Southwest Florida

[314joey]

There were some questions about SWF so I thought I'd start a thread with some basic info and if anyone has any further questions or comments we can post them here without hi-jacking anyone's thread.

There's lots of beautiful places in SWF, we picked Ft. Myers/Cape Coral for a few reason, it's within a 30 minute drive to a reasonably sized airport, there's lots of houses

within the 400-500K price range that are on the ICW within 30 minute boat ride to the GOM. we can boat 50 miles either North or South to get to Punta Gorda or Marco

Island (respectively), close to Sanibel/Cativa and to Ft. Myers Beach and tons of open beaches that you can beach your boat, explore and relax all day.


And if we want, for a $120 we can take the Key West Express (3 hour shuttle boat ride) down to KW for the weekend, doesn't get much better than that.


All the cities up and down the coast are great, but those were our reasons for picking where we ended up which is in SW Cape by Cape Harbour/Rumrunners part or town.

I'll start a thread later showing the complete re-model we did to our place here in SWF with the dock and pool out back, if anyone has any questions ask away.
