Fantastic Host w/ Perfect quiet/laid back location

This accommodation worked very well for my wife and I and our pet. It is not in the hustle/bustle of the crowd but mid island and within biking distance if/as needed. Patio is very nice and relaxing enjoyed watching the fish jump in the adjacent canal. Very convenient to local grocery, restaurant, and most importantly short walk to a great beach. Great people in the neighborhood as well as Debbie is the best host has a perfect amount of interaction/help as needed with no intrusion at all! If you want a really laid back island vibe with the beach very near I'd say this is the place! Also coco the African grey parrot is at a nearby location and very entertaining with his great songs and whistles. Most excellent time for us!

Relaxing location close to the beach

We had a wonderful stay! It was nice to enjoy the lounge chairs and screened in porch on the canal side of the house while also having a super short walk to the beach. Charming decor and comfy furniture, including the king-size bed. We had everything we needed to cook at home - well supplied kitchen and nice gas grill. Very clean and well kept. We also appreciated that it was pet friendly with a nice neighborhood to walk our dog. Debra was easy to communicate with before and during our stay. Thanks! We hope to stay again sometime.

Fort Myers Beach Stay - Awesome!

My husband and I stayed at the apartment and loved it. A screened in porch overlooks a canal and a lovely beach is a short walk away. We had the use of beach chairs and an umbrella. Two bicycles were also at our disposal and we used them to ride around the island. The neighborhood is pleasant and was a good place to walk our little dog. Debbie is wonderful to work with and came downstairs to meet us and give restaurant recommendations. I highly recommend staying here and hope to come again.

Great quiet place

Debbie’s place was extremely clean and well appointed. She was as easily accessible, and very quick to respond to any questions. The canal kept us entertained with the jumping fish, and it was a short walk across the street to the gulf or to the bus stop. Publix grocery store and 2 restaurants were just a mile down the road.

Wonderful vacation

I can’t say enough good things about our stay. The house was spotless. The location is only a few min walk to a very quiet beach. The canal right off your deck and pool is like a secret hideaway, with fish jumping and palm trees swaying. We drove to Lovers Key park (@15 min) and rented kayaks. We were able to see manatees and dolphins. Debbie the owner was always very helpful when needed, but stayed out of sight. Say hello to Coco the very entertaining bird!

Quiet getaway with very small pool(wasn’t sure it was big enough but out grandkids played in it for hours)1 and 1/2 blocks to white sandy beach on the Gulf.

Great Location

This was very much as advertised and was especially good for our dogs. Debbie is a wonderful host and even though there was some construction near by it really didn't affect us that much. A short walk to the beach and we enjoyed watching the sunsets with our two nutty dogs.

Perfect getaway

This property was perfect for my husband and I. I walked the short walk to the beach daily, dipped in the pool several warm days, loved drinking meals and my morning coffee on the screened patio and deck. The location is perfect, quiet and private but just a short drive north or south on Entero Blvd to restaurants, shops, Lovers Key State Park, Times Square and Fort Myers Pier. 2 bikes are provided if you want to ride to locations or in the beach. We took our two small dogs and walked them on the beach or in the neighborhood daily. The location was clean and in great shape. The owner was so nice and helpful, available at all times by phone or text if needed, not that we had any problems, but she made us feel welcome and made sure we know we could reach out. I would highly recommend staying here and plan to return.

Great location!

Debbie was the best landlord. She is helpful and very thoughtful. She left us alone, but was right there when we needed her. The beach goes on for 7 miles and is a short block away. We enjoyed exploring the island with the bikes. We brought our jet ski and it was convenient to ride from the apartment out to the bay.

Great stay

Overall, stay was good, wish the pool had been heated and access to washer and dryer. Other than that the beach was only a 2 minute walk and very nice. It turned cold, which we hadn't expected, but can't control the weather.

Peaceful place for a couple or small family

Two adults and 2 boys ages 12 and 8 stayed without any issues. Debra was very helpful with whatever needs we had while there. The screened in area was wonderful for our meals and evening time, and the kids loved the pool too! We could walk to the beach and it was very close to other points of interest like Lovers Key State Park. Would definitely stay again

Beach Retreat will not disappoint! (3 time renter)

Our family loves our visits to Beach Lover's Retreat! We have visited on three different occasions (2 weeks each during months of January, April and December) over the past 4 years and each time the property is consistently comfortable, clean and inviting. We visited as a family of 1 adult/2 children or 2 adults/1 child all with our two large dogs. It is less than a five minute walk to the beach, quiet, very clean, close to Publix and Lover's Key (Dog Beach). The kitchen is fully stocked for cooking your own meals or there are many good restaurants within a bike ride or a very short drive. The king bed is very comfy and there are two TV's (living room and bedroom). The beach is so close you can literally see the beach access from the front of the house. The apartment has plenty of sheets and blankets for the fold-out couch. The lanai is a wonderful relaxing place for a meal, to read or play a board game. The deck is good for some morning coffee or early afternoon sun. Debbie is always available for questions but you also have plenty of privacy. The neighborhood is good for walking the pooches (pick up after them!). There were updates during our last visit (Dec. 2016): bedding, bathroom accessories, etc. I suggest this location and apartment to anyone staying in FMB that wants some peace and quiet but yet still close to everything. Give Beach Retreat a visit.

Absolutely perfect!

We love Beach Lovers Retreat! It is off the beaten path but still very accessible to the beach. The home is spotless and the owner goes out of her way to be helpful and accommodating. You will find everything you need here from a well stocked kitchen to anything you may need for a day at the beach. The owner even has bicycles for your use and provided us with a Monopoly game on a rare rainy day. You won't be disappointed!

What makes this property unique

This is one of the few homes that is a straight shot to the beach (about 150') and also on a canal! You can see dolphins & manatees in the canal playing.
