Thru security and toward the grand clubhouse. Your first glimpse of Paradise!
Location: Heritage Palms, Fort Myers, Florida South West, Florida, USA (15 min from RSW, short hop to beach, Sanibel/Captiva, Naples)
Accommodations: Condominium, 2 Bedrooms + Den, 2 Baths (Sleeps 6-8)
You've hit the jackpot! You've found perhaps the nicest condo (or that's what everyone that sees it tells us) in the nicest gated community in Fort Myers. Our 1500 s.f. five year old, ground floor end unit gets sunlight and fresh breezes from three sides, and is easily accessible from your reserved parking space in front of the building with no stairclimbing neccessary. Situated on the 18th fairway of the Royal course, it is a five minute walk to the clubhouse, main pool and pro shop, with a private pool in the building next door. It would be easy to spend a month here without a car!
When you rent our place, you'll also be able to assume our club membership for two. Your membership provides you the use of all our impressive facilities, including a very nicely equipped and recently renovated gym/weightroom, pools, and private recreation and dining facilities. Membership also grants you full access to our two beautiful golf courses with all member privileges, including ability to book tee times, use of practice facilities, and locker room and bag storage. If you are used to private club treatment, or would like to try it, you will definitely not be disappointed!
We set this place up for ourselves to enjoy. We have furnished it quite nicely with quality furniture, five TVs, including a 51" set with HD service in the living room, a workstation with your own PC and peripherals, WiFi hookup, and more extras and amenities than you would expect to find.

- View/Location
- Lakefront: Only the span of the 18th fairway separates your lanai from the lake. The high point of your day will be grilling your dinner and enjoying a beverage on the lanai and watching the last few groups of golfers come in as the orange and red Florida sun mirrors itself into the lake at sunset.
- Golf Course Front: Our lanai is just inside the 150 marker on the 18th hole of the Royal course, but it's situated so a shot is never hit close enough to us for the players to notice we're there. A great idle pastime of mine is to sit there, watch the approach shots to the 18th green and try to figure out who won the match.
