Family Friendly Beach Home with Large Heated Pool

Member, Fort Myers Beach Chamber of Commerce

While we're new to Airbnb, and therefore only 3 guest reviews, we're a Premier Host on other platforms with more than 135 5-star guest reviews. Search for our website and social media pages under SouthernSerenityFMB to see all guest reviews.

The Town of Fort Myers Beach Registration Number is 19-0096, and the property is a member of both the Florida Vacation Rental Management Association and the Fort Myers Beach Chamber of Commerce.

The photos are up-to-date, taken post-Hurricane Ian as of July 10, 2024. The rebuild and remodel are fully complete. Please look us up on the web and social media under Southern Serenity FMB for links to our video and virtual tours. If considering other properties in Fort Myers Beach, verify with the host that their photos are current, as some properties are not yet rebuilt and may display pre-Ian images.

The house is a beautifully renovated, non-smoking property with five bedrooms, three and a half baths, and two kitchens. It is situated at the north end of the island, close to Times Square, the new Margaritaville Resort, and the bustling downtown and Bayside Park areas. It comfortably sleeps 12, not counting an inflatable twin mattress and a pack-n-play. Due to fire code regulations, we cannot accommodate more than 13 guests, with no exceptions.

The house comes fully equipped with towels, linens, soap, shampoo, and more.

The outdoor area is as inviting as any on the island, featuring an oversized, heated pool for your enjoyment. The pool is reputed to be the largest private pool on the island, maintained at a steady 83 degrees (though it may be warmer from May to October as we do not cool it). Beach chairs, pub tables, and an outdoor grill are also provided for your use.

Complimentary Wi-Fi is available, along with Xfinity high-definition cable offering over 140 channels, including an extra sports package. Each bedroom is fitted with a wall-mounted HD TV with cable access (four out of five bedrooms have smart TVs).
Expect to find more amenities than usual for a vacation rental. We provide a pack-n-play, highchair, booster seat, two high-capacity washing machines, two dryers, hair dryers in each bathroom, and a hair straightener in one bathroom. The list of included amenities is too extensive to detail fully here.

Please note: Southern Serenity is equipped with outdoor security cameras.

This listing is for your private use of the entire house, pool, and outdoor space.

Shelley and I are accessible throughout your stay, but we'll stay out of your hair. Don't hesitate to call, text, or email with any questions or concerns prior to check-in or during your stay.

We have the greatest neighbors. Some of our guests come tell us they come back every years in-part because of the relationships they've built with the neighbors.

Fort Myers Beach, especially where we're at on the north end of the island, is very walkable. If you stop to pick up groceries along your trip on to the island or if you have your groceries delivered, you could easily get away without renting a car or golf cart.

Note: house is five bedroom, 3.5 bath. In order to show all seven beds, Airbnb software interprets this as 7 bedrooms. In fact, the twin room has two beds; and the lowest level has a Murphy Bed.

Photos are post Hurricane Ian and current as of 7/23/2024. Rebuild/remodel is 100% complete. If you're looking to book elsewhere in Fort Myers Beach, be sure to confirm with host that photos are current, as some that we know of are not yet rebuilt and showing pre-Ian photos.

House is a beautiful, freshly remodeled, 5 bedroom, 3.5 bath, non-smoking home with two kitchens. House is located at the north end of the island near Times Square, the new Margaritaville Resort, and the popular downtown and Bayside Park areas. Our house sleeps 12 excluding an inflatable twin mattress and the pack-n-play. No more than 13 guests can be accommodated due to fire code, no exceptions.

House is fully equipped - towels, linens, soap, shampoo, etc. are provided. Also includes beach accessories such as chairs, umbrella, coolers (2), beach carts (2). For the kids, there is a stroller, a highchair, pack-n-plays (2).

You'll find the outdoor space as nice as anything you'll find on the island. Your outdoor oasis and over-sized, heated pool are ready for you to enjoy. We're told that the pool is the largest private pool on the island and is heated to a constant 83 degrees (pool will be warmer than that from May-October as we don't cool it). Beach chairs, pub tables, outdoor grill are all ready for your use.

Free Wi-Fi. Xfinity high def cable with more than 140 channels and the extra sports package. All bedrooms include wall mounted, HD TVs with cable (4 of 5 with smart TVs).

You're going to find more than you expect - certainly more than you'll find in most vacation rentals. We have a pack-n-play, highchair, booster seat. We have two high capacity washing machines and two dryers. We have hair dryers in each bathroom plus a hair straightener in one bathroom. Far too much for us to list everything included in this space.

Notice to guests: Southern Serenity has outdoor security cameras. They are not concealed and clearly visible. They are for security purposes only. There are no concealed cameras and no cameras inside the home.

We had a great time staying at Brad and Shelley's place. They were perfect hosts and always responded promptly to any questions we had. We were there for Thanksgiving and the extra kitchen was very much appreciated! The kitchen was very well stocked for a rental property. Lots of beach and baby equipment provided as well. The pool was great as well as the location, which was within walking distance to the beach and many bars and restaurants. The sunsets were beautiful! We would love to stay at Southern Serenity again!

Great for large extended family

We stayed with 12 members of our family. The house was so clean and well taken care of. Very nice having 2 kitchens and such a short walk to the beach and Times Square. The pool was so nice to come back and relax around after a day at the beach! I would highly recommend this property!

Perfect Spring Break!

Stayed at this beautiful home with our children and grandchildren for spring break. They had everything we needed for the pool and beach. All the toys, chairs, umbrellas, beach carts, coolers, too much to mention. All you need for the baby of the family is there as well! Plenty of room for everyone. Any time we needed to reach out to Brad and Shelley with a question, they responded almost immediately. Close to Times Square, restaurants, bars, shopping. Great location. We hope to return to this amazing property in the future!

If you want to be close to beach and have a pool (which is huge) this is your place! Plenty of space for our family of ten. Very comfortable beds, second kitchen in lower level a plus. Teenagers enjoyed the lower level playing PS5 on the large TV. Can’t wait to come back!

This house is in a great location and had everything we needed to just relax near the beach for the weekend. The abundance of baby/kid supplies made it super easy to bring our one year old on his first vacation. The communication with the host was super easy and quick. If we find ourselves retaining to Fort Myers Beach, we'd definitely stay again!

Over all the house was very nice , we really enjoyed the pool area. Great location!

The 4th bedroom upstairs would have been a better fit for our group if it had a full-size bed instead of a pullout couch. All other bedrooms were great! We loved how we could walk to most places.

Perfect Spot For A Large Group

Absolutely loved our stay. The home was so quiet, comfortable, and clean, and even with 9 of us staying we never felt like we were in each others way. The pool area was so nice that we spent most of our time there even though the beach was only a short block away! The property is a very close walk to many restaurants, shops, and bars. The entire area around the house is very clean, upkept, and quaint. Working with the owners was very easy - our texts/questions were answered immediately before, during, and after our stay. This really is a great place!

My friends and I travel all over the world this was a snap decision knowing that we could be there during a hurricane. We had a fabulous time the weather was perfect the host is right the pool is probably the largest private pool on the island it is absolutely stunning the house was clean it had all of the amenities we needed and it was a short walk to the beach for a sunset every evening. There were six of us and there are six beds in the house it was perfect! If I could give the host 10 stars I would we will definitely be booking this place again. It is in the perfect location a Fort Myers Beach close to all the fun restaurants bike rentals convenience and grocery store we didn’t have to leave we were in paradise.

About the host

Hosted by Shelley Wethington

Host profile image
We began coming to the island with our kids during Spring Break in 2005. We’d talked about buying here for years and in 2018 finally pulled the trigger. We’ve tried to think of everything we’ve enjoyed over the years and included them all for your use. We wish you the best, most enjoyable time in Fort Myers Beach and hope we can be a part of helping you make lifelong memories.

Why they chose this property

You'll see from the moment you book that this isn't a vacation rental property that we manage from a distance. Instead, this is our dream home that we share with our valued guests. We visit frequently (every chance we get) and take personal care to ensure a welcoming guest experience.

What makes this property unique

Please check out our guest reviews. Entire house is well-suited to accommodate your family for an enjoyable and memorable vacation, but you'll find the pool and outdoor space especially welcoming. Many of our guests enjoy the house and pool so much they forget that the beach is 1680' away.
