Great place to stay: this was our second year there. Loved relaxing by the heated pool overlooking the canal and watching sunsets from our deck. The beach was just a short walk across the street and we brought our bikes so could bike everywhere and avoid the traffic. Also, The owner was very attentive at taking care of any issues or needs that came up.
Everything was great. I wish they would have had more wash cloths. I went out and bought more because there was only 2 per bathroom. Enjoyed the pool area and apartment. Talking about bringing kids and grandkids in future.

Property was clean and well-maintained. Met the owner, Yvonne, the first day! She was very kind and made sure we had everything we needed! Location is very close to the Fort Myers Trolley strops. Pool was skimmed every evening. Property offers spectacular sunset views from the deck! If you're looking for a quiet place to stay I would highly recommend this property!!

The condo was just ad expected and had all the essentials we needed. The pool on the canal was breathtaking every night with all the lights glistening on the water. In the morning I sat on the front deck with my coffee and watched the waves on the Gulf of Mexico. We even stayed 4 extra nights. Thank you for the great experience. Definitely a 5 🌟!Sandy Drees

Reviewer Comments:
We enjoyed a week in this wonderful home. The apartment was clean as well as the laundry and pool area. We appreciated the initial stocking of supplies, pool towels, beach chairs, umbrella, and wagon. We enjoyedMorning coffee on the patio overlooking the canal and watching the sunrise and the evening sunset on the back patio. The short walk to the beach is convenient. The property management office was helpful, checked in to see if our stay was going well. It’s also nice to see the owner on the property checking, attending to any necessary business.
The property was very clean and well represented. We had the complex to ourselves for a few nights which was really nice, it started to fill in toward the weekend and did feel a bit busy. I don't think I would have liked to have been on the first floor with other people staying there. The pool is awesome, well maintained and a great temperature. Being on the canal was nice, however I would have traded it to be on the beach instead seeing as my stepson didn't use it for fishing as much as I thought he would. Getting to the beach is a bit of a hike. You have to go down a block either way to get access and then the beach itself is quite the distance to the water. Construction around the property was expected, but did make it seem less "vacationey". Overall good, but for a short stay would opt to pay more for a spot directly on the sand.

Loved our apartment & our 3 weeks there went by too fast! Our 2 bed /2 bath unit was was bright, clean and spacious, with comfy king beds & roomy dressers/closets, and a kitchen with all the necessities to prepare meals. Loved our morning coffee on the sunny deck , afternoons in & around the heated pool, walks on the beach (across the street), and cocktail hour sunsets. A plus was the owner's in-person attentiveness when needed.
