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

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.
