This house is even better than the photos. Designed so that almost every room has a view and access to the beautiful patio and Pool & spa area. Quiet neighborhood among beautiful homes and canals. Great location - We visited beaches and state parks along Manasota Key, Gasparilla / Boca Grande, sights in Fort Myers, and took a day trip to the Everglades. Had an incredible day escaping the crowds by kayaking to Don Pedro State Park and enjoying that gorgeous beach accessible only by boat (HIGHLY recommend SUPEnglewood. Great value and fantastic customer service) This is a great Gulf Coast vacation home!

So so glad you enjoyed your time here. Please come back and visit us again, there is so much to see and do here.
Overall this was a lovely home.. But I did have some issues and have contacted the property management first before I wrote a review. This home is advertised as a heated pool and spa and electric over 250 would be my responsibility. Which is fine, however if you advertise a heated pool in January, then it should be heated when I arrive since it does take on average 72 hours to heat up. The pool was a balmy 71 degrees along with the hot tub. The hot tub had a timer on it which would time out after about 3 hours and dump water into the pool and we would have to start all over again heating it up. We did babysit it one evening and we used it, which I did tell the property manager that we were able to use it the but babysat it. We are a family of 6 and my kids are adults now and it would've been nice to use the pool & hot tub daily. If I had known this issue I would not have stayed there. The expense of flights and the stay, I would have paid extra for a heated Pool! I stay in rentals quite a bit and don't mind paying extra for a heated pool. So don't advertise heated if it is not heated for me when I arrive. I understand the timers, but Not when occupied. Another complaint that I did have was in the check out it stated any loads of laundry over 3 would be charged 10 a load. ??? seriously 4 beds and 6 people. What am I paying a cleaning fee for? FYI for another renter to inquire on the heated pool during the winter months. I was not pleased & would not stay again
