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!

Excellent location, beautiful house

A very beautiful house that is very well equipped. Everything was very clean. Above all, the location is unique. The view was fascinating every day. If we had any problems, the team helped us quickly.

Very relaxing experience

Really nice house, with excellent views. Great responsiveness, from owner. The full size mattress on the top floor might be uncomfortable for some people.

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.

Beautiful home and tons of space but could use a little TLC. The views are amazing! We had a couple issues and property management did their best to handle and were very responsive. They were kind enough to give us a gift card and apple pie for the inconvenience caused by the issue we had. A lot of the beach was closed off due to the safety of baby birds hatching, but we still had enough space to enjoy the beach at the water. Great area for bird lovers. The beach is huge - about a 4 minute walk to get to water's edge, but very private. We enjoyed our stay.

Nice House

The house was lovely. I am sure this is a great place to stay when the weather cooperates. We had severe wind and flooding rain during our entire stay. We would liked to have known that we would have to travel 30+ minutes for any indoor activities. We were provided a list of many outdoor activities by the company however, a list of indoor ideas would have been extremely helpful.

We had an amazing time. The property was in a beautiful location. Very quiet and a pristine beach. Quick drive to shops and restaurants. The house was nicely furnished and there was a lot of space. The only reason I didn't give the house 5 stars is because of the air conditioning. During the day it had to be set on 74 and 75 at night. This is s ridiculous rule for paying guests. When it's in the 90's the house gets very hot. Hence the box fans in every room. We kept all the ceiling fans on high and it was so hot at night. Even with the noisy box fans running. The only room that stayed cool was the top floor. I would definitely recommend this property but only if the air conditioning was upgraded.

Nice home for fMLies

Big and spacious for multiple family members. Beautiful views from comfortable large deck. It is about 400 yards from the water so you need to take that into account. We had a wonderful stay. However, this was one of the only places rented along the entire Estro Blvd due to the hurricane damage. We did have problems with biting sand fleas and the red tide caused allergic reactions from some family members. But I think this is just a left over of the hurricanissues

Wonderful House.

Overall, love the house, you cannot beat the views. J.C., the owner, is fantastic and is very responsive. Unfortunately, he no longer manages the company and has left this to a property manager, who is not the most responsive. We had to buy our own toilet paper since there was only one partial one on the roll and no extra, no extra paper towels, and we had to buy our own sponge to wash our dishes. Other than these minor issues, the house was a 5/5.
