Southwest Florida is not lacking for fantastic cities to visit, but if you're looking for the city that's got some history as a great winter home you'll want to book yourself a vacation rental in Fort Myers. You see, in the early 20th century both Thomas Edison and Henry Ford had vacation homes in Fort Myers - which seem like pretty good endorsements of the city! Of course, their one-time vacation getaways are no longer on the market - they're both museums now.
And the museums of Edison's and Ford's former vacation homes are only some of the things to do when you've booked a vacation rental in Fort Myers. The historic center of the city has been reinvented recently and is now a great place to wander. Another place to wander, although it's unlikely you'll wander the whole thing, is McGregor Blvd., which boasts 15 whole miles of royal palm trees. Both Edison's and Ford's homes are on McGregor Blvd., and the first of the royal palms is said to have been planted by Edison himself. Baseball fans will enjoy watching the spring training camps of both the Boston Red Sox and the Minnesota Twins.
The Fort Myers vacation rentals vary from cozy condos in upscale buildings right on the beach, to family-friendly private homes in quiet residential areas. Many of the vacation homes are on canals, and some of them boast shared facilities like swimming pools, tennis courts, playgrounds for the kids, fitness centers and private golf courses. Whatever your vacation style, you'll find a vacation home that will suit you perfectly.
Of course, the benefits of a Fort Myers vacation rental don't end with things like swimming pools and private golf courses (although both are pretty sweet), they are practical, too. For instance, you can often save money on your trip by staying in a vacation rental as opposed to a hotel, because you can cook some of your own meals instead of always paying to eat out for every meal. That adds up! Plus, you can take day-trips to explore the area without having to change hotels and pack and unpack every night. It's a much more relaxing way to go!
