Estero, FL is wonderful in every way. It is an upscale village sitting between SW Florida International Airport in Fort Myers, FL, and the posh city of Naples, FL.  More

A slice of paradise exists here in southwest Florida! Winters are warm with average highs in the 70s along with abundant sunshine. Morning lows average in the 50s.   More
