Great stay

This house was perfect. Loved the location on Mid Island. Close enough to Times Square, close enough to Publix. Easy walk to beach (we did several times per day). Would definitely stay here again.

Cute, clean, cozy

Perfect little house for a girls weekend getaway. The owners have done a marvelous job Renovating this cute little house. Fully stocked with all the amenities needed for a beach getaway. It was exceptionally nice to have beach chairs and an umbrella available for our seven minute walk to the beach, which is only a block away . Would highly recommend this little getaway.

Beach Wedding

Came down for a friend’s beach wedding. Neighborhood was quiet and about 1-1.5 miles from Times Square. The house was great and had everything you needed and even a beach cart with chairs and umbrella for the short 1-2 blocks to the beach.

Great Place to Unwind!

The property was very clean and comfortable and its location was perfect. It was just a short walk to the beach and within walking distance to the grocery store. It was nice to be able to eat in the screened in patio! The beach chairs and umbrella were in good condition and it was nice to have beach towels so we did not need to pack them. The check in was very simple and the host was very responsive when I asked for an early check-in time. Overall, I would highly recommend this property!

Winter break

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful house all redone and all new fixtures. Very comfortable,great kitchen, nice amenities, super screened in porch just a block from the beach on a very quiet street. I gave 4 starts for location only because there was a vacant house on the street. As they are still building up from hurricane Ian. Overall great stay I would highly recommend

Feels like home with easy beach access

This house gave us an “at home” feeling. Completely remodeled with new appliances and, we believe, new furniture. Photos are accurate. Bed is very comfortable. Showers have same tile as our own newly remodeled shower at home. Just like a “new move-in.” Short walk (10 minutes or less) to beautiful beach. Beach wagon with chairs and beach umbrella included. Extremely fast (most likely fiber optic cable) internet service. When you visit, please remember that Fort Myers Beach is still recovering from 2022 Hurricane Ian, but the beach has been restored and is truly magnificent. We wanted to extend our stay and hope we can return.

TLDR: You will love this property!!!

This is a wonderful house with tons of space, excellent amenities, and is truly a 3 minute “easy” walk to the beach. Fort Myers beach is coming back quickly! While there is still more to come, the beach was fantastic! It was a .8 mile (15 minute ) walk to Publix and there is a really cool bar and grill right behind Publix called Junkanoo. Great food! The house had pretty much everything we needed and we were sure to grab groceries and some extras on the way in. Otherwise, all cooking and kitchen utensils are provided. The owner was very responsive! There are essentials for going to the beach including a wagon, chairs, cooler, umbrella, beach towels, and we left some beach toys behind. I would highly recommend this property and can’t wait to come back!!

What an amazing first experience with a house.

The communication was timely. The house has been redone and is beautiful. It was furnished with everything you need. Even has beach towels, and a wagon complete with chairs and an umbrella! It was a 3-minute walk to a beautiful white sands beach. The owners are very friendly and attentive to whatever questions or needs you have. We would definitely stay here again.
