Town & River is a well-established and highly desirable waterfront community in Fort Myers, known for its scenic canals and direct access to the Caloosahatchee River—making it a true boater’s paradise. Most homes sit on deep-water canals, many with private docks, giving you effortless access to the open waters and Gulf beyond. The neighborhood blends peaceful residential charm with luxury coastal living, where beautifully updated homes and classic Florida character coexist. Its location along historic McGregor Boulevard puts you minutes from everyday conveniences and local attractions, while still feeling like a serene retreat right on the water. There are an abundance of restaurants near the home, just minutes away by car or foot.

Whether you’re watching boats float by at sunset or enjoying morning coffee with river views, Town & River feels like the best of both worlds—relaxing and tranquil, yet perfectly positioned to explore all Southwest Florida has to offer.

Why It’s the Best of Both Worlds: Town & River offers guests the serenity of waterfront living—quiet canals, boating access, and scenic streets—while keeping you close to everything you want to experience in Fort Myers. You’re just minutes from lively downtown dining, local bars, and cultural experiences, and a short drive to Sanibel Island, Captiva Island, and pristine Gulf beaches. It’s the perfect combination of a peaceful vacation escape and easy access to adventure, exploration, and fantastic food.

You’ll have private access to the entire home, including the private heated swimming pool, 2-car garage, and additional driveway parking throughout your stay. The boat lift is an additional fee, please contact me to book the boat lift separately.

Enjoy an early check-in at 3 PM and late check-out at 10 AM, giving you extra time to relax—one hour more than most rentals.
