Thanks for the feedback! The arrival information is automatically sent to the guest via email in advance. This is also described again in the booking confirmation, and we ask guests to contact us immediately if they haven’t received the arrival information. It’s very unfortunate if guests don’t read it, as we can then check and verify that the guest did indeed receive it.

Fishing trip

Excellent place, small and perfect for the 2 of us. Will not hesitate to book again. Fished off the dock every day. Was able to Uber to restaurants and bar. Walkable to the best food at Blue Dog. Property manager reached out, which was appreciated. Had to issues with the check out process. Thank you from a fisherman and his sun worshiping wife!

Thanks for your wonderful feedback. Right it´s such a beautiful place. Unfortunately, we cannot understand what happened to the check-out process, the property management would have been available immediately. The message about the check-out process went out, we have checked this again.

Roaches

Location is great and they have clearly done a lot of work to the place. But we got up at 2 am to use the bathroom and there were about 5 roaches in the bathroom and kitchen area. We let the owner know at 7am and left to find a hotel for the remainder of the stay.

Response from VrboOwner on Apr 19, 2025
Many thanks for the feedback. Yes that's right, a really great place there, which we also made beautiful again We are sorry to hear that. Although it can happen more often in Florida with the cockroaches. It's a shame that you left straight away and only then said something about the cockroaches. We could have offered you other accommodation and also in the complex.

About the host

Hosted by Martina Streng

Host profile image
My husband and I have been renting vacation rentals in Southwest Florida for several years. Our Fishermen's Paradise is especially close to our hearts as anglers and water lovers.

Why they chose this property

The house with all 4 apartments is completely at your disposal for your sole use. Especially larger groups of anglers get their money's worth.

What makes this property unique

Fishing is possible directly from our jetty - at any time. So already at the first coffee, the first rod can be thrown out. There is also the possibility to dock one or even 2 boats to the private boat deck.
