Even through all the construction
The condo was very very clean
Communication with the owner she
Answered every question n gave us
An extra night with little notification. More than enough room for all 4 of us to have our own space.
I would recommend. The pool area was clean. Need to spray for bugs (ants) at pool but overall experience was great. The manatee’s was so ugly but so cute to watch at the bay. The way they showed off was so cute.
Thank you for a great experience

The property I paid for was not at all what was posted. It was in Fort Meyer Beach Florida. There was a category 5 hurricane in October 2022, however from the pictures posted by the owner, it looked like they had cleaned it all up and it was ok. When I got there that was not the facts. The area was still totally demolished and looked like a war zone. The beach was barricaded and no one was allowed on the beach. There were boats in trees, nothing was being rebuilt, piles of rubble everywhere of buildings that had been destroyed. The building the condo is in has a cracked and broken foundation and the condo itself wreaked of mold, as did the entire area. There was also a distinct odor of raw sewage. I have sent pictures of the mold on the vents and the foundation and the beach and the whole area. I still have not been reimbursed for Friday and Saturday nights hotel stays. I missed over 2 days of my vacation. I am also out $240 in groceries that I ended up giving away as I had nowhere to put them. Do better!

Had a painting crew in our windows (both the master bedroom and patio) nice and early Monday morning and wasn't told about this. Left early due to this as they painted all day and were scheduled for the week. Owner didn't do much about it.
Owner did replay quickly. Condo was perfect for our needs.
This is listed as across from the beach....it's not. If you have small children it was a bit of a walk to the beach.
Also listed that the patio over looks the canal which it really doesn't.

The condo itself was nice. The listing said on the beach and you had to walk down the street and cross the street to get to any beach. We were never told that they were painting the building so we were woken up at 7:00 with people right outside out windows with power washers and lifts. It was hard to leave the condo because of this. Was given wrong codes to get to the pool.

The condo was clean and very comfortable. Perfectly located away from the ruckus at the pier, but close enough to take the quick drive if you wish to visit the pier. The beach access was very convenient. The beach was never over crowded which made it feel like a private beach. Found tons of shells. There is a little shopping center right next door with a great ice cream place and pizza place. We could not have asked for a more perfect place to stay. My husband and I can't wait to come back just the two of us. The pool was nice. I loved everything about the location.

Excellent location and family friendly
This condo was clean and had extra supplies for all those things that you may have forgotten. We enjoyed the location and the view. This was a very family friendly property and the owner went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. It felt like home and we were very comfortable.

When we come back to Fort Myers, we will definitely stay at your place again if available. I will be telling anyone who will be heading to Fort Myers to check your condo out!!!

Condo nice carpet old but still nice, had a screen in patio, elevator but it did brake down one day. Enjoy our stay. Only upset was it was listed as across the street from the ocean but had to walk down the road several blocks, I never found how to get across the street I luckily had family that stayed in hotel on beach front. I would recommend if you don’t mind a walk to the beach.

Unit was very clean. Liked having the washer and dryer in our unit. Beds were comfy. Close walk to pool and beach. Unit well stocked with extras such as beach towels, chairs, cooler, pool noodles etc. Quick drive to Town Square or Publix for restaurants, shopping and groceries or walk to CVS for essentials. We had a fabulous time!

I do not want this posted online!! We loved the property, especially having the bedrooms on a different level. This property could get an A rating with some fixing up.
Here are my suggestions:
* list the building address on the location - to be able to tell which building in # 1 and # 2
* replace the lightbulb on the lanai so there is light
* replace the broken handle on the patio door
* furnish a pizza cutter and scissors
* have garbage bags available so we can take out the trash and recycling
* don't water down the hand soap - soap isn't that expensive
* fix the blinds in the primary bedroom so that they open and close without pieces falling out
* replace the shower curtain liner in the secondary bedroom/shower. the current one is ripped.
* don't have damp towels stored in above the washing machine - make sure they are dry before they are folded and put away

The property was clean and comfortable. We liked the location. There is a strip mall within walking distance that had several good restaurants, shops and a liquor store. Beach access was close by and the condo had everything needed for the beach including beach towels and a cooler. We had trouble connecting to the wi-fi and our host has us connected within 20 minutes. Great stay!

We had a nice visit, I know it says sleep 6 but if you have 6 adults having the blow up mattress in the living room area makes the living space cramped so I wouldnt recommend more than 4 if they are all adult age....nice condo and good location but not as close to the pier and activities as we would have liked...the trolley was hard to catch (runs every 30 min) so we had to Uber which wasnt bad but hard to find one on some days and most said they stopped after 9pm going to the pier area because of the traffic and just getting stuck sitting but other than that it was a nice location with some restaurants within walking distance....

Upon checking out several days later we received an insurance claim on a bunch of items that are clearly not damaged the AC broke the first day home owner took care of it I commend them for that the second the sink sprayer fell off in the sink and was previously leaking before that other false claims include broken recliner and a strong storm door all of which were in fine condition when we left
