The beach is across the street. The house and pool are excellent. Comes with all of the amenities. I couldn't ask for a better place in Ft Myers. Hostess was very friendly and awesome!
This property is an absolute gem. It is very clean and well cared for, with a lot of small touches that really made our stay great. The pool is very nice and the proximity to the beach is fantastic. The host is very quick to respond to inquiries and is genuinely interested in providing an excellent experience for their guests. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Salty Air Retreat was everything we hoped for and more. Conveniently located by the beach, this location was stocked with all the amenities you could want. The many restaurants within a short drive were fantastic. I highly recommend this property for a family vacation with or without kids.

Thanks so much for such kind words, John - it was our pleasure to host your group, and we'd love to welcome you back anytime!
I traveled with my husband, son and his family (a 1 and 6 year old). The space was great for 2 families with the 2 living areas. It was very close to the beach and we spent a lot of time on the screened porch with a view of the ocean. The house was very well stocked with everything you need. Would definitely stay here again if we come back.
I almost don't want to leave a review because this property is so great, I want it to be my secret!!! :) House - beautiful, the host has put a lot into the details, such has extra plugs for all our charging, lots of towels, comfortable furniture and all the kitchen tools we could have possibly needed. You have a narrow view of the water from the front and it literally takes 4 min to get to the beach. You are practically on the water. The host provides almost anything you need for the beach as well as for the pool. The pool area is very cute. Seven of us sat comfortably around the pool area. Local Area - we took a Lyft from the airport (at this house, you are so close to things you don't really need a car, and there are bikes to rent across the street), and it was only about 35 min. As mentioned above, the beach is so close, and there are clearly marked access points all over the place. The sand was soft and the resorts on the beach provide entertainment and easy places to grab a bite if you don't want to walk to the house. The Times Square area is super close and we even took a 15 min walk to eat on the Bay side.Other logistics - There is a Publix about 2 miles down the road. The first day I did Instacart and I was not impressed. So the 2nd visit I took a Lyft. It does take a while to get anywhere by car since there is only on main road. The Lyft was about 20 min long ride.
Place is great for a family to stay - plenty of room, pool and walking distance to beach, restaurants and shops. Kitchen fully stocked with everything you need to cook and grill, and plenty of gear for enjoying the beach (umbrella, chairs, cart, cooler, sand buckets/toys, towels)
My friends and I loved this property. The house was spacious and the outdoor pool was awesome!! Very clean and the owner was very responsive and answered questions inatim

Thanks so, so much for the wonderful review, Rhonda - it was our please to host your group! We’d love to have you back anytime!
We will definitely stay here again. Lauren was easy to work with. The house was in a great location, within walking distance to restaurants, bars and across from the beach.
The property was a perfect set up for our family, with plenty of space for 7 adults and the little ones. Very clean and close to the beach. They thought of everything from a kitchen that had everything you could possibly need, to a complete beach setup with chairs and toys! The house is so close to the beach, and you can see it while sitting on the screeded in porch, enjoying coffee or cocktails! And close enough to walk to restaurants and beach shops!Lauren was a great host! She communicated so well and very accommodating!

Excellent stay!
Great pool, very spacious and super clean! Everything was very updated and plenty of cooking supplies. Super close to beach. Highly recommend.
Our blended family group of 4 adults, 4 kids with a wide range of ages had a blast, from the pool to the beach and nearby activities. The quality of everything in the house is top notch. Host Lauren is very responsive!
Overall very good! Ease of access to beach excellent, beach accessories was very good. Rooms were quiet and comfortable, air conditioning worked flawlessly. Kitchen was well equipped. The swimming pool was well maintained and refreshing. Only suggestion: the gas grill worked well, however the area below the grates need a cleaning. If ever in the Fort Meyers Beach area again would most definitely consider this property!

About the host
Hosted by Lauren McCabe
Hi - I’m Lauren McCabe, and I can't wait to welcome you to our Beach House! Our family calls Southwest Florida home, and I’ve been playing in the sand and swimming in the Gulf of Mexico since I vacationed on Fort Myers Beach with my family as a child. We love to start our mornings at Salty Air Retreat with a walk on the beach, savoring the salty air and picking shells with a cup of coffee in hand. We usually end our beach days on a blanket in the sand, watching the most beautiful sunsets over the Gulf.
Our family loves spending time together at Salty Air Retreat - we hope you'll stay at our place, and love it as much as we do!
Why they chose this property
We love our slice of beachy paradise - we’re close enough to be just a short walk from Fort Myers Beach’s Times Square with restaurants and shops, and we’re far enough away that our place is a peaceful retreat. But the best part of our location is that you can see the beach and the Gulf from our front door - less than a block from door to sand!
What makes this property unique
Salty Air Retreat is perfectly located - walk to beaches & Times Square plus a quick drive on and off island! And…our backyard oasis with private pool is perfect for enjoying sunny Southwest Florida days!
