About This Home

As of April 2025

Welcome to a SCENIC, TRANQUIL, RURAL FULLY renovated impressive COTTAGE for your residence delight, comfort sanctuary. This rental is for the cottage, has two bedrooms and two bath ensuites, and oozes with a delightful southern sun windowing view of a serene pond. Located off Route 31 [Babcock Road], it is just a short distance from Fort Myers MLK and North Fort Myers Bayshore corridors; it is a rural tenancy find. ALL rooms have been renovated with new wood-like flooring. The covered entrance to its left has a separate entry to its utility room with a stacked washer and dryer plus storage space. The good-sized Great Room is brightened with a FULL window view of the POND. Its dining area is already set with a beautiful glass-topped dining set for your use. The kitchen has been outfitted with a stainless appliance package, with a pantry and breakfast bar, from the kitchen doorway to the multi-use enclosed lanai [Florida Room with a dining set for your use], and its backyard views rural greenery and the pond. Both ensuites are renovated bedrooms on a split floor plan. The Primary Ensuite has a large walled closet with a large Master Bath, a good-sized tiled shower, and a linen closet.
The Second Bedroom [ensuite] enters through its renovated combo tub bath. The cottage is under a maintained Whole House RO System in the rear [East side] property metal outer building. There is also room for storage. The house is also under a FULL RING SECURITY SYSTEM for your comfort. The entrance road is from its southern side boundary, with two non-paved roads to come onto the property and "U-turns to another road to exit to Rudin. Some furniture will remain and is the property of the owner. Don’t forget to note the Northern property line lined with banana plants . . . for you. The bordering Pond and Creek with the bridge are designated off-limits, as is the adjoining occupied Northern property. Thus, renters insurance with liability coverage is recommended.
