Escape from Louisville

We stayed Jan. 13-27, 2024, during which our hometown Louisville had some zero temperatures, good timing! We have spent a part of winter in this area for 25 years. This was one of the nicest rentals we have had. Finishes were all top notch. Both showers had curbless entry and two shower heads, fixed and handheld. The pool was great, big enough for some serious laps (not for me!) and at a comfortable temperature. The main bed had a TempurPedic mattress. TV system was a bit funky with a bunch of streaming services, bring your passwords. The living room could have used one comfy chair to complement the nice sofa and love seat. The house was well located on a canal with Fort Myers just a few minute away and Fort Myers Beach and Sanibel about 25 minutes drive. Both were still recovering from Hurricane Ian. We are both in our 80s, and this may have been our last trip to the area, so it was nice to have such a good experience.
