We enjoyed our stay in paradise very much. The house was beautiful and supplied with everything we needed to make us feel at home. The location was great---a short walk to a beautiful beach with great shelling! A nice grocery store, pharmacy, hair salon, and restaurants were just a short drive. The pool and decks/patio offered a variety of outdoor space. The only negative would be if you have an issue with stairs---up to the house and down to the pool. It was really nice that we could bring our two small dogs. Highly recommended!!

We rented this house for our family vacation and it was the best vacation ever. It was way more than we expected. The owners have been a pleasure to deal with. We loved fishing in the canal, swimming in the pool, and the beach was a short walk away! Parasailing is a must! My 14 and 4 year old loved it. Good Time Charters has a very reasonable Dolphin and shelling tour, they also have a fun Everglades adventure with an airboat ride! We rented a boat at Snook Bight Marina for the day and that was very relaxing and fun. Sanibel Island is also a great way to spend the day! I would recommend this house to anyone! It's beautiful, great location and very clean! The sunrise over the bay off the deck is also a must! Thank you so much for renting us your house for the week. The only disappointing thing about the house was leaving it! We will definitely be back next year! :)

Welcome to Paradise Place

Our stay at The Paradise Place was "AMAZING"!!! We felt like We were at home! It is VERY CLEAN and Maintained!! The Kitchen had everything you need. The wrap around deck is great, and the GRILL in my husbands favorite! The pool was great :) and overlooks the canel.. 10 min walk to Ft. Myers Beach is great and clean :) And Publix grocery store just a mile up the road.. 7- eleven is walking distance. I enjoyed waking up for the sunrise's @ 7 a.m. and a nice morning walk on the beach! And you can cut through the parking lot at Outrigger's.. Very quiet Neighborhood was great and peaceful. If you want to take a drive to other area's there not far away :) I would have to say for shelling Santibel/Captiva area they do charge $6.00 to get on the island and $2.00 for parking per hr! but well worth it.. Fort Myers Beach is great for hangin around.. Great Restaurants within a few miles may I suggest 2 of them : The Beached Whale and Nervous Nellies :) We left a business card for those who would like to cab it for an evening, traffic gets kind of congested in the evening and they charge a flat fee :) If you want to take a morning cruise/Buffet or a Evening cruise check out The Big M Casino for more information. We left a coupon in the drawer on refrig side farthest drawer has alot of information in it.. but can be used with 4 people per coupon. Found coupons and Brochures at information center at Time Square and is also a fun place to walk around. Lots of shops :))) I hope I gave you enough info :) We definitely will be back again soon!! :))

We stayed at Paradise Place for a week at the end of March. The home is VERY well maintained - nice sized bedrooms/bathrooms and VERY clean. The best features of the home are the wrap-around porch and the pool. It was so quiet and peaceful - we would definitely stay again.

We stayed at Paradise Place for a week in March and had a wonderful time. The wrap around porch is a huge plus. We had the slidders open our entire stay and had no need for the A/C! The house is located on a quiet cul de sac with a short walk to the beach. The pool is beautiful too! The house is well stocked with anything you might need!

A Good Family Beach House

Guest: Judy (Massachusetts)
Date of Stay: 02/26/11 Review Submitted: 04/01/11

We stayed here for 3 weeks in March 2011. This home is a comfortable family beach house. Using the pool was a treat after a day at the beach. We spent a lot of our time on the wrap-around screened porch where we read, ate breakfast, grilled and had dinner on the dining table. The 3 bedrooms are generously sized and the TV room is comfortable for a group of people. The pool/patio area is screened in which was great for our dog. It's only a 10 minute walk to the beach from this home and only a 10 minute drive to Doggy Beach, where we went every day with our Poodle. Santini Plaza is fun for shopping with great restaurants for breakfast and dinner. The owners were very attentive to our questions and the home was very clean. It's at the end of a cul de sac, so there is virtually no traffic on the street. We would recommend this home to families and families with a dog.

What a wonderful house! A great place for kids, dogs and adults with lots of activities close by. We especially appreciated the dog area and the dock. For those with boats, very easy access to the waterway. Beautiful pool. Wonderful owners also. Can't wait to stay here again!

Paradise Place is great, everything you need. Nathalie also has a portable crib and highchair, which was nice not having to bring that stuff with us. The location of the house is really nice. Just far enough away from busy Estero, yet convenient to the beach, restaurants, grocery store. Nathalie is great to work with and she responds very promptly to any questions you may have. We will definitely stay there again. Thank you!

Wow, as soon as we walked into "Paradise Place" we felt at home. The House is great, the screened-in wrap around porch is awesome ~ spent alot of time out there and didn't have to worry about the bugs. The pool is wonderful. My boys loved swimming everyday~fishing out back in the evenings. Nathalie is great to work with~she is quick to respond to any problem. Can't wait till next year!

Huge Pool.Real nice views of the Bay. We watched flocks of Pelicans fly around Mangrove Islands from the Living Room. Waterfront on a canal with just a short walk to the Beach.This Home is much nicer than the pictures. This was our 2nd stay. We will be back. It`s on a quiet street but close to to everything. CVS a few blocks South. Publix less than a mile North. Lots of Good Shops & Restaurants nearby, many of them Pet Friendly. Skyes is Good for breakfast & lunch. Nervous Nellies was excellent for lunch & dinner, Both Pet Friendly.Sanibel Island & Naples make Great Day Trips, Again many Pet Friendly shops & Restaurants. The Sanibel Island Chamber of Commerce was very helpful. We would recommend this Home to Lovers, all Families with young or older kids.There is as Much or as Little as You want to Do. Para-sailing, jet skis, Air boat tours of the Everglades,Great Beaches, Shelling, Bird Watching, Kayaking, Boating, Fishing, Shopping & Good Food.

Paradise is the appropriate name for this residence. The pool, the deck, the wildlife in the canal,and the short comute to the beach made for a spectacular vacation. The dog friendly beach was a definite plus for our family. We will definetly return to Paradise! Thanks for your hospitality and we will see you soon.

What a wonderful time we had at Paradise!! The house was perfect, could not have asked for better. It was so nice to be able to sleep late and relax by the pool or take a short walk to the pet friendly beach. My dog Scooter was in heaven, he loves the water. We have rented houses in the past, my regards to to your property managers, the house was spotless. We are looking forward to another week in "Paradise" in the future. Nathalie, thank you so much for a wonderful vacation. Sincerely, Greg

We stayed at Paradise Place in April 2009 for a week and had a great time The property was just wonderful and in a fantastic location, close to the beach and some handy shops and little cafes - just lovely. We were staying with our 15 month old little girl and the lay out was excellent both inside and out - with the wrap around deck she was able to run around in safety with no fear of her getting to close to the pool - we will be looking to visit again!!! We Loved it.

We spent mornings on the deck drinking coffee and looking at the bay and many afternoons and evenings relaxing in the pool. We were so happy to bring Murphy, the family Airdale.
