This beautiful house is located on a very quiet cul-de-sac. It's close to Fort Myers beach in a great area. The owner came over and went through everything. Didn't have any problems. We would stay here again.

Beautiful home with everything you need. They have truly put thought into making sure they have everything you could possibly use. Everything from beach chairs to a shop vac for all the sand in your car. Would definitely stay again.

This is a nice getaway property. It’s so comfortable and family friendly.
I checked in on the 4th of July so the host was unable to check us in, which was perfect for my family because we don’t really like meeting the host unless it’s necessary. The house was beautiful and equipped with everything we needed for our week long stay! We were out a vacationing for most of the week so we didn’t spend a lot of time on the property. The house was clean and we had plenty of towels for after swimming and showering. The pool was perfect! The lot was well cut and the trees were very healthy and pleasant to look at. Jocelyn the host did pop up on day two to meet us and give us some pointers about the house. She was very nice and easy to communicate with. Our family enjoyed our stay and would recommend this property to anyone visiting the Fort Myers area. It was 8 minutes from the Fort Myers beach and Karl and Jocelyn had everything needed to enjoy a week on the beach.

Get away from winter up north
We had a great time in this wonderful home in Fort Myers! Check in was so easy with the Host meeting us at the house when we arrived. The home had everything we needed and the heated pool felt great throughout our month stay.

Florida stay
Very nice home and well stocked in sunny Florida. Pool could have used a vacuum on the floor and steps but water felt great on the 80 degree days. No cable so bring your fire stick.
Karl and Jocelyn are super hosts.

This is such a tasteful, well equipped and stocked home; all our creature comforts were amply taken care of! The home is located in a private, quiet neighborhood, but has many shopping options in either direction off the main road! The pond & nature area next door is home to an alligator, turtles, iguanas, ibis, & herons, which all can be viewed from the comfort of your chaise on the lanai! Karl is right across cul-de-sac should any questions arise and is happy to respond! Awesome rental home and our family had a wonderful time!

We rented this home because of location and the pool and spa. The owners live across the street and were there at check in. They informed us that the spa would not be heated separately from the pool so it never was hot enough to use. Disappointed as this is what we like to do in the evenings. Also the tv was antenna only and had no sport channels or news again disappointed 😞. We were also told in the instructions not to turn the air conditioning lower than 78. It was 87 the whole stay so it was warm in the house. The hot tub should not be advertised if they won't let you heat it to at least 98 degrees.

We have rented many properties. This is by far the best equipped and maintain property we have ever rented. We were a day late in arriving and Karl adjusted his schedule to be there when we arrived.

Great location
My husband and I vacation in FL twice a year. We enjoy relaxing in the hot tub and pool. The location is also perfect as I go to the beach each morning to walk. Perfect location to beach and many restaurants, groceries, etc.

We really enjoyed the convenience of the private pool. We’re were able to also enjoy some wild life around the property.
We met the owner when arriving. He welcomed us and gave us a summary of the rules and features, that was nice. The house is stuffed with everything one would need.
The location was perfect. Quiet place at the end of the street into a circle and close enough to a lot of stores and local landmarks. Great experience, would recommend it and would book it again without hesitation.

My family is very happy and pleased with our staying. The location is very good in a calm and beautiful neighborhood. The property is well maintained and managed and offered a very nice amount of comfort. Overall we could feel a good environment and take a wonderful time in family.

We had such an amazing time during our stay here. We absolutely loved this home. It was close to everything, and it had everything we needed. Loved the pool, the size of the rooms and the layout of the house. Karl was amazing, he was there to check us in and even let us check in early. We had an issue with the grill, and he came right over to take care of it. I recommend staying at this property for sure. It is on a very quiet street which was just what we were looking for. Loved seeing all the wildlife around the property. We cannot wait to come back.

In a real estate purchase, it's said to look for just three major attractions: Location, Location, and Location. This vacation property hits all three attractions, then adds the bonuses of both roominess inside and (ta-da!) a caged pool outside. Candidly, we spent the bulk of our time gathered around the pool, being lazy, and taking advantage of Florida's pre-summer swelter. But when we wanted to go somewhere, whatever we wanted was just around a corner. Beach? Check! Stores? Double-check! Utter privacy? Triple-check!
The house is easy to get to, at the end of a cul-de-sac, and backs up to a pond/mini lake. All this adds to a sense of solitude despite "everything" just down the street. Literally, nights were utterly black, quiet, and peaceful. The interior was spotless; the amenities were plentiful and useful; and the owners available when needed (as when the neighborhood inexplicably lost power for a few hours). And as an awesome bonus, there was a half-bath off of the pool -- we could take a break without trekking through the house!
Our two recommendations: [a] Change the batteries in the garage door opener; and [b] let us know where we can buy that stunning butterfly beach towel in the second bathroom. The wife coveted it and "owned" it during our stay, then mourned having to return it to its rightful place. The husband would get major brownie-points if he could find one for her...

Awesome stay!
My sister, boyfriend, and I took a trip to Fort Myers. We found this home and loved it! To our surprise when we got there it was even further renovated than the pictures and looks beautiful inside! The pool was great and everything was super clean. We loved how close everything was to the house. Our car ride to the beach and nearby restaurants were all less than 10 minutes. Karl was helpful and answered any questions I had pretty quickly! We would definitely go back again!

Great clean vacation home
Our family enjoy our relaxing vacation mostly spending time around the pool. Kids enjoyed having the alligator to watch in the near by pond. Kids felt safe of course being in the enclosed fence but still very close to alligator watching.
Home was very clean and had all the appliances and extra bedding and towels which was very helpful with 4 kids. 😁
I would recommend this home to anyone!

Beautiful house
The house is awesome. It was cool to see the alligator in the pond out back. Don’t worry, it’s fenced in and the alligator seems very shy. Well maintained property and a very nice, big yard!

Peace and quiet, Paradise & Location
Awesome!! This was our first time in Fort Myers, FL. So my wife and I had no Ideas what to do, where to go, what to see Etc. The owner of the property is very knowledgeable & accessible, for any questions or needs. The property is very nicely located for whatever you would like to do. Relatively close to the airport within a couple of miles from several nice beaches, very close to shopping, groceries, eating out Etc. Karl, is a great handyman as well. I had a mechanical issue on my trailer that I was towing and Karl walked me to the finish line and resolved my issue. Great Place, Great location for year around visiting of Fort Myers, Great property owners. The swimming pool area has some very unique amenities, Gas Grill, swimming toy storage area with plenty of floaties & toys for adults and children, the bathroom and changing area rocks. No tracking through the house for going bathroom breaks, great for adults and children. The Kitchen, bedrooms, walk in closet, bathrooms, washer & dryer area, 2- Livingroom areas, books, games Etc Etc. had everything you needed for a hassle free vacation. We had an all-around Great place to stay and a Great vacation. Thank you Karl, you’re the Best, we will definitely be back to stay longer. Karen and Rod.

Great home & central location
Very nice accommodations & Karl is very helpful. Would stay here again! Our weather was a little chilly so figuring out how to increase the temps on the hot tub was a little tricky but the lanai makes it a nice way to enjoy the outdoor amenities. The home was clean and set up to enjoy relaxing here and conveniently located to exploring Fort Myers.

Couldn’t use pool
The entire reason I picked this property was because it had a private pool and hot tub. The pool was freezing cold and The hot tub was Luke warm and only Luke warm from 8 till 11. There was also no internet service. The owners only response was that he paid for internet service. We arrived at 4 pm and promptly left the next morning and the owner only wanted to refund a small portion of the amount paid. This property was a complete rip off.

Property as described, in a nice neighborhood close to stores
The property is as described on the Vrbo site and very spacious. It really is a gorgeous, spacious home and we are sure anyone would be happy with it. It's in a very nice subdivision with no neighbors behind you. There's a large screened in patio with a heated pool and jacuzzi. It's also very close to Publix (grocery store) and Walmart.
If you like watching TV, bring your Amazon Fire Stick or streaming device as the TVs in the home are not smart TVs and there is no cable. There is a blue-ray player.
We can't fully rate the property because we only stayed in the house one night out of seven. Unfortunately, there was a huge leak the night before check-in (the water line broke when they put the new fridge in) causing an awful mildew odor, resulting in us having to relocate the next day to another property owned by Karl and Jocelyn.
Note: Once we relocated to the other property, they did take immediate action to remove the carpet and eliminate the odor, so we are sure anyone renting the property after this point will be pleased.
Karl and Jocelyn did move us to another property the next day, but the second property did not have the same amenities, which reduced the value of the price we had paid for the original property.
Karl and Jocelyn are very responsive and live two houses over from the property so they are close by should you need anything at all.

4 1/2 Stars - Beautiful Home and Perfect Location
The home is a wonderful place to stay; clean, well maintained and the perfect location if you don't care to stay at the beach but want to be close.
The house has lots of space, the furniture is clean and comfortable, and the kitchen is well appointed The pool is very nice with an assortment of pool toys on hand.
The reasons I didn't do 5 stars are
- as others have mentioned, I think the house has an antennae and with the weather we only had 1 local channel. Not a big deal with technology today but the wifi bandwidth was about 15 to 25 mbps and sometimes struggled to keep up with three streaming devices
- the hot tub was the same temp as the pool. my daughter was bummed but I didn't care enough to ask for it to be fixed
- the grill needs a tank of gas. i would have loved to have used it but i didn't feel like going to a hardware store and messing with on vacation
- the fridge quit and I lost my groceries. i was given a temporary replacement in the garage that was a little inconvenient but manageable. You may want to confirm this has been replaced
Karl was accommodating with an early check in and last minute extended stay. Although I didn't do 5 stars I would definitely stay here again without hesitation. I hope you find this review helpful.
