About the home

Our detached single story villa (no stairs) is located in a prestigious cul de sac 180 yds from the Gulf Beaches. The rear of the house has 3 tall bloc sliding windows from the kitchen and lounge onto a large patio/outside dining area with barbeque,sun loungers and large heated swimming pool kept at 82 F all year-- all on one level which brings the outside in and makes for easy living.The Swimming Pool (27ft x 14 Ft) overlooks a tidal saltwater canal and from our private Boat Dock it is only 100 metres into the Bay Waters. Supervision of children using the swimming pool is much easier than a lot of other beach properties that are built on stilts, with the living accommodation on the first floor. We have fishing rods,toys and cool boxes on wheels for the perfect day on the beach or pool.
There is a covered patio area with a Dining Table and Six Chairs with Lighting and Ceiling Fan, a lot of guests dine out here in preference to the Dining Room inside.
The Villa is surrounded by lush lawns and tropical plants, together with 5 species of Palm Tree.
At Sunset (or any time!) walk to the beach with a glass of Wine,a Camera and watch the sunset over Sanibel Island & the Gulf of Mexico.
This area is known as the Platinum Coast of Florida and after visiting some of the other nearby beaches you will appreciate why some 2 years ago we fell in love with the area and in particular Fort Myers Beach and name our property 'Island Dream'
Many of of our guests over the years have said that it is the best located and equipped British owned , weekly rental Beach property in Florida.

The Florida / Florida Gulf Coast region

The area on the Gulf coast from Sanibel/Captiva Island, Fort Myers Beach, Lovers Key , Barefoot Beach and Naples have what are probably the finest beaches in Florida and is known as the Platinum Coast.
The location is ideal for a day visit to to the Everglades, also you may wish to visit the winter homes of Edison and Ford who were great friends and lived next door to each other.

The Fort Myers Beach / Estero Island area

Fort Myers Beach ( Estero Island) is a barrier reef island being some 7 miles long and less than a mile wide.
Fort Myers City is some 10 miles inland where all the major stores will be found.
Fishing,Boating and Golf are the main pastimes and the local wildlife will never cease to amaze you.
Just a short walk from or house a Publix provisions store and a Marina will be found, while some 2 miles north on the Island is where Times Square is located with numerous tourist type shops and eating places with outside dining.
One mile south from our house along the Island there is a Cinema showing all the latest films, here you can also dine while watching a film. A further mile on from here is Santini Shopping with various shops and restaruants.

All the main airlines fly from the UK into Orlando, Miami & Tampa airports.
Budget airlines fly into Sandford & Orlando airports however, we like to fly into Southwest Florida International at Fort Myers (RSW) via various USA hub airports, it is then just an 18 mile drive to the Beach and our house.
We would suggest you hire your car through one of the companies that advertise on Teletext, these use all the major car rental companies such as Dollar, Alamo, Hertz etc.

“Lovely villa in a great location” All our dealings with Roy and Eliza were very friendly, helpful and professional. The information provided was also very helpful in planing our journey. On arrival the villa was clean and had everything that we could want to make our stay relaxing and enjoyable, should there be any problems the maintance company are also located on the island. The villa is very comfortable and has every thing needed for an enjoyable stay, the pool is larger than average and was put to great use. The area and road on which the villa is located is very quiet, the local Publix supermarket is just five minutes walk away. The local island trolly service is excellent with the stop being a five minute walk, access to the beach is just a five minute walk across the road. Overall, we would have no hesitation in recommending the villa to our family and friends and have booked again for 2012 Anne & Dave Essex

Guestbook for Island Dream

* We have been visiting Florida for a number of years, and can safely say that your home was the most
welcoming one we have visited. The beaches are beautiful and we also enjoyed fishing off your Boat Dock.
M.R. Staffs

* We had a lovely time in your villa - the nicest we have ever stayed in due to the homely atmosphere and
fantastic location - it is great to be able to walk to the shops and beach. Please send available dates for next
year. J.W. Hull

* We enjoyed our holiday very much and found the villa very well equipped and comfortable. We were lucky
enough to see a Manatee off your boat dock which our daughter thought was great. C.B. Shrop

* We had a wonderful holiday and your home suited us in every aspect. We were fortunate enough to be visited
by a Dolphin which delighted us all. I anticipate that we would like to come back to the area in 2007 and will
be in touch again to check availability. K.C. Glasgow

* In all our years travelling to Florida we haven't found another house in such a great location. D.R. Essex
