Waterfall pool, spa, and sunsets...escape to this little treasure surrounded by frangipani, palm trees, and jasmine. My home is nestled in a quiet neighborhood, yet it is just 200 feet to the Gulf of Mexico,and world-class sunsets...
My Key West-style home is newly remodeled throughout "island style" in soft greens and corals; with new kitchen, stainless appliances; granite counters. The master bedroom has a queen-size bed with extra luxurious mattress top and has a private bathroom. The guest room has two twin beds; and the living room has 2 sofas for comfortable seating/ one is a queen sleeper.
Enjoy views of the lagoon pool from the kitchen while preparing a meal or a drink. Dine in the screened lanai overlooking the pool or enjoy the sights and sounds of nature dining out on the brick patio. Pictures do not do my home justice, it is a little gem and my guests keep coming back year after year.
Of course the highlight of my home is the pool, heated to 88 degrees year round and surrounded by beautiful foliage..Cocunut tree, frangipani, and more...a perfect setting for your relaxation. The sound of the spa's waterfalls is heard throughout your day. Enjoy the hot tub in early evening with a cool drink.
Hi speed internet,wireless, dvd and 3 tv's are in my home along with 2 beach bikes,coolers, large beach umbrella, and all the necessities for the beach. My home is on a "beach access" street so no need to walk the highway to get to the beach.
Our beach is seven miles long, and has a variety of beachside restaurants, live music, and shops. You can walk to many of these establishments or enjoy a trolley ride to "Times Square". The "pier" is a favorite place to gather at sunset while enjoying a cocktail...My home is only 1 1/2 mile to the pier.
Besides local amenities listed below; various attractions like Disney World is just three hours away, Busch Gardens is 2 hours away, Disney World, Sanibel/Captiva Islands are 30 minutes and should you feel the need for some alligator sightings...well then Everglades City is just an hour south..and Miami is an hour and a half.
Key West is a lovely day trip by boat with departures daily from Fort Myers Beach, or enjoy one of the many world class golf courses in our area. Deep sea fishing is available for $50! Southwest Florida also has some of the world's best beaches for shelling.
Whether you are looking for a romantic escape or a family gathering, my home is a treasure waiting to be found...and you just might be lucky enough to be here when the banana tree sprouts its annual spread of tasty exotic bananas for your morning breakfast. If not, well then 2 grocery stores are 1 mile away!

The Unique Benefits at this House
There are unique benefits to renting a private home, rather than a condo. You are on vacation so take advantage of it! Unique benefits to my home are privacy from the busy streets; peaceful setting; and the chance to have your own pool and spa without sharing with other condo guests. My home will feel like your own. I have made it comfortable for all and that is why I have repeat customers. When you are in my home, you have a complete view of outdoors, and the pool area which makes you feel like you are living in nature; with all of the palm trees, frangipani and the sound of the waterfall spa....it is wonderful. You will not want to leave!
White sand, tropical breezes and spectacular sunsets are footsteps from my house.

I am a business professional in the area, and work for a local TV station. I love Florida and spend as much time at my beach rental as possible! I love the beach and have lived in the area 25 years. Some of the best times I have had are walking and biking along the 7 mile Gulf of Mexico. You just never know what you will see! I have many many repeat customers and I hope you will be one of them! I can help you with travel ideas once you are here, so feel free to call me!

Dear Ann Marie: I always have so much fun here! I love your pool and I would never get out of it if my grandma didn't make me take a break! I love going to the beach here and the best part is it is right across the street. It is fun to go to the pier and see dolphins in the morning! I wish I did not have to leave tomorrow and I only got tot stay for 3 days but its still fun! I hope I can come back next year! Thank you!
