A vacation in Fort Myers appeals to the entire family. You can visit the winter homes of Thomas Edison and Henry Ford, which are currently museums, and then head out to tour the nearby islands. Celebrate your four-legged best friend’s presence in your life in the city. Relax in the tropical island paradise with your pets and explore the natural scenery that the area has to offer. You can romp with your pup across clean sandy beaches with turquoise waters or catch a cat nap with your pampered kitty by the poolside at your accommodation. You can choose spacious private houses amidst ample greenery for mini-adventures in the garden, or stay in swanky high-rise apartments to enjoy the view. This list has it all! Browse through our list of the top pet-friendly vacation rentals in Fort Myers, Florida.

What to look forward to:

  • Take your furry friends for a walk at Dog Beach Park, an off-leash park with a calm bay to swim in. Be sure to visit during low tide for the best experience.
  • After a day of fun, visit the pet-friendly Bonita Bills for a hearty meal over the water. The bar even has dog treats to keep your pets happy. Don't forget to try the wild-caught pink shrimp here.
