Flight
RSW is for sure the most convenient airport to arrive into; however, it's not always the easiest airport to find flights to. If you're not finding affordable or nonstop flights, you can check out Tampa (TPA) or Fort Lauderdale (FLL) -- both two hours away from us.
Rental Car
Whether you choose to stay at a hotel or vacation home, parking is free. Depending on what activities you may want to partake in during the weekend, you may find having a car to be convenient (think: beach) or unnecessary (think: strolling around in the Cape).
Hotel
The wedding venue is literally behind this hotel, so you can't beat the commute! And, its downtown Cape Coral location provides plenty of restaurant and bar options within walking distance for you to enjoy during your stay. We have secured a discounted group rate. To take advantage of this special pricing, please book your stay prior to September 8th by calling the hotel directly and telling them that you're with the Ray/Rhodes Wedding, or book online at https://www.ihg.com/holidayinnexpress/hotels/us/en/cape-coral/fmycf/hoteldetail and use the Group Code RRW.
House Or Rental
If you're coming in a group or as a family, you're in luck: Lee county is swimming in vacation rentals! You can easily find an affordable McMansh on the water, if that's how you roll. Some pro-tips: - If you want beach, Fort Myers Beach is the closest, followed by Sanibel, followed by Captiva -- but bring or rent a car! Do not rent a home on North Captiva unless you're bringing or renting a boat. - If you want water access, look for homes on a canal in Cape Coral (we're known as the Water City and have more miles of canals than any city in the world, including Venice, Italy). - Or, if you don't care about natural water views, just find a great looking home with a pool! We recommend the 33914 zip code (south Cape), but then again, we're biased :)
Hotel
The Westin's about a ten minute drive from the venue, but it's a step above the Holiday Inn for those looking to put a little swank in their weekend. It's located on the water and has an on-site marina as well as dining and drinking options. Pinkies up.
