Great place for every age!

It was a very fun and easy place to plant ourselves for a fun vacation on Ft Myers Beach.Among so many great aspects of the rental, the grandchildren loved the pool. The parents enjoyed some quiet time hiding away on the porch. And grandma loved the coffee bar and comfortable bed. Walking to the beach was easy and had a great sand bar that the kids loved exploring. There was construction nearby, but the little boys LOVED watching all the digging and dumping. When the grill wouldn't work, they arrived same day (Sunday) with a new one.Great communication and a great place for a vacation!

Very nice get away

A couple issues upon check in, everything was handled even on a Sunday. Very clean home. Short walk to beach, several sand bars during low tide. Very good shelling. Just an enjoyable time.

Spring Break 2024

We loved our stay at the FishBowl Upper! It had everything our family of 5 needed: pool, plenty of sleeping space, living space and the large screened in porch. It was also right across from the beach which allowed us to hit either the pool or the beach whenever we wanted. Communication with the property manager was easy and I always received a quick response. I did rate cleanliness 4 instead of 5 due to a few issues upon checkin. It didn't mar our stay at all but was worth noting and I did report to the property manager who did quickly respond. If we make it back to FMB, we will look to stay at the FishBowl if it's available.

Nice place!

Large place, we had 9 people (4 adults and 5 kids) and all fit comfortably. Plenty of parking space. Short walk to the beach, beach wagon provided. There was an extra fridge downstairs which was helpful for all our food and drinks. The pool is much smaller than it appears online but the kids enjoyed it. The power button on the dryer looks like it's on its last leg but I got it to work after fiddling with it for a while. We had a fuse issue while using a blow dyer in the bathroom and we locked ourselves out of the storage room downstairs but both times management was quick to respond. Only complaint is there's no vacuum cleaner! We swept up sand and crumbs with a broom but a vacuum would be nice for the area rugs.

Wonderful location.

The Fishbowl offers wonderful space, location, pool and all the items you would want in a vacation rental! You are right across the street from beach access 15. At sunset local neighbors play their conch shells to end your beach day. It was such a fun event. The Fishbowl has 2 beds on one floor then the primary suite a floor up. It was a wonderful rental. Thank you!

Very pleased!

Traveled with my mom and 2 children for a quick getaway. The kids were beyond thrilled with the bunk beds, we had plenty of space, loved breakfast on the screened in balcony, and the pool was perfect for quick dips before or after spending the day at the beach. Everything we needed for the beach was provided, although the beach wagon is in serious need of some new wheels. Only other complaint, which is very minor, is the lack of a decent frying pan/pot. The ones provided are terrible. Overall, I would definitely stay here again! Cute spot super close to the beach!

Wonderful stay

We loved the location- less than a 5 minute walk to a nice beach, 15 minutes to Publix, 5 minutes to the trolley stop. Didn’t feel like we needed to rent a van for the whole trip! We loved having the cart, beach chairs, and umbrella ready fir us to use. The house was lovely and beds were very comfortable. I loved having our own laundry as well. The Lanai was great for lazy afternoon reading and the kids loved eating breakfast out there. We plan to be back next year! Thank you

Wonderful Stay

Clean and beautiful rental property. Walking distance to beach. Kids enjoyed the bunk room. Pool area was like a beach oasis. Linda was great at answering questions we had and even stocked our kitchen with food before we got there. Would definitely recommend the fishbowl upper for your next family vacation. Only thing I would recommend is renting a car, bikes or golf cart to get around island as trolley is not reliable. 😊

Awesome rental! Excellent property and super clean. Would stay here again.

Our family had booked somewhere else that was falsely advertised. We were able to book this rental the day of in order to move locations. The owner was extremely flexible and accommodating. The property was fantastic. The pool was beautiful and well maintained. We had a great experience. The house was clean. We would definitely rent here again.
