The view from this condo was absolutely breathtaking! The condo itself was also great. There was complete privacy on this 12th floor ocean front condo. The local area is very convenient too. There is a trolly that runs back and forth on the island every 20-30 minutes in both directions. You can actually stay here if you do not have a car. The trolly also goes a ways off the beach where you could get a local bus to go further distance. If you really want to sight see off the island you will need a rental car, but if you are just looking for a quiet and beautiful get away then no car is necessary. The trolly takes you to the grocery store, and the CVS pharmacy and many shops and restaurants are across the street. The pool is wonderful and it is heated. If you prefer the beach then just a quick walk and you are there. There you can find jet skis and parasailing available. Whatever you want - it is nearby.I highly recommend this condo!!

Mr. Randall Napper Adirondack Mts, New York Review Submitted April 11, 2012 Date of Stay March 31, 2012 My wife and I arrived 3/31/12 and the first impression upon turning into the complex is "Wow, the grounds are beautiful!" This is an ocean front facility and this condo is on the ocean side corner with unobstucted views of seven miles of beach, manacured lawns and wildlife area. Full sunsets right in front of you and if you look around the corner of your balcony you see the sun rise and great view of nice marina with beach shops and really good resturants just a few minutes walk from the condo. Everything you need is supplied. The king bed is really comfortable and the unit is clean and quiet. The pool area is very well maintained and everybody we met were friendly and helpful. We loved all our walks on the beach and felt the whole area was completely safe. I recommend this condo to anyone in need of a one bed place. Karen was most helpful and were so thankful we were able to stay here. We had an awsome time and would love to come back!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Don and Karen's Condo. It was conveniently located to shopping and restaurants and of course the beach. The weather was gorgeous and we understand that it was exceptionally warm for January.....and watching the sunsets every evening from the balcony was great. Look forward to another trip in the future.

Our stay in January 2012 was okay, but have stayed in better places in Ft Myers, FL

Guest: Deborah J.
Date of Stay: 01/11/12 Review Submitted: 01/28/12

The view was beautiful and the bed was very comfortable.Upon our arrival we found that the comforter looked old and very used, it was not the same one in the pictures posted. All but 1 towel was still wet, old and really stained. They should of been thrown out or used for rags. We had to wash and dry all the towels. I was grossed out by the shower curtain because it was orange on the inside from not being cleaned, or replaced. Both spare blankets in the closet were full of sand, we found out after we went to use them the first night after the sand ended all over the bed and on the floor. Vent in bathroom was filthy and black stuff was coming out of the air conditioner. I e-mailed the owners with these problems and they offered to come over the next day to address the issues. Don showed up the next day and cleaned the b/r vent and air conditioner, brought another comforter, the one in the picture in their post. They told me where to find a new shower curtain which we changed. Don told us that they don't check the blackets or extra sheets in the closet when they clean. As for the towels we washed them and used only a couple of the towels that were okay. I feel that they need to take more time cleaning the unit, check blankets and sheets in closet, replace old and stained towel for they do get wore out, plus who wants to use a stained towel, not me. Don was very nice and very apolgetic. I will never stay there again, because of the way we found the unit when we first arrived.

Owner response:Deborah, We have all new towels,washed everything in the condo, and are now working on a new kitchen design and makeover to be completed later this summer.

Wonderful! Matthew D. Smith Springport, MI Review Submitted December 24, 2011 Date of Stay December 15, 2011 Excellent! Phenominal view of the ocean. Clean and comfortable accomodations. Quiet end of Estero Beach. Probably the most relaxing last minute vacation we have ever had. Everyone in the condo buildings were exceptionally friendly and Don and Karen were wonderful to work with. We actually had the opportunity to meet both of them as we were checking out! Thanks for the great time. We will return! We started out without a car (and you could make that work with the trolley that runs up and down the street), but found that with a car we were able to make some day trips to Marco (Tiger Tail Beach-eat at Snook's--it's great), and then to Sanibel Island. About 40 minutes south of Estero, Naples has TONS of eating and shopping-so the car was nice at that point. Highly recommend this quiet, tranquil and beautiful condo! Matt and Marie from Michigan.

My brother and I have have been staying here for a few years now in a row. Love it, close to much. We don't touch the car much once we've arrived. You can walk to great restaurants (some on the beach, even), and stores, and even the marina across the street for leisurely boat rides or fishing charters. The unit itself is very clean, awesome view of the gulf, beach, and dolphins from the balcony! Perfect place for the beautiful Florida weather.

Beautiful Condo and location Kenneth Jang Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada Review Submitted October 2, 2011 Date of Stay September 24, 2011 We stayed for 1 week September 24-October 1, 2011 and had one of the best vacations. The condo is exactly as it was described, clean, comfortable, beautifully decorated and has everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The ocean view from the balcony was fantastic: miles of beach and the lagoon . There were all kinds of shore birds in the lagoon, Ibis, Herons, Spoonbills, and an osprey stayed on the balcony railing for quite some time! Dolphins often swam along the ocean which we can see from the balcony. Sunset watching was fantastic from the balcony as well. Wifi was available downstairs and made it all the more convenient. The FMB area afforded many things to see and do; and the condo location is close to everything. Thanks to Karen and Don for the opportunity to stay at this wonderful place; we'll certainly be back.

This was the most wonderfully relaxing week, we could not have asked for a better time. The view is incredible, the birds the dolphins and the beach; truly incredible. We enjoyed the quietness of the beach away from the hustle and bustle down near Times Square. We walked the beach and sat at the waters edge for hours on end. The condo was clean, neat and quiet. We sat on the Lanai and enjoyed both the sunrise and sunsets we had a view of both the gulf and the bay. We had everything we needed in the condo and what we didn't have Publix did. Thanks to Karen and Don for sharing their lovely condo! We look forward to coming back next July!

We are avid beach walkers and enjoyed morning and evening walks along the sandy beaches north and south of EBT, where we found lots of shells, sand dollars, and our first ever starfish ! We saw dolphins, stingrays, lots of birds and fish, especially enjoyed watching the birds catching the fish. Spectacular sunsets, from the beach or the 12th floor balcony. We really appreciated the furnished beach chairs and towels, but needed the umbrella, which we donated for the next visitors. We can't say much about the tennis courts, swimming pools, shopping centers, nightlife, or entertainment, because we don't know, what we do know is this place is truly a Beachcombers Delight !

This property delivers everything that it promises. A beautiful 12th floor waterfront view, easy access to beach walks where you can be accompanied by dolphins or can enjoy a convenient jaunt to restaurants and shops. The locals are extremely welcoming and we highly recommend the Thursday night Trivia game at the Holiday Inn. You won't want to miss the opportunity to bicycle from one end of the island to the other. Or, for those who are less motivated to exercise...opt to take the trolley for a quarter:)

In all the fun and entertainment my daughter managed to leave her favorite bathing suit top at the condo. We believe it was on the hook on the back of the bathroom door. Did it turn up between guest reservations? If so, I would be happy to send the money to mail it to us. Please let me know if it has been located. Again, thank you for your generosity and hospitality.

12th Floor Beauty Guest: grammyjo (Michigan) Date of Stay: July 25, 2010 Review Submitted: August 3, 2010 This is our family's second stay at Estero Beach & Tennis Club and specifically this condo. It has a beautiful view and wonderful balcony to have morning coffee and evening sunsets. The pool and beach are both equally stunning. My daughter and her friend loved the wildlife, especially the osprey and pelicans that glide by. Restaurants and shopping are close, and if you are adventurous, the trolley will take you down to the Times Square area and many more places to visit. The condo is just as beautiful as your pictures, and my daughter was amazed that every time she wondered if there was, say beach towels, noodles, chairs...you had it. So everything is there, you just have to come and enjoy. We are already making plans for next year!!

This is our family's second stay at Estero Beach & Tennis Club and specifically this condo. It has a beautiful view and wonderful balcony to have morning coffee and evening sunsets. The pool and beach are both equally stunning. My daughter and her friend loved the wildlife, especially the osprey and pelicans that glide by.

Rest and Relaxation, July 21, 2010 By Mary Anne Robinson (Dayton, Ohio USA) Incredible views. Clean, convenient and comfortable. Great bird watching, and I didn't think I like birds! This condo had chairs for beach, the "noodles" and rafts for the water, AND all the amenities of home. I absolutely love it!

Just what we needed, June 12, 2010 By Tracy and Rebecca (Lafayette, IN) Don and Karen, We both want to thank you for the wonderful experience and vacation. The condo was just lovely and the views, they speak for themselves. We met others that were staying in the area and had a great time. The residents are so friendly and it was so nice to have shopping and dining in such close proximity. We found a few places to eat we hadn't tried yet. The beach was wonderful, warm waters, lovely breezes and we were very lucky and had great weather our entire stay. We both enjoyed watching the sunrise, the dolphins swimming each morning and the gorgeous sunsets each night. Just breath taking. The condo was so nice and the beach chairs and other goodies were great. We also added to the collection so others could enjoy them too. We hope to return to SWFL later in the year and if we do get the opportunity, we are looking forward to staying at your place again. We both have given your information to our friends and expressed that they will love their stay as much as we loved ours. Thank you so much for your kindness and generousity. We are looking forward to our next relaxing time there.

Perfect view of the Gulf! Guest: Jodi Drinkard(Woodstock, GA) Date of Stay: May 18, 2010 Review Submitted: June 8, 2010 I was a little worried that this property wouldn't have a "picture perfect" view of the Gulf of Mexico. I was so HAPPY when I walked in the door. It's a stunning view of Fort Myers Beach, the Gulf and the sun setting over distant islands. The lanai also delivered a view of the back bay. Truly perfect. The 12th floor was fun! The only floor higher is the penthouse -- but the penthouse condos are exactly the same as all the others. Don't pay for a penthouse when you can have the 12th floor at a less expensive rate. This condo truly is TOPS! The owners have upgraded the bed, the couch, the furniture on the lanai, and even the stove/oven was brand new -- it was coming in the door at the same time I was! Can't get any better than that! Oh...and the bathroom is also upgraded. Very nice. My friend and I left beach chairs, an umbrella and umbrella anchor for future guests. You'll appreciate it. It was our own little "upgrade" to the condo for you to enjoy. Okay -- the guest books raved on and on about the "amazingly wonderful clock." It's pretty cool, I have to agree, but it doesn't come CLOSE to the view and convenience of this condo. Santini Plaza is right across the street (dining, shopping, a bank and even a marina where you can rent a pontoon boat -- right out your back door) and the beach is not crowded...beautiful...quiet...dreamlike. I'm a big "lanai girl." From there I could see dolphins, sunsets, spoonbills (and countless other birds), palm trees, distant parasailers and I could even hear the water carress the white sands of the beach. On the 12th floor! I thought that was pretty cool. This is the right place at the right price. Just book it...you'll love it!

Happy New Year 2010 Review submitted: February 1, 2010 Date of arrival: January 2, 2010 Dear Karen: Carmen and I had a wonderful stay at your condo. The property was clean and well-maintained as we expected. We thank you for your courteous e-mails with updated information necessary to confirm and enjoy our stay. The condo location was well within walking distance for shopping, eating and other entertainment activities. We had the opportunity to meet other couples that rented and some that reside in the Estero Beach and Tennis Club that were very friendly and shared kind and helpful experiences. I must honestly say the ocean view from your condo was just breath taking. We look forward to our next vacation and would highly recommend your condo to anyone looking for an enjoyable stay at Fort Myers Beach. Sincerely, Carmen & Tony
