Guest rating: 5.0 / 5
Quiet, private studio apt, screened porch, covered parking, garden sitting area! (also referenced as Green Palm Cottage #976905) is a small, smoke-free studio cottage set on the grounds of the host’s personal residence in Florida, designed for a secluded-feeling getaway while still being close to town. The cottage sits about 120 ft back from the road at the end of a brick-paver driveway, with parking under a pergola and a lush, tropical landscape featuring royal palms, coconuts, and other plantings. Inside is air-conditioned and heated, with cable/DirectTV, free Wi‑Fi, and practical extras like an ironing board and in-unit washer. The kitchenette is set up for simple meals with a full-size (18 cu ft) refrigerator, dishes and utensils, plus an induction cooktop, microwave, toaster oven, electric skillet, and kettle (no stove). Guests are also supplied with beach gear—towels, coolers, chairs, and umbrellas—making it easy to head out for coastal day trips. Nearby dining includes Pinchers (about 569 m), Punto Iberico (about 793 m), Ford’s Garage Ft. Myers (about 957 m), and The Firestone Skybar & Martini Bar (about 1.0 km), with multiple bus stops and the Rosa Parks Transportation Center within walking distance.
Best for
Best suited to couples or solo travelers wanting a quiet, private base with a residential-garden setting and an adults-only occupancy limit of 2.
