About the host
Hosted by Gary W Skillestad Sr Owner/Manager
Gary W Skillestad is part owner/manager along with my sister Sue. We inherited this property from my Uncle Dean Hendryx and Aunt Beverly. They taught my family to love the mild weather and attractions of the Gulf Coast. After a commercial illustration career, creating and running a 3 location childcare center for 10 years and raising 4 children I'm looking forward to retirement years. I now have a girlfriend, four granddaughters and am on social security. But it looks like I'll continue to work for awhile. I've started GWSkilly's Insurance for Medicare & other licensed in WI, MN, IL, IA, NC, & FL.. Therefore, come share our duplex. Take care of it and have a blast. Call with any questions.
Why they chose this property
My father Wayne Skillestad started out by retiring in a modest mobile home in nearby Indian Creek Park. It had great amenities but was cramped and scary during storms. Uncle Dean was also there. But Dean got the chance to move up into a more solid home. This gave us our roots in Ft Myers.
What makes this property unique
Central, convenient location to everything yet just out of the bumper to bumper beach life. You can even walk a couple blocks, get on a trolley and ride to the beach if you want. Great home base in Summer when rates are incredibly low. Look for your retirement dream property while staying here. Plenty of nearby seafood restaurants, bars, grocery stores, shops and great miniature golf places. Go see spring training for the Twins and Red Sox.
