About this property

Executive Villa With Pool And Lakeside Position Within Exclusive Gated Community

Please note we have a 7 night minimum stay. Our home is an open plan air conditioned holiday oasis. The living space is generous with 3 separate indoor areas to relax, read, watch tv or surf the net with our free high speed wifi. With 4 luxuriously equipped bedrooms and 3 bathrooms parties of 8 guests are easily accommodated without compromise. The well fitted kitchen has everything you need for entertaining your guests. The pool deck can be accessed from 4 separate rooms and includes a covered Lanai and heated pool with a patio area overlooking the lake.

The master bedroom features a king size bed with dressing table and draw storage. A flat screen TV and free high speed wifi allows you to wake up slowly as you prepare for your day. The master suite also enjoys a huge en suite bathroom with 2 sinks, separate loo, shower cubicle and bath. A walk in closet completes the package.

The second bedroom features a queen size bed, dressing table and bedside draw space. A large closet will swallow your luggage, clothes and purchases. Adjacent is a bathroom with single basin and bath with shower over.

The third bedroom also has a queen size bed with draws under, a chest of drawers and large closet. The fourth bedroom has twin beds with draw space and large closet. These two bedrooms share the third bathroom with single basin and bath with shower over.

All linen and towels are included and there are plenty for bedding changes during your stay.

The family room is at the centre of the house with easy access to the three guest bedrooms as well as the den and the kitchen/breakfast area. With three comfortable settees, coffee and side tables you can enjoy the 70” flat screen Samsung TV.

The kitchen overlooks the family room so users can watch the TV and the young ones whilst they prepare a meal. With an electric cooker, microwave, fridge freezer and dishwasher as well as all the small appliances you'll need including coffee maker, toaster, electric kettle and blender we cater for your every culinary need. Off the kitchen is the utility room with a washer and dryer as well as vacuum cleaner for those little spills.

The breakfast area overlooks the lanai and has a table and 4 chairs to enjoy a leisurely breakfast.

Through the arch is the sitting room. Well away from the TV this is the quiet zone. Two comfy settees overlook the pool and the lake beyond. With tables for that coffee, tea or glass of wine, just sit and relax and 'do your thing'. We even have a good collection of books for you to enjoy. Adjacent to the sitting room is a dining table with 6 chairs for those family meals.

The final inside relaxing area is the den which has sliding doors onto the pool deck. A settee overlooks the lake behind the house.

The outside area is the place to be in Ft Myers. With a covered patio accessible from the master bedroom, sitting room or breakfast area you can enjoy the view in all weathers. We have a new toughened glass patio table with 6 chairs to enjoy meals or a friendly game amongst friends and family. The pool beyond is approx 30ft long and 14ft wide. It has a safe shallow end for the none swimmers and a 5ft 6in deep end for the more confident. A handy seat at the end of the pool allows you to sit up to your waist in the water and enjoy the view over the lake or enjoy a cool drink in the plastic outside ware we provide.

The pool is solar heated and is generally warm enough from April to October without the help of our brand new 121000BTU Rudd electric heat pump. We can provide this electric heating at extra cost for the cooler months when we less hardy like a little warmer water to enjoy. But please be aware that when the air temperature drops to the 40s to 60s this heat pump will only heat the pool around 10F warmer than the air temperature.

Beyond the deck is a patio area beyond the building line of the house which provides full views of the lake and the wildlife that continuously enjoy it. We regularly see Eagrets, Heron, Osprey, Pelicans, Ibis, Cormorants and for the first time this year a Bald Eagle enjoying the lake. Alligators, Otters and Snapper Turtles are also spotted frequently.

The pool area is protected by a mesh cage which keeps most insects out and cuts down some of the Sun's UV rays. Shade trees also provide protection at the end of the deck.

In the garage we have some pool toys (though we can't guarantee condition), beach chairs and parasols as well as a couple of easy rider bikes for a trip to Biscottis around the corner for a coffee or ice cream.

We supply remote controls to access the garage and the gates to Beachwalk Isles - the community where our house is located. They will be waiting for you in the house on your arrival. We just ask that you leave them behind for our next guests on your departure.

We aim to provide a clean, well maintained and comfortable holiday home for you to enjoy. We decorate and update as regularly as we can afford to make your vacation as relaxing and enjoyable as we possibly can. We are available to help with emergencies and our contact details are provided in the house as well as other useful contact numbers.

Wonderful Property, Location, and Owner

The location was exactly what we were looking for; walking distance to Target, Publix, Dunkin's, Bealls, and multiple restaurants We've rented VRBO's regularly the past 18 years and Shane has been the most responsive of any owner/manager that we have experienced. We will not hesitate to consider this property in the future.

Awesome property in Ft Myers

We had a great time staying at Shane's place. The house is very spacious, beautifully decorated and well equipped. Neighborhood is really nice and quiet and there's tons of places around to eat. Sanibel is also very close, which is one of our favorite places to go to. We would definitely recommend this place and would love to come back next time we're in the area. Thanks Shane!

Fantastic location

Very nice house in a superb location. Shopping, dining, grocery stores, and Ft. Myers beach are all close and easy to get to. People in this gated community are out walking and biking and are very friendly. Being on a large pond provides a great view. The kitchen is well stocked; the beds are comfortable; the master suite and bath are wonderful; the pool is warm and enjoyable. Just a great stay!

What a wonderful villa in a great location

What a wonderful villa. We would recommend this villa to all and for so many reasons...our favourites were: excellent location, well kept, great layout (4 bedrooms) and lovely pool (I could go on and on). We can't wait to go back! On a final note...the villa's owner (Shane) was excellent and really helpful thoughout. Highly recommended.

Excellent place

We was a group of 5 people, family and friends, who visited this place 3 weeks July 2023. We found everything to be really well taken care of and the property was found to be as described in the ad. Shane as a landlord is really good and he is very quick to respond to any questions that might be raised. There is an easy access to the areas around the house and several good restaurants close by. Not far to drive to the beach either.

We really enjoyed our stay. There were 6 of us and plenty of room for everyone. The kitchen was well equipped. Plenty of towels, beach equipment and pool toys. The location was great close to retail, restaurants and the beach. We will definitely look into renting again next time we come to Ft Myers and recommend Shane’s place to family and friends. Thanks for sharing your place Shane. We loved it!

Great Property- Great Location

We rented this home to “disconnect” from work for a week and boy did we! Very spacious and clean pool home. Very quiet and well kept neighborhood. Very close to shopping, restaurants and beaches. You couldn’t ask for a better owner in Shane. Very easy to reach and communicate with. We would definitely come back. You need to stay here as well.

Nice house with lanai.

Spacious house with good bones. Pool area overlooking pond was the highlight. Fort Myers Beach will take some time to recover from Ian but Sanibel seems to be making great progress already. Rental had some minor cleanliness and maintenance issues which I suspect owner will resolve.

Power in twin bedroom didn’t work. Garage code worked once and never again during our stay. No light in master bathroom toilet. Gnats in the house. Number of lights and fan outside didn’t work. Only way to contact owner was through VRBO, he responded once and never again. Very disappointed and feel we should be compensated someway. Would not recommend to anyone

Careful of the pool temperature

This house met all our needs except for one major need and that was a “heated pool” which was in the home description. Our 2-week stay was in December with daytime temperatures mostly in the 70s. The pool never got above 73° which made it useless as a swimming pool even for the children. (Thus a 4 rating for accuracy in listing.) The home was clean but many pots, pans, and storage containers needed washed before they could be used. We cooked many meals.

About the host

Hosted by Shane Lancaster

Host profile image
My wife and I have owned our Florida home since 2003. We keep it well maintained and update it regularly. Our theme for our rentals is 'relaxed and trouble free'. Our management company is on hand to address any concerns of our guests. We try to be flexible to accommodate requests of our guests so please don't hesitate to ask. Our only wish is that our Customers and guests are completely satisfied with their stay.

Why they chose this property

As avid viewers of a 'Place in the Sun' we always aspired to owning a property in Florida. In 2002 we travelled to Cape Coral after watching a family buy a property there. After a few days of property search and finding nothing suitable we had a day off and travelled to Sanibel. On the way back we stumbled across Beachwalk Isles and after viewing the community and the show home we bought our property. Very 'spur of the moment' but a decision we have never regretted. Since our property was completed in 2003 we have visited twice a year around work. In that time we have grown to love the area and enjoy sharing our home with others to allow them to explore our little piece of Ft Myers and hopefully develop the same love for this 'little piece of paradise' as we have.

What makes this property unique

With today's hectic lifestyle the most important aspect of a holiday is to relax. Our property is aimed at achieving that goal by promoting a relaxing lifestyle. Everything is provided to make your holiday as de stressing as possible. From breakfast on the lanai to a leisurely swim in the pool or an hour watching the amazing wildlife enjoying the lake followed by a cup of tea in the air conditioned sitting room Osprey View does just that. Yet everything you need is on your doorstep. Supermarkets and restaurants are a walk away. The beaches of Ft Myers Beach and Sanibel are a short car journey away, but at the end of the day you can leave their hustle and bustle behind and quietly relax watching the TV or reading a book. Shopping, golf, boating and entertainment are all within easy reach to
