  We have just spent the whole of January 2012 in this wonderful property and we really didn't want to leave! It is even more elegant and comfortable than it appears in the photographs and the owners have taken endless thought and care to provide the highest quality furnishings, equipment and household goods, making it a really luxurious 'home away from home'. Everything was immaculate, there was nothing that we needed that wasn't provided, and it was all provided in such a charming manner. The property has a lovely, airy, spacious feel to it, due to the way it has been furnished and the owners' taste. The location is delightful too, overlooking the 3rd tee on the Sound Course and just a minute's walk from one of the lovely community swimming pools.

  Recommended for: Sightseeing, romantic getaway, age 55+, people with disabilities.

  We stayed in this carriage home several years ago and found it to be extremely comfortable, well maintained, and elegantly furnished. The kitchen had everything we required, not that cooking was high on our list of things to do, as nearby restaurants offer excellent variety and quality. But we did enjoy grilling steaks at the pool just a short walk down the street. A ground floor unit on a quiet street overlooking the golf course, we liked that the master bedroom suite was separated from the other two bedrooms. A delightful, screened patio overlooking the 3rd tee of one of Pelican Sound’s golf courses is large enough for outdoor dining for four and peaceful lounging on most comfortable furniture. And since the patio faces north, the temperature of this shady nook remains pleasant throughout the day. The large master bedroom, also overlooking the golf course, offers plenty of closet space in a dressing area enroute to an over-sized master bathroom. The second bedroom faces a quiet, landscaped courtyard that overlooks the street and is perfectly situated near a full bathroom. While the third bedroom is presently configured as an office, its furnishings include a comfortable sofa bed. It, too, is steps away from the full bathroom. A washer/dryer room just off the two-car garage makes it easy for long stays, and it is situated so that its use doesn’t disturb the main living areas of the house. Ample counterspace and new appliances make this home appealing to anyone with a serious interest in cooking in a well-equipped kitchen. Pelican Sound offers three, manicured, 9-hole courses, a beautiful clubhouse, and a restaurant that serves well-prepared, creative meals overlooking the largest pool. A unique feature of this community is a private, covered, pontoon boat that takes residents 7-1/2 miles through twisting mangroves and amazing bird-watching opportunities to one of Fort Meyer’s desirable beaches on the Gulf. Outside Pelican Sound there are many shops, restaurants and available activities within easy driving distances. And Fort Meyers and Naples are close enough so that even rainy days can be filled with wonderful events and destinations. My wife and I stayed at this wonderful residence for two weeks, and found it to be the easiest place to settle into of any we have previously rented. We look forward to a month-long stay in the very near future and know that it will feel like coming home. Simply a great experience!

  We stayed in this immaculately maintained, beautifully furnished home several years ago. It had every amenity we needed and was perfectly situated for shopping, restaurants, and entertainment. The addition of granite makes it even more enticing for us, We hope to return in the near future.
