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.

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.

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.

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 ❤️

The host was very misleading. We received consistent erroneous messages. The property did not have a pool. We received two different messages prior to arrival putting us on notice that the pool cleaning group would be onsite during the first day of out stay. We became ex tied that possibly the property had a pool. Of course it did not. We then received arrival/entry instructions giving us an alphabetical code for entry. We later learned that was incorrect and were provided a numerical code for entry. We arrived to the area early and I asked the host if the property were ready could we come in earlier than the posted 4:00 check in time. We received a message a little later that the property was ready and we could come at 1:00 but for a fee of 200. We just found something to do for a few hours. We then had two dogs. One was a service dog. The other in training. The host could not get this straight although I asked at registration where do I note that we have two medium dogs. This conversation went on for two days and they never actually got the information correct. The property is listed as a pet friendly property.

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

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.

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.

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.

Amazing house and location

Clean and comfortable beautiful house. Well appointed. King sized beds in 3 bedrooms on the main floor - all very comfortable. Houses 3 couples easily and comfortably. 3rd floor has double bed and twin bunk along with extra mattress and cot for families with children. Views from all 3 decks are amazing to watch the sunrise and sunset. Main floor deck comfortable outdoor seating for eating or just relaxing in the shade. Beach is beautiful - well maintained. Bottom floor has large rec room with pool table and ping pong table along with comfortable seating and large TV. Hot tub is a definite plus. Easy access on/off Ft. Meyers Beach from the south. Quiet and relaxing neighborhood. Would definitely rent here again in the future - it was by far the best rental we've had in the 6+ years we've been coming to Ft. Meyers and area.
