About this villa rental
Please note we have a 7 night minimum stay. Our home is an open plan air conditioned holiday oasis. The living space is generous with 3 separate indoor areas to relax, read, watch tv or surf the net with our free high speed wifi. With 4 luxuriously equipped bedrooms and 3 bathrooms parties of 8 guests are easily accommodated without compromise. The well fitted kitchen has everything you need for entertaining your guests. The pool deck can be accessed from 4 separate rooms and includes a covered Lanai and heated pool with a patio area overlooking the lake.
The master bedroom features a king size bed with dressing table and draw storage. A flat screen TV and free high speed wifi allows you to wake up slowly as you prepare for your day. The master suite also enjoys a huge en suite bathroom with 2 sinks, separate loo, shower cubicle and bath. A walk in closet completes the package.
The second bedroom features a queen size bed, dressing table and bedside draw space. A large closet will swallow your luggage, clothes and purchases. Adjacent is a bathroom with single basin and bath with shower over.
The third bedroom also has a queen size bed with draws under, a chest of drawers and large closet. The fourth bedroom has twin beds with draw space and large closet. These two bedrooms share the third bathroom with single basin and bath with shower over.
All linen and towels are included and there are plenty for bedding changes during your stay.
The family room is at the centre of the house with easy access to the three guest bedrooms as well as the den and the kitchen/breakfast area. With three comfortable settees, coffee and side tables you can enjoy the 70” flat screen Samsung TV.
The kitchen overlooks the family room so users can watch the TV and the young ones whilst they prepare a meal. With an electric cooker, microwave, fridge freezer and dishwasher as well as all the small appliances you'll need including coffee maker, toaster, electric kettle and blender we cater for your every culinary need. Off the kitchen is the utility room with a washer and dryer as well as vacuum cleaner for those little spills.
The breakfast area overlooks the lanai and has a table and 4 chairs to enjoy a leisurely breakfast.
Through the arch is the sitting room. Well away from the TV this is the quiet zone. Two comfy settees overlook the pool and the lake beyond. With tables for that coffee, tea or glass of wine, just sit and relax and 'do your thing'. We even have a good collection of books for you to enjoy. Adjacent to the sitting room is a dining table with 6 chairs for those family meals.
The final inside relaxing area is the den which has sliding doors onto the pool deck. A settee overlooks the lake behind the house.
The outside area is the place to be in Ft Myers. With a covered patio accessible from the master bedroom, sitting room or breakfast area you can enjoy the view in all weathers. We have a new toughened glass patio table with 6 chairs to enjoy meals or a friendly game amongst friends and family. The pool beyond is approx 30ft long and 14ft wide. It has a safe shallow end for the none swimmers and a 5ft 6in deep end for the more confident. A handy seat at the end of the pool allows you to sit up to your waist in the water and enjoy the view over the lake or enjoy a cool drink in the plastic outside ware we provide.
The pool is solar heated and is generally warm enough from April to October without the help of our brand new 121000BTU Rudd electric heat pump. We can provide this electric heating at extra cost for the cooler months when we less hardy like a little warmer water to enjoy. But please be aware that when the air temperature drops to the 40s to 60s this heat pump will only heat the pool around 10F warmer than the air temperature.
Beyond the deck is a patio area beyond the building line of the house which provides full views of the lake and the wildlife that continuously enjoy it. We regularly see Eagrets, Heron, Osprey, Pelicans, Ibis, Cormorants and for the first time this year a Bald Eagle enjoying the lake. Alligators, Otters and Snapper Turtles are also spotted frequently.
The pool area is protected by a mesh cage which keeps most insects out and cuts down some of the Sun's UV rays. Shade trees also provide protection at the end of the deck.
In the garage we have some pool toys (though we can't guarantee condition), beach chairs and parasols as well as a couple of easy rider bikes for a trip to Biscottis around the corner for a coffee or ice cream.
We supply remote controls to access the garage and the gates to Beachwalk Isles - the community where our house is located. They will be waiting for you in the house on your arrival. We just ask that you leave them behind for our next guests on your departure.
We aim to provide a clean, well maintained and comfortable holiday home for you to enjoy. We decorate and update as regularly as we can afford to make your vacation as relaxing and enjoyable as we possibly can. We are available to help with emergencies and our contact details are provided in the house as well as other useful contact numbers.

This rental is great. Loved the location and in a quiet neighborhood. Lots of room for guests. We loved the pool and lanai. We would stay here again.

This house met all our needs except for one major need and that was a “heated pool” which was in the home description. Our 2-week stay was in December with daytime temperatures mostly in the 70s. The pool never got above 73° which made it useless as a swimming pool even for the children. (Thus a 4 rating for accuracy in listing.)
The home was clean but many pots, pans, and storage containers needed washed before they could be used. We cooked many meals.

We had a great time staying at Shane's place. The house is very spacious, beautifully decorated and well equipped. Neighborhood is really nice and quiet and there's tons of places around to eat. Sanibel is also very close, which is one of our favorite places to go to. We would definitely recommend this place and would love to come back next time we're in the area. Thanks Shane!

It was the perfect place for our stay. Great location close to Ft Myers Beach, Cape Coral Sanibel/Captiva. Naples & Punta Gorda are within an hour or so away and the Everglades are within 2hrs all depending on traffic. We did encountered some plumbing issues within our first few days and Shane addressed them immediately.
In general, the house had everything we expected and more. The kitchen is fully stocked with more small appliances (air fryer, electric mixer, ricer Keurig etc) Shane also left a little packet with instructions, things to do in the area, places that are near by and directions which was a great personal touch for visitors that aren't familiar with the area. It was homey, comfortable and roomy. We (7 adults )had plenty of room to move about and give each other privacy and space.
We look forward to staying there again in the future.

It's been our fourth stay in the Beachwalk Isles community (a gated community) and with Shane's house we couldn't have asked for more. To us Beachwalk isles and Shane's house are perfectly located - within walking distance (even by American standards) to several supermarkets (Publix, Super Target) and restaurants (Rib City, Cape Cod Fish Co, Pomodoro, Wendy's etc.) and coffee shops (Starbucks, Biscotti's). By car it's some 5 - 10 mins to the next beach. And it's far enough from the sea not to have to be too worried about hurricanes!
Shane's house has everything one might ask for in a Florida vacation home. The pool was fantastic and much appreciated by the children and, as it were, by myself.
Shane was very helpful when I had questions and responded promptly.
We will surely return to this house.
Thanks, Shane, for being such a good host.
4.9
We really enjoyed our stay. There were 6 of us and plenty of room for everyone. The kitchen was well equipped. Plenty of towels, beach equipment and pool toys. The location was great close to retail, restaurants and the beach. We will definitely look into renting again next time we come to Ft Myers and recommend Shane’s place to family and friends. Thanks for sharing your place Shane. We loved it!

We was a group of 5 people, family and friends, who visited this place 3 weeks July 2023.
We found everything to be really well taken care of and the property was found to be as described in the ad.
Shane as a landlord is really good and he is very quick to respond to any questions that might be raised.
There is an easy access to the areas around the house and several good restaurants close by. Not far to drive to the beach either.
4.9
Great large house with much space and a nice pool to chill. Very good equipped. Near to the beaches and supermarkets. We love the area.

Conveniently located for beaches and excursions. Short drive from Everglades, Naples, Sanibel. Beautiful wildlife around property. Convenient for supermarkets and restaurants despite impact on many businesses as a result of Hurricane Ian.
4.9
Spacious house with good bones. Pool area overlooking pond was the highlight. Fort Myers Beach will take some time to recover from Ian but Sanibel seems to be making great progress already. Rental had some minor cleanliness and maintenance issues which I suspect owner will resolve.
4.9
Very nice house in a superb location. Shopping, dining, grocery stores, and Ft. Myers beach are all close and easy to get to. People in this gated community are out walking and biking and are very friendly. Being on a large pond provides a great view. The kitchen is well stocked; the beds are comfortable; the master suite and bath are wonderful; the pool is warm and enjoyable. Just a great stay!

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home. All amenities were in great shape and didn’t want to leave. The owner Shane, is very easy to access and immediately takes care of any issues (we had none).

Easy to find Shane kept in touch with us as there was a hurricane so we had to cut our stay short but it was a beautiful home and we will be back

This house was more than we could have ever asked for. Shane was awesome about communicating with us and was so helpful. The kids loved the pool! Eight of us stayed here very comfortably. We would definately stay here again! We visited a different beach every day of our trip and they were all very nice. Wonderful experience.

Fantastic vacation home
We really enjoyed our stay! So many things at the house for us to use while we were there. The beach things were especially nice! Great communication with Shane! He really made us feel comfortable in his home and check in was a breeze. We will definitely be back!

Broken Pool, Dangerous Grill and Lack of Quality Amenities
Let me start by saying the quality of some amenities are inferior for the price we paid. We rented this house to spend the month relaxing in and around the pool. The Pool pump/filter/heater was not in working order the first week of our stay. The pool is not an auto-fill pool therefore the built-in skimmers are not turned on because the water level drops below the level of the skimmer's intake. Since the skimmers were not operating, to protect the pump from burning up, the pool water always contained leaves, pollen, seedpods, bugs and appeared yellowish-green and unappealing. All of this prompted numerous calls to the "pool guy" as directed by the house information. We negotiated with the owner for free pool heat for the rest of the month and the "pool guy" managed to get the appearance corrected for the last 5 days of our stay.
The outdoor grill was dangerous. The first time we went to light the grill, we could hear propane leaking from the valve connected to the tank. If we had lit the grill in that condition, it most likely would have exploded. When we took the tank to a propane supplier, we were informed the valve on the tank is no longer permitted and was at least 12 years old. We were told we'd need to exchange the old tank for a new tank with the correct valve. When this was brought to the attention of the owner, he replied that he doesn't supply the tank only the grill and he had no control over the propane tanks. It's our opinion that if an owner provides an amenity, it is the owners responsibility to insure it is in proper working order. The ignitor didn't work so you need to light the grill with a long lighter. You either turn the burner on, hold the lighter through the grates and wait for the whosh and explosion of ignition, or you remove the grates and burner cover, light the burner and then try to replace the burner cover and grate without getting burned.
There are several little things that over a month become annoying. Things like no local representation (the owner is in the UK). A master bath sink didn't drain correctly which was blamed on US plumbing. The frying pans are scorched, dented, non-flat and flaking Teflon. The house needs larger pots and bowls and a 9"x13" baking dish and a properly functioning can opener. It would be nice to have more than one oven mitt. If you offer bicycles, they should be in working order.
Despite all the problems we managed to enjoy our stay. We won't rent this property again.

Best house for hosting family and friends!
The house and surroundings were beautiful and it was convenient to restaurants and stores. Having our own personal pool was lovely! There were three distinct bedroom/bath areas that were completely private for guests. Shane was a great host, addressed any and all of our concerns immediately. We would definitely stay there again and can’t wait till next February!

I have to say this is my new favorite place to stay. It has all the amenities of home. This is a great location in between Sanibel and Fort Myers nestled in a quiet neighborhood. This is our second stay at this home and can't wait to come back. Lots of stuff for the pool and the beach.

Great Property- Great Location
We rented this home to “disconnect” from work for a week and boy did we!
Very spacious and clean pool home. Very quiet and well kept neighborhood. Very close to shopping, restaurants and beaches. You couldn’t ask for a better owner in Shane. Very easy to reach and communicate with. We would definitely come back. You need to stay here as well.

Pictures can be deceiving
The house is so much nicer than the pictures can show. The house is so spacious in a beautiful, safe gated community. If you are looking for a quiet place to stay close to Sanibel or Ft. Myers this is an excellent choice. It is nice for family or friends to have enough space to feel comfortable. Ever time we thought we saw the whole house there was more. I will definitely be renting this home again.

Great Property
