Beach House ~ Minutes walk to white sand Gulf of Mexico!

For the cost and the hurricane Ian destruction in 2022, this foot the bill. So close to the beach-just across the road. Could have used a few inside redos, but for the price I am not complaining. NO BUGS! That's I plus for me. Had a screened in back patio. My sister wished it had screened windows for fresh air, but in Florida, maybe not. We enjoyed our stay very much. Thank you.

Perfect place for our girls trip and having 3 bathrooms was a plus! House was clean, well stocked with essentials and the short walk to the beach was great! Would definitely stay again.

A charming home conveniently located across the street from a public access beach spot. The house has everything you need for a nice trip to fort myers beach. It was nice to have a front deck as well as a rear screened in porch. Would definitely book again.

Nice location and easy walk to the beach as advertised. Property manager promptly checked with us and was very cordial.Adequate parking but property infrastructure definitely damaged by storm. The property, for the most part, was clean, except bathroom floor mats seemed to be dirtypoorly washed… Probably need replacement. Bathrooms are small and cramped. Overall, the property was old, worn and in general very “tired“. Many rooms in need of paint. All appliances working however, and kitchen well stocked with pots pans and other utensils. VRBO pictures definitely were very deceiving and did not reflect the current condition of the property. Would likely not have stayed here if I had known the condition in advance.

The other reviews are right. The front door needs replacing and there is no light at the top of the stairs. The interior needs quite a few minor repairs/upgrades.The location is the next best thing to being on the beach!Ed was responsive and timely with other concerns.

This was kind to a rollercoaster of an emotional experience. Upon check in it was very clear that the pictures of the listing were pre-IAN and the house has been through a lot since then. I actually pulled up the listing pictures multiple times as we were initially walking through the home to make sure we were in the right place- it was that different.There are clear safety issues with the stairs, and deep cleanliness issues. There were toe nail clippings all over the primary bedroom when we got there, dirty windowsills and vents. Linens did smell/seem clean accept for the blood stain in the master comforter.The pros are location, easy walk to the beach and amenities such as sand toys, coffee, condiments, books, DVDs.Once I got over the initial shock, we had a fine time although VRBO is as unhelpful when I asked for a partial refund due to the deception and lack of safety on the steps. I just feel cat fished honesty AND the other negative reviews were posted long after we booked so we went in really blind.

I feel this property falsely advertised the condition of the home. This is the wirdt VRBO have stayed in and it will be difficult to trust booking future from this site. PROPERTY: I believe the condition of the property are remnants of past hurricanes or neglect. Rotten unsafe outdoor wooden stairs and decking, no working outside light (visible wires hanging), holes or old skylights with plywood nailed over and visible, original pictures appeared as drywall-spots of plaster were there ? Mold cover up, at least one bathroom had constant sewer smell, rotten outside door frame and not secured well. Windows so old unlikely would open in the event of a fire. I smoke detectors were old and when tested didn’t work well. Screened in deck was weathered moldy looking wood and missing ceiling fan- ceiling hole remained. No furniture in the posting was actually there. Guide book showed deeded beach access and landmarks, houses/landmarks are wiped out and you have to cross construction sites to get to the beach. AREA: no matter how much we researched this they are still recovering. The road we were on had no working light posts- very dark. On Google Maps it looked like there was a neighborhood behind this house, change to terrain and you’ll see every house was wiped out and only roads remain. The other houses on this same street are new builds or actively going through remodel, except this house we stayed in. Beaches were unkept and not pleasant. Northbound traffic is ridiculous everyday

What a delightful 3 weeks! Ed was so accomidating and the house was clean and comfortable. I was worried that we weren't on directly on the beach but it was truely just steps a way. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen well equipted!Our stay was just perfect!

The location was the most redeeming quality...close to beach and the tram to restaurants/bars. Don't usually comment on negatives, but the owner needs to know. During stay, had to call the owner a couple of times with problems. The structure is in great need of attention/repair. On a major scale, the access staircase was in need of repair, front door was banged up/tough to go in/out, the front deck light fixture was hanging by a wire/not working, the soffit was damaged and caught wind on gusty day (made lots of scary noise). Interior was cute but could use some touchups/finish work on walls, doorways, nonworking outlet, tvs, etc. The pictures in the VRBO listing look like pre-hurricane...the VRBO listing was not a true representative of what the house is today.Disappointed in VRBOs hands-off position. They were not concerned that the listing did not match the actual property. Will likely never use VRBO again...can't trust or expect guest support.

Our family stayed at this property just before Christmas. We had a great time at Fort Myers Beach and the surrounding area. That being said, this property has not been very well maintained. We arrived at night and the only lighting was solar lights on the stairway, which is in complete disrepair. Giants splits in the stringers and chunks of rotten wood had fallen on the ground. Screw heads exposed and the screws not even holding on to any wood. It’s the only means of egress. One of the toilets was unusable due to a major leak from rusted bolts. Where the water poured out was a rust stain on the floor so this must have been an ongoing issue. The water smelled like rotten eggs and took 2 full days to subside. The surfaces like the counter, cabinets and tables had not been cleaned in a while, quite dusty. There was a nice screened porch off the back through the master bedroom but like I said there was no outside lighting so we used our phone lights so we could enjoy the space after dark. The location of this house is the best part. Very short walk to the beach and about a mile to Times Square. I did not want to put a bad review out but I have emailed contact person twice and have not heard back. Very surprised this place got 10/10 reviews. It’s a great location but the house needs a lot of TLC.

This property was in a great location! A very short walk to the beach, a great breakfast spot, and the tram stop. We easily walked back to the house from the beach to refill our small cooler and enjoyed the ability to take the tram up to the busier area of the beach where there were restaurants and shops to enjoy. The house itself had everything we needed for our stay - a clean place to rest our heads after a day of playing. Thanks for a great stay!

Quaint and comfortable home just steps from the beach. You can have the comforts of home while enjoying days of bliss on the beach.

The location was perfect. Short walk across the road to a quiet beach. Close to Publix for quick groceries. The house was well stocked. Love having twin beds for a girls get away and THREE FULL bathrooms. Cute outside space for breakfast. The umbrellas and beach chairs were a bonus as well as a small cooler. A wagon or beach cart would have been a nice touch since the straps on two of the beach chairs are broke and unable to carry on your back. But overall was a great stay and would definately book again. The home is a bit older but kept up well, with a bonus of a dishwasher. Breakfast place nearby but unfortuantely our stay was short and did not make it there. Check in/out was easy.

Everything worked well, very comfortable and location was awesome. Traffic was horrible but we never dealt with it being the location was so great. Access to the beach very close, had chairs and umbrellas to use, free beach trolley took us into the Shrimp festival so we didnt have to drive. All in all, a great vacation with the kids

Considering what Ft. Myers has gone through the past few years, it's amazing this house survived! House has plenty of room. Kitchen is well stocked.Great location. Vehicle traffic going north is always backed up so walking downtown was faster!

Property was as listed. Plenty of extra amenities, toiletries, furnished kitchen, dish soap, beach towels and chairs. Only a short walk to the beach. Can walk to Time Square or take the tram, which stops nearby. Close to great eateries. Perfect get away for 4 sisters from Minnesota to escape the cold.

We enjoyed our stay and loved that we could walk to the beach and to a great spot for breakfast. We wanted to stay an extra day, but unfortunately the unit needed to be prepped for new guests. However, the host was very quick to respond to our request.

Was the a great place for a long weekend getaway to beat the winter blahs. Very short walk to the beach!Traffic backed up on main road during certain hours, but since we were close to beach, no driving required! Could have been due to rebuilding in the area.

First off, I do want to say the actual location to the beach is great. The other part is that the advertisement was for a 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom. Well, there is no third bedroom. It is a two bedroom with a living room and kitchen. There are three bathrooms, but the Master Bath Shower is so tiny, I literally can't turn around in it. Had to stand like I was frozen. I reached out the owner to ask where the third bedroom was that was advertised (I took screenshots of the VRBO listing) and the he never responded. The owner is not responsible for the area, but basically Ft. Myers was apparently hit very hard by the hurricane two years ago and the place hasn't recovered. It's like vacationing in a war zone. The living room blinds were broken, so even if someone did hit the counch, they were blasted all day with sunlight, and no privacy at night.The place is not fire code compliant either. Plenty of open all sockets, including by the bed. Several switches didn't even work. Would never do it again. Very neglected and not advertised properly, so feel I was ripped off.

The property needs some serious attention, we understand there has been hurricanes in the last 2 years that have cause tons of damage in the area. But at the same time the host needs to make the proper repairs/maintenance to keep it a good place to stay not run down and needing repairs.
