Rent a Fort Myers Vacation Home for Your Next Friends Getaway

From luxurious amenities to total privacy, renting a vacation home delivers lots of advantages for your next friends getaway in Southwest Florida. Here’s a look at the perks of renting a vacation home in the charming islands, beaches and neighborhoods of Fort Myers.

Get Plenty of Bang for Your Vacation Buck

With a vacation home rental, you and your friends will have plenty of space where you can enjoy time together, but you'll also enjoy the privacy of having your own bedrooms - and the cost is typically less than paying for multiple hotel rooms. Or, double up in bedrooms and you can save even more money.

Plus, if you want to go all-out and splurge on a vacation house with all the bells and whistles, it’s much more affordable with your whole group pitching in. 

You can also save money with a vacation home rental by cooking instead of dining out every meal. Even if you want to enjoy some wining and dining out on the town, having breakfast or lunch together at your vacation home will give you more money to spend later on that amazing dinner out. Not to mention more money for shopping, renting wave runners, enjoying a round of golf or paddling the Great Calusa Blueway - to name just a few of the many fun group activities.

Reconnect with Friends in the Privacy of Your Own Space

Having a home all to yourself is a huge advantage when traveling with your friends. You’ll have the space to be together, whether that’s enjoying sunbathing and swimming at your private pool or enjoying some downtime in an expansive living room. Cut loose with a cocktail party and barbecue in your back yard or decompress in the hot tub - whatever you and your friends desire, you can enjoy time together in the privacy of your own home-away-from-home.

Enjoy the Unrivaled Convenience of a Vacation Home

In addition to having conveniences like a full kitchen and a washer and dryer, a vacation home makes it easy for you and your friends to reconnect, but also allows the freedom for you to each come and go at your own pace. Many vacation homes in the Fort Myers area are located right on the water or close to our breathtaking beaches, giving you easy access to their many pleasures without the hassle of rounding up everyone to drive there or arrange meeting times. In fact, sharing a round of cocktails while marveling at a magical sunset can be enjoyed right outside your door.

When you have luxuries like your own private pool and hot tub, you don’t have to worry about getting chairs together on a hotel pool deck or renting cabanas. And let’s face it, nothing beats having your own private hot tub!

Some vacation rentals, such as CoralVilla Luxury Villas & Boats and Waterside Villas with Boats, even specialize in homes right on the water with a boat slip and boat included, while many others like Matlacha on Shoreview Waterfront Vacation Rentals offer boat slips if you want to bring your own boat or rent one separately.

Our area’s endless scenic waterways, island-hopping adventures, dock-and-dine opportunities and water sports via boat like fishing and scuba diving make boating the ideal activity for your group of friends.

Bring Along Your Four-Legged Friends

Don't want to leave your fur baby behind? Many vacation homes welcome pets and some even have fenced-in yards, giving your pet a safe space to run and play. You won't have to worry about finding a pet sitter or pay for expensive boarding. Plus, most vacation home rentals don't charge pet fees or have size and breed restrictions. Best of all, you'll get to share the fun with your pooch - a visit to the beautiful dog beach park, where dogs can run off-leash, is a must!

Delight in a More Personalized and Authentic Experience

Vacation homes often reflect the owner's personality and are filled with thoughtful touches, from unique decor, games and snacks to a personal guidebook filled with their favorite hotspots. It gives you the chance to live like a local, including enjoying all the neighborhood's hidden gems.
