Rain all week before we arrived resulted in the gulf water on the beach being quite dirty. Nothing to with the ex property or owners.

Our second time back, love the location. Beautiful views from the decks.

This property is exactly as described! Beautiful views from both decks! Easy walk to beach. Easy to go and come from beach to house. Shower available to rinse off before going inside. Highly recommend this house. Loved the privacy and will definitely book here again. Owners were very quick to respond and we were even able to check in a little early!!!

Cleanliness rating is zero stars Location rating is five stars Check out rating is zero stars It was 9am and the maid dumped out a bag of shells my daughter and I gathered all week! Pathetic! To pay that much and you don't even have a check out time until 10am like stated. My bedroom was the master bedroom. I pulled the sheets down to see a couple long black hairs strung along in the bed. Had to strip the bed to wash everything the first day. Not ideal. I didn't check the other beds as I wasn't sleeping in them. My toilet still had feces stuck around the bowl. Shower corners had gunk in them. Dishwasher dishes were still dirty because the dishwasher doesn't get them clean. dishes and pots and pans inside cabinets were dirty. Had to rewash everything before using. Kitchen cabinets inside and out probably haven't been cleaned or disinfected in a year. Did not feel comfortable walking around or showering without sandals on. The rugs throughout the house had sand in them. We got both vacuums out to clean up and both did not stuck anything up. Not enough white bath towels and rags for 7 people so we had to do laundry often. Towels still left in dryer when arrived Grill was dirty Sheets were dirty. Rugs were dirty House did not have a good smell to it Everything felt grimy Trash still in cans when we arrived. One extra roll of tp for entire house when there wasn't even a new roll left on. What really did it for me was at 9am on our check out day (Saturday) the maid was already downstairs moving our stuff around. We were getting our stuff organized to be put in the car as I walked downstairs to gather our stuff we left outside on the bottom deck. The maid was already moving our stuff around. She dumped out a ziplock bag of shells my daughter and I had been collecting all week. Completely livid. Completely disrespectful to touch other people's stuff! Memories with my 5 year old gone. Then the maid tried to grab a bag of dirty clothes I had set by our car to load up. I had to tell her those are my clothes when when says is this trash and she picks it up to take it and she drops them. Wow! Still not even 930am she starts taking her stuff up stairs as we are trying to get our bags out. You do not go inside when we aren't completely checked out yet. We have until 10am! Absolutely do not recommend! Unless you want a dirty house and someone to start moving your stuff around before check out and trying to throw your stuff away!

excellant place

Wonderful place. Able to walk to the beach without having to cross a street and only a 2 min walk to the water. Great sunset views and can see the water from the both decks and the main living area of the home. Perfect main bedroom/bathroom that has a great view and is extremely comfortable. Also very close to grocery store and pharmacy. Would come here again for sure.

Great layout and location.

We had a great experience!!! The property was well equipped, very comfortable, and the perfect location!! We spoke with the owner once, he was very friendly and helpful !! We definitely want to go back again!!

Our stay was amazing and the house had everything we needed. The house was clean and ready for our arrival, including a bouquet of fresh flowers! The kitchen was extremely well stocked and has everything you need to cook. The view and location can not be beat. Amazing coffee and cocktail views of dolphins and sunsets. Lots of shells and plenty of beach chairs and tables. The hosts were quick to answer any questions we had. It is a 10 min walk to Publix. This is the perfect house for a beach retreat! We would definitely stay again!

Enjoyed our stay at this property. House is well stocked with everything you need. Great experience and would stay here again. Communication with owner was easy and timely.

We spent a week in Fort Myers Beach and had a great time! This house has everything you need to have a great time at the beach! Beach is less 250 steps to the beach and the views from the main/upper decks are great!! House is very close to Publix which is a bonus bc traffic on the island can get messy. The internet speed (DSL) was a little slow but it served it purpose for our needs. If we head back to FMB we will be sure to rent this house again!

The owners have combined quality amenities with the feeling of home. Everything is clean, looks, smells and feels good. I swear the master bed is more comfortable than the new one we have at home. Due to dietary restrictions we prepare at least 2 meals a day. The food store is close enough that we biked there as often as we drove as were the two farmers markets. The home is fully stocked with plenty of cookware and utensils. You don't feel like you are in a rental. because of the high quality of the furnishings and supplies. It is obvious that this family takes pride in providing a great property. They are easy to reach and have taken the time to make personal suggestions on where to rent bikes, activities to do, and places to find specialty items. You can see and hear the ocean from the house. The beach begins about 30' from the porch, no need to put on shoes or cross a street! Just mosey down a private path at the end of the driveway.

Hate to give this review bc then everyone will want to stay! The house is a perfect getaway with or without guests. If you do have guests, everyone is comfortable with their own en-suite bathroom access. Nice updates, comfortable furniture, great location on the island. We definitely will ask to rent again!

Excellent communication with owners. Property was perfect for my family. We had three separate bedrooms with bathrooms. It had two lovely decks, one covered and one for sitting out in sun or watching beautiful sunsets. It was right on the beach. It included chairs we could take to the beach as well as a tent to sit out of sun but still enjoy the beach. Overall it was a very enjoyable stay.

The pictures are accurate, the house is clean and nicely decorated and the beach is just a few steps away! We enjoyed sitting on the decks throughout our stay, even at night relaxing under the stars and listening to the ocean. Staying mid-island ensured it was quiet and we loved Bayfront Bistro for dinner especially because we didn’t have to sit in traffic like you do if you go to the north island any time near sunset. We would definitely stay here again!

The house was sparkling clean, spacious for 3 couples, kitchen had everything needed for meal prep, including a large griddle, baking dishes. Comfortable beds, appreciated the washer/dryer in unit too. Located in a nice area close to grocery store, and steps from beautiful beach!

The house was perfect with beach access right out the door! There were plenty of beach chairs and toys. House furnishings were comfortable and family friendly. I would definitely consider renting the property again.

We stayed at the property with three generations. It was a great house with lots of room to spread out and the location to the beach was great. We enjoyed our stay.

Nice place! Great beach!

Perfect for 3 couples,king size beds own bathroom for each room. There are stairs on stilts and more stairs to 2 more bedrooms.. one bed/bath on main floor. Our 80 year old parents loved sitting on back deck, rain or shine has a roof over it.we all enjoyed it to watch storms. Easy walk to ⛱. Can't wait to go back. Thank you

This property is stellar! It has everything you could want/need and then some. The rooms are spacious and the decor is inviting and homey. The property was spotless and very well appointed, not to mention steps from the beach where you can enjoy beautiful sunsets. In the kitchen you will find everything you would need to make anything you could think of ( blender, margarita maker, electric cutting knife, hand mixer, pots, pans, utensils, cups, bowls, baking sheets, and more) The property also offers: Beach towels Beach chairs Water games/activities Charcoal grill Fishing nets Playpen Beach tent The list is truly endless. The owners were always available and very welcoming/accommodating. We will definitely be back!

Easy to get to the beach, nice house would go again

We really enjoyed the house and the insane proximity to the beach. We spent most of our time on the porches or in the sand, and if this is your goal, this house is perfect for that. A couple of things in the listing are incorrect, so note that the laundry is not coin operated and there are no bicycles, which we were highly disappointed to find out once we got there. As it would have made our trip more fun. It was just two of us in the property and if we had filled up the bedrooms, I think it would have been difficult to fit everyone in the living area as it only seats 4 comfortably, and we would have had to eat each meal outside in order to sit together in this property. That wasn't an issue for us, but we chatted about how if we had come with everyone we wanted to, that this would have been a problem. There is a paddle board/kyack/wave runner rental within a 2 minute walk of this property and we took advantage of that! Which was an unexpected bonus. The owners are lovely people. I had to ask a few questions and there was a maintenance issue while we were there, and they were super accommodating and friendly through the entire experience. I'd say they are probably the nicest owners of a VRBO we have ever dealt with. The reason I am not giving this a full 5 star review is not because the house and owners were not great, it had to do with the cleanliness and usability of the kitchen. One of the reasons we stay in VRBO's is because I'm a celiac and eating out is a nightmare for me. The kitchen in this house was so cross contaminated and the utensils and pots and pans were not cleaned well from the prior occupant. Even after cleaning everything (including the insides of appliances) I still got sick and stayed sick the ENTIRE VISIT! So, if you're a celiac, I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PROPERTY! If you're not, then go for it. It was difficult to spend so much time in the bathroom on your birthday vacation because of this issue (and I did provide this information to the owner prior to arriving). I won't visit again due to this, but I can't say it's not a nice place to stay with nice owners.
