Exceeded Expectations
This was our first experience with a vacation rental. We were very happy with the ease of securing the rental and the check in process. They made everything easy for us to understand. The rental was perfect for our family of 5. The location was just right. It was close enough to many attractions and restaurants, but far enough away to provide private family time. The owner provided suggestions of places to see and to eat. We followed most of his suggestions and were not disappointed. This vacation rental helped to provide us with a wonderful week long family vacation.

beautiful condo with fabulous view of Gulf
My sister and I were pleased with the condo and view; I did not realize though, that going through the condo complex itself would have been quite a bit less expensive; also the elevators broke down three times during our week's stay, which was difficult for my sister who uses a walker and we were on the fourth floor.

Thank you for the wonderful stay at your Condo in Paradise. Smugglers Cove is our favorite place to stay in Ft Myers Beach and once again we weren't disappointed. From the view off the lanai to sitting and listening to the water to walking on the beach, we couldn't ask for more. The condo itself was very well decorated and comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.

Happy family memories to be treasured forever!
I wondered how this space would work for a family with children, versus just a couple, but figured we could cope with anything for a week - at least we'd be at the beach! This condo was perfect!!! More than one of us may or may not have cried when we had to leave. The views are absolutely unparalleled - we spent SO much time out on the lanai. Ideal for early, quiet mornings with coffee and a book by myself and also plenty of space for family dinner al fresco and card games all together! The condo was also perfectly set up for cozy family movie nights and good nights of sleep for all - very comfortable and clean, with everything you need for cooking or grilling your own meals. We also have never had such easy and quick access to get right onto the soft sand and into the ocean and the kids loved the pool. Our experience was that it was very quiet and not at all crowded. Check-in was a breeze, so that we could get right to the beach, and the owner was exceptionally responsive and helpful - even leading us to the best ice cream we have ever had (do NOT miss Love Boat ice cream!). The kids are growing up heartbreakingly fast and I'm so grateful to have these memories together. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend!

Great condo
Overall, this was perfect for our family. Both bedrooms and bathrooms were adequate enough. It was nice to have a full size kitchen and a pullout sofa for extra sleeping. The mattress on the pullout could use some updating but it wouldn’t deter me from staying again. The people above were the worst part of our stay as they moved their chairs/furniture around constantly until the early morning hours but this isn’t something the owner has any control over. I would recommend this property especially for the price point and what you get at the price verses other options in the area.

Very communicative
The beach was beautiful and the condo was exactly as pictured. We loved the screened-in balcony so we could sit and listen to the gulf bug-free. We had a small issue mid-week, and the owner bent over backwards to get the issue resolved, faster than I could have done at my own house. It was a great week!

Location was great! Beach was not crowded at all. Condo was prefect
Condo was prefect! Beautiful view. In the middle of the strip so not as busy in this area. No problem getting a spot on the beach. Great place for family with teenagers(not as much skin exposure). Found lots of shells anytime of the day. Would definitely come back here. Thanks for a great relaxing week!

Right on beach!
Check in was a breeze, condo was clean and well stocked for basic cooking. Beds were very comfortable. Beach is beautiful, clean, and full of beautiful seashells. Kids loved finding new seashells everyday. Pool was amazing, clean, and cool even in the 90° heat. Parking lot was always clean and close to elevator. Thank you for sharing your home with my family for the week. Hope to rent again in the near future.

Right on the Beach!
We really enjoyed our stay at Smugglers Cove and the chance to get away from a Minnesota winter. The location was perfect for stepping out the door and walking the beach or getting a lawn chair to sit on the private grass facing the water. We loved our Happy Hour sunsets on the lanai and tended to stay in for dinner since getting groceries from Publix was so convenient. My only issue was the pots and pans and other cooking utensils should be replaced and added to. But the Kreig coffee maker was great!

Wonderful beach
The location of this condo is perfect - so near the beach and with the screens on the patio and windows and door, we could listen to the surf all night long! It was also nice to have beach chairs and beach towels available to use. Master bed is very comfortable. Pool was heated. Quiet location was a plus compared to the north by all the restaurants, etc. It's one of the best "walking beaches" we've been on. The only problem was they were having difficulty with the elevator our week. We were able to walk the steps but I'm guessing that wasn't true for some of the elderly. All in all it was a great week.

Overall great vacation
The condo was just the right size and fully equipped with everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable which is very unusual in rentals. The view of the gulf is fantastic and we saw dolphins every day on our beach walks. I would highly recommend this condo to anyone wanting to stay on Fort Myers Beach.

Beach location is great! The condo was very clean and it is convenient property staff on site.
We saw an abundance of sea life. Washer and dryer are on main level. They are nice, but that is a bit inconvenient. Overall had a good time and enjoyed our stay.

Older unit with updates in a great location
Overall, we loved staying here. The view is wonderful and the beach was not very crowded. We have stayed in Destin, FL many times in the past and got sick of the crowds. It was nice not having to battle for a spot next to the water. Even on the 4th of July, it was not very crowded.
We saw dolphins every day except for one during our 1 week stay. We saw hundreds of star fish, a few conchs and hermit crabs, and even a sting ray. The water is not as clear as Destin, but it was still nice.
The condo is within walking distance to the grocery store, which was a benefit. Not too many restaurants within walking distance, but within a short ride.
We never used the pool as we spent our time on the beach. There were also grills and sittings areas outside over looking the beach. Someone was grilling every day.
We only had a few criticisms. With limited counter space in the bath rooms, I wish the sink bowls were smaller. We also noticed the blender was not very clean. It was obvious that past tenants did not take the pitcher apart to wash it after they used it. Also, one of the outside chairs seating surface was falling apart These are all minor items and we truly enjoyed our stay in unit 4B5. Our family of three fit fine in this condo and we would stay here again.

I just got back from a wonderful stay at your condo in Smuggler's Cove. The Condo was immaculate and had all of the comforts of home. I traveled lightly and went to the beach and swimming pool every day and evening. It was a nice surprise that towels and lounge chairs were also included, along with all of the other necessities, to make my vacation a breeze.
I especially liked the fact that the lanai faced the gulf and it was screened in. It was so relaxing to eat food there and not have to worry about bugs and mosquitoes. I also cooked out one day on the grills that are furnished for the guests at the condo. Fun! Eating in restaurants was also a blast. The Captain's Boat House. Carraba's in Bonita Springs. The Sand Bar. Too many to list. I tried a different restaurant for every meal eaten out. I would definitely recommend your condo to friends and relatives. Thanks for being so attentive to detail.
I wouldn't hesitate to stay at Smuggler's Cove again in the future. Thank you for a fantastic vacation.

Wonderful condo in a great location. We spent our school vacation break enjoying in the beach front location. We have 2 high school aged kids, who enjoyed having a second bedroom and the freedom to go back and forth to the beach any time. We had no traffic issues, which we hear can be more of a challenge during high season. We had a few rainy days and appreciated the board games that you have tucked away - and also went to Publix and rented movies. The TV's are great - and enough so that everyone can watch what they want! We rented bikes in Sanibel - an easy, flat ride and very reasonable. Mini golf was a bit expensive at $10 per person, but fun at Jungle Golf. Condo was well appointed and had everything we needed. Sun Harvest (where you buy oranges and grapefruit) has great $2 soft serve ice cream - a best buy! We are sailors so we rented a hobie cat in Bonita Springs Beach at Doc's. The wind is strong in the afternoon and we had a great ride. Lots to do in the area - and hanging out at the condo walking the beach in the morning is great - and we saw porpoises from the screened in patio too! Thanks for a great week! I would highly recommend to friends and family!

We just spent our third consectutive spring break in Steve's condo. The updates (new flat screen tv's, new counter tops in kitchen and bath, lighting, front and screen door) were great. The property is quiet and well maintained including the laundry area, gas grills, pool and shuffleboard, and stairwells. The screened in porch is the best for early morning dolphin-watching with a cup of coffee or watching a fabulous sunset and card games in the evenings. The beach is relaxing and beautiful and the location is perfect. We will be back again the same week next year!

We stayed here in March 2009 with two adults and two college students. It was a convenient location on a beautiful section of beach, away from the noisy and congested "Times Square" area of Fort Myers Beach. Condo was nicely equipped, clean, and well maintained. We especially liked the patio and master bedroom overlooking the Gulf for ocean views and sounds. Shuffleboard was also a fun outdoor activity. We would stay here again if we have occasion to visit Fort Myers Beach. Two area restaurants that we recommend are The Boat House (more casual) and South Beach Grille (wonderful seafood and other entrees), both a little bit south of Smuggler's Cove condos.

My family stayed at Steve's condo over the winter break and it was everything he said it was. The link to his personal website sold me and when we opened the door, it was just as we pictured. 5 Stars to you Steve
