Loved the covered parking and the ease of access to the unit. Everything was very clean, and while there was some minor maintenance happening during our stay, it mostly took place during times of the day that created very little disturbance to our coming and going. The beach was lovely, and navigating Ft. Myers Beach was quite easy. The only negative would be the distance to the water. Will definitely keep this location in mind for future travel!!!!

great sunrises and sunsets

this location was ideal for us because it was quiet and secluded but just a short dive to the great restaurants. the south-facing view provided amazing views of sunrises AND sunsets. shells, shells, and more shells! we also enjoyed watching the boats in and out of the bay. it was a bit of a haul through the sand to the water, but gorgeous once there! could barely hear the waves crashing from the patio. overall a great place!

Thanks holly. Appreciate your thoughts. Folks wonder why it wasn’t built 10 feet from the water since there is only sand in between. To be sure 20 years ago the water was 10 steps from the door. Shifting tidal sands make the waters edge 300 steps today. Glad you enjoyed the stay. though.

Rooms with a View- Most Incredible View

We enjoyed our time here tremendously. Super quiet, relaxing place and the beachfront is incredible! It’s a walk from condo to water but well worth it. The hosts were accessible at all times and helpful. Place was very neat and has all amenities. Clean, however, needs a good spring cleaning. Also, one of the closets in a bedroom was not accessible and front door sticks at times. Other than these few things this is an awesome place. Truly, a little bit of heaven and our weather was excellent!!

Beautiful condo, perfect location

I booked a spontaneous trip with my mom to celebrate my birthday and came across this condo. It's in a very nice location and close to many restaurants. We ended up renting the cabanas from Barbie on the beach. She let us know where to look for dolphins, stingrays, told us about good restaurants and much more. I got a video of a dolphin right on the shore! Al and Lisa found out it was my birthday and called me and sang happy birthday to me! They made sure we had everything we needed and were super nice! We are already looking into booking our next trip back in July! You won't be disappointed with this condo. The beach and pool were never packed and there are so many cool seashells!

Relaxing, Enjoyable & Refreshing

We had a great experience with this ideal get away location. The owner, Ray Ruddy, was easy to get a hold of and very responsive. His property managers Alan & Lisa did a great also! Any time a needed something I could text them and within a very short period of time they provided the answers and assistance I needed. The place was right on the beach which was awesome and just over the bridge to Lovers Key. When we got to the apartment there was bottle of complimentary wine, bottled water and coffee. I have stayed many places and while a small token of appreciation that went a long way. The residence was in good working order and was properly stocked with needed materials and supplies. My wife and two kids had a blast and I would recommend this property to others.

Well equipped and maintained condo, excellent location

We stayed here in 2019 and planned to go again in 2020. That sadly did not happen. Needless to say after two years without a vacation we were looking forward to it and we were not disappointed. This condo is well equipped for your needs. It is far enough away from the center of things to be quiet yet close enough to provide covenant access to anything you may need. The check in was seamless and the property manager checked in with us the following day to make sure all was well. The 11 check out time is nice, no mad rush to leave. The property is set back from they gulf but there are nice chairs and tables right by the building to enjoy the fresh air. There is a small pool to cool yourself off in when needed. If you want to go to the waters edge it is a short walk and there is a beach cart in the condo to carry your belongings down there. The only issue I had is the pans are all stainless, I suggest bringing a nonstick pan with you to help with cooking. We are planning on two weeks next year instead of one. It is a great place.

Great location,quiet end of the island. Beautiful balcony view.

I wish every owner of a condo would spend a few days at their place and be objective about its comfort/appeal. You can’t always rely on just a great view. While the unit had some updated aspects which were very nice, and I know the owner has a great deal of pride in his place, there were several issues that we found to be negative. The first being both beds were so uncomfortable my husband had to sleep on the floor. I managed to avoid the sinking area of the mattress in the master. The guest room was worse. This was not just a less firm mattress, but maybe twenty years old and just done. Invest in sleep number and everyone can adjust to his liking. I also thought the kitchen cabinets inside and out needed deep clean. They looked pretty gritty. The bath and kitchen linens also need replacement. The tub stopper was not working so I couldn’t take a bath like I do often. I always say it’s the little things that make anything stand apart from the rest. The unit was clean and the management company very nice and considerate of our schedule.

Response from VrboOwner on 23 Mar, 2020
Thank you for your thoughtful comments. I will be there myself for a full week, 26 days from today, but who is counting? We certainly do try to manage the little things & hoping you enjoyed the complementary wine and new beach chairs. We bought all new linens just at the end of last season, but were told to buy less expensive linens since they were so plush they clogged the drier. Please be sure, the mattresses are exactly 1 year old. I bought the condo 2 years ago and replaced everything last year when I renovated the entire place. If new mattresses need to be repurchased, I certainly will - this was my first complaint on that topic. If any guest has a request like a lost bath tub stopper, the caretakers would have definitely run out and delivered it to you. I truly am sorry you didn't enjoy the accommodations.

Great condo terrible location

The condo was as the owner said beautiful. The pics of beach area were deceiving. It had not been maintained and was unusable. We were only there for a few hours. Ended up going to Point Estero Condos. Did not get any compensation from the owner. As our visit was the week before hurricane Ian I pray that this property was not damaged too severely. I also pray for the property manager, Anna & her family that they are all doing well. She was very sweet to work with.

Quiet Fall getaway

The unit was super and had everything we needed for a relaxing week. It’s a long walk to the beach but it’s natural and secluded. September is very quiet on the island and everything was easy to do - Lover’s Key, Bonita Beach, Captiva, and all the bars/restaurants had no waiting. The property manager was very responsive and helpful (or would have been if we had needed anything!) Thank you!

Property and surrounding area were beautiful! View of the ocean from the condo was breathtaking!! Great location and easy to get to Naples, Bonita Springs, Fort Myers etc from here. Pool is small but not a big deal since we were off at the beach or doing other activities. Restaurants at the north end of island are fantastic and within waking distance from each other. Lots of on the water options for seating too! Beds were comfortable, newly updated bathrooms were functional and gorgeous!! Condo has everything you need other than groceries. Owner and caretaker responsive within minutes!!! A definite plan to come back here again!!

Great stay!

We were happy we stayed at the south end of the island for a little more peace and quiet. The view, the beach, the sunsets, the pool (warm) were all wonderful. The care takers were helpful and responsive. Unit is on the end and was clean (inside of drawers could have been wiped down, but no biggie at all). The beach is a walk, but so pretty. My 5yo was able to swim a little when the water was calmer. Lots of shelling to do. Had everything we needed. Would stay again!
