Perfect stay, great proximity to beach
Myself, my daughter and 1 of her friends traveled with us….we loved the house and its proximity to the beach. It’s about a block away and was close enough to come back to have lunch and then go back. We had plenty of room for the 3 of us and would have had plenty of room for more. Would definitely book again.

Perfect size vacation stay
A few steps from the beach, spacious living room, nice secluded patio. Everything we needed to start our comfortable stay is here, and the grocery store is only a mile away.
My entire family was very happy we chose this for our home away from home.

House near beach
Excellent house for those that would like to walk the beach….Literally about a block away. This is a quiet little neighborhood. There are small houses, nestled amongst mansions on this island. As you drive around, you will see still the Ramas of the storm Ian. This three bedroom house is clean and has all the amenities you need.

quick weekend getaway
House was perfect. Very clean. Beautifully decorated and stocked with everything we needed.Great location. We walked the beach every morning and evening. Lots of shells and beautiful sunsets. Still a lot of rebuilding going on but nothing that would hinder any plans. Some restaurants are open near where the pier was. I would not hesitate to return.

I had messaged to ask if I could have more than one 'well behaved dog' and they said yes. It was a very nice stay. Clean, convenient and basically anything you could want. Ft. Myers has a ways to go to recover to pre-Ian condition but you have the beach to yourself and you can find places to eat with no difficulty. Quiet getaway.

Beach House Weekend Gateway
Lovely property with easy walking distance access to beach front. Unexpected surrounding community very much still struggling to rebuild after the last Hurricane hit to the area. There are no walk-in distance restaurants or a true commercial downtown to visit. Quite desolate. But if you’re in for quite time at a beach for “yourself “ without the crowd madnesses…this is it!

Very cute little cottage
Definitely a Florida style vacation home. Plenty of room for family. Large dining room table big enough for the whole family. Lots of space. Cute rooms and decor. I preferred entering through the side door closest to the laundry room to leave dirty shoes and towels as to not track sand into the kitchen and to leave other things in the way of the kitchen. Comfortable stay fir me and my pet.

Ideal family getaway
After 2 years of pandemic isolation, our family decided to take a quick getaway to Fort Myers following a work conference. We could not have picked a better VRBO rental. The house was exactly as listed and it’s proximity to the beach was perfect. The house has everything a family needs while away from home. The neighborhood is quiet and restaurants are within walking distance. Sarah was very responsive and clear on all communication. If you’re looking for the ideal getaway spot in FMB, this is the place!

Enjoyable Stay
We stayed at this property for 4 weeks. Location was awesome. Easy access to the beach. Very Clean. Very well supplied including bikes, beach cart, beach towels, etc. There was an outdoor shower that was very enjoyable. Only complaint was that both bedroom closets were locked with owner’s items. There was only a rack in the laundry room to hang our items. Should at least allow one closet especially with the length of our stay. Overall, great experience. Highly recommend!

Perfect place and location!!
This home is so beautiful, we love the canal views from the living room window. The hot tub is so wonderful to use in November since it gets cool at night. The beach is literally a block away and the home is so close to anything you want to do. It is well equipped for cooking if you choose to and Sarah was very responsive to my messages if I had any questions. We will be booking this lovely home again hopefully in the near future!!

Enjoyed Our Stay!
House was just as pictured--very clean and in walking distance from the beach and restaurants. Very well-stocked with everything you need (and then some), and we liked having the bicycles to ride also. Owner responded to emails quickly. Had a wonderful vacation and would consider staying here again.
