Our first extended winter in Ft. Myers was enjoyable. The city and surrounding areas have much to offer. This condo was very suitable for the two of us with occasional visits of two others. The following provides our summary of the condo and complex.
Positives:
1. Condo and facilities were as described. The condo was well equipped with everything needed to get you started.
2. Condo and complex were nice and well maintained.
3. Owners were very nice, responsive to questions/issues and easy to deal with. They met us upon arrival, showing us around and introducing us to some of the tenants.
4. Other tenants are very friendly and helpful. They held a complex wide potluck during our stay which helped us to meet others.
5. Condo is convenient to shopping, restaurants, numerous sightseeing areas and downtown.
6. Easy access to major N-S and E-W roads.
7. Covered parking spot very near condo and stairs/elevator.
8. New air conditioner and large, side by side refrigeratorl
Issues:
1. Condo complex is adjacent to low income housing which lead to some minor issues…condo residents primarily did their exercise walking inside the complex.
2. The lanai was nice, but not scenic…overlooks three parking lots.
3. Dryer vent is prone to dust bunnies and could use thorough cleaning. Required us to pick up lint outside front door after every use as exhaust exits to walkway near front door.
4. Carpet could use a deep cleaning…not soiled or stained, but noticeably dirty if you walk around in white socks.
5. Condo required additional cleaning by us upon arrival due to previous tenant…cleaning lady and owners tried, but more work was required to get it up to our standards.
6. The amenities at the complex are limited…only a pool (which is nice and well maintained) and shuffleboard. As these aren't of keen interest to us, we left the complex daily for other entertainment.
7. Exercise facility has limited equipment that is old and well worn.
8. There are no exhaust fans in the bathrooms. There is little, if anything, the owners can do due to the condo construction. A minor inconvenience, but we wanted others to be aware.
9. Guest bedroom is dark and in need of additional lighting. A ceiling fan similar to the master bedroom would also be helpful.
All in all, we had a good time and enjoyed the condo, complex and talking with the other tenants.
