This spot feels like a hidden gem. Just across Estero Boulevard from the beach, it's quiet yet close to everything. The space is simple but comfortable, with a lanai porch that's perfect for relaxing after a day in the sun. Ideal for a low-key beach escape.

Disappointing

For the price I was hoping for a better quality bed and pillows. I was unable to sleep on the bed because it was hard as a rock. The pillows were flat. Sleeping on the couch was better. The pullout bed from the couch was also super uncomfortable (like most pullout beds).

the hobbit hole was a disappointment.

We were informed a week before our reservation that there was an issue with our rental and they would have to move us to another unit. This unit was sold to me as a brand new remodel, also the renting agent was not willing to give any discounts for the inconvenience however she did confirm it would be ok to check in early. witch we discussed via phone that it would be ok to come in 12 hrs earlier. all sounded good. showed up to rental about 10 hrs early and it was very unmarked. found and got in unit to find. no interior door knob's. very dirty and dusty with construction debris. tools and supplies left on porch and bathroom. outlets not secured. shower floor drain not secured. chair moldings incomplete protruding from the walls. paint unfinished. half a roll of toilet paper. odor in bathroom when fan was on. musty mold smell in witch kinda took your breath away. all this aside. we got inside cleaned up a bit and layed down to rest after a 20 hr drive. i was woke up by a man entering the rental and yelling from the main room. i got up to find a dude standing in the main room of the rental. asking who i was. apparently my early check in was not communicated with all party's envolved. he gave me the second key for the rental and left. they sent someone to "finish up"the place that day around 2. all that was done was two door knobs were installed. they then asked if they could come back to keep working on the place. i denied. went a bought toilet paper. and delt with the hobbit hole of a rental. beware of coastal breeze rentals. when i asked for compensation they credited me one night and proceeded to imply that i fabricated the pictures.

The apartment was simple but comfortable. Great for the two of us and the dogs. Beach access at the end of the street. Convenient mid-island location. We enjoyed out stay.
