If you're looking for an awesome pool house for family and friends to convene near Fort Myers Florida, boy have I got a place for you!!! I found this place on Home Away/VRBO which is located on the Canals of Cape Coral Florida. The Villa was built in 2012, so it is very new yet and extremely well cared for. It boasts 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, swimming pool, jacuzzi, fire pit, dock with paddle boat, bikes, beach toys and chairs, laundry facilities... it is SUPERB! It's a great place for families to be able to come together, yet still be separate based on the way it is laid out. Want to take a tour? Join me! Master Bedroom OneBeautiful furnishings and an abundance of space await you in this bedroom. The bathroom is immense with two separate sink vanities. Each complete with very nice bathroom toiletries. There is also a spa tub and a shower with rain shower head. A door to the outside area is available directly from this room. The closet here also houses more towels than your party could ever need as well as a lot of hanging space, extra pillows, laundry baskets and so on. Bedrooms 2 & 3One of the quintessential vacation activities in my family is to go mini golfing. No vacation is complete without it. When my siblings and I were young, we always scouted out the best looking mini golf establishment on the strip and looked forward to going. Now that we are grown, we still make it a family tradition. Especially with young nieces and nephews, we want to make the same memories with them that we have from growing up. It can be hard to choose a place to go, deciding between the fanciest and best looking giraffes on the green or alligators in the lake (pretend, of course), or a cost effective option. Our group chose the latter. What They OfferMike Greenwell's has a number of activities including: * Batting Cages * Go Karts * Midway Rides * Arcade * Feeding Dock * Dugout * Mini Golf To be fair, I did not check out any of the other activities besides mini golf. Price ComparisonSo after our red-eye flight from San Francisco, we were starving! We arrived at Fort Lauderdale airport around 8 am and got our rental convertible straightened out. Then started our couple-hour-long drive west toward Cape Coral where our Homeaway rental was located. We held off on eating much because I wanted to eat at this pho place called Pho Vinh Express Vietnamese Food in Fort Myers, just before heading into Cape Coral. After perusing the menu online, we ordered: * 32 ounce Beef Pho ($9) * 16 ounce extra broth ($3) *** do this!!!! *** * Chicken Spring Rolls ($4) * 2 Boba Teas The VerdictRemember when I got a cheap convertible in San Francisco Airport for a fraction of the going rate!? Well.. I decided I wanted to do that again because what could be better than one convertible? ... TWO of course! When the Convertibles Run Out...
I was excited to find out that United Airlines offered a non-stop, overnight flight from SFO to FLL.
This was a perfect way to get from coast to coast with minimal effort and save a hotel night! The flight was scheduled as 5 hours and 46 minutes and I do believe we touched ground several minutes early. After enjoying our last day in California with aBay Cruise and something to eat, we headed to the airport to drop off the Mustang and make our way to the gate. Returning The Mustang Convertible Rental
It was a sad moment when we had toreturn the Mustang. Oh well.. it was fun while it lasted.
The return process was seamless and efficient. Pull up, get your stuff out, and the guys (and girls) take the car away. Granted, we also arrived in the late evening since our flight was close to 11pm, so maybe it wasn't a high-crowd time. Either way, it went smooth!! Getting Through SecurityYou were busy at Pier 39, weren't you? I bet you saw sea lions, got something to eat, took a cruise around the bay, and maybe earlier in the day you had visited the famous Lombard Street. But no day is complete without meandering through some stores and doing a little shopping. Okay, that statement isn't really true. Plenty of days are complete without spending more money on stuff. Still, it's always interesting to pop in and out of unique stores and see what the offerings are. Pier 39 is no exception. Unique StoresYes, it's touristy. Yes, I still love it. Yes, I still think you should visit at least once. And by once, I mean once collectively including all of these options: 1. Drive down to test your skillzzzzzzzzIf you're looking to get off your feet for a while and enjoy the sights, you may consider taking a cruise in the Bay.
If you're interested in visiting Alcatraz Island, you'll want to reserve your tickets well in advance because they SELL OUT. Seriously. Speaking from experience. Still, I have heard from friends that it is worth the price to do it; they really enjoyed the experience and found it fascinating. As you can see above, there are a lot of dining options at Pier 39 and it is convenient to have menus with prices posted where you can look at them and make a decision before you feel too committed. lol. At random, we chose to eat at The Hook & afterwards enjoyed Trish's Donuts The Hook Restaurant at Pier 39 in San Francisco |
