We don't need anything fancy, would just like something clean in a good location. We also can't fly direct to Fort Myers so would probably fly into Tampa or Ft. Lauderdale.

Check out Tween Waters Resort. I'm sure they have what you'd need as far as rooming goes.

Last time I drove to Captiva, I-75 from Tampa down was full of construction. It was a bumpy, unpleasant ride with maniacs weaving in and out of uneven lanes. Were I to have your options, I'd opt for Fort Lauderdale and cut through Alligator Alley and up past Naples.

Good to know thanks. I drove from Sebastian to Long Boat Key once and that wasn't a bad drive. I'd rather be on backroads with some changes in scenery than freeway. I'll check out the resort too.
