Amazingly close to the Beach!
Clean and comfortable place to stay! Proximity to the beach is the best feature! Literally a three minute walk to a beautiful beach that was peaceful and had powdery white sand. We didn’t try it but you could walk a couple miles on the beach and have access to shopping as well. Definitely would stay here again.

Fun in the Sun — Short Stroll to the Beach
Great property with a super accommodating and responsive host. Beach friendly setup in a quiet neighborhood, just a short drive to supermarket and a little longer one to a variety of great restaurants and bars. Plenty of room for two couples and multiple kids (bunk bed room).

Nice for a short getaway close to the beach.
The vacation rental was clean and tidy when we arrived, which is always helpful. However, given the conditions in the surrounding area following a number of hurricanes in the recent years, the neighborhood is in the recovery phase, and there is lots of construction and empty lots. The beach is nearby and is beautiful, as are many of the local sites. But for a family vacation with a number of children, the space was lacking as it wasn't really comfortable for the kids to run around outside. The kitchen was nicely equipped, but without a dishwasher it was challenging for a weeklong vacation.There were a also number of maintenance issues - a leak from upstairs a non-working lock were the biggest concerns. Willy was responsive but nothing was actually done to fix the problems. There were also cockroaches in the kitchen area throughout our trip. I get it, it's Florida but not something we expect to deal with at a vacation rental.

Wonderful Stay.
Check-in process was great. Had a little issue with the property not being clean but when I contacted the host he said that a contractor had been there for repairs the day before and told him that everything was left in good order. (It was not) He had his cleaning crew come immediately, they had it all cleaned up in less than an hour. The kitchen was well stocked and the furniture clean and comfortable. The wine is a nice touch. We would definitely stay here again.

Prime location
I must start by praising Willy, the host, who was absolutely amazing. Communication was effortless and the bottle of wine that was provided as a Welcome gift, was greatly appreciated.
Now, onto the property itself. It's situated in the heart of Estero Island on a quite street, just a block from Estero Blvd - a 5 minute walk from the beach. My GF and I decided to treat ourselves to a girly getaway, bringing along our four kids while leaving hubby's behind. We stayed in the 1st flr unit which provided ample sleeping space for all of us. While one of the bedrooms had two bunk beds intended for our teenagers, they ended up preferring the convertible couch in the living room for the duration of our stay.
The unit had recently undergone renovation and looked fantastic. The kitchen was well-stocked though we did find ourselves missing a few basics such as condiments, salt/pepper, and oil, so we picked up what we needed and left it behind for the next tenants to enjoy. The backyard space had a lovely patio set and a charcoal grill.
The property provided beach chairs, hammocks, a couple of boogie boards, and coolers. We did find it necessary to purchase some beach towels.
If you plan on visiting the Time Square area plan ahead as traffic can get quite heavy around 4-5 pm. There's still a considerable amnt of construction in progress, due to rebuilding efforts following Ian's destruction.
Overall we were pleased with the accommodations provided. Thank you Willy for a great experience

Had a short weekend to getaway from the cold up north and stayed here. Easy to access the beach which was beautiful! It was clean and very comfortable. There was a slight musty smell, but then there is still a lot of clean up in the area from the hurricane. Would stay here again.

The Perfect Spot
What a fantastic place to stay. The location is perfect. It’s on a quiet, private little street just steps away from the beach. It is also less than a mile from a grocery store. We came for the shelling and the beach by the house was our best location by far, even better than famous Sanabel Island.
The host is perfect too. Communication with him was prompt and easy. He was flexible with us when we needed a later checkout.
The house itself is clean and comfortable. The beds were very comfy and there was plenty of space for my family of seven.
Highly highly recommend this rental. Thank you

Overflow from Upstairs Gramma and Girls
Great location, quiet and safe neighborhood, easy walk to the beach. We rented the upstairs unit as well. Skimpy on supplies, washer did not fill with more than a splash of water and need more outside seating. When booking watch for three additional fees besides tax.
We would rent the unit again.

Perfect for small family to walk to the beach. Just a block and a half. No need to worry about parking or traffic. Plenty of space for relaxing and hanging out after a day in the sun in a quiet neighborhood. Close to restaurants and state parks with kayaking and other amenities.

Great place to stay
I would give this place a 4 out of 5. The place itself was amazing. Literally a block from the beach. Very clean and upkeep was spot on. The only downside to this trip is the location of the house in reference to all of the stuff downtown. It is about 3 miles to time square. It is not a huge deal if you want to rent bikes or get an Uber. Overall, a great place to stay and would go back

Location was great.
Overall our stay was good. However the property owner never added the check in instructions to my account, or check out, or any other information. We we arrived the cleaning lady was there staying in the upstairs and that is the only reason we were able to gain access to the home. That was pretty stressful. The internet password was incorrect. There were 3 trash cans on the side of the house that were overflowing with smelly trash. While we were there we had 2 bags of trash and when I took it out there were maggots crawling in the cans. Like it hadn’t been picked up in weeks. I saw the neighbors pull out their cans, so I did the same. Beds were very comfy. AC worked great. Quiet neighborhood super easy walk to water. Plenty of chairs to go to the beach with. Very clean. Could use more bath/kitchen towels. Better communication from the owner and the trash being taken care of would have got 5 stars.

A few surprises
Arrived to find the property for sale and code violation posted on the door by the City. Had to call the property owner to get the correct access code and a key to lock the side door. Those were the surprises. The inside is as shown in the photos- nice, very open inside, great appliances and very clean. Great location on a quiet residential side street about 5-10 minute easy walk to a beautiful deep beach and very Long Beach. Property owner was friendly and very responsive when contacted. He worked with us to reschedule when original plans in March 2020 had to be postponed. Other than the surprises, it was a pleasant stay.
