Relaxing Island Retreat with Direct Beach Access - Breakers West Unit B1

10/10 Excellent

"There was a pool view from this very nice condo. It is end unit on the road side of the building. Everything you need is available. We did food delivery from Walmart in Fort Meyers. Unfortunately, with the exception of three hours, we had rain and thunderstorms. We got to check out the beach for a little bit, but another storm was rolling in, it was very nice and so quiet. Typical shells, but I heard that after hurricane isias passed by, the shelling was amazing. We gave up after two days and went home, we live in north central Florida, so for us it worked out. Jill was amazing with communication."
