River District Princess House only 15 Miles To Beach

Was a little leery from reviews but we were all very pleased with the tastefully decorated and comfortable home. Plenty of room, everything we needed was provided and it was a great location to downtown and a very enjoyable walk to the river. We loved the backyard with birds, variety of plants - loved the star fruit tree. Don't let the immediate surroundings fool you or keep you away - this place was a hidden jewel. Thanks Brett and Susan.

This property was perfect for our mission trip group of teens the area is a little on the older but we experienced no problems one suggestion 49ers maybe to put another bathroom in the back where the laundry hookups are located thank you for being very responsive with every question that we had

This house was perfect for my group of 18 college students. We were doing relief work in the area and needed a place to rest. There are futons literally EVERYWHERE. Easily could have slept double what we did. It was perfect and the neighborhood was fine. Some reviews said it was a sketchy neighborhood but we had no issues at all. Would definitely recommend.

We needed a place that slept a lot of people who were in town for a memorial service. The Princess House worked quite well for that purpose.

It is NOT a great neighborhood.

Some previous reviews have mentioned the neighborhood and I can only be honest; it's not great. There was a lot of trash on the streets, unkempt lots, and poverty nearby. That said, I took a walk each morninig and it was quiet with no issues. The pictures don't necessarily show all of this.

Neighborhood aside, the house is nice enough with a large back yard and very roomy interior. There were three private bedrooms and then two large living areas with many Futons. This makes this a very good location if you have three or four families with lots of children. If your gathering is all adults then you may have a lack of privacy.

The kitchen is quite adequate for cooking meals and the dining area can accomodate about ten people.

There is a full sized bathroom and a smaller one with just a standing shower and both worked quite well.

You are literally minutes from downtown Fort Myers which is beautiful and less than 30 minutes from Deep Sea fishing and Fort Myers Beach. I guess it's about a fifteen minute drive to the Edison-Ford estate and about 30 minutes to Cape Coral. If the bar is your thing, there is a tropical bar just a five minute walk away. We never went but it looked pretty cool.

The reason I give this rental 4 out of five stars is because it is easily worth what the owners rent it for. If you are travelling on a budget and want the whole family to be together, the Princess House could work out great for you!

The neighborhood is pretty run down, and a little bit scary, however, it was more of vibe than a reality, the neighbors were quiet and quite nice, I would recommend this house to anyone, we were 12 people and the house was more than enough to accommodate us, the back yard is huge and clean, the downtown was pretty close and there as a car show going on memorial weekend. We enjoyed our stay very much!
