Vernon was the perfect host, making sure we had everything we needed for our stay! Beautifully decorated, well-stocked kitchen, fabulous beds! This house is located just a few miles from the interstate, but well-outside the hustle of the more touristy areas -- a great location for our explorations of nature preserves and museums. I hope we can rent it again next year!

Excellent Stay

Property was very clean upon arrival and Vern was a pleasure to work with. The property is in a very quiet area and we slept great at night. This house had everything we needed for our stay and there is a publix grocery store and a gas station 5 minutes down the road.

Nice rural getaway

Rural, farm like feel, just outside Ft. Myers. Vern was a great host, was available for any questions or adjustments to my schedule. He introduced me to Chucky, the donkey next door, and I fed him carrots most evenings. Well maintained property, spacious feel, very quiet, yet convenient to any Ft. Myers destination. Hope to book again next year.

Great quiet getaway

The property was perfect for the 4 of us (all retired). Quiet, relaxing, and comfortable. It's not too close to the city to be noisy and crowded. Instead, it's away from the crowd but easy to get to where you want. Vern, the property owner, was very hospitable and answered any question we had. If you don't need to be right on the beach and instead want some space and quiet, this would be a great choice.

Highly recommend for anyone looking for a nice, quiet place to relax with family and loved ones.

Property was very clean and tidy upon arrival, owner was extremely nice and a pleasure to work with. Out back of property is really well set up with several lounge areas as well as a pond and fire pit. Every bedroom in the house was nice and roomy with a tv for each room. All together it was a perfect getaway for my girlfriend and myself.

Peaceful & Beautiful Property

The property as well as the homeowner were amazing! The home is 5 minutes from town but feels like you’re in your own world. The peacefulness of the country home, the sounds of the birds, the view & access to feed the neighbor’s horses was just what we were looking to get out of our trip. The owner is personable & the house is super clean and has everything you need!

Janice and her mom we're very excellent guest they were very easy to talk to and communicated very well they left my home very clean and tidy it was much appreciated unfortunately Janice and her mom went back a little bit earlier then they expected but I would most certainly welcome them back they were very awesome guest always on the go I could hardly catch them at home thanks again Janice. If you could Janice when you get a minute if you could please text me what areas and or what items you found that needed some additional attention I would really appreciate it because I personally do all the cleaning after each guest including Windows blinds ceiling fans Cabinetry is excetera so I certainly would appreciate knowing the items you found so that I can get those addressed thank you again and hope to see you next year maybe
