Nice weather
There were issues; TV cable box needed replacing, two toilets needed to be fixed and water would constantly turn off. The owner delt with these relatively quickly. Dishwasher wouldn't work and he told me things to try and didn't replace for a month.He has interesting things but everything is very dated. Livingroom furniture should be replaced.The building is lovely and the people we met were great. The building did lots of fun get togethers. Location easy to get anywhere. We had a good time but spent as little time as possible in unit.

Alta Mar - lovely; Condo - not so much
The Alta Mar experience is heavenly, from the property itself, its location, to the staff and residents. We were welcomed by all.
You'll notice that this review is a year late. That is because we tried to resolve a rental deposit with the owner, for March 2023, privately. Dan will communicate with you when he's interested in getting information. He has not returned our calls or emails about the above-mentioned issue. Yes, although we had problems, we did intend to rent again, because the resort itself is so wonderful.
The condo is filled with the owner's items. The sofa is not as pictured - it is an old thing which we never even sat on. There is extra furniture on the balcony and in the bedrooms. The beds, though, were very clean and comfortable.
The condo was not clean.
My husband re-cleaned the balcony windows because they were badly streaked.
There was mold under the bathmat in the main bathroom.
There was hair in the tub in the 2nd bath and in the vanity drawers.
The carpets had not been cleaned between tenants and were filthy.
The vacuum cleaner bag was so full that I'm amazed it did not burst.
There were no basic supplies in the property: no toilet paper, paper towels, or cleaning supplies. We've been visiting Florida for 17 years. This is the first time we did not have "starter items" of basic supplies.
Other than the carpets, we took care of these issues. We took care of the property as if it were our own.
If you're not concerned about cleanliness, or if you'd like to clean the condo yourself as we did, feel free to rent.

BEWARE OF HOST!!!!
This host knows that he can charge up to $1000. on damages and if you look at his reviews you will see he will do this. The condo was dirty when we arrived, garbage disposal did not work and patio door wouldn’t lock. You have to make your own keys to get in and he expects you to return them then accuses you they are not the right ones. He said that we damaged the “plate “ at the bottom of the patio door and had to replace the whole door. Then said the vent on the dryer was secured by a rubber band. He had someone move into the condo 3 hours after we left. Furniture is old and uncomfortable. Towels had to be washed before you could use them. The area is nice but the host cannot be trusted. Please read all reviews!!! Think twice before renting this.

Mixed Experience
My husband and I stayed in this unit Feb 1 to March 16, 2020. We were booked until March 31, but had to return to Canada due to the pandemic. Our experience was mixed; and after much deliberation, we felt it was important to share our experience with prospective renters.
Alta Mar complex is clean and well maintained with great facilities. The residents (both full and part-time) are very friendly, welcoming and inclusive. The unit itself is well laid out with plenty of room for two couples. The complex is within easy walking distance to downtown Fort Myers and has a free tourist trolley stop right in front of the complex.
Unfortunately, the unit had not been cleaned prior to our arrival except for the bedding and towels. We notified the owner immediately as we did not want him to be paying for a service he did not receive. Instead, he failed to believe us. We sent him various pictures as examples. Again he chose to believe the cleaners. I spent several days cleaning the unit. We did not bother to inform the owner that the patio screen was ripped top to bottom and one side of the toaster did not function.
When we were forced to leave early to return to Canada, the owner was not willing to refund any portion of the payment we were losing even though the condo was available for rent on VRBO a couple of days later. As we had to self-isolate when we returned home, we were not able to mail the key for two weeks. The owner received the key on April 6. However, he did not mail the damage deposit to us until April 25th, and only after several eMails from us. This caused a lot of anxiety.

Penthouse views
Condo was very well furnishef with everything we needed including beach chairs and beach towels. This is a very nice condo and the location is great. The residents in the building were very friendly. We saw dolphins in the river every day. View from the balcony was awesome morning, noon and especially sunset.

Amazing stay!
I stayed a month here. Wonderful location and the apartment is dreamy. Sitting on the balcony watching the sunsets was my favorite part! The apartment is so spacious and the amenities are great! The owner is so friendly and responds very quickly!

Property had prior furniture wear issues; Owner arbitrarily deducted from Deposit.
My wife and I were the last renters. We are retirees in our early 70s who used this condo for 2 months while we researched and purchased a new retirement home in the Ft Myers area to be near our grand-children.
We were very committed to careful handling of the Owner's furnishings. We took pictures on Day 1 especially of wear spots on furniture and walls; but kept them for our files only. Wish now we had complained early; but we felt we could roll with living conditions since we expected to buy a new home within 60 days.
OWNER charged us with "some wear" on a sofa during our 2 month stay and withheld 40% of our Deposit. OWNER stopped all communications ..... text messaging and phone calls. Through our many follow-up text messages and phone calls, we sent photo evidence of the prior wear ...... with no acknowledgement or response.
Our Advice:
Use caution; take pictures and secure early direct acknowledgement from this Absentee OWNER ....who relies on 3rd party inspections only from a local firm when assessing damage and monies that are arbitrarily withheld from the Deposit.
