"This is one off our favorite places we have ever stayed. Everything was there we needed. The owners were easy to communicate with and very helpful. The condo had everything and more than we needed. The bed was comfortable. The condo was very clean and very nicely decorated. The location was perfect for us right on the beach and very quiet. We will definitely stay here again if we come back to Fort Meyers Beach. We love to find sea shells and this location was the best shelling beach we have ever been to. Great stay thank you!!!!"
