Lanai overlooking the canal.

This place was very clean and perfect for a beach vacation for the four of us. Plenty of room, comfortable beds and a nice deck overlooking the canal. The area was peaceful, quiet and you could walk to the beach. We enjoyed it.

Great little bit of Heaven

The property was clean and conveniently located near the beach. When we encountered a minor issue with the washer, the property manager responded promptly and resolved it. I would definitely consider staying there again, and I might even think about booking a couple of months in January and February of 2026.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location
The location of the apartment was great - a 5-10 minute walk from door to sitting at the beach. It was stylishly furnished with adequate kitchen supplies. It also had a nice screened in porch to relax in. However, the master bath shower was inadequate - producing barely a trickle of water. The ventilation was also set up as such that the master barely got any a/c flow. It was very hot. The apartment is across the street from the harbor, and the views are greatly impeded by a large bush. We had 3 in our party and I'd say that's what the apartment would comfortably accommodate. The concierge service offered by managing company is only for the entire duration of your stay - not a portion. The equipment delivered was late, but adequate. However, the company is quick to respond. It is very evident the apartment was redecorated after the hurricane - but not necessarily replacing or improving structures.

A very nice location

This property is clean and is located very close to Fort Myers Beach in a quiet neighborhood. The beds were comfortable. The management responded to our questions, but there was no direct communication. We had to leave messages for someone to get in touch with us. There were a few issues that were resolved with the management.

Beautiful home!

We loved our stay! Beautiful home. We had issues in the beginning the floors were quite dusty/Sandy, we told the property and they sent cleaners right away! Quick service. The only thing, is that the rooms were both were very hot at night, with the a/c on at 68 and the fans weren’t enough. It was even cold outdoors.
