Why the Owner Chose Colonial Country Club
We love the Fort Myers area and the Gulf Coast of Florida. We enjoy travelling to Sanibel Island, the outdoor shopping malls, the close proximity to nearby sport arenas and the convenience to the local airport.
The Unique Benefits at this Carriage Home
We truly enjoy the relaxing environment of our gated community. While it is not limited to retirees, the majority of residents are adults of various ages. We also like the versatility of amenities the community has on the property, from the golf course, to dining, and health club. The office staff is superb and ALWAYS helpful. We especially enjoy that each neighborhood has its own pool which is only a short walk to where we enjoy the sun, pool and hot tub overlooking the lake. We find it is also the information mecca of the neighborhood!

My husband and myself are in our early fifties and mid forties, respectively, have two boys of college age and live in New England. We have always love the warm weather of Florida, have several friends in Fort Myers and enjoy vacationing on the Gulf Coast. We hope to someday winter in our vacation home and currently enjoy our visits.
