The condo was just as described! Lovely view and everything you'd need for a wonderful week at the beach. Well stocked kitchen, beach accessories and extra towels and blankets meant we had no worries on our trip. Owners were quick with answers to our questions and so nice! You can tell this home is well cared for everything you could want for a beach vacation is thought of and at hand. Would definitely stay again!

Perfect condo on a perfect beach!

This condo was so lovely. Decorated beautifully, well-equipped kitchen, comfortable bed, and located on a heavenly stretch of Ft Myers Beach. The owners were so welcoming and made the check-in/check-out process so easy. We loved that the building and this area of Ft Myers Beach is so peaceful. Plenty of great restaurants for lunch and dinner looking out on the water. The sunsets from the lanai were spectacular. Highly recommend this condo for a couple or a family of 4.

Beautiful condo - fantastic experience!

This was our first VRBO experience and the standard was set high! We had a great experience. We appreciated having items available to use on the beach as well as dishes, etc. in the condo. The condo itself was beautifully decorated and very homey. The views were gorgeous and we appreciated the quiet beach and pool. We would definitely book the condo again on a return trip. Highly recommend!

Perfect Beach Trip

This trip was for a milestone birthday for a family member. We were looking for a place right on the beach with a balcony that we could relax and enjoy. No hustle and bustle as this was for an 80th birthday. Everything was exactly as we imagined our vacation to be. Condo has everything you could even imagine needing. Sunsets right from the recliner in the living room were spectacular. Perfection would definitely look at staying here again if vacationing with a small group.

We spent the week of the Fourth in this immaculate condo. There are no words to describe how extremely happy we were to have chosen this perfect place.

Beautiful sunsets and great access to the beach.

The property is clean and updated. Very impressed with the view of the beach, the sunsets and easy access to the beach, pool and parking. My wife and I highly recommend this unit. We definitely will go back! The only issue we had was with the TV in the master bedroom, which we couldn’t get to work. But having said that, it’s not a deal breaker with us.

Very Nice Condo

The condo is very nice and clean. Any issues we had, the owner was very quick to resolve. The only thing I would recommend to the owners would be to label or color the keys. The condo door and storage keys are identical. We had to keep trying the keys to see which one would open the door. It is a nice quiet beach.

Perfect property, great location

We had a great time in Ft. Myers Beach and were really impressed with the condo. Everything was meticulously updated and really felt like a home away from home. My wife and I were traveling with our 4 and 2 year old children and were impressed with the amenities the owners had available that were well suited for the entire family. From an extensive variety of beach gear (buckets, shovels, umbrellas, etc.) to kids stuff (books, games, toys) all the bases were covered. Also important to note, the actual location is super convenient since it's pretty much dead center of Ft. Myers Beach - a very short drive to Publix, close proximity to some of the better dining options, and plenty of distance from the party-crowd that tends to be located on the northern part of Ft. Myers Beach. If you're looking for a nice, relaxing beach vacation - I would highly recommend this property.

Beautiful Condo!

We stayed October 10-17 and had a wonderful time! Condo is Beautiful! Sunsets from the living room and balcony were AMAZING!! Very well stocked with everything that you could possibly need. We cooked dinners in some nights and the kitchen had a great assortment of things, we did not need anything. We have stayed in a lot of condos over the years and this one was by far better for cooking. They had board games, cards, and also a lot of information on area things to do and restaurants. Nice to see the before and after pics of your remodel, you did an AWESOME job! The shelling was great. It was also nice having CVS and Publix close by.

Perfect Florida Getaway

What a pleasant surprise this Ft. Myers Beach condo was! Everything inside the condo is brand new from the granite counters in the kitchen and bathrooms to the plush furnishings. No detail went overlooked when the owners did the remodel. The condo was also spotlessly clean, and has a real "home" feel to it. The condo is on the 6th floor of the north building with spectacular views of the beach and ocean from both the living room and lanai. Both bedrooms also have lanais with the master having an ocean view, and the guest room having a bay view. We loved being able to just walk out to the beach so conveniently and the pool was great as well. The atmosphere is very relaxing and low key, perfect for a family or couple's get away vacation. I would definitely recommend this condo to anyone looking to stay in SW Florida.

Condo was better than expected

I was very hesitant about the room. The pictures were dark on the site, but I looked at the reviews and booked. It turned out to be gorgeous! I also have high expectations about cleanliness, and usually find something wrong. It was spotless! The view and property were amazing. The condo also had everything, including beach items. The beach was gorgeous and clean too. I ran to the pier and back every morning. My kids enjoyed the shuttle too. Great restaurants everywhere. The locals were super friendly. Outside tiki bar on the beach to walk to with a band. The staff there was awesome! I would recommend, remembering your passcodes. I turned in the papers for check in, literally one hour after getting there. 3 days later, at 9 pm, our fabs disn’t work. We would have been locked out. The manager did fix it right away, but there was a gliche and thought our papers were not turned in ( they were).

Gorgeous Beach Getaway

I agree with the other reviews on this condo. The pictures do not do the condo justice to what we saw when we walked through the door! The condo was beautifully renovated. The three balconies offered great views and had comfy seating. The area is low key and not hectic and overly busy. Due to tropical storm Charlie and Debby, we didn't get to the beach as much as we had wanted and spent more time in the condo than expected. But the gorgeous furnishings were oh so beautiful and ever so relaxing. (I wanted to take one of those leather recliners home with me!!) All of those 'special touches' like having beach towels/umbrellas available....books/games/videos, local maps and restaurant menus, toilet paper!!...nail polish remover, etc....those made all of the difference! I have rented other condos in the past throughout Florida and ALWAYS had to stop to pick up items needed for the week. They had some of these items to get you started. Having some of the kitchen items available that you know you aren't going to go thru in one week like a whole container of salt/pepper, PAM cooking spray, foil/saran wrap, etc...was also very convenient and above beyond what we had expected. Finding a baggie for the shells found on the beach or a pair of scissors when something was unraveling right within reach just made it feel like home. It was those special touches that you don't see in all condo rentals that truly stood out for us. I would recommend this condo to anyone who not only wants a beautiful beach retreat stay, but one that is a great value as well.
