Farm-ish Getaway 2-bedroom house in tranquil Alva surrounded by nature!

Nestled in the scenic Alva Oaks community, The Owl’s Nest is your charming escape with all the farmhouse feels—minus the barn chores! Our 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom home, complete with a cozy game room, offers a peaceful "FARM-ish" vibe. That’s right, all the charm of a farm without having to milk a cow at dawn!

About the Property:
Decked out in farmhouse style (without a single tractor in sight), The Owl’s Nest is surrounded by serene oaks and lovely water views. You’re about to experience the beauty of rural Florida without worrying about getting hay in your shoes. You might spot owls, red robins, blue jays, or maybe even a bobcat, bear, or alligator—but no worries, they don’t expect you to feed them!

Bedrooms: Two comfy bedrooms, perfect for sinking into after a day of rural-ish adventure (or some serious lounging).
Game Room: Featuring darts, ring toss, and Klask—nope, it’s not a fancy farm tool, it’s a wildly fun game you’ll get hooked on!
Outdoor Spaces: Sip your morning coffee (or evening cocktail, we don’t judge) on the screened front porch or the open back porch, while soaking in the calm of nature.
Wi-Fi: Yes, even in our FARM-ish retreat, we’ve got you covered with Starlink internet, so you can Instagram your “rustic” stay to your heart’s content.
Amenities:
Convection Cooktop: Heats up faster than a farm bonfire! Just remember not to block the drawer underneath—it needs to breathe too, kind of like the cows that aren’t here.
Reverse Osmosis Water System: No need to buy bottled water! We’ve got fresh, purified water straight from the kitchen tap, and the ice maker’s hooked up too—chilled, filtered hydration at its best.
Washer/Dryer: Tucked away in the living room closet, ready to tackle any post-adventure laundry (because rolling in the non-existent hay can be messy).
Smart TVs: Forget the cable, log into your favorite streaming service, because binge-watching in a farmhouse is basically self-care.
Family-Friendly and Pet-Friendly:
This FARM-ish retreat is 100% family-friendly and perfect for kids who want to experience the great outdoors without actual farm labor. We also welcome dogs up to 20 lbs (with a pet deposit)—sorry, no cats allowed, we don't want them conspiring with the owls.

Nearby Activities:
Beaches: Who says you can’t have farm life and beach life? Drive 40-50 minutes west, and you’ll hit some of Southwest Florida’s best beaches like Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel Island, and Captiva Island. Just don’t bring the hay bales—sandcastles only!
Local Trails: Explore walking and biking trails nearby for a scenic experience that doesn’t require plowing.
Dining & Shopping: Skip the barnyard breakfast and head to Alva Diner for their broasted chicken (trust us, you’ll thank us). Or swing by 31 Produce / Crack Shack Cafe for fresh local produce—because buying local doesn’t have to mean growing it yourself. If shopping is your cardio, hit up Coconut Point Mall or Miromar Outlets for a little retail therapy.
Local Attractions:
Babcock Ranch: Just a short drive away, this eco-friendly community offers outdoor adventures and wildlife experiences. No mucking out stables required!
Southwest Florida Attractions: Don’t miss the Edison & Ford Winter Estates, where you can geek out on history and innovation, or the Naples Zoo, where the wild animals are behind fences (where they belong). Feeling daring? Hop on an airboat for a thrilling ride through the Everglades—you might see some gators that prefer their swamp to your cozy farmhouse.
Important Notes:
Parking: Park in the shelled parking area in front of the house. And please, no parking on the grass—it’s FARM-ish, not a pasture.
Septic System: Only flush toilet paper. Anything else, and you’ll be giving the septic system more work than it signed up for. We’ve got sanitary bags to help with that!
Bugs: It’s Florida—if you leave doors open, you’ll have more guests than you bargained for. Shut the doors, and all the critters will stay outside where they belong.
Smoking: Smoke outside, not inside—unless you’re into hefty fines. The animals already get cranky with secondhand smoke.
Final Thoughts:
At The Owl’s Nest, you’ll get all the farmhouse charm without any of the farm duties. So, kick back, relax, and enjoy the best of Southwest Florida—from its beaches and shopping to the peaceful nature at your doorstep. Whether you're sipping coffee on the porch, challenging your family to Klask, or just soaking in the FARM-ish vibes, we hope your stay is full of laughter, relaxation, and zero livestock encounters.

We can't wait to welcome you to our charming FARM-ish retreat!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.
