Everglades City Vacation Rentals, Homes, Condos, Villas and Beach Rentals
Everglades City
, “Fishing and Stone Crab Capital of Southwest Florida,” is nestled behind the major highways and is the last town before reaching Florida Bay and the Ten Thousand Islands. It thrives on fishing and other water related activities, and is reminiscent of small towns in the Florida Keys. As you would expect, the town is full of great seafood restaurants, and also bait and marine shops. It is home to The Everglades City Museum and the Everglades National Park Gulf Coast Visitor Center is located on the main road into town. Everglades City is surrounded by fascinating scenic parks, including Everglades National Park, Big Cypress National Preserve and Collier-Seminole State Park. From Everglades City, you can take a boat tour into the vast and silent Everglades jungle. Guided tours of the 10,000 Islands areas are given by canoe, kayak and motorboat, or rentals for canoes, kayaks and camping equipment are available for those who wish to explore on their own. Fishing is prime here, either on or off shore, with some of the most popular spots being near the two bridges that connect Marco Island to the mainland. Many people also fish the canals that criss-cross Marco Island, and the area beaches can also be productive, especially at dawn and dusk. Other things to do include swimming, shelling and other beach activities; it’s also an excellent area for birdwatching. As the gateway to the Everglades, Everglades City is a good base from which to explore this unique, beautiful place.
Southwest Florida, along the Gulf Coast between Fort Myers and The Everglades, is also known as "The Paradise Coast." It has a subtropical climate that brings warm temperatures year round, balmy tropical breezes, sunny skies and occasional thunderstorms. Also known as a "Mediterranean-type" climate, the Southwest Gulf Coast region has long, languid summers and mild dry winters. Most rain occurs between the months of June through September, and showers and thunderstorms are generally brief, though sometimes heavy. More often than not, the sun is shining again within minutes. Winters are nothing short of delightful, with near perfect daytime temperatures and cool evenings. Hurricane season in Florida generally runs late August through November.
