About this property

Treehouse Cottage by the Sea

Upon arrival you are greeted by Heavenly wind chimes, a giant oak tree, in a spectacular tropical setting with privacy fence surrounding and a fire pit. Asend into your 2/2 tropical paradise where time stands still & tomorrow is far away. Steps to 7 miles of sugary white sand on Fort Myers Beach.

Rental Beach Home Retreat: This two bedroom, two bathroom tropical paradise is a block to the beach on Estero Island. Deeded beach access makes it easy to enjoy the seven miles of white, sugary sand on which you can relax or play then take a trolly to “Times Square” where you can wine and dine and experience the diverse and active nightlife. Or, return home where the peace and quiet of a tropical oasis awaits.

Upon arrival you are greeted by Heavenly wind chimes, a giant oak tree, in a manicured tropical setting reminiscent of childhood dreams. Ascending the stairs feels like climbing into a tree fort where time stands still and tomorrow is far away. Upon entering you are struck by a spacious living area with ample sitting options and even a couch with a queen sized sleeper. To the right are two bedrooms and a full bathroom. Each bedroom has a queen sized bed, ample closet space, ceiling fan, a mirror and wall mounted flat screen television with DVD/VHS players. The remodeled bathroom has marble flooring, a large free standing tub, corner shower, vanity, and medicine and linen cabinets.

Through the living room is the bright and open kitchen, remodeled in an elegant fashion with marble flooring, colorful tile backsplash, as well as an island with Corian countertop serving as an eating area with barstools and a wine cooler beneath the island. All appliances are black stainless steel, including a 5-burner glass-top range with convection oven, a built-in above range microwave, under counter dishwasher, refrigerator with side by side doors and freezer pull-out drawer, and a European style stainless steel sink with disposal. Everything necessary to create memorable meals, and there is even a Keurig coffee maker.

The kitchen opens out into a sunroom with wraparound windows which overlook the back yard. There is laminate wood flooring, and furnishings include a white wicker round glass-top table with four cushioned wicker chairs to enjoy games, projects, and meals. A door from here provides access to a large upper deck furnished with a tall, round, tile and glass-top table with umbrella and four tall chairs.

Descending the stairs takes you to another focal point of this home. Surrounded by a 6-foot high privacy fence, pavered walkways, travertine deck, rock landscaping, planters with a myriad of tropical plants and extensive solar lighting with an amazing salt water pool. Take a swim, rinse off in the outdoor shower then relax in your own tiki bar. This L-shaped bar, with wood tile countertop and colorful tile trim, has seating on both sides, and lush tropical decor. Wall-mounted fans and a flat screen TV are strategically placed to enjoy time before or after dinner following a “tough” day at the beach. Finally, on the lower level, there is a separate laundry room with wood tile flooring and full size washer, dryer, bathroom, owner refrigerator, and storage shelves.

Estero Island has numerous eateries--including Junkanoo Beach and Fresh Catch—as well as a vibrant night life. Water activities abound that include jet ski rentals, parasailing, fishing charters, dolphin and sunset tours. Sanibel Island, world famous for its sea shells, and Fort Myers with its Downtown River District, historic winter homes of Thomas Edison, Henry Ford and Harvey Firestone, lie not far to the north, while to the south is Lover's Key State Park, Bonita Springs, and Naples. Whatever adventure you choose you can easily access it form your tropical “home away from home”. You don't want to miss out on this highly sought after, peaceful, one of a kind property.

3 Old Friends

Soul rejuvenating time with my two best friends of 40+ years. I wish we could have stayed longer. We enjoyed every inch of the house we could. The amenities are great, but it's the comfey cottage nature that makes you feel at home right away. This is a spe ial place. Kudos to a great owner Diane for her wonderful communication and help with our stay.

Lovely place

My family and I enjoyed staying at this place. It was far enough from traffic that it was easy to go to Publix. Lots of things to do, walking distance to the beach and when you're done you can lounge at the pool. My kids enjoyed the stay a lot. Diane is very responsive too and very easy to talk to. 😊😊😊

Location

We loved this location! Literally 2 blocks to be on the beach, and walkable distance to most of what we needed. The place was very clean and super cute. The bathroom description was a little misleading as the 2nd bathroom is an outdoor shower and a separate toilet outside. It was super convenient when using the pool but not what we were looking for as far as a true second bathroom. We loved the relaxing atmosphere and nicely done updates to the house.

Perfect beach cottage

Diane’s beachside treehouse cottage is perfect. Walk to the beach, walk into your own pool. Comfy everything & stocked for everything, as well. What a gem! Thank you, Diane!

Quiet Oasis

The house is quiet, beautiful, and well-equipped. The kitchen and bathrooms are especially lovely, and the outdoor spaces including the tiki bar and pool are wonderful. Although the neighbors houses are close, it was still quiet and felt like we were far from the busyness of the island. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Not worth the risk!!

This rental was going to be a wonderful and relaxing beach getaway to celebrate our 15th anniversary! We read wonderful reviews and were excited to get there, as we made our reservations in December and it was already fully paid for. Unfortunately, about 2 weeks prior to our planned trip, we received word that my husband’s grandmother had been put on hospice and may not make it very long. I let the host know about our possible upcoming predicament and at first she was responsive and helpful to figuring out a way to make it work. AS SOON as we heard that my husband’s grandmother had died and we would have to travel to her funeral instead of going to the beach, we immediately contacted the host to let her know. Initially she was open to us having some close friends stay there in our stead and pay us, so we could recoup some of the money already paid. Then, she abruptly changed her mind and wasn’t even open to anything to help us recover some of our money. I certainly understand not wanting to lose all of the money for that week, but this was Spring Break week in FL and I am certain that had she put it back up for rent, it would’ve gone quickly. So, while I understand that this was our rental, I would think that anyone could see our predicament. I would’ve hoped for maybe refunding half of our money and/or letting us have friends go for any of the time to recoup some money. But to be unwilling to work with us at all for a situation that was outside of our control is completely unacceptable. While this vacation spot may be idyllic, do not risk renting this property out just in case you also have a family emergency like us. It’s just not worth the risk!

Almost perfect beach cottage

The close proximity to the beach and the beach decor was awesome. The pool was relaxing and private. The walk to restaurants was perfect. We were a bit mislead on the bathroom information. Realistically, there is one inside bathroom. The other is simply toilet and shower near the pool. We made this work but for more than 2 people one bathroom is not sufficient. There is much potential to make the outside areas appealing, it just needs a loving touch. This sweet cottage is a lovely getaway to relax and renew.
