Fortb Myers Florida Apartments

Got a cheap BA flight to Miami in September but fancy going to Fort Myers or Naples, does anyone know of reasonable apartments to rent for two weeks?

    We went in 2002 and used VRBO to find this villa.

    Loads of choice.

    Thanks for that blindman, seems very good value but how did you make payment though?

    I had an Uncle in the US who sent her a $ cheque.

    However, I have found and recently used XE Trade.com to transfer £to $ to the US.
    I have rented a Condo in Maui and sent the deposit.

    Fairly easy to setup (takes about 1 week) and the exchange rate is very good and its FREE.
    Takes about 1 week to transfer the funds into the customers US bank account.

    That's a good tip, I will investigate further as I still have some time before flight. Thanks again blindman.
