Beautiful outdoor pool area, well protected from the bugs! Wonderful quiet location on the channel and very close to the beach for an easy walk. Lots of room for everyone, everything is fabulously maintained and the garage parking is a huge plus! Highly recommended!

We absolutely loved staying here! The house was very clean, modern, and had everything we could have possibly needed. The pool was fantastic, as well as the whole patio. It was a very close walk to the beach, which was practically empty every day. Wonderful and quick communication with the hosts as well. We will definitely be returning!!

Really nice home with quality finishing and furniture. Kitchen had everything we needed. The bedrooms were larger than the pictures displayed (as was whole house). The pool and patio area was perfect. There were lounge chairs and a wagon to take to beach. Maria was VERY responsive. We would definitely stay again!

The best place to stay! 300 ft from the quiet side of the beach. Clean, spacious house. Pool and hot tub were lifesavers for our kiddos. We have three boys under 11yrs. and it was a perfect place for them. We hosted dinner for family that was staying nearby. Plenty of towels and other amenities.

Loved your VRBO in Ft.Myers. It's location was excellent. In a quiet neighborhood close to restaurantsand shops. 1 block from beach access and had everything that we needed to go to beach including a wagon to transport items. Really enjoyed the pool and patio area on the canal.The unit was very clean and organized with everything where and how you hope it would be. Sometimes pictures oversell a unit. Not this one. I would stay there again and will if I return to area. Our host was very responsive when we had questions they were addressed promptly.I would highly recommend!

This was amazing place to stay so close to everything! We got to see a dolphin in the canal and a manatee. The kids loved the pool. It rained a good part of our trip but with the pool being the way it was we got a ton of use out of it!

Great vacation house

This house has a pool and hot tub all in a screen. There is a canal in the back we fished from. Short walk to the beach and a beach wagon was there for us to use too. The house is exactly as pictured. Hosts were very easy to work with. I would definitely recommend it.

This house is everything you need and want! Our family of 5 were very comfortable in the space. We loved the pool and hot tub! My kids, all under 12 years, didn't want to ever get out! The one day there were dolphins in the channel too! And we caught a red drum and a few lady fish. The hosts were great! Fast communication. We didn't have any issues. There was a wagon with beach chairs that we walked to the beach with. The beach near the house was not busy. There is a Publix 4 minutes down the road. If we ever come back to Fort Myers Beach, we are staying here again!

Wonderful week of vacation

My Husband and I had a wonderful, relaxing week of vacation here in April. The house is clean well equipped, and we loved the pool and spa, we were in a few times a day. The neighborhood is quiet, and close to town, the beach (nice sunset walks on the beach). Everything in the house was in excellent working order, pool nice warm temperature. The house could easily have another couple or a few kids extra, more than enough space for 2 people. We would have loved to stay longer!

Beautiful home - Great Host

This home was VERY clean and had everything we needed. The host was very flexible and allowed me to change my check in and out dates based on my flight change. She was quick to respond if we had any questions. The pool and hot tub was a huge hit with my kids. Would not have changed a thing. I highly recommend this home and if we come back to Ft Myers we will be sure to see if this home is available again.

We loved our stay at the Canal Home on Shell Mound

My selection of this property was based on the numerous favorable reviews and we were not disappointed. The house is as-advertised: close to the main center of town and a very short walk to the gulf and the beach. There was a perfect amount of space for the six of us, and places for us to dine-in, play cards and lounge around the house. The house was clean and the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. Loved the outside pool area with lanai that provided a break from the afternoon sun! Keep your eyes and ears open for dolphins and manatees in the canal! We've made several trips to Fort Myers Beach over the years and are so happy the area is coming back from the devastating hurricanes a few years ago.

Christmas 20024

This is an awesome property. Walking distance to the beach. The pool and hot tub were wonderful. The host was very friendly and responsive. Only thing I would add is a grill on back patio. The best way to get around FMB is by walking, biking, or E-bikes. Golf cart are good but traffic gets really bad in the afternoons. I highly recommend this property. Hopefully we will get to rent it again soon!

I was traveling with friends and we thought Maria’s home was great. Communication was very good. The house is clean and exactly as the pictures show. The distance to the beach was down the road and across the street, We loved watching the iguanas walk across the cement ledge outside of the lanai. Pool and spa are excellent. The minor things we noticed were a pocket door to the primary bedroom which made it feel a little less private. There were 3 girls and we all shared one blow dryer. The area is still in heavy construction which was expected. We were able to find enough restaurants for our meals and long walks on the beach. Due to the month we stayed we encountered a problem with No-see-ums. I did not react to them but my 2 friends had a bad reaction to the bug bites. Be prepared to have bug spray to prevent a possible reaction.

Stay Here!

This steps-from-the-beach family ranch-style home in Fort Myers Beach is awesome! Six of us thoroughly enjoyed the owners' 3-bedroom beautifully furnished and clean accommodations, along with a relaxing lanai with saltwater pool and hot tub along the canal. Owners Maria and Ralph are very responsive to questions and offered great suggestions and tips. There are plenty of linens, towels, beach towels, beach chairs/umbrellas/toys, pool toys, 4 adult/2 kids bicycles, a grill, and the kitchen is well-stocked with everything you need to make meals, although there are so many wonderful restaurants nearby! There are TVs (with cable) in each bedroom, hair dryers in each bathroom, and comfy seating throughout! With a handy washer and dryer in the 2-car garage, you won't need to pack many clothes! The Estero Blvd. construction should be finished soon, and the air-conditioned Trolley is still 75 cents/ride--or you can purchase day/week passes. If we can get our family schedules coordinated soon, we'll be looking to reserve another week -- that is, if you haven't already reserved it!
