8TH FLOOR GULF VIEW | JETTED ENSUITE TUB | IN-UNIT LAUNDRY | DIRECT BEACH ACCESS | FORT MYERS BEACH

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice 3 Bedroom 2 Bath condo on the beach. Great condo with a nice view, nice pool, and nice beach! Would stay again"

Beautiful condo on the Beach with Heated Pool, Pickleball, free WiFi & parking!

10/10 Excellent

"The condo was very nicely decorated and clean. The host was very accommodating with our late check out. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and we slept well. There is a public bus that goes up and down the island, and a bus stop is just across the street which was convenient. There is also a nice farmers market across the street a few days a week. The pool does close at sunset, which felt a bit early to us but that’s understandable and is no fault of the host, just the condo rules. There are a couple of restaurants and a coffee shop right across the street, 7/11 is nearby as well. **Through no fault of the VRBO host or property just an FYI - a rental car would be good to have because it cost 15-50 each way when we wanted to Uber to surrounding areas. In addition, our DoorDash and Walmart deliveries both took 2 hours due to difficulty finding delivery drivers. Definitely would have been better off with a rental car, and getting our own groceries/food. Again, this is no fault of the host or property, just an FYI Overall we had a very nice time. The beach was beautiful."

Beach Front Bargain at Estero Beach & Tennis Club!

10/10 Excellent

"This was such a cute place and perfect for a week-long getaway for 2. The location is excellent, and getting out to the beach was quick and easy. The pool was a very nice bonus. We didn’t cook, but the kitchen area was well-stocked with everything you’d need. The bed was nice and comfortable. Communication with Marcia was excellent, and she told us ahead of time about some construction that would be going on. We expected it to be loud and on-going, but it was really not an issue at all. We would definitely stay here again."

Ocean Views From Every Window | Condo 206C at Estero Beach & Tennis Club + 2 Bikes, Beach Gear. 6-7night stays

10/10 Excellent
