April 2025 (Stayed with kids)
Our family of 7 loved our time here. The host had thought of everything like extra beach towels, chairs, sand toys, wagons, and more. We enjoyed the ping pong and the pool the most. The space was so beautifully decorated. We loved how close the house was to the local grocery store and to the restaurants. The place itself was super clean and had items for our baby (pack n play and high chair) so that was great for us as well. What an incredible experience.

We stayed at this apartment for 6 nights with 4 adults and 2 children and it was perfect for us! The inside is very open and clean. Has all the amenities you could need. You have 2 furnished balconies to yourself and a fantastic heated pool to share with the other units. We usually had the pool to ourselves. Has onsite laundry and all the equipment you need to take to the beach. In walking distance to all the action on Estero beach and the awesome restaurants. Will definitely recommend this apartment to friends traveling to Fort Myers Beach.
I would stay here again. Close to island tram that will take you to all restaurants, and beach is a block away. Lots of extras that made the place the best I have stayed on the Gulf.

A hidden gem
We stayed at this property for a Memorial Day Weekend with another family and the place was just like in the pictures. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the living room was the perfect place to have a movie night with our kids, the pool in the property was amazing and we were able to use their gas grill for a nice dinner. The place was a short 5min. walk to the beach, and a short drive to all the local restaurants, bars and shops! Can't wait to stay here again! Thank you!

Beautiful condo - limited beach access.
The condo is amazing. Large, clean, beautiful pool, and close to the beach. Our beach access was shut down due to construction on the beach - I wish we had known that. We drove to another beach. Traffic in the area is really bad. But the condo itself was perfect.

Quick getaway
The property is true to the pictures shown. Very clean! There were plenty of beach chairs, coolers, toys, etc available for use. It is within walking distance to the beach (but you do need to cross the main road if your hands are full). I would definitely stay at this property again!
