As far as the home, this home was perfect. Lovely landscape, pool, dock and canal. We were cut short of our vacation as this world pandemic closed all beaches, restaurants, etc. We made the best of our stay as the weather was perfect! Would definitely rent again.

This home is an unbelievably perfect combination of a great house, immaculate decorating, a quiet neighborhood, and an ideal location. Located within a bike-ride of the beach and several restaurants, this is a convenient place to stay. The house is so warm and inviting that you'll be tempted to stay in. We made day-trips and ended each night eating fresh seafood in the fully-equipped kitchen. There is a nice room with a large TV where we caught up on movies together, and a nice table in the screened-in porch where we sat rain or shine. One of our day trips was a fishing trip with Day 5 Charters and we got picked up directly behind the house on the canal. Another day trip, we went to the Beach Theater, an eat-in movie theater, with surprisingly good meals and drinks. Not cheap, but reasonable. With 5 bikes, it was easy to get to the beach. You can also take a bike all the way to Times Square to avoid the $6 car parking fee. If you go to Times Square, consider eating at Smokin Oyster Brewery. Good bar with great seafood. We can't compliment the owners enough for making such a wonderful home. This would be our first choice if we go back to Fort Meyer's Beach.

Our family of 5 spent a week at the villa and it was spectacular. Bike rides to the beach (lots of toys in the garage for use!), splashing & floating around in the pool, afternoon naps in cozy beds and big dining spaces allowed for the perfect gathering spot. If we weren't moving to the location already, we'd be clamoring to come back again and again.

We and our two friends stayed for two weeks at the end of June and absolutely loved everything about the Villa and Fort Myers Beach. The Villa is situated mid island which we felt was the best area, lovely quiet road and a fantastic outlook, short walk to the beach or 5 minutes in the car to the Outrigger Beach Hotel where the beach is exceptionally wide and we used to hire Cabanas, they also have a nice Tiki bar right on the beach. Beautiful well kept gardens and we liked the fact that the pool was open rather than covered with netting and on one magical occasion whilst sitting at the end of the boat dock my wife and I watched as a large Manatee glided up to us, poked his nose out of the water, snorted and looked at us. That was a bonus on top of all the other wildlife we witnessed. The Villa is high quality and very tastefully decorated by someone with a good eye, well equipped with everything you need for a perfect vacation. We ate out most nights and found plenty of quality restaurants. A visit to nearby Mound House to find out about the original native Americans was particularly interesting. Great Publix supermarket just around the corner and our friend John cycled early most mornings to the pier to do some fishing. Wilma and Manfred were great hosts and always available to contact, this was particularly helpful as we needed to reboot the router after an electrical storm in order to watch the England game on our first morning! We can't wait to return one day. Peter and Rosemary, Essex, UK

Beautiful, very clean, & well stocked home!

Its only our 2nd day here, I absolutely love this house, we have been in SW Florida for 2months already but this house is so gorgeous and clean and has everything you need,,,If you are considering coming to Fort Myers Beach, this house is a must, only 5 minutes walk to the beach and such lovely gardens to sit and relax in. The sun loungers are the comfiest we have been on,,,just everything is spot on...Used the BBQ tonight - our chicken was great,,,as expected or was it the cook??? Anyway, 5 stars all the way for this place, love it. Clare and Chris, North Lincs, UK

We stayed in this lovely home from the 3rd July - 17th July 2009 and were very sad to come back to England. My family and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to holiday in Florida - Fort Myers Beach. This was the first time we have rented a home in Florida, usually we rent a hotel suite. However, after our wonderful stay at this home I don't think we will rent a hotel room again. The owners are lovely and kept in contact with us in the lead up to our holiday. Wilma was even kind enough to sort out the delivery of a rented baby cot for us to use. The owners have also appointed a local house manager who is in contact with you should you ever need any help with the house. The house is beautifully decorated and has everything you need to enjoy your time there. The pool is lovely and we loved spending time in it with our 18 month old daughter. The gardens are lovely and the mango fruit tree was delicious. On a few occassions we were lucky enough to see dolphins in the water beside the house. That was an amazing experience. The house is within 5 minutes walk of the lovely white sand beach. We spent most days by the pool because it was such a lovely place to be. The outlook from the house to the bay is beautiful and it is such a peaceful area. The Master bedroom is huge with a large walk in closet and large ensuite bathroom. The balcony from this room has spectacular views of the bay to wake up every morning to. The 2nd bedroom was used by my sister who loved having her own ensuite bathroom. The 3rd bedroom has 2 single beds and was large enough for us to fit the baby cot. The downstairs lounge area is perfect for watching a movie or reading a book on the comfy seating area. It also has WiFi internet access so we packed our laptop and emailed pictures of us on holiday to family and friends. The kitchen has all the appliances and tools you need to make it feel like you are still at home. The utility room has a huge washing machine and tumble dryer which was perfect because I had lots of baby clothes to wash. There is a lovely dining area by the pool as well as a barbeque grill which we enjoyed using several times. You are only a few streets away from the local Publix supermarket to stock up on all your groceries. You are well located to visit all that Fort Myers Beach offers from this home. I hope that you book this home for your holiday and have as much fun as we did. I will be very jealous.
