Family getaway to Fort Myers
Recently got back from our stay in Fort Myers, the house was OK. Whoever is taking care of the maintenance is not doing a good job. The pool was very dirty, I tried to clean it myself but the pool net was torn. The house inside was in decent shape, but didn’t seem like the floor had been vacuumed/cleaned in a long time, and the closet door in the hallway leading to the bedrooms was completely off its hinges. I tried to contact the property manager through the Vrbo application but the app kept timing out (not the property manager’s fault). Nonetheless, we still had a great time, the house is a fantastic size, easily accommodated our family.

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.

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!!

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

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!
