Cottage rentals with a hot tub

Wobbly Pelican steps from beach!
Our stay here was awesome! The house was perfect; very clean and had everything we needed! The pool and hot tub really added to our stay! We were also able to walk to the beach. Jennifer was very nice and very quick to respond! I definitely recommend staying here and will do so in the future!

The Enchanted Cottage on the Imperial River
We had an amazing week at Mona’s Enchanted Cottage! Enchanted we were! Mona is so friendly and communicative, offering tons of great local recommendations. The cottage is cozy, clean, private, and had everything we needed. We loved kayaking—fed turtles, saw manatees swim by, birds, and even an owl! A few small gators kept their distance but not curious enough to bother. Fishing from the dock was fantastic—I caught 25+ fish across 5 different species. There’s definitely more than you can count though. The bait shop with the funny name further down the road had the best bait and tips. The hot tub spa is the super nice kind. We grilled dinner most nights and had no issues with the internet to stream shows when it rained. The town is small and cute. You can definitely find a place to listen to live music every night. Our dog adored the doggy beach, and Barefoot Beach was super close with easy parking at 10 AM. We didn’t want to leave, 10/10—already planning to come back!

Villa The Island Hideaway 2
Wow! We loved this house. Great outdoor seating, loved watching the boats come and go. Pool and hot tub were fantastic. Great flat grill for dinners at home. Good restaurant options in the area. Cape Coral is close to so much, but away from traffic. Loads of windows and natural light. Very clean. Highly recommend.

beautiful beach get away
We spent a great two months in this newly renovated home. It has everything you need from kitchen utensils, towels, bedding, comfortable furniture, washer/dryer, and large screen smart tv. It is very close to the beaches of Ft. Myers and Sanibel. Perfect for a relaxing SW Florida vacation!

The Sanibel Sunshine Cottage
Shawnee, & her husband Dave were wonderful. They kept in touch w/ us, & made sure anything we needed was brought to us. Everything in their home was top shelf. Thank you Shawnee & Dave for a beautiful 2 week stay at your home. Bill & Sharon Hauswirth

Spacious Cottage
The place was very clean, and everything that required was provided. It was in a park setting, which suited us just fine.

Boutique retreat in heart of River District w/spa
This was a beautiful, peaceful cottage! It was exactly as described and portrayed in photos. Impeccably clean with so many extra amenities it felt like a concierge-level hotel stay. The couch and bed were both very comfortable, the hot tub clean and private, and the front porch swing a cozy place to enjoy the garden and birds. Good location if you plan to visit the Edison and Ford Estate. Close to downtown restaurants (walking distance, but I did wish I'd brought my bike instead). Nice walk to park on the river.

Captains Cottage
Very nice cottage was perfect for weekend getaway

Cheerful 3 bedroom Cottage near the beach!
Yuliya is a wonderful host, and we felt right at home! She was very responsive, kind, and left a binder that included some local attractions. The home was extremely clean, and included nice amenities as well. Thank you Yuliya!

A Cozy Cottage Close to Beach and Downtown
Clean and spacious inside with a large yard for dogs on a quiet street. I would definitely stay if I return to the area. 5 stars.

Las Tortugas Azules (The Blue Turtles) - Family Retreat
Michael and Lorna were super friendly and easy going but, at the same time, respected our privacy. The guesthouse was super clean with state-of-the-art appliances and had absolutely everything we needed to prepare our own meals in the beautiful kitchen. The pool area was gorgeous. The weather was on the cool side while we were there, so we didn't get in the water, but we loved sitting outside in the patio area enjoying the beautiful and peaceful surroundings. As an extra added bonus, they have two adorable puppies that were out a few times a day. We loved our extended stay at Las Tortugas Azules and would definitely consider staying there again if in the Naples area.

Beach getaway near FortMyers Naples 25% Month Disc
Alina’s house was perfect for our stay. It was clean, close to everything, easy to get to. Alina was a perfect host—responsive and flexible.

River Ranch Oaks
This place was a hidden gem! We lucked into it being available last-minute for a three-night stay and couldn’t have been any happier with it. The place was clean, welcoming, and nicely decorated. The kitchen had new appliances, and enough cooking equipment to easily make multiple meals a day. Bathroom was spacious and clean, with a really nice shower. The lot is remarkably quiet and private given its proximity to several main highways. Plenty of restaurants, bars, stores, and more nearby. There’s even a park a just a few-minute walk from the property.

Lux Sunset on Open Water Cottage 2/2!
Lisa helped resolve minor issues beyond her control and her place is amazing. Highly recommend!!

Cozy Cove
One of the best air bnbs I’ve stayed at in a long time and a great host. It always is so nice when the host provides extras like a few waters, beach chairs, a snack or two, etc and this one had all of the above and then some!

The Bonita Bitty Beach Cottage
Small but perfect for two or three . Very well stocked. Loved being on the waterway.

Quaint Florida Style Home
Beautiful area and plenty of beaches close by, we enjoyed our visit.

Cheerful 1-bedroom with excellent amenities.
Holly's home is wonderful. It's clean and well-kept. Siesta is a quiet, comfortable park in a great location. Only minutes to restaurants, stores and the beach. Holly is very attentive and will respond to any communication quickly.

Flamingo Bay Cottage
RedAwning was the perfect accommodation for our 3-day fishing trip. We docked the boat directly behind the house, which was equipped with a fish-cleaning station and comfortable outdoor patio. The hosts were friendly and responsive, even offering to replace the coffee maker we were having some trouble with. The house was clean and comfortable, and the kitchen well-equipped (including complimentary wine and water bottles!). It would have been nice to have a second bathroom, but otherwise it was perfect!

Happily Ever After
Michele’s place was the perfect place for my husband and myself. The house was very clean and comfortable. We brought our boat and rented Michele’s golf cart. Michele’s instructions for docking our boat and using the cart was helpful and precise. Michele was very flexible and gracious when we asked to arrive a day earlier. We very much enjoyed our stay and would absolutely stay again and recommend her place to others.

Sans Souci - 4/3 Coastal Cottage in Bonita Shores
My family spent Christmas at Kari's this year, and we thoroughly enjoyed it! Her home was beautiful and clean, and it was decorated for the holidays, which was an amazing addition. It was perfect for my family of 6 people and 4 dogs. There is a beautiful fenced-in yard, which provided a great backdrop for my engagement! Would love to stay here again!

Little Cottage on the Field
The host worked with us on our situation and was very accommodating.

Cozy Getaway!
We loved our stay here! It was perfect for the kids and the pool was so clean! I would recommend this stay to many!

Malu Lani Inn #5 (Cottage)
Could not say enough about the cottage I stayed in at the Malu Lani was the perfect fishing getaway. The dock space and private boat ramp for my small boat was perfect. Dockage had electrical hook up, fresh water wash down, and fish cleaning station was perfect. The cottage is perfect for two people very comfortable and quiet. Will definitely return Thank you David and Sharon you have a wonderful place.
