  cute little home comfortable for 2 couples. the home has new tile floors and new furniture. just bring some food and drinks and relax. it is just far enough from downtown that you wont have a bunch of people on the beach in front of the house, but also just far enough for a nice walk to downtown for dinner or shopping. the property and the beach is very pet friendly along with a dog beach that looked tons of fun just south of the property. a full trip on jet skis around the island was approximately 15 miles, the canal side has some beautiful properties and land to look at. a canoe rental in the canal would also be a good day. we have stayed here before and will do again. every restaurant that we have tried from $20-$150 have all been excellent. there is a terrific outlet mall a few minutes north, you will need your walking shoes for that adventure. "shelling" is very good here. dealing with the property owner Tricia, is a breeze. she is very prompt on email responses, we had last minute discussions on the phone as well. rent this property worry free. Thanks for everything Tricia. The Palmers

  It's not often that you are lucky enough to find a vacation rental house that turns out to be as great as the description, reviews and pictures promote it to be. This particular property is the exception. It is the perfect beach rental! Not only is it located in an ideal area, but it is also clean, modern and beautifully decorated. Oh, and did I say that it comes equipped with everything you'd ever need? The down side is that you won't want to leave! In all seriousness, this beach property offered us the setting that we had only hoped for, and it enabled us to experience the best vacation ever!!!!!

  This is my second time staying at this cottage. Love it! Location is great, walkable to Times Square - right across from public swimming pool, and lots of restaurants close by. In fact I love it so much, I booked it for a stay in June!

  Couldn't have asked for a better vacation @ the Beachfront Bliss beach house. Our first vacation with our dogs & we all loved it. The location, amenities, charm, cleanliness & comfort were all perfect. I could have sat on the deck watching the ocean all day, but also enjoyed our walks to everywhere. Traffic can get bad, so this is a great place to stay & avoid it! Plenty of dog friendly places nearby too. We are already planning our return for next year.

  this was everything we wanted and more. a fully equipt two-bedroom two bath house just a few feet from the beach. clean, well-maintained, and perfect location. there is a bit of traffic if you need to drive any distance; but we mostly walked to places close by, and had no problem. great fitness club half a mile away. fresh catch bistro which had great seafood is even closer. and you can't beat heavenly buscuit for breakfast.

  We really enjoyed our visit to Ft. Myers Beach. The weather was wonderful, the facility was cute and comfortable. Loved that we were within walking distance to so many eateries and shopping. Plenty of linens. Very peaceful and quiet.

  My partner and I really enjoyed our 10 days on Fort Myers Beach at Beachfront Bliss. It was exactly as advertised - lovely home, lovely beach, great location just outside the main hustle and bustle area but close enough to walk to everything. The house is perfect for a couple of small family. It is well appointed and the kitchen is nicely equipped. This is not a luxury accomodation, but it is a perfect place to kick back, relax, watch the birds and dolphins, and get a good bit of people watching in as a bonus. The house has three televisions with basic cable, and a very good internet connection for those, like me, that need to work a bit while vacationing. I'm generally an ocean person, having grown up in Va. Beach. But more and more I find myself attracted to the gulf side of Florida for the quiet and natural beauty - must have something to do with turning 50! While the beach at Beachfront Bliss is lovely, I really enjoyed time out in a kayak in Estero Bay, fishing and bird watching. The wildlife back there is just phenomenal. We drove down from DC for this vacation - a long drive, but worth it since we had a two week period to travel and wanted to bring our two little dogs. The house is great for dogs, and the beach is very dog friendly (although dogs have to be leashed). We found the leash rule to be flexible enough that when the beach was very quiet, we could let our girls run a bit to get their excess energy out. But mostly, the other folks on the beach expect your dog to be leashed and since everyone respects the rule, it works very well. People are also very good about cleaning up after their dogs. One word of caution to other dog owners staying at Beachfront Bliss - there are nasty burrs in the grasses on the island that seem to jump onto dogs. After a few go-rounds, we started being extra careful about keeping ours off the grasses to avoid the de-burring ritual. We loved our vacation in FMB so much that we are considering purchasing our own property. Fingers crossed! Thanks to Tricia Bernard for being such a great host!

  My family of 4 just spent the most relaxing week at this adorable beach house! The first 3 days were interrupted with tropical storm Debby, but that didn't stop us from enjoying all the area has to offer. This house is the perfect size and I love how it's elevated so when you're out on the front deck you have a terrific view of the ocean. The outside shower was so nice and convenient. The house was very clean too which is very important to me! The location is perfect. The beach is away from the busy public beach and the resorts that are near by are small enough that they don't attract a big crowd. The owner was great and very friendly to work with. I was a little nervous with this being my first time renting off of VRBO.com, but the process was painless. My family LOVED it and are already trying to figure out when we can go back! PS: We did the waverunner dolphin tour with Holiday water sports at the Pink Shell resort and it was AMAZING!!! Look into it. So fun!

  We spent a month at this property and loved the location as well as the dog friendly beach! The sunsets are amazing and the location could not be beat! Walkable to most everything you need(lots of eating places) and a short ride to all else. Great deck with awesome views and just a few steps and your toes are in the water! "Pete's Last Stop" in Time Square was a perfect spot for breakfast, lunch or dinner.Fun and casual - great people watching spot! Be sure to rent a Kayak/Boat and view manatees and dolphins!

  We had a wonderful time at this darling beach house! People would walk by on the beach and take pictures of it or just simply stop to stare at it and that's because it is so cute--inside and out! Tricia was great to work with and answered all questions quickly. The location of this property is perfect because it's close to the square, restaurants, grocery stores, etc. I would recommend this property! We would recommend eating at the Fish House restaurant, Bayfront Bistro, and South Beach Restaurant, but putting something on the grill at the beach house is also highly recommended and watch the beautiful sunsets!
