Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2001
Why the Owner Chose Private Homes, Mid Island
We fell in love with Fort Myers Beach 13 years ago while vacationing with our new baby.
So friendly and laid back. It's a t-shirt and flip flop kind of place with a slower pace.
Great white sugar sand beach that you can walk for miles. Easy access all up and down the islamd, not like Sanibel where you can hardly get to the beach for all the condos.
The Unique Benefits of this Large Family Home
Sun Castle just has truly great family vibes about it. We felt that the moment we saw it.
It has tons of space so everyone can be by themselves and large gathering areas when you want to be together. The beach is really an easy 2 minute walk and the cart holds chairs, cooler and umbrella easily. We love to BBQ and relax in the pool.

We had a terrific vacation at your place and I wanted to let you know that we found your home to be our home away from home. It was so great to have so many beach toys for the baby and such a spacious house. The cleaning staff is great and it was so appreciative to go into a clean, neat well furnished home.
