We have just returned from a wonderful month-long vacation at this beautiful home in sunny Florida. The house is lovely, well-taken care and equipped with everything you need for your stay. The location could not be better...beaches, restaurants, stores are all close by and the gated-community is quiet and peaceful. The community pool and clubhouse are lovely and most days we were the only ones enjoying the facilities! The owners are great - they make sure that you enjoy your stay and are easy to contact should you need them. We would have been back again next year, but we fell so in love with the area and the weather, we actually purchased our own vacation home while we were there!Owner response: We would love to have these renters back, but they loved the area so much that they bought their own place!

Owner made things very easy with great communication. House was spacious, clean, well maintained inside & out. Plenty of towels, bedding etc. Kitchen was easy to work in. Computer hook up worked great. Having a washer & dryer--bring less clothes! House and yard were comfortable for dog. Only downside: no lanai or outdoor patio and no outdoor grill. Screen porch is small and basically enclosed by house--totally shaded. We sat in folding lawn chairs in the backyard. Pond offered great photo ops for birds, ducks, otters....great variety and very entertaining. Location was excellent--fruit/veg stand on corner of John Morris and MacGregor was a frequent stop. Also bought fishing bait there. Wonderful seafood, shrimp, scallops, lobster, crab meat, fish from Seafood truck on MacGregor across from Tanger Mall. Easy to get around to any type of shopping or sightseeing. Publix Grocery across from Tanger Mall on Summerlin. Proximity to Bunche Beach, Sanibel/Captiva, Ft Myers Beach was excellent. Never an issue. Loved the Sanibel Causeway beaches for sun and relaxation. Dog Beach on southern end of Ft Myers Beach by Lovers Key Park was wonderful and lots of fun watching the dogs. Lover Key Park is beautiful. Bunche Beach is absolutely wonderful...lots of trails for fishing and hiking, kayaking along the Calusa Blueway. Dolphin & manatee sightings when by the water. Even within a few feet of friends fishing boat! Shelling on Sanibel a definite must! I love shelling!!! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the location was just perfect for all our adventures. Would definitely recommend to others.Recommended for: Sightseeing, girls getaway, families with young children, pet owners, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.
Owner response: This review just about says it all.

We stayed there in September/October 2010 and were very pleased with the house. The property is clean, well maintained and equipped and even had an electric kettle for our morning tea which is an item not usually provided in holiday homes in the USA. There was a fault with the air conditioning when we arrived and the owner was quick to respond and got it repaired immediately which we appreciated. We know the area well and use "Busters" and "Starz" restaurants which are less than half a mile to walk. The food at Busters is very good and the restaurant is child friendly with various slot machines inside to keep small children occupied. There is a "Publix" a short drive away and a fresh fruit and veg stall less than half a mile from the house. The neighbours in the area are very friendly and love to stop and chat. The islands of Sanibel and Captiva with their lovely beaches are just a short distance to drive. Perhaps the one downside for some may be the lack of its own pool, but there is a nice pool and children's play area within the community which is just a short walk away. We have no hesitation in recommending this house as a holiday home.Recommended for: Sightseeing, girls getaway, families with young children, pet owners, age 55+.
Owner response: We have family who live in the UK, and a "must" is an electric tea kettle for morning tea when they come to stay with us. We had slight glitch with the A/C system where a breaker tripped and wouldn't reset. Fortunately, we have a service contract with a local A/C company and they had a tech out there right away on a Sunday no less. He was able to fix the problem while they were out shopping!

A spacious, well-maintained home featuring new appliances, a comfortable master suite with a large walk-in closet and shower area, and a nicely landscaped yard. The house layout provides privacy for guests. A special feature was the snowy egret who visited daily to our back door! The owner is very responsive and the people who let us in and out of the house were friendly and accomodated us for an early departure. The location is great for shopping, beaches and outdoor activities and we enjoyed the clubhouse pool.Recommended for: Sightseeing, pet owners, age 55+.

The listing was accurate,layout an anemities were sufficient.the property was clean and well maintained. Communication with the owner was very good.The proximity to Sanibel,Fort Myers Beach and Bunche Beach were very good,and quick to get to,we are talking minutes here. We enjoyed the fresh vegetables and fruit at the produce stand only a short walk away.I land fished, so I also bought my bait there. We would recommend this property to others. We enjoyed the sunsets at Bunche Beach,Fort Myers Beach and Sanibel,Captiva,fishing on the Piers, causeway bridges, and Creek at Bunche Beach.Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with young children, pet owners, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.

The house and heated community pool were wonderful - the house looks to be brand new, it was clean and well-appointed, lots of kitchen tools available. Birds near the lake and water views were interesting. Quick drive to Sanibel, outlet mall and grocery stores. We would return anytime and highly recommend this property to friends going to the Ft. Myers area.Recommended for: Sightseeing, people with disabilities, girls getaway, families with young children, age 55+.
