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!

We couldn’t have had a better place to stay, great location & great people that own the property, great communication, they went over and above to make sure we were set & even let us know that the bridge was going to be closed down about the time we needed to check out.

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!

Beautiful home in an amazing location!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the beach house in Ft. Myers. Great location in walking distance to many activities and restaurants. The house has amazing amenities that made the stay very enjoyable. Tons of space for friends and family. I would definitely rent this place again! The host was super responsive with any issues or questions.

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 family and I absolutely love this property and the owners! Upon arrival, you will walk into a clean, fresh house. Everything you need to enjoy your vacation is already there and ready to go. You can immediately tell that the owners care about the property and they want you to enjoy their house and your vacation. Not only that but if you do have any questions or concerns, they’re only a phone call away. Super simple. Love it! 10/10

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.
