About this house rental

UPDATE - Post Hurricane Ian. The island has been impacted by the hurricane and continues to rebuild daily. Our property has been repaired and is fully operational and open for rentals. Large, open floor plan allows for wonderful family time. From the photos the house looks like a duplex but it is all one private home with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and screened porch. Located just minutes from Lovers Key State Park and Dog Beach, your very own private villa awaits. The home has a large heated private pool, overlooking a quiet canal where some of our guests have watched manatees and dolphins playing near the dock. Both the front and back yards are fenced, and we are a dog friendly property. Enjoy relaxing in the pool, or sitting at the wet bar in your own island paradise. You can walk to one of Florida’s most beautiful beaches, just a 5 min walk (3-4 blocks) from your home. As business rebuild on the island, more and more restaurants and bars will open. For updates on the post hurricane recovery, you can check the Ft Myers Beach website or contact us for an update. STR # 21-0175

We had a great time. The property is great. We loved the pool. We were too lazy to go to the beach but it looked like it was close. Property is well maintained and had everything we needed.

We spent 5 weeks here and loved it! Great location, amazing pool and canal, comfortable and well-equipped house. Fenced yard for our dog, great neighborhood for walking. As the island rebuilds from Ian, be prepared for construction noise (we were happy to hear it). We’re returning in 3 months, and would rent again without hesitation during season (someone beat us to it for 2025, but we’ll be watching for 2026!)

We had such a great time here & the house had everything we needed. Especially loved the pool area - spent many hours hanging out in this space. We did manage to see one dolphin in the canal, and enjoyed watching the osprey who lived in a neighboring tree. I walked to the beach almost every morning (about 10 minutes from house to the water line) & felt very blessed because I usually had the beach to myself!! Russell was always on "standby" and answered any questions we had within a few minutes. The only thing missing was a refrigerator for the pool area. : ) Would definitely stay again.

Owners were super easy to deal with. Location is good, about a 4 block walk to the beach. Still lots of devastation from Hurricane Ian, so not much open on the island and no one was on the beaches, so if you are looking for a quiet get away, this place is great!

This house is great, plenty of outdoor space, plenty of indoor space. Pool was great, wet bar, lower fridge, grill, all fantastic. The manatee’s in the canal were amazing and we watched them daily. We found that a drive to the free parking at the Bonita Springs beaches were a much better beach option than the deeded access or than paying for parking at public access on Estero. We would stay again!

This home is wonderful! They have so many extras like pool floats, fishing poles, beach chairs and a beach wagon. They have lots of plates and silverware which is helpful for larger families. And a million towels!! We loved watching the manatees each day in the canal. The host was great with communication and super helpful with information about the house and area. We would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful Place and a Great Host!!!

Beautiful Place and a Great Host!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the “Sand Dollar”. This was our family’s first VRBO experience and it lived up to everything we hoped for 15 min drive to the heart of Fort Meyers Beach (Times Square ,Pier) or a 5 minute walk to a more quiet portion of the beach whatever we wanted it was right there for us. Several days we hung out by the beautiful pool and watched manatee all day. House was great , perfect set up for coffee in the morning on screened in porch and a bar near the grills for dinner at pool level. Rusty our host was super responsive and a pleasure to deal with. Our only concern was that it appears he is a Buckeye fan and we bleed Wolverines blue….Thanks Rusty!!!

Comfortable and spacious.

The house suited our needs well and was open and spacious for our group of 2 couples and 3 preschoolers. We enjoyed the pool area with lounge chairs and watching the manatees in the canal. The screen porch was also very enjoyable. Beds were comfortable. Cart, chairs, beach toys provided. Walk was a little farther to the beach than we anticipated for the children. It's not far as the crow flies, but you have to go around the canal.

This home is perfect. So quiet and peaceful. Close to the beach and Bonita Dog Park. We appreciate the honesty that Patti and Rusty provided about recent renovation work that had not yet been completed to the pool area. Everything was still usable and operational and they were sure to inform us before checking in.

Great Family Vacation

We loved the unit. The children loved the pool. We saw Manatee and iguanas. We ate coconut from one of the coconuts that fell from the tree. We also brought a kayak and kayaked right off the dock from the back of the house. The back screened porch was great for board games and cards after the kids went to sleep. The whole family loved this house!

Great stay on Ft Myers Beach

Great stay on Ft Myers Beach

We just got back from our Ft Myers Beach vacation and our whole family is talking about when we can go back. This rental had everything that we needed in a great location. It was at the south end of the island (which was great since the traffic at the North end was terrible). We saw a family of manatees in the water behind the house and there were green iguanas all over the place. My kids loved it. We can't wait to visit again.

Great house and location

Great house and location

House was great. Fenced in yard was perfect for dogs. Back porch and covered are by pool were very nice places to relax. Thoroughly enjoyed staying on south end of island away from tourist hotspots and getting on/off the island via Bonita Springs. Beach was an easy walk. Gulf Boulevard was under construction (noise, bumpy bypass road, not walk/bike friendly) but should be great when they are done.

South End of Ft Meters Beach—Beautiful location!

South End of Ft Meters Beach—Beautiful location!

For our family, being on the south end of the island and close to the state park, dog park, kayak rentals, Fish Tale Marina for boat rental and easy access to Naples, was PERFECT! Beaches, shelling, boating, floating in the swimming pool and watching manatees behind the house in the canal was just right! For these Central Floridians it was great!!!

My family had a wonderful time staying at this property! The house was clean and the layout of the house was just like the pictures. We enjoyed all of the different outdoor lounge areas which gave us the utmost relaxation. The pool was super warm and so close to the dock. The dock was convenient for fishing, along with a great spot to watch manatees and other sea life every day we were there. The beach was about an 8 minute walk from the house and was very private. We could not be happier with the communication we had with the owners and will definitely be considering staying here in the future!

Perfect Stay

Perfect Stay

This property was clean and spacious. It is in a quiet neighborhood with private access to a shared neighborhood beach about 10 minute walk from the house. The beach was closed on day 2 of our trip (due to COVID-19 virus), so we spent the next 14 days relaxing, swimming, and sunbathing in the pool. The house was fully stocked with linens, bath towels, and beach towels. We cooked every meal in the kitchen or on the grill, and ate at the table by the pool or on the screened deck. The home backs up to a canal and the manatees would occasionally swim past which was exciting. The homeowner was super kind, and helpful. We can't wait to return!
