We stayed at the end of March for a week for Spring Break. It was my wife, three daughters (8, 10, 12), and myself. We had a blast! LaVaun was great and easy to work with and communicate with. You could tell she and her husband take great pride in this house. The location was fantastic. There is so much to do in Fort Myers. We were out and about exploring every day. It was fantastic. You have to leave in the morning for the beach if you don't want to get stuck in beach traffic, but I'm sure that's anywhere. If you avoid the traffic, you're at the beach in no time. The house is close to groceries, restaurants, shopping, etc. It's in a quiet, residential, gated community, so our girls riding bikes (two provided) and walks was no worry at all.
The owners provide plenty of toys for the pool and beach as well as chairs, umbrella, coolers, ice packs, condiments, dvds, towels, paper products, laundry detergent, etc. They also provided a very thoughtful welcome gift. Thus, one only needs to worry about what clothes to bring and what you want to eat or drink, because this house has everything else.
The house itself is very well taken care of. The heated pool area was perfect for swimming daily as we did. Our girls especially loved it. The bedrooms are all very efficient, and the master is quite nice as is the master bath and walk-in closet. The kitchen is well set up and stocked well with utensils, dishes and pots and pans. The living room is the perfect place to gather as we enjoyed a couple movie nights. We even used the garage to park, so that was also a major plus to keep the car cool.
I think the biggest thing that I liked about LaVaun and Rod's place was that they treated you like adults. They didn't nickel and dime you for everything; they trusted that you would take care of their house as responsible adults. Don't go crazy with the electricity, and it is included in the price. Clean up after yourselves and respect their property and the security deposit gets back to you quickly in full. Pretty simple concept really. All in all, a great place that we would definitely stay at again and highly recommend! For the price, I don't think you could do any better.
