The beauty of this home is carried over to the custom-designed master closet. Guest Bedrooms/Bathrooms: On the third-floor landing, you will find a beautiful library wall filled with reading material for the bookworm.

Fitness Room & Bar: There is a fitness room on this floor, offering a wide range of workout equipment, a wet bar area with a full-size refrigerator, and a sauna with a small locker room. The gym also offers a half bathroom. This floor's centerpiece is the pub-style entertainment area, featuring a large wet bar, wine closet, pool table, air hockey table, and lots of seating. The pub area leads out to the lanai, making this space the perfect space to gather with family and friends. Pool/Dock: The Winslet Estate has a resort-style lanai and pool area and offers a sizeable electric-heated pool divided by a waterfall on one side and offers seating around the circumference. Another rock waterfall is located in the corner of the pool. Relax in the built-in the spa and watch the boats pass on their way to the Gulf of Mexico. There are plenty of sun lounges available, making it easy to lay poolside and soak up the sun. Tucked away off the pool is a separate, more private shaded dining area. All of the rooms located at the back of the home have access to the multilevel balconies (over 2,000 square feet covered from the sun), offering spectacular river views and multiple sitting and dining areas. The second floor can be accessed on the lanai by a wide sweeping staircase; this allows easy access to the kitchen for meals served outside. The Winslet Estate is one-of-a-kind and will truly make any vacation memorable. Book your trip to paradise today!

The house and all it's amenities were just as described and just as beautiful.
We had 5 couples and all had ample room both privately and to hang out together. The family room sectional was even big enough for all which made watching our Chiefs win the Division Championship easy and comfortable. Each suite had it's own bathroom so we were all able to unpack and make the space our own.
The pool area and hot tub were wonderful, both were warm enough to enjoy even when the temperature was below what you would consider 'swimming' weather.
The kitchen provided all cooking and prep equipment we needed for a week's worth of cooking. We didn't plan it, but we had ALL our evening meals at the house. The gas range, double ovens and the gas grill outside the house made it a breeze to cook, even for 10 people.
Be sure to hit the local fish market for some locally caught fish and seafood. The spice drawer was fully stocked and very little in the way of seasonings were necessary to purchase.
The multiple sets of washer/dryers were used daily and we actually got home with no dirty laundry which can bring you back to reality VERY quickly.
We had no issues with anything either mechanical or aesthetically, but Denny put himself at our disposal should any problems arise.
The biggest problem we had was trying to find the right lightswitch - there were so MANY in a house that big.

It was a privilege to be the first guests of this magnificent home after the restoration from IAN. Kudos to the crew who worked to bring this beautiful, elegant property back ... it's almost a miracle! We stayed almost 3 weeks and loved every minute...thank you.

The property management and maintenance team are great. The property itself needs a complete upgrade. The A/C in particular doesn’t work adequately in all the spaces, we had to keep our bedroom blinds down all the time throughout our stay so the room didn’t heat up too much for the A/C to cope with. The lighting system is completely random and light bulbs need replacing but have been left because the are difficult to access. Some of the kitchen cupboard doors are held shut by hair bands! Not what you expect from this level of property. Overall good location, good management and maintenance team but the property needs money spending on it to do it justice.

Overall GREAT experience! We had a large group, and this house more than accommodated all of us and there was definitely enough to do for everyone. The pool was amazing and the kids Loved fishing from the dock. We rented a boat for the week and that just added to our experience.
Although the house is very stunning, it definitely needs some TLC and repairs. If you are there, and there are thunderstorms, be VERY careful as All the tiles get very slippery. Also, with the heavy rains we had water come into the house through the gliders in the kitchen and in one of the bedrooms on main floor.
With all that being said, I do have to Stress, it was a stunning home that we made a ton of wonderful memories!
Thank you for sharing this Beautiful home with us!

Incredible Home. Some Maintenance Needed.
We had an incredible time during our week at the Winslet Estate, BUT there were some notable disappointments.
The shower in the lower level did not work. Our children stayed in this area, so this was pretty inconvenient.
The heaters did not seems to be working properly in the pool and spa. We still were able to use and enjoy them, but it would’ve been a better experience if they were properly heated, especially the spa.
Overall, it was a great time. But I feel like when you’re paying this much, everything should be functional.

This house was fantastic for our birthday get away! Large enough that our family of 11 had plenty of space to gather together or to find a quiet spot for a nap .The pool was enjoyed by all ages. We were able to rent a boat & utilize the dock & lift. Definitely would love to return. As others have mentioned watch the electrical use. We received immediate responses from staff when we had a question or concern.

Overall the house is good. Alot of minor maintenance issues. Lots of burned out lights and things that did not work. Gate stuck open, outside tv did not work, had to constantly add water to pool, several doors very hard to open and close. Still an amazing rental.

The home and outdoor space was amazing. There was plenty of room for everyone. The adult kids and grandkids spent the week in the pool. We did have a couple of issues that were addressed quickly by the property manager. A couple of suggestions; there were no baking sheets in the kitchen and only 4 washcloths in the entire house. Overall our week was fabulous and we would visit again.

We stayed with friends and family in early October. The weather was perfect. Close proximity to local restaurants, beaches, & Sanibel Island. Kids enjoyed the large pool and game rooms. Plenty of beds for 12 of us. Only issue we had is the ability of the home to cool down. Some nights were pretty warm in the upstairs suites.

The house is really big an can accommodate large groups. Sun chairs need to be replaced urgently. One of the AC was not working when we arrived and got fixed the day after. Uneven cooling for the rooms… felt like you were in Alaska in one room and in Miami in the other.
No toiletries available.
Excellent having the gym, the pool, the sauna.

This was the best place we’ve rented. Wish we would have rented longer. I think it could have been cleaned better but the house was so amazing it topped that:-) Will definitely rent again and I also will be recommending this house to all my family and friends:-)

Fantastic stay
We really enjoyed our stay at this home. The rental company was a joy to work with and they were available for all questions. The location was wonderful and the house held many unique features. Having a full home gym available was an added bonus for our group and the view from the pool was amazing. I would recommend this rental in the future for large groups.

Awesome place but beware of charge for utilities
Place was great but there is a limit on how much electric you can use. Keeping the house at a reasonable temperature put us over the limit which they take out of your deposit.

Awesome Retreat for Large Family
We stayed for a week in June 2020 with a group of 11. The pool was key with the very hot weather. Everyone enjoyed the outdoor area and lots of room to spread out within the house. The house is hard to keep cool as it is so large. My only suggestion would be to add some extra portable fans to help keep the air moving. It was very warm sleeping a couple of nights. House is well stocked and we appreciated the beach towels!
