Retirees Will Savor Life In Gulf Harbour Fort Myers

By Nigel Finters


Gulf Harbour Fort Myers is a residential community situated on McGregor Boulevard. This famed boulevard is also the venue of the winter homes of Henry Ford and Thomas Edison. These greatly enjoyed retreats are popular tourist attractions today.

The natural setting is the Caloosahatchee River. Here is an enclosed urban resort. The community is contained within the city that is a commercial center of Lee County. It provides resort quality services for the use and enjoyment of its residential members.

The self contained facility contains housing in varying styles in a nonuniform price range. An amount exceeding sixteen hundred homes is situated inside community. Top restaurants of the city are situated outside its gates.

The gated facilities include its splendid golf course with its full service clubhouse. Lockers for both men and women and formal and informal eating facilities are available in the clubhouse. There is a pro shop, ships store and marina. The in-house restaurant offers gourmet fare. Both casual and more formal dining is available at this fine restaurant. The facility also has a fitness center, sports club equipped with a spa and a community pool.

Activities outside the facility offer a variety of offerings. Cultural, entertainment, shopping and business activities that this city offers are available within short driving distance. Fort Myers Beach as well as Sanibel Island is a ten minute drive away. This luxurious sanctuary is part of a dynamic network of regional attractions. Travelers often use Southwest Florida International Airport. It is twenty minutes by car from the complex.

This region continues to appeal to retirees, young families and childless couples. Its reliable pleasant weather is also a source of its attraction. The summer heat is cooled by breezes that cool the humidity down. Temperatures during this period can exceed eighty degrees Fahrenheit. Mild winters are the busiest periods. Temperatures during this time may exceed run sixty five degrees Fahrenheit. Rainfall is usually confined to the season between June and September.

The summer weather keeps away visitors from colder regions who flock here during the winter. The period from January to April brings snowbirds eager to escape the cold at home. In this period vacationers and temporary residents flock to the region to avoid frigid temperatures elsewhere. Visitors are drawn to its blend of urban and country living. Another distinctive blend is its built infrastructure of historical and modern buildings. The buildings of the historic downtown area have a Mediterranean design. This was a popular style of the 1920s. They make a pleasing backdrop for the busy business, cultural, shopping, entertainment and food sectors. Gulf Harbour Fort Myers is a jewel set in a background having its own allure.
