About this property

🐾 Dog Friendly, Spacious Beach Retreat, only Steps to Sugary Sand, Conveniences and all the Fun!

Welcome to Dolphin Beach Retreat, your unique place in paradise! This property is located mid-island with beach access just steps across Estero Boulevard. A quiet relaxing location for that desired getaway, yet just a short walk along the beach is a kiosk for jet-ski rentals, parasailing rides, and even dolphin tours along a 7-mile stretch of white, sugary sand beach.

Super convenient to the supermarket and an upscale bistro on the bay. Trolley service along the boulevard is available to transport you to Times Square, with all of its restaurants, clubs, and night life.

The property has a fantastic lanai porch with ambient evening lighting that leads to the property entrance. The nicely furnished living area has comfy sofa, TV with YouTubeTV. Dining area finds a table seating 6, and a fully equipped kitchen. Everything is available that you would need to cook daily multi-course dinners, or simply make a pot of coffee in the morning.

The master bedroom has a queen size bed, closet, and plenty of dresser space. Guest bedroom has a queen size bed, closet, and plenty of dresser space. Downstairs common area has a washer and dryer. There's a propane grill that is shared. All lower levels have evening ambient lighting and privacy lattice work surrounds this area. You'll also find parking spaces accommodating 2 vehicles.

There are many restaurants and shops a short drive north across the bridge towards south Fort Myers. The same is true if you drive south towards Bonita Beach. Water activities abound with fishing charters, scuba and snorkel adventures, jet ski rentals, para-sailing, etc. Fort Myers, Bonita Springs and Naples are all modern cities with plenty of shopping, dining and sight seeing to experience. The South West International Airport in Fort Myers is close by for convenience as well.

This spot feels like a hidden gem. Just across Estero Boulevard from the beach, it's quiet yet close to everything. The space is simple but comfortable, with a lanai porch that's perfect for relaxing after a day in the sun. Ideal for a low-key beach escape.

Dolphin Beach Retreat Lower feels like a cozy beach hideaway just steps from the water The quiet location makes it easy to relax but you're still close to fun things like jet skis and good food It seemed like the perfect spot for a low-key getaway

Disappointing

For the price I was hoping for a better quality bed and pillows. I was unable to sleep on the bed because it was hard as a rock. The pillows were flat. Sleeping on the couch was better. The pullout bed from the couch was also super uncomfortable (like most pullout beds).

the hobbit hole was a disappointment.

We were informed a week before our reservation that there was an issue with our rental and they would have to move us to another unit. This unit was sold to me as a brand new remodel, also the renting agent was not willing to give any discounts for the inconvenience however she did confirm it would be ok to check in early. witch we discussed via phone that it would be ok to come in 12 hrs earlier. all sounded good. showed up to rental about 10 hrs early and it was very unmarked. found and got in unit to find. no interior door knob's. very dirty and dusty with construction debris. tools and supplies left on porch and bathroom. outlets not secured. shower floor drain not secured. chair moldings incomplete protruding from the walls. paint unfinished. half a roll of toilet paper. odor in bathroom when fan was on. musty mold smell in witch kinda took your breath away. all this aside. we got inside cleaned up a bit and layed down to rest after a 20 hr drive. i was woke up by a man entering the rental and yelling from the main room. i got up to find a dude standing in the main room of the rental. asking who i was. apparently my early check in was not communicated with all party's envolved. he gave me the second key for the rental and left. they sent someone to "finish up"the place that day around 2. all that was done was two door knobs were installed. they then asked if they could come back to keep working on the place. i denied. went a bought toilet paper. and delt with the hobbit hole of a rental. beware of coastal breeze rentals. when i asked for compensation they credited me one night and proceeded to imply that i fabricated the pictures.
