Private Pool/Spa and outdoor wet bar
4 Bedroom, 2 full baths, 1 half bath outside access by pool
Sleeps 8 (air mattress available for children).
The entire outdoor area is completely fenced in with 2 gates to ensure complete privacy when using the heated pool/spa and outdoor area. It’s like having your own little private paradise. The outdoor area is fully equipped for family enjoyment or can be a great place to just relax and enjoy some sun.
The newly renovated (November 2021) fully functional kitchen has every appliance needed along with an outdoor dining area on the upstairs deck overlooking the private pool. Below the deck is an outdoor wet bar with swing bar seats, built-in mini fridge, outside access to bathroom, 65" outdoor TV and a grill.
Upstairs is 4 bedrooms. 1 King bedroom with a flat screen and 3 Queen bedrooms. The open floor plan includes a dining room, kitchen and living room.
Fort Myers Beach is apart of Lee County's Estero Island, a narrow strip of land that is one mile wide at its widest point. Though it is best known for its near perfect climate, abundant sandy beaches and ideal location for enjoying a wide range of water sports, this city offers much more than just a beach break for the vacationer. There are a number or bars and restaurants that cater to the needs of any guest. From a fancy dinner overlooking the ocean to a bachelorette party looking to "burn the midnight oil", there is plenty of experiences to be had on Ft. Myers Beach. This is also a great spot for shelling, boating, kayaking, bicycling, jet skiing, parasailing, swimming and of course, just taking a nap and getting a tan. The location of this home will not disappoint!
There is a Publix Grocery located 0.6 miles from the home, a marina, many restaurants, and the trolley stop is beside the ocean access #16 right across the street!
You can rent mopeds, bicycles, beach equipment and much more right on Estero Blvd, which is the main road going through the town of Fort Myers Beach.
Ride down to Lover's Key one day - you will thoroughly enjoy the trip. You can catch a ride on the trolley.
Since Estero Island is very narrow, you can walk to the back bay and explore the many uninhabited keys within the bay that play host to hundreds of different species of birds, plants and mammals.

Had a great stay with the family here. The city is working on overcoming the devastation of Hurricane Ian. This property has done a great job of getting rebuilt.

Perfect location. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub, and short walk to the beach. Weather cooperated for a sunny and warm week.

We had a great time at this house. Lots of room for all of us. We were either enjoying time around the pool or down at the beach. It was a quick 3-5 minute walk to the beach. Most of the house was as described but a couple of the photos of the downstairs area in the listing are inaccurate due to the downstairs being completely re-modeled due to Hurricane Ian. The downstairs area was nice with a grill, TV, couple fans and plenty of seating for eating meals. Definitely a nice area for a much needed break from the sun.

Great location
We enjoyed our stay at this house! It’s conveniently located with just a short walk to the beach with a crosswalk. There’s plenty of parking and the pool was great.

Whole Family vacation
The location of the house was perfect for a short walk to the beach with our 3 and 5 year old grandkids. The open kitchen and dining made family meal time enjoyable. The deck and pool area provided sun and shade throughout the day. Jesse was very responsive to any concerns we had. The listing doesn’t mention the downstairs is not accessible from inside the house. The master bath water pressure was very low. There were a few minor things that could be fixed that would make this house perfect, but our stay was very enjoyable.

Sweet dreams
Great location! Short walk to an uncrowded beach. We had a couple hiccups with check-in, however. Keys were not left at the property and we had to contact VRBO directly to resolve the issue because the property manager on the listing did not respond. I did hear back from another property manager, however, and he was very helpful. The only other complaints would be that the pool cleaner did not show up and the trees around the pool shed a lot of debris. Also, there is no indoor access to the downstairs from the upstairs so you have to walk outside to get between the two levels. I give this place 4 stars because I couldn't have asked for a better location and the pool area was like a private oasis. Excellent neighborhood as well. Overall we had a good stay.

Family Vacation
The location of the house was a short walk to the beach. Publix grocery store was just down the road. The pool was an awesome bonus to have when you didn’t want to go to the beach. The home had 5 bedrooms which gave everyone their own space. We had an awesome family vacation. The owner was easy to communicate and responded quickly when we had sny question or a problem.

House in need of maintenance
Had our annual family vacation here. Plenty of room for four families with young children. Location was great. Just a short walk to the beach. Plenty of pool and beach paraphernalia in garage. Overall we had a great time. We all agreed, however, the house could use some updating and maintenance. The beds and couch need to be updated. The couch sagged in back and there were exposed staples on top where the back was pulling away. Everyone complained about their uncomfortable bed.
The house also had some maintenance problems.
Refrigerator leaked from the bottom.
We had to buy light bulbs to replace a number of burnt out or missing bulbs.
Very low water pressure especially in master shower. Shower door off track in the other shower.
Musty odor in lower lever. Improved with dehumidifier and A/C on but never really went away.
Unable to regulate hot tub/ pool temp.
Loose railing slats on back stairway.
Overall, I felt the house was dirty when I arrived. Even the coffee pot had still had a thick brown film left from previous uses.

Great location.
Floors were not clean and one of the showers had bad water pressure. Nice to have 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms all on the same floor. The property needs a little TLC. The spa never got warmer than 87. The owner was responsive about issues but the pool people never did get it fixed the 18 days we were there. The location works great for short walking trips to the beach and only a 3 minute drive to Publix.

Perfect house for my family
So many good things to say about this home. Communication from Jesse was timely and all necessary info was provided for a smooth check in . Location of home is mid island close to trolley stop and very short walk to beach. The layout of the home was ideal for my family. We enjoyed the pool table and loved the tropical feel of the pool and backyard. Plenty of towels, beach chairs, wagon, kitchen supplies are provided. I would definitely stay again if we return to Ft Myers Beach next year.

Great Mid-Island Week!
We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again! Upon arrival we had a little hiccup with the key not being where it was specified to be, but Jesse got right back to us when I messaged and we located it quickly.
The walk to the beach is quick and easy, even our 2 year old was able to walk there and back without any trouble. We absolutely loved the pool and spa and spent hours and hours in the back yard area. The downstairs was perfect for our teens to stay up late playing pool and watching TV. Our group of 10 was very comfortable staying here.

Family vacation
Homeowner was easy to communicate with and very responsive. He was super nice and I would rent from him again. Neighborhood was nice and the walk to the beach was quick and easy. The trolley was not reliable. It never came when it was supposed to. That made going anywhere difficult but we did Uber. The house is nice but could use a few updates. Some things are kind of beat up and the pool needed swept but over all it was a great house. The pictures of the basement area make it look much nicer than it actually is. We enjoyed our stay with those things being said

Fantastic Vacation Home in Close Proximity to the Beach
I can't express how overall happy I was with the experience we had at "Sweet Dreams". There was a small hiccup with the initial visit , but Jesse responded quickly and that was resolved. I stayed here with my family (mid20s-early 50s). The house was only 2 blocks from the beach, and there were a lot of beach towels/toys at the house. We were south of all of the traffic on the main road, so we could avoid it if need be. The house was exactly what we were looking for! Thank you Jesse and company for the great experience!

Wonderful home at wonderful location!
Everything was as it says it was in the description. Jesse was very quick to address any needs we had. The walk to the beach was very manageable and short and this was a beautiful beach. The pool and spa were great!

Sweet Dreams
Overall the property was exactly as described. We had three families with kids ages 12-17. The downstairs area was perfect for the kids to hang out, play pool, watch TV and sleep. The upstairs rooms and bathrooms were very nice and the sofa bed worked well for one of the kids. The kitchen had everything we needed, and we ate in a few nights and breakfasts. We loved the pool and hot tub. The walk to the beach was easy and very convenient. We had a wonderful time and would definitely stay at this house again.

Hot tub didn't work. Light bulbs burnt out or switches didn't work. Dirty house and pool.
Totally disappointed with the property and management company. I should get some kind of discount.

Home for Family Wedding Stay
It was so nice to have a home large enough for our family and provide all the amenities needed for a week stay. It was wonderful to be able to walk around the corner to the beach or relax in the comfort of your own backyard.

McCarthy review ( 7/20/19 to 7/27/19 )
Year 5 for us staying at the beach house....just a few minor things !!!
1. The Gate on the left side of the house is about to completely fall off ( it was that way prior to my arrival )
2. Toilet in the master bath kept continually running all week
3. termites/ bugs found along the window sills in the down stairs bedroom.
4. Base boards in the bedroom downstairs very wet from excessive rain during the week ( possible water leakage )

Loved it!
We had 4 families staying at the house with plenty of room! The walk to the beach was so quick. We absolutely loved the pool and hot tub area as well as the downstairs and pool table. We had trouble with the air conditioning not working and the property manager got someone out to us quickly to fix it. We would definitely stay here again.

Great Spring Break!
House is in a great location! Very short walk to an I crowded stretch of beach. Backyard pool/hot tub is amazing. The downstairs was perfect for our teenagers. The house exceeded our expectations.

Would love to give this house more stars but we did have a few dislikes
Easy walk to the beach. Would stay here again. Too bad Estero was a traffic nightmare! Four of the five beds in the house gave for some serious back aches. New mattresses would be amazing. The pool was gorgeous. It would be nice if the basement shower was a little larger. Also it was inconvenient that the basement wasn’t attached to the upstairs and the working dryer was in the garage instead of the laundry area.
10.0
It was lovely! Plenty of room for all of us. The pool was invitingly warm! The beach was close!
Everything was like home. Almost a resort with small amenities like little soaps! It was such a close walk to the beach, to bring the beach chairs and umbrella. Very quiet and private. We loved it!
