Fun Spring Break w Family
This is a perfectly located property. The beach is across the street and visible from your balconies. Beach access is a few foot steps away, just 4 houses down the sidewalk. There is an attached pool and lanai w lounge chairs. The home has everything you need from new dishwear, nice big beach towels, beach chairs and wagon for transportation. Publix is less than a mile on the same side of the street. Although we went during Spring Break & the island was hopping, the house is far enough down the street that it was quiet. We ventured to Sanibel, Captiva, Naples & Marco during our stay. Great Location.

Perfect stay!
This property was great for our family spring break. The space was clean, very roomy, and well put together. As to be expected, there was some projects still being worked on from the hurricane damage but nothing that hindered us from having a great time. David was extremely helpful and accommodating! 10/10 would absolutely stay again.

GREAT LOCATION
The house is very spacious and had a great location. Was well equipped with beach towels, paper towel, toilet paper, laundry soap and dish soap. Close to restaurants and Publix. Things that could use improvement: 1. full LP tank 2. More kitchen accessories (i.e. larger frying pan, kitchen utensils) 3. Shampoo would be a helpful addition 4. Heated pool upon arrival

Family beach stay
We had a wonderful stay at the house. It was steps from the beach. Our 4 year old & 1 1/2 yr old loved the heated pool. The owner was prompt when I messaged him with questions. It was nice to have an owner who does that!!! We will stay again if we go back to fort Myers beach. Weather was perfect-sunny and 75!! Everyone had their own room and bathroom which was nice ( me and my husband, & 2 daughters and their husbands. ) 4 year old in twin bed room and baby upstairs in portable crib in mom and dads room. It was a nice relaxing time for all!!

Incredible home and great service!
This home was beautiful and provided a lot of fun for both me and my sister's families (11 total and still very roomy). There were lots of extra amenities provided for the beach (chairs, towels, toys, cooler, and wagons to get it all there). Even though we booked it extremely last minute, the owner was prompt answering questions and was very accommodating. We would love to return!

A nice, convenient place
On balance, a nice property for the price. We have no problem recommending. Clean and attractive interior. Kitchen, comfortable common spaces, pool area, were all as advertised. Some minor housekeeping issues on arrival, including unwashed towels in the laundry. The on-going construction on Estero Blvd, while not the property owners responsibility, should be considered an issue into 2019 for daytime noise and convienence of access. Overall, a good value.

Great access to the Beach
Property has great access to the beach. It is truly just a 5 minute walk to the beach - no need to drive your car, and if you really want to get to the shops, take the trolley. Despite Tropical Storm Ed trying to dampen the parade, we still had a beautiful sunny day. The property had some issues with electrical wiring, but I let the property person know so that I wouldn't get charged. It took a little bit longer than I expected for a response, but we only stayed for a long weekend. This being said the property is beautiful.

GREAT House with a GREAT Location!!
This is a perfect rental property if you're looking to stay in the Ft. Myers Beach area with a larger group! It's in a great location (just a walk across the road to the beach), and also has a Publix located ~a mile down the road which made picking up groceries extremely easy during my stay. The house was very clean when we arrived - the kitchen was well stocked with pots/pans, dishes, etc. They also provided extra beach chairs, carts, and towels which was very convenient given most of my group flew into the area. The covered pool area was also another added bonus! There is still some damage to other houses from Hurricane Ian last year, but the house was perfect condition! Beaches were great and there are still a lot of restaurants and shops that open that were a short walk (or 10-second drive) away. Overall had a fantastic time and didn't run into any issues with the house. David was very communicative during our check-in and check-out process...would give this 6/5 stars if I could!

Not ready for prime time or price
Ft Myers was badly damaged, completely damaged by the hurricane. This property was spared for the most part. The owner has been trying to bring it up to speed. When we arrived one of the bedrooms, one downstairs next to pool, did not even have air conditioning. There was plywood over where the A/C should have been. The covered pool is not - it is mostly destroyed. The location is great as you can literally walk across street to the beach. But you should not be paying full freight for this property while Ft Myers is under construction. And this house is still going final renovations. It will be a great house and beach location soon, but not today and should not be presented as such. Three stars and that would be generous.

Hurricane revival
This was the first rental for this property following Hurricane Ian cleanup. As soon as we inquired about it the owner called us to let us know what was working, what wasn’t, and what was available on Ft Myers Beach. So communications from the start was excellent! The owner even stopped by to check on us! The things not yet repaired were minor for us: garage doors, screens, etc. The living spaces, kitchen area and pool were what we needed and they were in excellent condition. Location is great. Right across the street from the beach with chairs, coolers and beach towels to enjoy it, plus wagons to haul it over. Although it was sobering to see the devastation still to be cleaned up and repaired, the beach is rebounding. Crowds were returning to enjoy the sun. Food trucks were available and restaurants are opening. No grocery stores yet, so get your supplies before crossing the bridge. We had a great time making memories with our kids and grandkids. We will be back!

Wonderful stay!
Overall, our entire group loved this house and the location. While there were a few things that popped up, nothing was a deal breaker and we would absolutely stay here again! David even called toward the end of the week to check in, make sure everything was going ok and that small token was appreciated. The house had a fully stocked kitchen, TONS of towels (bathroom and beach towels), lots of pool toys, beach chairs, wagons, etc. and they were all much appreciated and so helpful (def more than any other house we have stayed in). The pool and decks were our favorite parts of the house. I would highly recommend renting bikes and/or golf carts though as there tends to be a lot of traffic on Estero toward Times square and the bridge. Plus, all of the parking near restaurants/shops in times square require parking to be paid for and this house is somewhat of a lengthy walk (in our opinion). Publix is about a mile down the road for groceries. Suggestion: Wait until day 2 to buy your groceries. It is included in the welcome message that the refrigerator may seem warm upon arrival (due to being open for extended periods of time for cleaning, etc.), but in the binder on the counter is where it mentions that it can take up to 12 hrs to properly cool. We spent quite a bit of money on groceries when we got there (not seeing the 12 hr part, so that is a fault of mine) and the refrigerator wasn't cool at all. Luckily, there was another fridge/freezer in the garage that we moved groceries to temporarily. Like I said, not a deal breaker at all, just a thing we wish we realized ahead of buying groceries. Trash pick up: Trash pick up is done once a week, but when there are large groups, we really felt there should have been an alternate plan for new large parties arriving. With only 2 outdoor trash cans, both were full when we arrived and due to the holiday, trash pick up wasn't for another 4 days after we arrived (and we had 12 people). Again, not a deal breaker, we just started off in a not so great status and feel bad for the next group to check in. The beach access was a short walk away and we had ocean views from both decks (online pictures really highlight the upstairs deck, but you have good views from the middle level as well). Loved the light by the pool area so we were able to swim at night. Other suggestions: dishwasher and stove (may be time for an upgrade), pool screen door doesn't close fully, nothing that would prevent us from staying again.
