About the host
Hosted by Michelle Adkins
My husband Steve and I have lived in Fort Myers for over 30 years. We enjoy all the outdoor activities our beautiful weather accommodates. We have always enjoyed staying in boutique rentals because they reflect local culture and history. We also enjoy a personalized experience and the intimacy a smaller rental offers for a private and cozy stay. Our rentals have all of this and are also in a vibrant and walkable area.
Why they chose this property
The neighborhood that our rentals are located in use to be the cattle run of the beloved Cracker Cows. We love the rich history of old Fort Myers and we bring this to you through the decor of our rentals. They all have a distinctive design and atmosphere.
What makes this property unique
Our properties are all located together on one parcel of land. The location of them sets us apart because we are in walking distance of the River District including all the shopping, restaurants, and entertainment you could desire. It also is next to Centennial Park that has a walking path meandering along the Caloosahatchee River where you can watch the sunset or hike over the bridge for some exercise. You can walk to museums, breweries, and even the grocery. We have an outdoor courtyard for Cottages A and B that is under old oak trees that provides beautiful shade and recliners to sip tea or bubbly in the afternoon. Cottage C has its own salt water hot tub. All the cottages have private areas with firepits for chilly nights!
