The condo was very clean and nicely appointed. Very easy to live in for the time we were there. The pool was awesome. We loved using the grills we love staying at Santa Maria because it is close to all the things we love about Fort Myers Beach. our host was very responsive in her messages. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

We're so glad you enjoyed your stay and loved the pool. It's one of the largest heated pools on the island. We agree, the location is great, especially now with all the new shops and restaurants in next door Santini Plaza. We look forward to hosting you again soon.
We had an enjoyable stay, starting with the booking process with our host until the day we left. The condo was meticulous, the pool clean and warm, the people were very friendly and the location was perfect. We plan to stay longer next year. We loved everything about this place!

Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the location, found the unit comfortable, and were able to soak up that magnificent Florida sunshine.
It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime! 🌴
Beautiful, updated condo!!Had everything we needed including beach towels, which is always a plus when traveling.Few minute walk to beach.Large pool with large pool deck.We loved it and plan to stay again!!
This lived up to the description 100% - apartment was well equipped and furnished- condominium facilities were great - pool excellent- nothing to fault at all. After the few hurricanes there is not much close by to eat at so it means a drive to FMB or down to Bonita Springs wheee there’s a good few good restaurants- The fish house is a great eatery

Thank you so much for the great review! We were especially excited to have our first overseas guests—you made the trip all the way from the UK, and we’re so glad the condo lived up to your expectations. Happy to hear you enjoyed the pool and amenities!
Totally agree about the current restaurant situation—hurricane recovery is still ongoing, but we’re glad you found some great spots like The Fish House. Santini Plaza next door should have restaurants opening really soon.Thanks again for staying with us—we’d love to have you back!
Property was very comfy and had everything readily available. Beach was a short walk across the street and condo had beach chairs, umbrella, towels and more available to use. Pool was very inviting and enjoyable too. Host was great and was very attentive with any questions we had.
The unit was exceptionally nice. Perfect for our family needs. The pool and facilities were also good but a lot of construction was happening. The downside was that there were no nearby restaurants. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and our host was very responsive to our needs. We would stay there again.
Great place. Great location for everything. Close to beach access and not a far drive from anything. Manatee’s were in the boat lagoon a few different times. Definitely would come back!

We are glad you found the location to be great and enjoyed your stay. We look forward to hosting you again soon.
We really enjoyed our time at this condo. Everything was clean and brand new. Very comfy and homey. We had everything we needed. The pool area was great and the pool was kept at a nice temperature. It was a short walk to the beach. We love this location at the South end of the Island. Its less busy. We will definetly be back!
We were invited to join family last minute on their Fort Myers vacation. Since they had their vacation planned for a year we did not have a huge selection of properties. This property had no reviews so I took a chance. It was just as pictured. The condo was lovely. It was very nicely decorated, clean and convenient. The beds were comfortable and I have absolutely no complaints. Out the back window, we saw Manatees in the harbor. Also a very interesting bright green iguana taking a morning stroll along the sidewalk. The condo was very quiet. We never heard any neighbors. I would recommend this property to anyone wanting a quiet, clean, convenient place to stay. It is located on the quiet, less traffic side of the island which I appreciated. The property manager was also very responsive to my questions and very accommodating.

Thank you for your thorough and lovely review. The quiet end of the island and convenient location are a few of the features that drew us to Santa Maria. We hope to host you again soon!
My husband, teenage daughter and her friend, and myself stayed at this condo about a week ago. Andrea was very responsive from the very beginning. The condo was exactly as advertised, and extremely clean! We only had to buy the food we needed for our stay, as the condo is stocked with everything you may need (at least for a week), including toilet paper and papertowel. There is a strip mall almost right next store with several really good restaraurants and shops, as well as a CVS right behind that. This location is definitely not for anyone wanting to party, as it is primarily an older crowd or families with small children. The condo has a screened in balcony that overlooks the marina, it's a very nice view. The beach access is across the street and is about a 5 minute walk. The only two things that I consider to be slight cons are the mattress in the main bedroom is not great, and if you are a light sleeper, the early morning beeping from the Hi-Lo's at the Marina will wake you up. Other than that, this condo was prefect for myself and my family and I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. Thank you Andrea for always responding promptly and for clear check-in in and check out procedures.

The quiet location, walking distance to the beach and shopping, is exactly why we chose our condo.
Thanks for letting us know about the mattress. We haven't heard that before so we'll add a topper and check it out when we come down in a few weeks.
We hope to host you again soon.
This condo is exactly as advertised and working with Andrea was easy and simple. She has thought of everything you might need, both inside the living space and in the storage unit for your outdoor enjoyment. We saw a dolphin and a manatee in the marina waters as a bonus! The location is perfectly situated between Ft Myers and Bonita Springs.

The manatees and dolphins are always so beautiful to see. Our family also enjoys fishing or catching stone crab off the marina dock as well.
We appreciate your review and hope to host you again soon in our happy place.
Our family enjoyed our stay so much! The condo had everything we needed and more. The property was in a great location and Andrea was wonderful and responsive. Would definitely go back.

We try to provide everything we think our guests would need to enjoy their beach vacation knowing many of our guests fly and can't transport coolers, chairs, etc. We're glad you had a great vacation.
Thanks for visiting and we hope to host you and your family again soon.
We throughly enjoyed this condo. The location was great. Our boys fished off the dock and we saw two manatees. The marina setting made for good boat watching. The gulf side beach access was very close by. Just a 5 min walk and we found the beach wagon very convenient to haul the included beach gear from the condo storage room. Plenty of beach chairs and umbrellas for all.
The kitchen was well stocked for cooking. Even some extras like oil, spices and foil. All the appliances look nice and new.
Both bathrooms were recently renovated and very nice.
We all enjoyed the screened in porch for boat watching.
We would stay here again. Thanks!

We were delighted to host you and your family and hope see you again soon.
We enjoyed our stay. Condo is nicely updated. Comfortable beds, and kitchen well stocked. Views of the harbor complete with manatee sightings. 5 min walk to the beach. Excellent pool and hot tub. Loved the extra beach supplies in the storage cupboard.
This was a beautiful & very clean condo. We had everything we needed for cooking/grilling & heading to the beach, which is within walking distance. Nice pool & hot tub. Andrea was very responsive. Would highly recommend!
