Beach stay

Very accommodating property and great communication fromHost. The back porch view is amazing! It will be nice when that area is grown back up from the hurricane and there’s a little more to do in that area! Property is great though, and I have rented it twice!

South end of Ft Myers Beah

Nice out of the crowded areas on south end of Estero Blv. Had a nice time even though the water quality was poor. It is peaceful when the bridge construction is done. Great views from the house updated inside. About 300 yards from the water but the whole beach is yours.

Paradise @ Fort Myers Beach!

This place was fantastic for our family and has been labeled the 'best place we've ever stayed!' by all. The house and its amenities are all encompassing. They provided so many things for our enjoyment, we didn't even use them all! Communication with the rental property managers was perfect. Access to the beach was good, a little walk (which we need), but never crowded. Like having your own private beach. Thank you so much!

Paradise

The house was amazing, the view was gorgeous and the weather was perfect. Though it was sad to see Fort Myers with so much construction, it was nice to be there without the enormous crowds. No complaints about the house, but beach toys for the kiddos would’ve been nice and maybe a wagon to haul it all in. The walk to the water is significant. But we loved it, this maybe the house return to year after year ❤️

Beautiful!

We saw dolphins twice each day, collected more shells than we could fit in our suitcases, sunrises/sunsets, and the home had ample room and amenities. Loved the large beach towels, wagon, chairs, A/C, washer/dryer, and tubes to float on. The view was great, comfy couch, and clean. A couple things to note: there is construction going on all around that end of the island. 90% of the time, it wasn’t an issue but a couple of days it was pretty loud for part of the day. The beds/pillows were lacking in comfort a bit, but I am picky that way. It was quite a trek down to the water’s edge-a good 5 minute walk, which I thought was great-I love walking in the sand, but it would be hard with young children or elderly.

Perfect Location

Loved the location but a lot of construction was going on to one side of us and on the new bridge but that was expected after the hurricane. Cons: When we got there, a smoke detector was chirping. The ice maker in the main refrigerator was disgusting (I opened it up when it got jammed),so we used the ice from ice trays in the second refrigerator, the second refrigerator wouldn’t get very cold, the inner side back doorknob on the ground floor came off when simply trying to close the door from the inside.Pros: the beds and couch were comfy, pillows were great, location is away from the hustle & bustle of the north end of the island, traffic wasn’t bad on the south end of the island, it was a bit of a walk out to the water but the shelling was good. Being at the end of the island it felt like we were on a private beach with only a handful of people other than my family.

BIRDS and SEAWEED

Well what can i say the house was great except it needs a little more 2024 in it. Like USB chargers and a few outlets of easy access in and out of house. This house is perfect for bird lovers as the Bird Sanctuary is great but not for me as i had to battle the birds and their friends everytime i wanted to walk. The walk to the beach was not bad at all but what was frustrating was the massive amounts of seaweed that this time of the year we got to the point i could not enjoy my beach access behind the house and the city never once stopped by to clean up the mess. i guess since no one is staying out there renting that not enough complaints come in so they do not care. But overall the house was great for the family and the beds were SUPER comfotable except for the loft bunk beds those things were rough.

The house was clean and spacious. Our family was comfortable and relaxed. We enjoyed the terrace in the afternoons and the bottom floor was great for happy hour. Barbecue was clean and the outside bathroom was clean and new. The only thing that needs to be changed areboth refrigerators. The small refrigerator does not cool enough but the freezer is good. The kitchen refrigerator is really old. Overall everything else was great. I’m glad Fort Myers is rebuilding again and we can enjoy their beaches
