Breathtaking Gulf View from the 11th Floor!

Many thanks for your review. We're happy to hear that you enjoyed our condo and pool. The new beach renourishment will be a great improvement for us beach lovers. We remain appreciative of how much work our condo management team has done to get us re-opened after Hurricane Ian. Thank you for visiting our island paradise.

Thank you for your feedback and for staying with us. We're very sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations, and we truly appreciate your honesty. Regarding the view: Our condo is indeed a corner unit with panoramic views — the front window faces the Gulf directly, and the lanai offers both Gulf and beautiful Back Bay views. Most guests describe the view as stunning, and we’re sorry if the angle from the balcony wasn’t what you had expected. We’ll revisit our listing description to ensure it’s as clear and accurate as possible. We also sincerely apologize for the cleanliness issue you encountered. Our regular cleaner was on vacation that week, and a substitute stepped in. This clearly didn’t meet our standards, and we've already addressed the situation to ensure it doesn’t happen again. We’re glad to hear that you found the condo comfortable, especially the reclining couch and relaxing setup. We appreciate your feedback and are always striving to improve. Thank you again for staying with us. Warm regards, Peggy, Linda and Mike Owner, 11th Floor Gulf-Front Condo

Many thanks for taking the time to write a review. We're so glad you enjoyed our condo. While there has been a lot of progress getting our island back to normal after Hurricane Ian, we still have a way to go. Thankfully, our complex has re-opened, beach renourishment is nearing completion, and our pool is open. Like you, we become frustrated with long lines of traffic toward Times Square. We tend to go earlier in the afternoon when we want to enjoy restaurants near Times Square like Snug Harbor, Doc Ford's and Dixie Fish. We've also found it a lot easier to drive south out of EBTC toward Bonita Springs. There we can enjoy Flipper's Restaurant at Lover's Key Resort, Fish House and Coconut Jack's. We were excited to learn that a new ice cream shop at Santini Plaza (across the street) has opened and they serve breakfast items and sandwiches. We can't wait for other expected restaurants to open there in the near future. Thank you for choosing our island beach condo.

Many thanks for responding about your recent stay at our condo. We are glad to know you found everything you needed. It sounds like you were very ambitious -- not only enjoying the great view from our 11th floor lanai, but also kayaking and biking! What a great way to make yourselves at home on the island!! We're also pleased to know you took advantage of our Wi-Fi access and many nearby restaurants. Peggy, Linda and Mike

Thank you so much for renting our condo and for your kind comments. In the VRBO description of our condo, we try to prepare renters for the ongoing construction work at our complex and on the island. Although so much work has been completed since the hurricane, we’re also surprised each time we visit that so much construction continues. We learned today that our pool is ready for inspection. There are improvements each day. Fortunately, our regular excellent housekeeper is back on duty!! Thanks again for visiting Ft. Myers Beach during this rebuilding phase. We’ll keep updating our description on VRBO so renters are aware of the progress and the construction. Thank you for your review. Mike, Linda, and Peggy

We really appreciate that you took the time to submit your review! So pleased you enjoyed your vacation! We loved hearing from you and your photos during your stay! Thanks, Mike, Linda and Peggy

We're so glad you enjoyed the sunrises and sunsets from our condo! We also enjoy the view from the 11th floor, the proximity of Sanibel Island & Captiva and Lover's Key. And there are so many excellent restaurants nearby. Thank you for letting us know how you enjoyed your stay. Peggy, Linda and Mike

Thank you so much for taking the time to describe your recent stay at our condo. We just returned from the condo ourselves and enjoyed another wonderful week at Ft. Myers Beach. Thanks for your kind and gracious words to us; thank you for your helpful words to future renters. Thanks for making yourselves at home in our condo. We sure hope you will be able to return!! Peggy, Linda and Mike

“We ABSOLUTELY loved this condo!” “The views were spectacular and the location was perfect.” “...the property was as described and pictured.” Thank you, Kerry, for taking time to review our condo and EBT. We regret that your impressions were not positive like those described above by other recent renters. Out of 56 reviews, the great majority of renters enjoy staying in our condo - VRBO rating remains 4.9/5. We’d like to address and hopefully clarify items you raised. By the way, we’re always looking for ways to improve our unit so thank you for your suggestions. LOCATION: “...the word ‘beachfront’ describes a property that has some type of ocean view with the additional benefit of immediate access to a sandy beach along the water’s edge" (from azcentral). Our unit is beachfront, literally 100 steps from our building to the beach. Our corner unit offers some view of the Gulf and a more panoramic view of the Back Bay. From our living area window, you look directly at the Gulf. AMENITIES: There is a grill right in front of our building, not far from the entrance, & additional grills near the tennis courts. We’ve never seen people waiting to use the grill nor have we heard this as an issue from previous renters. We updated our VRBO listing - washer and dryers are coin-operated/shared. The pool is located a short distance away near the building next to ours. We've never seen it overcrowded in off-peak season. We're sorry you felt crowded. We stayed in our unit the week following your stay and the pool was not overcrowded. ​There have never been two pools. Each condo in the EBT buildings has a window AC unit. Our AC unit is 2 yrs old and serviced yearly. We used the unit the week after you visited and it functioned efficiently. We’ll check into changing the lights in the bathroom. 3 LEVELS OF SECURITY: (1) building code is changed quarterly; (2) code for renters on the electronic lock on our unit is changed according to our protocol - we do not share publicly for the safety of our renters. There is a note below the lock reminding renters to lock the door behind them; (3) a security guard patrols the grounds and checks each floor a couple times daily which helps everyone feel safe. Kerry, thanks again for taking the time to add your comments. We encourage future renters to contact us directly if you have any questions or concerns after reading Kerry’s review and our response. We love our Ft. Myers Beach condo. It is our paradise.
