Things to do

Our villa is situated close to Fort Myers which nestles off the Gulf Coast and is located only 30km North of Naples and south of Sarasota. Its palm fringed avenues and white sandy beaches make this an ideal holiday destination. The area boasts every shop and restaurant imaginable, with various arts and entertainment attractions.

 

Fort Myers is part of Lee Island Coast which is know as Florida’s Tropical Island Paradise and the Tourist Information web site at www.leeislandcoast.com will provide you with information about places of interest, sporting venues, events, etc during your visit.

This wonderful holiday destination has a warm sub-tropical climate providing sunshine all year round with an average winter temperature in the mid 70’s.

 

Fort Myers has the finest New York designer stores; indoor air-conditioned malls and the famous outlets where you can find named brands at a fraction of the retail price. The area has some 20 different beaches including the islands of Sanibel and Captiva with their white sandy beaches, and turquoise waters.

If you prefer beaches with amenities then try Fort Myers Beach with its beach bars and restaurants, water sports and sea fishing. Just south of Fort Myers are Bonita Beach & Vanderbilt Beach. Along this stretch of coastline there are numerous beautiful public beaches and wildlife parks with Naples and the Everglades within an hours drive away.

There are various trips to the Everglades with a trip on an "airboat" essential to appreciate the wildlife.

There are some 50 golf courses with most hiring out sets of clubs. The Edison & Ford Winter Homes on McGregor Blvd are an interesting "step back in time" and well worth a visit.

Or, if you prefer doing nothing at all, just enjoy the tranquility of the house pool and read a book or enjoy some company at the community pool which is exclusive to the sub division.
