Happiness is Rentable: The Lakehouse in South Fort Myers

Welcome to The Lakehouse, a beautifully designed, spacious retreat nestled on a serene lake in the charming McGregor Woods community of South Fort Myers—Florida’s renowned “City of Palms.” This architect-designed 3,100 sq. ft. home offers the perfect blend of comfort, style, and tranquility for extended stays.

With 3 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and dedicated office spaces, the Lakehouse is ideal for guests seeking a peaceful getaway, a seasonal escape, or even a productive remote work environment. The south-facing terrace overlooks the lake, where daily encounters with local wildlife—turtles, herons, ducks, otters, and even the occasional bald eagle—create a true connection with nature. (No alligators here!)

The picturesque McGregor Woods neighborhood, reminiscent of the idyllic “Wisteria Lane,” features mature landscaping, well-kept homes, and a welcoming community atmosphere. Guests also enjoy access to community amenities including a large pool, a basketball court, tennis courts, and a children’s playground.

Please note: due to community regulations, we can offer only one rental per year. This makes The Lakehouse best suited for long-term guests—“snowbirds” or “sunseekers”—looking to stay 2 to 3 months and experience authentic Florida living.
