Breathtaking, Expansive Gulf views, Steps to the Beach - Beach Sanctuary - Roelens

While the house was perfect for our family of 9 it does need some updates. We realized a few days into our stay that the refrigerator wasn’t working. We contacted Roelens and they were extremely quickly to answer back and come out to look at it. However somewhere communication was lost or maintenance didn't do their part. They were supposed to bring up another refrigerator so we didn’t lose anymore food than we already had and that never happened. Other than not having a properly working refrigerator the views were gorgeous and we had a fantastic time.

Beautiful property and area. Pictures don’t do the view justice!

The house was very clean. Plenty of room for our group of 8 adults. Beautiful view of the gulf with lots of wildlife. The company we rented from was very helpful. Always answering us back immediately. We love Fort Myers!!!

no pool, beach was weedy when tide went out. Water was fine.

What a view of the inlet and the beach! The place was clean as a pin! It was perfect! The dryer didn’t work… Overall, it was a 9!!!

The host was very misleading. We received consistent erroneous messages. The property did not have a pool. We received two different messages prior to arrival putting us on notice that the pool cleaning group would be onsite during the first day of out stay. We became ex tied that possibly the property had a pool. Of course it did not. We then received arrival/entry instructions giving us an alphabetical code for entry. We later learned that was incorrect and were provided a numerical code for entry. We arrived to the area early and I asked the host if the property were ready could we come in earlier than the posted 4:00 check in time. We received a message a little later that the property was ready and we could come at 1:00 but for a fee of 200. We just found something to do for a few hours. We then had two dogs. One was a service dog. The other in training. The host could not get this straight although I asked at registration where do I note that we have two medium dogs. This conversation went on for two days and they never actually got the information correct. The property is listed as a pet friendly property.

Our stay was delightful, beach was beautiful the house was everything you said it would be. My grandchildren collected shells everyday, we will definitely stay there again. Thank you

Beautiful home and tons of space but could use a little TLC. The views are amazing! We had a couple issues and property management did their best to handle and were very responsive. They were kind enough to give us a gift card and apple pie for the inconvenience caused by the issue we had. A lot of the beach was closed off due to the safety of baby birds hatching, but we still had enough space to enjoy the beach at the water. Great area for bird lovers. The beach is huge - about a 4 minute walk to get to water's edge, but very private. We enjoyed our stay.

We had an amazing time. The property was in a beautiful location. Very quiet and a pristine beach. Quick drive to shops and restaurants. The house was nicely furnished and there was a lot of space. The only reason I didn't give the house 5 stars is because of the air conditioning. During the day it had to be set on 74 and 75 at night. This is s ridiculous rule for paying guests. When it's in the 90's the house gets very hot. Hence the box fans in every room. We kept all the ceiling fans on high and it was so hot at night. Even with the noisy box fans running. The only room that stayed cool was the top floor. I would definitely recommend this property but only if the air conditioning was upgraded.

The property is well taken care of. Good customer service Highly recommend and home to revisit

Very accommodating property and great communication fromHost. The back porch view is amazing! It will be nice when that area is grown back up from the hurricane and there’s a little more to do in that area! Property is great though, and I have rented it twice!

Loved the location but a lot of construction was going on to one side of us and on the new bridge but that was expected after the hurricane. Cons: When we got there, a smoke detector was chirping. The ice maker in the main refrigerator was disgusting (I opened it up when it got jammed),so we used the ice from ice trays in the second refrigerator, the second refrigerator wouldn’t get very cold, the inner side back doorknob on the ground floor came off when simply trying to close the door from the inside.Pros: the beds and couch were comfy, pillows were great, location is away from the hustle & bustle of the north end of the island, traffic wasn’t bad on the south end of the island, it was a bit of a walk out to the water but the shelling was good. Being at the end of the island it felt like we were on a private beach with only a handful of people other than my family.

A very beautiful house that is very well equipped. Everything was very clean. Above all, the location is unique. The view was fascinating every day. If we had any problems, the team helped us quickly.
