About this apartment rental
**Please be advised that the pool at Santa Maria is currently out of service, and there is no estimated reopening date. Thank you for your understanding.
There’s so much to love about Santa Maria II 301: the convenient location on a canal just a few minutes’ walk to the beach; the complex’s lovingly maintained grounds, which include what some say is Fort Myers Beach’s best pool; the condo’s spacious layout and comfortable furnishings. When you stay here, a fabulous time is all but guaranteed.
A 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom unit overlooking a marina, Santa Maria II 301 is tailor-made for a family vacation. The primary bedroom includes a king-size bed you’ll love sprawling out on, whether it’s to watch TV, surf the web via the free WiFi, read, or yes, sleep. This room has its own private bathroom. The 2nd bedroom, furnished with a pair of twin beds and another TV, offers plenty of space for the kids to spread out with their toys and games. The 3rd bedroom can sleep 2 more people, in a trundle beneath a daybed and on a sofa that opens into another bed. These bedrooms share the 2nd bathroom, which includes a combination shower/tub. One thing you’ll notice about both bathrooms and all 3 bedrooms is the wealth of storage—you don’t have to live out of a suitcase at Santa Maria II 301.
The spacious, sunny living area is just the sort of place you want to unwind in after a day of swimming, cycling, hiking, or fishing. The leather sectional sofa is so comfortable! There’s more than enough room for everyone to nestle on the couch and watch a movie on the flat-screen TV with cable, play charades, or plan the next day’s adventures. Even if you’re all too tired after your busy day to do much more than read or doze, you can do it together—and isn’t that what a family vacation is all about?
Meals provide more opportunities for family togetherness. Numerous restaurants are within walking distance, but sometimes it’s more fun (and more affordable) to eat in. Besides, having a full kitchen at your disposal is one of the greatest advantages of staying in a condo rather than a hotel. Santa Maria II 301’s kitchen includes all the appliances, cookware, and tableware you’ll need, even if you’re hosting a Thanksgiving feast.
Santa Maria II 301 has an indoor dining table that seats 6. You can also dine on the unit’s screened-in balcony, which overlooks a canal leading out to Estero Bay. While you sit at the balcony’s table for 4 you can watch boats float past—and maybe you’ll spy some of the friendly dolphins and manatees said to frequent the waters. Because the balcony has its own ceiling fan, you can sit out here with a book and a frosty drink even during the heat of midsummer.
You can also dine alfresco at the condo complex’s grill areas, which feature tables and chairs as well as gas grills. Whether it’s steak from the nearby shop or fish you reeled in yourself, it’ll taste even better when eating outside among the salt-kissed sea breeze. You can walk off your meal with a stroll along the canal docks, where you might see those dolphins and manatees up close. Perhaps the highlight of Santa Maria’s grounds, however, is its heated swimming pool. After your swim, laze on a poolside chaise and let the whispering of the wind through the palm trees lull you to sleep. Just be sure to apply your sunscreen before you drift off!
Given that Santa Maria is less than a 5-minute walk to the pristine white beach and the turquoise Gulf of Mexico, you might run out of time to spend by the pool. At the beach you can swim, paddleboard, parasail, canoe, kayak, race jet skis, collect seashells, and watch some truly spectacular sunsets.
Also close by are Lovers Key State Park, golf courses, the island’s Times Square area… the list goes on and on. One thing’s for sure: When you stay at Santa Maria II 301, you’ll never be bored. Book your stay today and get ready to make memories that will last a lifetime.

I had envisioned a care free stay, but that is not what we received. The code did not work to get in (and it was pouring out) after many phone calls, someone came to open the door about 2 hours later. We then only had 1 key, We needed more. The Maintenace guy did not have any ID or name tag. When he came to get the key to make copies. The air did not work well, never got below 75 in the bedrooms. The water smelled terrible!!! We had to go buy gallons of water to drink, cook with and bath in, we did not get a response on that for a few days. We had to run the water for about 20 minutes, during this time we had to go outside as it smelled so bad. It did clear it up. I did read the message about the limit they provide of TB/papertowels, but I thought they would have more than a 1/2 of roll available. I dont know if it has been a while since they rented, but the floor was dirty, we all had black feet, dust on dressers.
We were glad to enjoy and support the community on the rebuilding of the community. But would not rent from them again.

Very nice complex just across the street from the beach. Worth the 10 minute walk to have such a spacious condo. It was very clean and had most everything we needed, but I would say the pots and pans could use some updating! Probably most people just visit the great restaurants in the plaza next door. Also, kind of odd that there aren’t more beach towels. We were driving so we brought our own. The pool was pretty spacious (although a little too warm as Florida pools tend to be in the summer) and we enjoyed the hot tub. Beds were plentiful and comfortable, there are no blackout curtains in the main bedrooms so they get very bright and warm in the mornings, but that makes for a beautiful evening on the screened in patio! Would definitely stay again and have already recommended to friends.

Condo was perfect for 6 adults. Kitchen was well stocked with pans, utensils, dishes etc. Location next to plaza was great, there's about four restaurants in the plaza.

This condo had not been cleaned. There are fur balls all over. My great granddaughter came to visit. So disgusting. Televisions sucked. Such a shame. I’m at least hoping the sheets were cleaned before our arrival. Total bust. I have tons of photos.

Overall, very good. Property was clean and as advertised. Location is terrific if you prefer a more quiet location. Several restaurants within walking distance and the beach is close by. Pool is nice as well. Be sure to stop at the store on your way to the condo as very few essentials are provided.

Nice unit, good location, and very clean however the AC did not work when we checked in. Called the property management and finally got someone over to look at the AC a day later. The next day, we came back to the unit and there was a horrible electrical smell. Called the Fire Department and all they could figure out was possibly the AC unit. Called the property management and nothing was done and had to deal with this horrible electrical smell in the unit for the remainder of the trip.

Clean. Affordable. Good location. The disappointing part was was almost zero kitchen and bathroom supplies. A very small bar of soap at each bathroom sink, 1 (maybe) full roll of toilet paper in each bathroom. No hand soap at all. No dish detergent. We knew there would not be a weeks’ worth of supplies but that was ridiculous. Everything we went out to purchase-,we took with us because there was nothing there to really start with.
Otherwise- clean.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this property. It was exactly as described so there were no surprises, all communication was quick and clear, and the location is perfect. We will not hesitate to stay here again and again!

I didn´t know what to expect because this apartment was one of the few we could find with 3 bedrooms and it had a really low rate. The experience was better than what I was expecting. We had a great time with my parents in law and husband.
This apartment was perfect for a Family Trip. Well equipped with ample rooms, great spaces and low rate.
Convenient location. Close to a Mall with restaurants and shops. Walk to the beach is not easy, we were lucky to find other visitors who explain us which entrance we could use, because most properties by the beach have no public access. It would have been nice to know that visitors at Santa Maria could enter the beach by an specific entrance on the check in information. We walked twice and also found out that the windham hotel allows to park and access the beach.
Check in was easy and contactless, Apartment was clean, well equipped and fresh. The building has good services (elevator, parking , pool, bbqs, marina views). Beds were comfortable and it was an overall good place.
There ants in the kitchen area, so we have to store all food in the fridge, but I guess that might be normal in the area.

Quiet and relaxing location very close to the beach. Not on the "busy" end of the island, but has plenty of restaurants nearby.

Very nice, clean. Plenty of kitchen appliances and supplies. Location was great. Could have used more toilet paper, paper towels, detergent and garbage bags. TV in one of the rooms didn’t work but that was fine as we aren’t big TV people. Would definitely stay there again

It was clean, comfortable, and close to the beach, shopping, and restaurants! We had a tricky time finding public access to the beach. We tried going directly across the street. But, Paul Blart was on duty and shut that down. On our second day there we realized the Wyndam Hotel (where Pinchers is, also a GIANT American flag flies out front) allows access. Plus, there are chairs to rent out there. I'd definitely stay in this unit again!

We had a great stay in the unit for the week. Check-in was easy. Unit was very clean and conveniently located next to Santini Marina Plaza with cute shops and restaurants. The trolley stops at entrance of the complex. Publix is a couple miles away.
The property manager was wonderful to work with on the only issue that came up. No hot water on the first night, but it was fixed the next morning. It was practically 100 degrees earlier in the day, so one cold shower wasn’t a big deal for us.
My one suggestion is to add more beach gear - towels, umbrella, beach cart, and lighter chairs. It’s a bit of a haul without a cart to assist. No big deal, since I traveled with my own beach tent, but for others possibly an issue. Overall, we had a great stay.

Very Rude Owner
Owner was arrogant and rude. After arriving, he Estes to call him if we needed anything. The place and no toilet paper or Kleenex. He lived 2 Doors, we asked him if we could have paper products that would be adequate for our stay. He rudely replied that this wasn't a hotel room. Unbelievable that after paying what we did per night we couldn't get toilet paper or Kleenex. Also the VRBO customer service was horrible. We'll rent from a private owner directly next time
And it won't be Mel!
