About this property

Kokomo Del Sol. Experience the best of the Florida Lifestyle

Regarding the pool heat and hot tub, there is heat available for an additional $25/day. If you don't need the pool heat, you will not be charged. You will only be charged for the days you need the heat. Simply text or call us if you need the temperature adjusted. We prefer payment via Zell to our phone number. We can straighten all this out after your rent the home.

Thanks so much for your interest in our home. I assume you are aware that almost all waterfront in the Fort Myers area was very badly damaged, including our home. We had put a great deal of time and effort bringing the house up to a beautiful standard only to have the storm destroy all our hard work. The good news for you is that since it was torn down to the studs, we could improve small things that were less than optimal. So now, you are not renting a beautiful place, you are renting an incredible place.

This is not an investment property, this is our home and it is fantastic. Let's start with the location. You are the last house on the street with river in front of you, and Florida wilderness jungle to your left and behind you. There is literally only one neighbor to the right, and we have planted a nice privacy hedge along that line. The entire house is freshly remodeled. The impact rated windows throughout the house mean that it is comfortable and quiet. The pool, hot tub, cage, and lanai are all brand new and fabulous. Imagine a cold beer as you watch a spectacular sunset over the river by the firepit.

In the house itself, everything is brand new. The kitchen is large with every convenience and most likely more appliances than you have at home. We are talking a Kitchenaide stand mixer, a self cooling ice cream maker, an immersion blender, a conventional blender, a milkshake maker, a Keurig and a conventional coffee maker, a food processor, and a toaster/convection oven.

The living room has a leather recline sofa set and a separate leather recliner. Kick back and enjoy the 70 inch TV with a built in home theater.

Of course, the guest bath, like everything in the house is all new. The tile work in the bathroom is gorgeous and custom. The shower is oversize with a very luxurious shower panel including a rainfall shower, body spray, and hand held shower wand. The bathroom makeup mirror is self lit with three color temperatures. It also has an anti fogging feature.

Starting with the primary guest bedroom, you have a queen size bed with a custom walnut headboard. It is rustic, unique, and beautiful. The mattress is memory foam and brand new. Very comfortable. All of the closets have custom California wood closet packages that you will wish you had at home.

There is a kid's room we optimized for family reunions which usually involve coming up with beds for a lot of guests. There are two bunk beds with a twin over full configuration offering sleeping for six in a rather "summer camp" atmosphere. All the mattresses are memory foam, and they have been built with adults in mind.

The upper bunk is rated for 220 lbs. There is a small walk in closet, a 55" tv, and a shelf for your video games.

The master suite is simply incredible. It has a King size bed with a memory foam mattress. There are French doors opening onto the pool and hot tub area. An incredible walk in closet with four built in dressers. The bathroom part of the suite has gorgeous blue green stone walls, huge walk in shower with an incredible shower panel, and oversize vanity with two sinks and unique faucets.

The heated pool and hot tub are wonderful. There is a gorgeous mosaic of a mermaid in the bottom of the pool as well as two bronze mermaid fountains and a bronze mermaid table. There is a tanning ledge as well as seating the length of the pool so you can watch the sun set over the Caloosahatchee.

We have built an incredible home gym which is availble for an additional $200/week for guests staying less than three weeks. If you are staying more than three weeks, gym access is complimentary.

The gym has a smith machine with self spotting arms and a fully adjustable bench. There are 530 lbs of olympic weights and a free olympic bar as well as the smith machine bar. There is a high pulley and a low pulley and also a pec-dec that adjusts for upper back and rear delt work. These are all attached to a 200 lb weight stack which additionally has a crossbar for adding even more weight in the form of olympic plates.

The gym also has a cross cable machine with a 150 lb weight stack which is adjustable over a wide range of heights and has a variety of different grips and handles.
The gym also has 590 lbs of hexagonal iron dumbells ranging from 5 to 50 lbs. The adjustable bench can be fitted with a preacher's curl attachment.

Additionally, there is a speed bag for all you boxing/mma types. Great for coordination, warm up, or working up a sweat.

Finally, there is a Bowflex M7 aerobics trainer. Kind of a cross between an eliptical trainer and a stepper trainer. Good leg workout as well as cardio.

We once had a negative comment regarding our second unit. Yes, there is an additional rental here. It is over the garage, and really it is just like having a neighbor. We call that unit Kokomo Bay. Kokomo Bay guests do not have access to the backyard, pool, hot tub, dock, none of it. While they do have a beautiful river view, due to the roofline of the house, they cannot see the pool or dock or yard. There is no impingement on your privacy. If you are interested in having more space for a big reunion, you could rent Kokomo Bay and Kokomo Del Sol together. That would give you an additional two queen size beds, additional bathroom, a kitchenette, and a nice private deck. If you are interested in that apartment, you can view it by typing "Escape to Kokomo Bay" in a search engine and clicking on the VRBO link which comes right up. If you are interested in this additional space, it will behoove you to make your whole house reservation early, as everything rents out quickly here in high season.

Wonderful Time
We had a great stay at this property. The owners, Lanson & Allison went out of their way to provide guests with everything we could possibly want. The pool was gorgeous and warm. The water view was exceptional and the kids enjoyed seeing dolphins and Manatees swimming in the river just 20 feet from the lawn. The home is well appointed, well maintained and everything, such as the ice makers and gas fire pit worked well. We would definitely stay again!

Surprise at the end of the lane!
It is a twisty turning road that brings you to this amazing little piece of vacation at the end of the lane. This property has been well cared for and well thought out. Every amenity you can imagine has been created for you. From distilled water at the tap, to an oven that is also an air fryer! The master bedroom has a sleep number bed and plenty of closet space. There was an office space that looked out over the river that included a printer. Our dog was made to feel quite welcome, they even had crates in the garage in case we needed one. Whenever we had a question, the owners were quick to respond and came to the house to help us. We loved this place and would definitely rent again..

Hidden Gem
The relaxing and peaceful atmosphere that is found within this property truly cannot be matched. From the moment we arrived, to the moment we left, the hosts went out of their way in order to provide us with an extraordinary experience. There were so many thoughtful touches that were provided by the hosts; for example, being greeted with a welcome basket of snacks/wine, and small pool tools for our grandchildren. We were treated so nicely during our entire stay. The amenities that are available within the house are outstanding. Beginning with the living room, the couches are comfortable and spacious. They provided us with more than enough seating for all of our guests. The television within this room is easy to use, large and adds to the great entertainment space. The kitchen is a chef’s dream; two full refrigerators, blender, fantastic oven and stove, and numerous utensils and spices. There is also a convenient Keurig, which is great making a cup of coffee in the morning before going out to the lanai to relax! Connected to the kitchen is also a utility room with washer and dryer—easy to use, and so convenient. The dining area is well lit with a great table that has plenty of seating options. There is a fantastic window located within this area that overlooks the river; beautiful to watch the sunset from this room. There is also a desk available in a small sitting area adjacent to the dining room; this is a great option for anyone who needs to “work from home” on vacation, and this area also has a fabulous window that provides beautiful views and a door to the lanai. The lanai—what a perfect area to enjoy the peaceful sounds of the river and nature. A plethora of seating options are provided (along with another television) and a pool that is absolutely wonderful for small children and adults alike. The hot tub is comfortable, easy to use, and easily to get to from the fabulous tiki bar that’s located in the backyard! We couldn’t have asked for more from the bedrooms. The master bedroom is so calming and luxurious, with a wonderful bed, beautiful fireplace and sitting area, and a truly magnificent bathroom.! THe house is located nicely for families interested in relaxing around Fort Myers. Manatee Park is a short drive away; there are stores within a few miles, and downtown Fort Myers is very easy to access. We cannot speak highly enough about staying at this house, and cannot wait to go back as soon as possible!

Perfect stay!
The owners went out of their way to make sure we had a great time. The house is luxurious, beautifully decorated. Kitchen is well equipped, on top of basic appliances there is an ice cream maker, toaster oven and many more. The pool was absolutely beautiful and our kids had a blast while my husband and I spent days relaxing in the lanai area enjoying the breath taking view of the Caloosahatchee River. Thank you for letting us stay at your home.

About the host

Hosted by L Ross

Host profile image
I just retired from the U.S. Air Force after spending a lifetime (38 years) in the military. I flew KC-135s all over the world. My wife is also retired out of the Air Force, having finished her career as a flight nurse. We had the fantastic good fortune to just stumble upon this house a year ago. Over the past year, we have completely remodeled the house. New doors, new windows, new kitchen appliances, completely renovated bathrooms. There is nothing here that we haven't made vast improvements to.
I have been remodeling houses since my parents had me laying an oak parquet floor at age 10. I have put a year of blood, sweat, and tears into this place making it as awesome as it can possibly be.

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location. Just down the street from downtown Fort Myers, this house has all the urban access you could want while allowing you to feel like you are out in the wilderness. There is protected land on the other side of the street, the islands in front of the house are completely undeveloped, and the land on the far shore is a state park. You get to look out over a landscape that hasn't changed since Ponce De Leon was hear searching for the fountain of youth.

What makes this property unique

You get your own private pool, hot tub, gym, and a master bath that is nicer than the finest spa. This house pampers you like you have never experienced before. I pinch myself every day. I can't believe that I have such a wonderful place, and now you have the opportunity to enjoy this slice of paradise. Seriously, this place is absolutely fantastic.
