Living Rooms: Enter the grand foyer with steps leading to the main floor of the home. The centerpiece of the great room is its granite marble fireplace and views to the third-floor balcony library. This living room offers leather seating, as well as a stunning view of the Caloosahatchee River. The large family room, featuring a leather sectional and large flat-screen TV, is just beyond the kitchen. Take a seat and enjoy a movie or the beautiful panoramic views of the river.

Dining Room: From there, you can access the formal dining room, which offers rich furnishings and a built-in marble countertop that opens to the kitchen for easy service. The dining room ceiling is reminiscent of the fresco paintings in the great cathedrals and castles of Europe. You will see these throughout the entire home.

Kitchen: The chefs' kitchen features gorgeous cabinetry, woodwork, and granite countertops; even the refrigerator is paneled to match the cabinets. The two sinks, gas stove, double oven, and warming drawer makes it any chef's dream.

Master Bedroom/Bathroom: Take the elevator or the stairs to the third floor, which features the luxurious master suite, complete with a king-size bed. Relax in the massage chair and make a drink at the wet bar offered in the suite. The master bathroom is as lavish as the rest of the home and offers two separate vanities with sinks, a large soaking tub, and a separate shower. The beauty of this home is carried over to the custom-designed master closet.

Guest Bedrooms/Bathrooms: On the third-floor landing, you will find a beautiful library wall filled with reading material for the bookworm. Next to that is an office that doubles as another guest room suite, featuring a king-size bed, private sliders leading to the wrap-around balcony, and a private full bathroom with shower.

There are two guest bedrooms located on the main floor, off of the great room. Both feature king-size beds with flat-screen TVs. These guest rooms share a Jack-and-Jill style bathroom; each with their own amenities but share a tub/shower combination.

The ground floor of the home includes a third guest bedroom with a king-size bed and flat-screen TV. A full bath with a shower is located next to the guest bedroom. There are also two dens located on this floor, one with a set of twin bunk beds and the other with a full-sized sleeper sofa. A great area for the kids to sleep!

Fitness Room & Bar: There is a fitness room on this floor, offering a wide range of workout equipment, a wet bar area with a full-size refrigerator, and a sauna with a small locker room. The gym also offers a half bathroom. This floor's centerpiece is the pub-style entertainment area, featuring a large wet bar, wine closet, pool table, air hockey table, and lots of seating. The pub area leads out to the lanai, making this space the perfect space to gather with family and friends.

Pool/Dock: The Winslet Estate has a resort-style lanai and pool area and offers a sizeable electric-heated pool divided by a waterfall on one side and offers seating around the circumference. Another rock waterfall is located in the corner of the pool. Relax in the built-in the spa and watch the boats pass on their way to the Gulf of Mexico. There are plenty of sun lounges available, making it easy to lay poolside and soak up the sun. Tucked away off the pool is a separate, more private shaded dining area.

Try your hand at fishing! You can find Lady Fish, Grouper, Mangrove Snapper, Sea Trout, Cat Fish, Skipjack, Sheepshead, Redfish and many more. There's also been sightings of sharks (2-5 foot long!), manatees and dolphins, too!

All of the rooms located at the back of the home have access to the multilevel balconies (over 2,000 square feet covered from the sun), offering spectacular river views and multiple sitting and dining areas. The second floor can be accessed on the lanai by a wide sweeping staircase; this allows easy access to the kitchen for meals served outside.

Beautiful location
The location is stunning and there were plenty of places to sit / hangout to enjoy the scenery. There were plenty of room for all our guests. Any issues when we arrived were addressed by Denny the property manager, who was very hospitable. I have to take one star away from the location and neighborhood due to construction (noise) going on next door and across the street (Even though I called the city clerks office to see if building permits were pulled and I was told No.) Overall, a great time was had by all, and we would definitely consider staying here again.

Everything we were looking for
House was great and stacked with amenities. Accommodated 7 adults very well, with enough space for everyone to hang out together and rooms were separated enough for privacy. The pool was fantastic and used everyday. Definitely worth a stay.

Amazing property
I'll go over lots in this review but know that this property is amazing and worth it!!! The balconies definitely sold me on this rental choice. The views were amazing from sunrise to sunset. It was my sisters birthday so lots of family came down from Canada to celebrate. LOVED the styling, outdated sure but it fits the property so well. The home has everything even a second full size fridge/freezer which is a huge plus for larger crowds. Steam room was awesome, bar area and pool table were very cool but please get a new triangle, its condition is embarrassing. Air Hockey table was great for kids but needs repair/replacement. Had zero issues with the air conditioning but definitely keep blinds closed when and where suggested. Office is by far the coldest room in the house next to basement so people that run hot sleep there. Lights were confusing with some minor miss labeling but after lots of trial and error we had it mostly down. 3 of the 6 spot lights at back of house were burnt out. Areas surrounding pool needs power washing in the worst way and balconies need cleaning it is easy to track dirt inside especially with children. I was there two weeks and after week 1 used Dawn dish soap, water and mops to clean entire second floor balcony. Dead bolts missing, locks rusted that need attention. I know this place has seen major flooding and was largely repaired but used as a rental more care should be taken to secure the home overall. Thank you!!!!

AMAZING House!!!
The house and all it's amenities were just as described and just as beautiful. We had 5 couples and all had ample room both privately and to hang out together. The family room sectional was even big enough for all which made watching our Chiefs win the Division Championship easy and comfortable. Each suite had it's own bathroom so we were all able to unpack and make the space our own. The pool area and hot tub were wonderful, both were warm enough to enjoy even when the temperature was below what you would consider 'swimming' weather. The kitchen provided all cooking and prep equipment we needed for a week's worth of cooking. We didn't plan it, but we had ALL our evening meals at the house. The gas range, double ovens and the gas grill outside the house made it a breeze to cook, even for 10 people. Be sure to hit the local fish market for some locally caught fish and seafood. The spice drawer was fully stocked and very little in the way of seasonings were necessary to purchase. The multiple sets of washer/dryers were used daily and we actually got home with no dirty laundry which can bring you back to reality VERY quickly. We had no issues with anything either mechanical or aesthetically, but Denny put himself at our disposal should any problems arise. The biggest problem we had was trying to find the right lightswitch - there were so MANY in a house that big.

Fantastic location property needs an upgrade
The property management and maintenance team are great. The property itself needs a complete upgrade. The A/C in particular doesn’t work adequately in all the spaces, we had to keep our bedroom blinds down all the time throughout our stay so the room didn’t heat up too much for the A/C to cope with. The lighting system is completely random and light bulbs need replacing but have been left because the are difficult to access. Some of the kitchen cupboard doors are held shut by hair bands! Not what you expect from this level of property. Overall good location, good management and maintenance team but the property needs money spending on it to do it justice.

Stunning house
Overall GREAT experience! We had a large group, and this house more than accommodated all of us and there was definitely enough to do for everyone. The pool was amazing and the kids Loved fishing from the dock. We rented a boat for the week and that just added to our experience. Although the house is very stunning, it definitely needs some TLC and repairs. If you are there, and there are thunderstorms, be VERY careful as All the tiles get very slippery. Also, with the heavy rains we had water come into the house through the gliders in the kitchen and in one of the bedrooms on main floor. With all that being said, I do have to Stress, it was a stunning home that we made a ton of wonderful memories! Thank you for sharing this Beautiful home with us!

Incredible Home. Some Maintenance Needed.
We had an incredible time during our week at the Winslet Estate, BUT there were some notable disappointments. The shower in the lower level did not work. Our children stayed in this area, so this was pretty inconvenient. The heaters did not seems to be working properly in the pool and spa. We still were able to use and enjoy them, but it would’ve been a better experience if they were properly heated, especially the spa. Overall, it was a great time. But I feel like when you’re paying this much, everything should be functional.

Great house & location
This house was fantastic for our birthday get away! Large enough that our family of 11 had plenty of space to gather together or to find a quiet spot for a nap .The pool was enjoyed by all ages. We were able to rent a boat & utilize the dock & lift. Definitely would love to return. As others have mentioned watch the electrical use. We received immediate responses from staff when we had a question or concern.

The home and outdoor space was amazing. There was plenty of room for everyone. The adult kids and grandkids spent the week in the pool. We did have a couple of issues that were addressed quickly by the property manager. A couple of suggestions; there were no baking sheets in the kitchen and only 4 washcloths in the entire house.

The house is really big an can accommodate large groups. Sun chairs need to be replaced urgently. One of the AC was not working when we arrived and got fixed the day after. Uneven cooling for the rooms… felt like you were in Alaska in one room and in Miami in the other. No toiletries available. Excellent having the gym, the pool, the sauna.
