Lovely Stay

We had a truly delightful time in Fort Myers Beach! The beach was close, we picked up shells, we soaked in sunsets. The house was clean and clearly loved. Everything was in tip-top shape. Thank you!

Beautiful home & location

We loved our month in this beautiful home. Family & friends visited us during our stay & everyone felt at home & comfortable. There is lots of room for family to watch a movie together & plenty of other spaces for alone time too. The beach was great & only a short walk away. Hosts were very responsive to any questions or concerns we had. I would highly recommend this rental.

Fabulous rental

We had our family visit at Christmas. The adult kids stayed at this property. It was a higher end VRBO with many things for kids to keep busy. They raved about how comfortable the beds slept. The pool was great as well. The canal gave us many opportunities to see the wildlife. Melinda was a super host by answering any questions we had during the stay. We will for sure rebook for next time the ‘clan’ visits.

Perfection.

I don't have a single bad thing to say about this house and it's location. Our family has stayed in countless VRBO properties for vacations all across the US, and this may be our favorite yet! The little details and items included for use at this house is unmatched. If you think of a need, this house has it! The pool and ping pong table were wonderful additions and were frequently used. The beach was very walkable from this location. The island is still very much in post hurricane rebuild, but don't let this deter you! We had a wonderful vacation and the local economy could use the tourist income! Our family will see if this place is available every time we come to stay in the Fort Myers area!

It truly felt like a home away from home, making our stay all the more memorable. Your hospitality and responsiveness were exceptional, and we appreciate the effort you put into ensuring our stay was enjoyable. Thank you once again for sharing your beautiful property with us. We are leaving with memories and a appreciation for your hospitality. We look forward to the possibility of returning in the future and will certainly recommend your property to friends and family.
