Ft Myers Beach is a resort island that you will never have to leave. Restaurants, 7 miles of white sand Beach, all the water sports you can imagine, Main Street has bars, shopping, waterslide for the kids and a pier for fishing. I wanted to add a quick note regarding the Air Conditioning that was mentioned by one of our guests in there review. Before the summer season we will be installing A/C in each bedroom as well so this will help keep the home extra cool in the summer months during the weeks that it may be excessively hot. We always strive to fix any concerns that our guests have to ensure we provide a fantastic home for your holiday so we have decided to undertake the task and expense to update this issues for our guests.

This is our home too, we take great pride in it and we ask that you respect it and treat it as you would your own. If you want a little pampering, there is a spa within just a few blocks of the home if you wish to pamper yourself with one of their outstanding spa treatments.

Further details for this vacation house rental in Fort Myers Beach, Florida

Welcome to Widgeon Cottage! : Time to relax and enjoy beautiful Fort Myers Beach Florida in this luxury 3 bedroom home. This home is located in a quiet residential area and is not for the party crowd. If you want to enjoy a relaxing family vacation in an exceptionally clean and well maintained home - Widgeon Cottage is the place for you. We bought our home 4 years ago and it has been a dream come true for us. We just love relaxing on the dock in the morning watching the back bay and sipping our coffee and lounging by the pool in the afternoon or walking the beach or having breakfast at the Munch Box. Lisa the owner always has a great breakfast at a great price and they are all so friendly, you will feel right at home. Head over to the Outrigger at night for a cold beverage with the boys, Jim, Phil or Nick and sit and watch one of the most spectacular sunsets you will ever see! We have a guide book that we keep updated at the house on tips for restaurants and places to go, plus a guest book with guest suggestions.

Relax and enjoy the features: Our Jimmy Buffet inspired casual, fun home provides you a large main floor unit with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, complete kitchen and complete privacy of grounds and pool/spa for your stay. Fully furnished and equipped. Outside relax in the Adirondack chairs on the dock, sit by on the deck by the pool and enjoy your meals or just reading a book or hit the pool and spa for some relaxation or for a little water sports. The Kids are guaranteed to love the pool! We have lots of pool and beach toys for the kids! You can rent a boat within one mile of the house to enjoy the gulf or back bays or walk 2 blocks to 7 miles of white sandy beaches on the gulf. Within less than a mile of the home there is also a movie theatre, convenience store, restaurants and a bank. Within 1 mile is Santini Plaza where you will find wonderful shops, outstanding restaurants from the top seafood restaurant in the area (in my humble opinion) to casual sports bar with great pizza - and they deliver pizza too!

Never Leave the Island: Ft Myers Beach is an all inclusive island, you will never have to leave if you don't want to. Take a short drive or take the trolley system for .25 and head up to Time Square for some dining and dancing or some great shopping. Hit the beach for a walk do a little shelling and watch the dolphins fish or the pelicans diving for fish or do some fishing yourself, or simply plop down in the sand and just relax and watch the world go buy. So pack your shorts and bathing suit, start singing like the Beach Boys & head to Widgeon Cottage Aruba, Jamaica ooo I wanna take you * Time Square, the beach come on pretty mama * Key Largo, Montego baby why don't we go * Ft Myers Beach * Off Estero Blvd * There's a place called Widgeon Cottage * That's where you wanna go to get away from it all * * Down at Widgeon Cottage (ok, so I won't be getting a job as a song writer any time soon)

Great place, close to everything still no noise

Roland Koek Netherlands
Review Submitted: August 31, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
What a great house! We stayed here in July 2009 and had an amazing time. Walking distance to beach and shops, tasty restaurants in the neighboorhood but no noise and a very private place! We enjoyed the deck, the spacious livingroom and kitchen. We felt at home!
Owner's Response: We were so pleased to hear from our guests informing us of the wonderful time they had at our home. It always makes us feel proud that our guests find our home comfortable and "homey" feeling, as this is the most important part of the rental home anyone selects. So much time is spent in the home you choose to rent so for us knowing we meet our guests expectations and that they have a wonderful time pleases us very much. We are continually decorating and improving the home to keep it in tip top shape for our guests. We hope to have this family back again, as they have told us they would love to come again.

Everything you could ask for and a little bit more

Review Submitted: September 25, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
Just spent two weeks at Widgeon Cottage and this place is exactly what it says it is and more.

The property is clean, spacious and homely. It is in a great location for a nice quiet holiday, yet is only a few minutes walk away from the beach, local resataurants and bars (don't miss the sunsets at The Outrigger with a nice cold beer or cocktail). A five minute drive and you are in the livelier end of the island with even more things to do.

The booking process couldn't have been easier. Michelle is extremely helpful in answering any questions you may have and is very prompt in her replies.

For a nice relaxing holiday by the pool or sitting out on the back dock (look out for the dolphins swimming in the channel) this is the place to go and I would recommend it to anyone.

Review Submitted: September 12, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We stayed in July. Awesome pool. Great location. The property was very clean. Michelle was great. You could walk to the beach. I think this property is more suited for families with children. I stayed here with 2 cousins. We were a little disappointed that there were two window unit air conditioners. It would of been nice to have at least one full size shower.
Owner's Response: We feel so strongly that the home you select is vital to a great holiday. We are saddened to here that our guests were disappointed with a few things. We always welcome input from our guests and we do what we can to remedy any issues, such as adding items guests felt we were lacking etc. Each bathroom has a standard size shower stall. The air conditioning has always been sufficient to cool the home. July can be a hot month in Florida making it difficult to cool any home and the time these gals spent there was during an extremely hot week.
