Nice and peaceful oasis!
Our rental was clean and quiet. Enjoyed our stay while in Fort Myers Beach. Correspondence with property owner was quick and courteous! They only suggestion I have in regards to kitchen supplies is that it includes a gallon pitcher.

Easy stay
We booked last minute and had a wonderful stay. It was very clean, had an easy check in and check out process, fabulous updated shower.
Some things that would make it even better…hooks in the bathroom for wet towels, open shelf in the kitchen for food storage, tv in bedroom and an extra set of pillows in the closet for the hide-a-bed.

Updated, clean, cozy and close to beach
This property is updated and clean. It is small but nice. The shower (ahh) is the best! The location is perfect because it is mid island and it is back off the main road so it is quiet. Even though we brought our own beach chairs, they have beach chairs, umbrellas and a wagon to carry things to the beach if needed. It is within walking distance of shops and restaurants and there is a tram to ride to Times Square if you do not want to walk the 3 or so miles. We thoughly enjoyed our time!

Wonderful vacation spot but horrible traffic!
We loved the location but were unable to see anything unless we walked. The traffic was so bad that we only ate at one place on Estero Blvd that we could walk to. The weather was perfect and this unit was a 5 minute walk to the beach which was great! Would have loved a TV in the bedroom and a functioning ice machine in the freezer. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay.
