Vacation Rental Description
Our home is furnished to the highest standards in a light & airy style. Colonial Pointe is an exclusive, gated community of just 72 single-family homes in South Fort Myers, surrounding a peaceful lake. It's 15 minutes from fantastic beaches. And there is a very wide selection of local shops, restaurants and golf courses close to hand - something to suit everyone.
You can relax and enjoy the views of the lake and birdlife from the large private pool and deck area. And read, chat or eat in the shade of the lanai with its own ceiling fan and outdoor lighting. The pool is large and Italian-style, with underwater lighting for an evening swim. Around it are sunloungers, and patio table and chairs under the lanai.
The house is luxurious and spacious, decorated throughout in cool shades. It's fully air-conditioned, and all rooms have ceiling fans for hot Florida days. There are 3 separate living areas: the great room and the den indoors, and the lanai outdoors by the pool. Plenty of space for people to spread themselves out and do their own thing.

Fort Myers is within easy reach of great golf, fishing, boating, swimming, water sports, shelling, wildlife watching, eating and shopping etc. Naples is thirty minutes away, Tampa & Busch Gardens are an hour & a half north, and Orlando is just over 2 hours. But it’s the beaches and the ocean that bring most people here. It's an easy 15 minutes by car onto Sanibel and Fort Myers Beach.
The wildlife is stunning. Corkscrew Swamp, the Ding Darling wildlife preserve on Sanibel, the manatees in the Caloosahatchee in the cooler months, the pelicans and osprey, the shore birds scuttling up and down the seashore, alligators in the Everglades and swamps, dolphins swimming in the surf at the edge of Sanibel's Lighthouse Beach ... it's all here and it's fantastic.
Shops: Sweet Bay, Publix, Blockbuster, Walgreens & a 24-hour 7-Eleven are just round the corner. Wal-Mart, Tanger Outlet Mall, Bell Tower and Miromar Outlet Mall are all within 20 mins.
