The Enchanted Cottage on the Imperial River
We had an amazing week at Mona’s Enchanted Cottage! Enchanted we were! Mona is so friendly and communicative, offering tons of great local recommendations. The cottage is cozy, clean, private, and had everything we needed. We loved kayaking—fed turtles, saw manatees swim by, birds, and even an owl! A few small gators kept their distance but not curious enough to bother. Fishing from the dock was fantastic—I caught 25+ fish across 5 different species. There’s definitely more than you can count though. The bait shop with the funny name further down the road had the best bait and tips. The hot tub spa is the super nice kind. We grilled dinner most nights and had no issues with the internet to stream shows when it rained. The town is small and cute. You can definitely find a place to listen to live music every night. Our dog adored the doggy beach, and Barefoot Beach was super close with easy parking at 10 AM. We didn’t want to leave, 10/10—already planning to come back!

Villa The Island Hideaway 2
Wow! We loved this house. Great outdoor seating, loved watching the boats come and go. Pool and hot tub were fantastic. Great flat grill for dinners at home. Good restaurant options in the area. Cape Coral is close to so much, but away from traffic. Loads of windows and natural light. Very clean. Highly recommend.

beautiful beach get away
We spent a great two months in this newly renovated home. It has everything you need from kitchen utensils, towels, bedding, comfortable furniture, washer/dryer, and large screen smart tv. It is very close to the beaches of Ft. Myers and Sanibel. Perfect for a relaxing SW Florida vacation!

The Sanibel Sunshine Cottage
Shawnee, & her husband Dave were wonderful. They kept in touch w/ us, & made sure anything we needed was brought to us. Everything in their home was top shelf. Thank you Shawnee & Dave for a beautiful 2 week stay at your home. Bill & Sharon Hauswirth

Spacious Cottage
The place was very clean, and everything that required was provided. It was in a park setting, which suited us just fine.

Boutique retreat in heart of River District w/spa
Met my mom and sister for a weekend stay at the Cracker Cow Cottage. The home is spotless, adorable and well thought out. We had everything we needed. All the attention to detail shows the host(s) really care about their guest. Michelle is very attentive and is excellent at her job. Highly recommend.

Cape Lake House Lake Front
We had two families and we both enjoyed our stay! The house was very accommodating for both our families with kids. We all enjoyed the salt water pool and patio. The information binder provided gave clear instructions for our stay and provided many recommendations for restaurants and activities to do. Stu and Cathy were very helpful and even personally check on us during our stay!

Captains Cottage
Very nice cottage was perfect for weekend getaway

Sugar Beach Bungalow With a Pool!
Liv was very nice and willing to go above. She was very focused on helping with any needs. The area and the back yard was a family favorite 🙂. We highly recommend her as a host.

Cheerful 3 bedroom Cottage near the beach!
Yuliya is a wonderful host, and we felt right at home! She was very responsive, kind, and left a binder that included some local attractions. The home was extremely clean, and included nice amenities as well. Thank you Yuliya!

A Cozy Cottage Close to Beach and Downtown
Clean and spacious inside with a large yard for dogs on a quiet street. I would definitely stay if I return to the area. 5 stars.

Las Tortugas Azules (The Blue Turtles) - Family Retreat
Michael and Lorna were super friendly and easy going but, at the same time, respected our privacy. The guesthouse was super clean with state-of-the-art appliances and had absolutely everything we needed to prepare our own meals in the beautiful kitchen. The pool area was gorgeous. The weather was on the cool side while we were there, so we didn't get in the water, but we loved sitting outside in the patio area enjoying the beautiful and peaceful surroundings. As an extra added bonus, they have two adorable puppies that were out a few times a day. We loved our extended stay at Las Tortugas Azules and would definitely consider staying there again if in the Naples area.

River Ranch Oaks
This place was a hidden gem! We lucked into it being available last-minute for a three-night stay and couldn’t have been any happier with it. The place was clean, welcoming, and nicely decorated. The kitchen had new appliances, and enough cooking equipment to easily make multiple meals a day. Bathroom was spacious and clean, with a really nice shower. The lot is remarkably quiet and private given its proximity to several main highways. Plenty of restaurants, bars, stores, and more nearby. There’s even a park a just a few-minute walk from the property.

West Coast Island Retreat, Simply Adrift Cottage
By far the most relaxing vacation our family has taken. The home is even more beautiful in person than the pictures show. The host's style and decor are just perfect for a cool beachy vibe which adds to the whole experience of being on LGI. Hosts were extremely accommodating during our stay. We cannot wait to return! ☀️

Lux Sunset on Open Water Cottage 2/2!
Lisa helped resolve minor issues beyond her control and her place is amazing. Highly recommend!!

Cozy Cove
One of the best air bnbs I’ve stayed at in a long time and a great host. It always is so nice when the host provides extras like a few waters, beach chairs, a snack or two, etc and this one had all of the above and then some!

Quaint Florida Style Home
Beautiful area and plenty of beaches close by, we enjoyed our visit.

Cheerful 1-bedroom with excellent amenities.
Holly's home is wonderful. It's clean and well-kept. Siesta is a quiet, comfortable park in a great location. Only minutes to restaurants, stores and the beach. Holly is very attentive and will respond to any communication quickly.

Flamingo Bay Cottage
RedAwning was the perfect accommodation for our 3-day fishing trip. We docked the boat directly behind the house, which was equipped with a fish-cleaning station and comfortable outdoor patio. The hosts were friendly and responsive, even offering to replace the coffee maker we were having some trouble with. The house was clean and comfortable, and the kitchen well-equipped (including complimentary wine and water bottles!). It would have been nice to have a second bathroom, but otherwise it was perfect!

Charming Bungalow in Country Setting
This was a great place and highly recommend it. It's very peaceful. It's very close to things to do. 👍🏼

Boat access only beach cottage
We cannot say enough about how much we love Barbara’s place on Little Gasparilla Island! It’s so homey and peaceful. This is our second visit, and we’re already looking forward to coming back again! Barbara and Bret are excellent hosts and always make us feel welcome. The location is perfectly peaceful and yet only a short walk to the miles of tranquil beach.

Happily Ever After
Michele’s place was the perfect place for my husband and myself. The house was very clean and comfortable. We brought our boat and rented Michele’s golf cart. Michele’s instructions for docking our boat and using the cart was helpful and precise. Michele was very flexible and gracious when we asked to arrive a day earlier. We very much enjoyed our stay and would absolutely stay again and recommend her place to others.

Cheerful 2 Bedroom Home in Naples, FL
We had a fantastic time staying at Maggie's house ! The house is beautiful, spacious, and well-equipped, making it perfect for our family. The outdoor patio was a lovely spot to relax in the evenings. Location-wise, it couldn't have been better! We were just a short drive away from the beach, restaurants, and local attractions. Maggie's attention to detail and commitment to her guests were evident throughout our stay. She was always available to answer questions and ensure that we had everything we needed. Overall, our family had a fantastic time, and we would highly recommend Maggie's house to anyone looking for a wonderful getaway in Naples. We can’t wait to return!

Cozy Cottage on Direct Access Canal with Boat Lift
Thank you Jodi and Steve for being great hosts! Your place was perfect for us, and you provided everything we needed and more! My boyfriend and I were very impressed and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. I loved the view from the living room and sitting on the deck watching the boats go by. It was a perfect location if you have a boat and want to explore all the nearby islands, which we took full advantage of. Restaurants were also close by and golf cart rental options were available. Thanks for everything, I would definitely go back! Also, I loved the decor, it made the place feel very cozy and calming.
