Hi,

My sister is looking to rent a villa as per above. She's visited the state before, but this time is struggling to find somewhere suitable and is getting a little worried, as time is a-hurrying along.

She isn't looking for Orlando, Fort Myers area, but would prefer the Gulf Coast. Any ideas folks? She's been looking on homeaway - any thoughts for other sites (though I realise many owners may advertise on several sites)???

Hi have a look this web site http://www.dibb.co.uk it's a British Disney site and they have a villa section.

Thanks!

disney isnt the gulf coast ! fort meyrs is though

try vrbo.com or villas2000.com

any ideas roughly where - you have from Naples to Spring Hill -around 150 miles to choose from.

you have from the opulent (Naples) , the busy (TAmpa/st petes/siesta key) to the quiet (rotonda)...on the beach (costly) a few miles off (cheaper)

name your choice

There are gulf coast listings on the DIBB.

They're looking for a villa rather than a condo. Like us, they've previously stayed in the Rotunda/Port Charlotte area and loved it, but would like to try somewhere else. They also like being by water, and would like a pool. Just the two of them though, and I think their budget is about £800 a week.

Pete - thanks for your message. I did reply, but it bounced! This has happened before when Ive been PM'd from the site - does anyone know why?

no problem

for that they could stay at manasota key. its about 10 miles from rotonda but right on the beach . we have stayed there before we moved here -the homes generally dont have private pools though.

going south Fort Myers beach is the next best. heading north is harder maybe siesta or longboat ?

Thanks Pete. They've stayed at Manasota before too, or rather, just off it, so they could get a pool. She's also realised (as indeed I have) that it gets harder when looking north - but thanks to everyone for their help and suggestions - have passed them on to her (it's what little sisters do!), it's now in her hands.

And thanks Trev2282 for your PM and tips. As my email reply bounced, thanks expressed here instead!
