About this property

New to Market! 🐾 Dog Friendly, Spacious Beach Retreat, Steps to Sugary Sand, Conveniences!

Welcome to Dolphin Beach Retreat, your unique place in paradise! This property is located mid-island with the beach access just steps across Estero Boulevard. A quiet relaxing location for that desired getaway, yet just a short walk along the beach is a kiosk for jet-ski rentals, parasailing rides, and even dolphin tours along a 7-mile stretch of white, sugary sand beach.

Super convenient to the supermarket and an upscale bistro on the bay. Trolley service along the boulevard is available to transport you to Times Square, with all of its restaurants, clubs, and night life.

The property has a fantastic lanai porch with ambient evening lighting that leads to the property entrance. The nicely furnished living area has comfy sofa, TV with Roku and YoutubeTV. Dining area finds a table seating 4, and a fully equipped kitchen. Everything is available that you would need to cook daily multi-course dinners, or simply make a pot of coffee in the morning.

There are two beautifully decorated bedrooms. The master bedroom has a queen size bed, closet, and plenty of dresser space. The second bedroom has twin beds that can be pushed together to create a King.

Downstairs common area has a washer and dryer. There's a propane grill that is shared. All lower levels have evening ambient lighting and privacy lattice work surrounds this area. You'll also find parking space accommodating 2 vehicles.

There are many restaurants and shops a short drive north across the bridge towards south Fort Myers. The same is true if you drive south towards Bonita Beach. Water activities abound with fishing charters, scuba and snorkel adventures, jet ski rentals, para-sailing, etc. Fort Myers, Bonita Springs and Naples are all modern cities with plenty of shopping, dining and sight seeing to experience. The South West International Airport in Fort Myers is close by for convenience as well.

For our guests with allergies, this property is non-smoking. Dog friendly restrictions and fees apply. Dogs are permitted up to 25 lbs and non-aggressive breeds only with pet fee paid in advance. Limit of two. Fee is $20 per night per dog.

This place has a laid-back vibe that instantly feels like home. The location makes hitting the beach effortless, and the porch is great for relaxing evenings. The space is simple but comfortable, perfect for a low-key getaway.

Great location

While it's not on the beach, it is just a short and easy walk to the beach. Bonus if your goal is to avoid crowds on the beach too. The owners were easy to communicate with throughout my time there as well as getting it reserved.

When we arrived I guess expected it to be freshened up after being closes up. I washed the sheets because there were stains. Placemats filthy & garbage can was filthy as well. Glass rings on coffee table. I bought cleaning products to clean glass tables.After cleaning not a bad place. Close to beach.

Thank you for your feedback Jill. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the location and your stay overall. Had we been made aware of any cleanliness concerns during your stay, we would have been more than happy to promptly send our cleaning team to address them. We strive to resolve any issues as quickly as possible and regret that we were not given the opportunity to do so at the time. Thank you again for staying with us.

All as advertised.

Everything was clean and the rooms were larger than expected. The beds were comfortable and the area quiet so slept well. The beach was an easy walk away and we enjoyed it. The stairs were almost too much for this old man. Overall an excellent stay.

Different between advertisement and reality

The property was präsented as „ New on the Market“ . We thought, that means the property was renovated after hurrican damage but that wasn‘nt. No internet, no TV - satellite dish was not installed but outside the house on the ground-, aircondition did work - up to 86 F in the afternoon. Major safety issues: no fire extinguisher, no first aid kit, no deadbolt lock as listed. Overall, we did enjoy staying in the property and would not recommend this property for vacation.

Disappointing

Needs updating immediately including flooring, kitchen remodeling, furniture and bedding, and overall maintenance needs. Garbage and building materials are piled everywhere around the house and are becoming a hazard to the occupants. Maintenance personnel were very responsive to providing some immediate needs like cookware and electrical issues but were limited as to certain needed improvements during the five weeks we were there. Unfortunately it is definitely not a luxury rental as advertised.

Response from VrboOwner on 11 Mar 2024
Thank you for the response Gary. We understand that it can be frustrating with the amount of construction on the island. Unfortunately we cannot control the construction. As you know this area is still in a hurricane rebuilding mode. We apologize that there was necessary work being performed during your stay. We were more than happy to refund a partial amount from your reservation due to these issues. We do have this in our listing as well. Please know these issues have since been resolved. We hope you otherwise enjoyed your stay. Thank you.
