Homely and unpretentious in a fantastic position

This bungalow is in a super location, literally 3 mins walk from a white sandy beach. The pool is great, peaceful and clean and looks out on to the dock where you can see manatees and numerous birds from your sun lounger. In the villa the kitchen and bathrooms could do with a little updating, however it does feel very home from home with plenty of spare towels, inflatables, fishing kit, cool box etc.and as you spend so much time outside everything is perfectly adequate. There are some great places to visit in the vicinty; we enjoyed fishing off Fort Myers Beach pier (yellow tail snapper, catfish and snook), swimming and shelling at Lovers Key, shopping at Coconut Grove (?) Mall and eating at the many lovely restaurants in the area. Our favourites were The Bistro next to the nearby Publix (need to book) and Charlies Steakhouse Grill down the road.
Getting to Fort Myers from Miami takes 3hrs and for most of that it is through the Everglades so there are no facilities or petrol. Make sure you take water, it gets hot!
If, like us, you arrive late at night, it is very dark entering the villa as the light switches dont work, you need to put a lamp on!
Would I recommend this place? Yes, very much so, however we did not receive any communication from the new owners so dont expect a receipt for your payment!
