Your Hidden Florida Retreat | 4 King Suites, Luxury Kitchen, Heated Pool & Beach Adventures

Escape to Your Own Hidden Tropical Retreat Near Fort Myers Beach & Sanibel Island!



Tucked beneath towering palms and surrounded by lush tropical landscaping, this one-of-a-kind retreat offers the rare feeling of being miles away from it all while keeping Southwest Florida's best beaches, restaurants, and attractions just minutes from your door. Nestled in the beloved Iona area of South Fort Myers, this peaceful getaway combines privacy, comfort, and unforgettable outdoor living for a vacation you'll be talking about long after you've returned home.



Whether you're gathering the family for a beach vacation, traveling with grandparents, or planning a relaxing escape with friends, this spacious property was designed for making memories together while still offering room for everyone to spread out and unwind.



Designed for Togetherness...with Space to Yourself:



With nearly 2,200 square feet of interior living space divided between two completely private living areas, the home comfortably accommodates up to 8 guests across four king bedrooms and two full bathrooms.



The upstairs main home welcomes you with soaring vaulted ceilings, expansive windows, and French doors that fill the open-concept living space with beautiful Florida sunshine. Comfortable leather seating invites you to relax after a day at the beach, while the Smart TV provides streaming entertainment (guests provide their own logins).



The adjoining dining area seats eight and flows effortlessly into what is truly the centerpiece of the home—the spectacular chef's kitchen.



Featuring a luxury BlueStar range, BlueStar refrigerator, wine cooler, custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, oversized island seating, and premium cookware, this kitchen is made for gathering. Thoughtful extras including All-Clad cookware, a KitchenAid mixer, Nespresso espresso maker, air fryer, and upgraded kitchen tools make preparing meals as enjoyable as dining together.



Three upstairs bedrooms each feature comfortable king beds and ceiling fans, while the beautifully updated guest bath offers dual vanities and an oversized walk-in rainfall shower.



A Private Guest Suite Perfect for Extended Families:



One of this home's most unique features is its fully self-contained ground-level suite, ideal for grandparents, adult children, or couples traveling together who appreciate a little extra privacy.



The suite includes its own king bedroom, living area with Smart TV, kitchenette with full-size refrigerator, microwave, cooktop and eating bar, full bath with rainfall shower, and even a fitness bench with dumbbells for keeping up your workout routine.



When you reserve this property, you'll enjoy exclusive access to the entire home.



Your Own Backyard Resort:



The outdoor spaces are every bit as inviting as the interior.



Start your mornings with coffee from the expansive upstairs balcony overlooking the pool and tropical gardens before heading downstairs to your private backyard oasis.



Spend the afternoon floating in the heated pool, lounging beneath umbrellas, grilling dinner on the Weber gas grill or Green Egg smoker, or simply relaxing on the oversized outdoor sectional while surrounded by swaying palms and peaceful Florida breezes.



With multiple gathering areas, outdoor dining, sun loungers, and exceptional privacy, you'll find yourself wanting to spend as much time outside as in.



Perfectly Located for Exploring Southwest Florida:



While the property feels wonderfully secluded, you're only minutes from some of Southwest Florida's most sought-after destinations.



Spend your days shelling on Sanibel Island, relaxing on Fort Myers Beach, kayaking through mangroves, paddleboarding, golfing, parasailing, fishing, or exploring Captiva Island. Skip beach traffic by driving to the nearby Beach Trolley station and riding directly to Fort Myers Beach.



Downtown Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Bonita Springs, and Naples are all within easy driving distance, offering endless opportunities for waterfront dining, shopping, live music, professional sports, and local entertainment.

• Private heated swimming pool

• Four king bedrooms sleeping up to 8 guests

Felt like home.

We loved our stay here. It is close to everything you need while on vacation. Publix is a few minutes away. The beaches are a short drive in either direction of the property. The back yard, pool area was just delightful. The home photos are exactly what you get... beautifully decorated, comfortable beds and furniture. We all slept great every night and woke up ready for our next adventure.

Wonderful tropical setting

You will not find a property in Iona that has a better tropical feel than this one. We stayed for three weeks and were impressed with every aspect of this home. We have condos on Sanibel that are still being rebuilt and needed a place close by. The location was so close to Sanibel and also to the Sanibel Harbor where our boat is kept. This is truly a hidden gem!

Great house but needs some renter friendly changes...

We absolutely loved this house...the location was so convenient, the backyard was a beautiful oasis, and the vibe of the house was fun, comfortable and homey. But, as a vacation renter there are few improvements that are needed. Two of the bedrooms don't have any blinds on one window. This means there is no privacy at night when the lights are on, and no way to block the sun in the morning. The downstairs suite is fabulous, but there was only one key which could have been easily lost, and made it difficult to keep track of "who had the key". A keypad entry like the one on the upstairs door would be great or at least a second key for back-up.

Spring Stay

The property is accurately described snd has an amazingly well stocked kitchen. The porch and outdoor pool area were great for lounging, reading or just taking a nap. There was plenty of room in the home and the beds were extra comfy. Be aware that the windows have no blinds. That was a little bit of a concern as we did worry others might be able to see in the windows. The only other issue was having only two bathrooms but that is clear on this listing and the bidet in the main bathroom was a nice bonus. Overall a great spring break getaway.
