Hidden Tropical Oasis Near Beaches | Outdoor Fireplace, Saltwater Pool, Spa & Ultimate Privacy

3 BR
2 Baths
Sleeps 6
1,686 sq ft.

Tucked away beneath towering palms and surrounded by lush tropical greenery, this hidden South Fort Myers retreat feels worlds away from the crowds — yet beaches, restaurants, shopping, and entertainment are all just minutes from your doorstep. If you’ve been searching for a vacation home that feels private, peaceful, family-friendly, and unlike the typical cookie-cutter Florida rental, you’ve found it.

Set beside an undeveloped preserve on a quiet unpaved road just off historic McGregor Boulevard, the property offers a rare “Old Florida” atmosphere filled with swaying palms, banana trees, coconut trees, and incredible privacy in every direction. Guests looking for a polished subdivision setting should note this home has a more secluded, natural, rural-feel environment — one of the very things many visitors end up loving most about it.

Designed for relaxed Southwest Florida living, the home combines comfortable indoor spaces with an unforgettable outdoor oasis that quickly becomes the heart of your vacation. Spend your days floating in the heated saltwater pool beneath the screened lanai, soaking in the spa, grilling dinner outdoors, or gathering around the unique wood-burning fireplace as evening settles over the preserve.

Inside, nearly 1,700 square feet of living space includes 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and sleeping accommodations for up to 8 guests with an owner-provided queen air mattress. The open main living area gives everyone room to relax together, with a reclining sectional, large Smart TV with Xfinity cable, electric fireplace, dining table for 8, and easy access to the outdoor living space.

The kitchen is fully equipped for vacation meals at home, featuring stainless steel appliances, granite counters, a refrigerator with water and ice maker, bar seating for 3, cookware, dinnerware, small appliances, and kitchen tools.

The split-bedroom floor plan gives families and groups extra privacy. The primary suite includes a king bed, Smart TV with Xfinity cable, and ensuite bathroom with dual sink vanity, private toilet room, and a large walk-in shower with dual shower heads, including a relaxing rainfall shower. One guest bedroom offers a queen bed and Smart TV with Xfinity cable, while the second guest bedroom includes two twin beds. A shared guest bathroom has a bathtub/shower combination.

Outdoors, this home truly separates itself from the average vacation home. The fully screened lanai includes a private heated saltwater pool with waterfall feature, spa, sundeck, rattan seating area, bar-height table, and Smart TV with Xfinity cable. Just beyond the lanai, enjoy an open patio with a wood-burning fireplace, outdoor dining table, chaise loungers, and self-service grill. Guests provide their own wood, charcoal, or propane as needed.

Additional conveniences include a laundry room with washer, dryer, and laundry tub; full-sized garage refrigerator/freezer for guest use; bed linens; bath, pool, and kitchen towels; unlimited WiFi; and driveway parking.

The location is wonderfully convenient while still feeling tucked away.

You’ll be approximately 3 miles from the Fort Myers Beach trolley station, 5 miles from Fort Myers Beach, 6 miles from the Sanibel Causeway, 9 miles from downtown Fort Myers, and 17 miles from RSW International Airport.

Spend your vacation shelling on Sanibel, exploring Captiva, relaxing on Fort Myers Beach, dining along McGregor or in the River District, golfing, kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, biking, or simply enjoying your own private tropical retreat at home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Important note to Airbnb travel guests about the cleaning/housekeeping fee: 
 
This is a combination of the actual cleaning/housekeeping fee, modest booking fee, and state & local taxes, and not the cleaning fee exclusively.
 
Our cleaning/housekeeping fees vary based on size of property, number of bedrooms & bathrooms, pool patio homes, garages, etc. They typically range between $125-$325 based on the aforementioned.

The booking fee is $89. 
 
Airbnb does not currently allow hosts to itemize these fees on their site which is why we'd like to explain what otherwise appears to be an excessive cleaning fee expense. 
 
Thank You,
Management

Winter Getaway
5/5 stars
Great place for friends of over 40 years to gather for a few days while we escaped winter's grasp. The home is very well appointed, plenty spacious, and the landscaping out back by the pool/hot tub makes for a very private oasis. A tremendous value! We will be back.
- Scott

Hi Scott - thank you so much for the 5-star review! We're delighted to hear that you and your friends had a wonderful time here escaping the winter. We look forward to welcoming you back for another visit!

Sanibel Trip
4/5 stars
We were pleasantly surprised when going down a gravel road to see it led to a pretty property that was secluded, private and quiet. This was even more evident when we saw the back yard with mature trees that made for a beautiful setting. We did miss having TV's in the other 2 bedrooms but it worked out ok with the kids watching the TV by the pool. The home was clean and inviting. The owners have left in the garage chairs, coolers, umbrellas etc. to use if you go to the beach. The beds were extremely comfortable so if there are any negatives it would be the master shower that I used didn't have very much water pressure and the pool had algae around the skimmer and a few places in the tile and the pool had alot of small debris floating. The screen in the lanai had a few places that need repair too, but the outside area was very nice with a fireplace that could be used along with a grill. All of the furnishings both inside and out were nice quality. This is definitely a place we would return to due to how close we were to Ft. Myers, Sanibel and Cape Coral.
- Cynthia

Hi Cynthia - thank you for sharing your review! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the secluded and private setting, as well as the beautiful backyard. Please be advised there is a TV in the TV cabinet in the guest queen bedroom in addition to the master bedroom, living room and lanai. We're sorry to learn you didn't notice the TV in the guest queen bedroom. It's great to know that the home was clean and inviting, and that you found the beds extremely comfortable. We appreciate your feedback regarding the lanai screen. Regarding the pool, it is serviced weekly, but it's impossible to guarantee that debris from native bugs and landscaping will not get in. Thank you for choosing to stay with us, and we hope to welcome you back for another enjoyable visit!

5/5 stars
Great place, we had a wonderful time! Very clean, very spacious. The outside pool/patio area was very accommodating for family and friends to come visit and hang out for a BBQ. We loved the privacy of the trees surrounding the back of the property. The property manager was quick to answer any questions. We had an issue with our dryer not working and the property manager had someone out to fix it within two hours. We had a very relaxing vacation and no issues with the property, we will definitely be renting this place again! Also, kitchen was well equipped with all we needed. The fridge in the garage was a huge plus for extra space needed. Plenty of bath towels , pool towels, even pool toys for the kids to enjoy. The extra air mattress was a plus as well as all the extra blankets/pillow available.

Nice Home
5/5 stars
Overall, the home was very nice. The homes in the area were mixed types, with this home one of the nicest. Extremely quiet, private and spacious backyard. The homes were spaced apart, unlike the newer subdivisions. The pool and hot tub area were beautiful and there was a separate patio area outside the pool screen which allowed for a nice tanning area. The bed was very comfortable as was the living room. We did not utilize the kitchen much, but it seemed adequate. The extra bedrooms were nice. We were not told that the home was not shingled, but had no water issues even during torrential rains. There was an odd on and off pumping sound in the master bedroom and bathroom area in the late night and early morning. Management was responsive with service men to check it out, but no one could find the source. Finally after a week, I discovered that the pool had an automatic fill valve which turned on late at night and early in the morning as the pool water evaporated. The noise was easily resolved by turning the outside water spigot off at night and on in the morning. Overall, the home was very nice and comfortable and fit all our needs. The management was extremely responsive. We would definitely rent again. The only minor suggestion would be to put towel racks or hooks in the master bathroom. The home was also very close to the popular Deep Lagoon and Lazy Flamingo restaurants.
- Ron

Hi Ron - thanks so much for the 5 star rating. We're so happy you enjoyed your vacation and found the home to be comfortable & provide everything needed! The new roof is in place post-Ian, but the metal exterior is backordered due to supply issues and scheduled to be installed mid-April. We appreciate your kind words of our team and welcome you again!

Nice Vacation Home
5/5 stars
To be honest, the road to the home had us worried it was washed out and very bumpy (to be expected after the weather you had). Once at the house everything was as it should be, a few minor issues but I report those right away and attached pictures. Pool and Hot tub were a big hit with our kids, outside space was great. I would recommend this home to others staying in the Fort Myers area 100%.
- Chad

Hi Chad - thanks so much for taking time to share your experience. We're really happy you & your family enjoyed your stay and everything the home has to offer. The pool & hot tub are always a favorite, especially for kids! Since your stay, the road has been graded so it is flat; new gravel has been added. We appreciate the 5 star rating and welcome you again!

Great Stay!
5/5 stars
Loved the layout of the property-great room and lanai/pool. Kitchen was well stocked. Great location-near Gulf Harbour CC where grandparents live and close to beaches, shopping etc. Property manager was very responsive. We had a couple small issues (light bulbs) and they sent someone over right away despite being Christmas holiday. Property was very clean. Definitely would rent again.

Hi Katie - thanks so much for your kind review. We appreciate you taking time to share your experience and are so happy you enjoyed your stay. We enjoyed hosting you and would be glad to have you back anytime. Thanks for the 5 star rating!

Had a Fantastic Time!
5/5 stars
My husband and I stayed with our children ages 10 and 9 and we had a wonderful time. The pool was amazing, temperature was perfect and the outdoor fireplace was a huge added bonus and tons of fun at night! The house was clean and very open and had everything that we needed! The only issues we had were minor, two of the TVs not working correctly etc. They were very responsive about this when we reported it. The home was in a great location, close to beaches, grocery stores etc. We thank the owners for letting us enjoy Fort Myers in this home and will hopefully return.
- Megan
