Unique Benefits

The principal reason we picked this villa for our vacation home was the wonderful view over the lake from the lanai, the abundant wildlife is a joy to behold. At sunrise you can watch the birds landing in the adjacent bald cypress trees warming themselves and singing to welcome the sunrise. The lake itself lights up as the sun rises over it, looks spectacular and it is a great pleasure to enjoy breakfast on the patio in the warmth of Florida. The villa is in walking distance to Supertarget as well as Publix supermarket, Walgreens, CVS and a number of restaurants.
Several golf courses are within easy driving distances.
It is an easy drive to the beautiful beaches of Fort Myers, Sanibel and Captiva. You can often spot dolphins playing in the sea and the ospreys hunting for fish.
