nice. Well stocked with all the kitchen essentials. This area was hit hard by Hurricane Ian but they are making a nice recovery. Note that this location is not close to the beaches in Fort Myers so keep that in mind, but we drove all the way to Lovers Key State Park twice and Sanibel once and it wasn't an issue - just plan accordingly. Would definitely stay again.

Awesome Family Getaway

We couldn't have found a more comfortable place to spend time. Resteraunts, grocery stores, fishing, canoeing, kayaking and more to do. The entire lanai overlooks the canal and furnished with new furnishings. We all enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend spending time there.
