    Perfect peaceful retreat from the activities near the beach. Easy walk to the beach and even has a cart to help you get your stuff there. Very attentive owner willing to help in anyway. Thanks for all your help J. J. Definitely recommend.

    In short: Out vacation at Fort Myers Beach was beautiful and Jim and Liz's home is awesome! All of us have idetified their favorite activites (that does not mean that all of us did not also enjoy all the other things!): The two boys loved the pool the most. My wife loved many walks on the beach, which is perfectly close, and I found paddling in a Kajak through the Mangroves the most fascinating! The house is equipped with everything you need and even much more. And Jim helped instantly with any questions we had. Thank you so much, Liz and Jim for letting us stay at this wonderful place. Hope to be your guests again, soon. Tilman

    Perfect location:t A quick (block and a half) walk to the beach, has a great pool, is located on the canal for great views and fishing, and is a half block from the Mound House which offers two piers, a nice walking path and great views. It is Well-equipped: We appreciated the bikes, the beach umbrella, the beach wagon, the beach towels and chairs, the large table on the patio with an umbrella that easily seats six, the two lounge chairs, the drying racks for towels and suits on the patio. The owner is responsive and eager to please. We were there for a month and the owner came over to take care of the pool about halfway through our time. He was extremely friendly and responsive when we had a couple of questions. In short, this is a perfect vacation house!

    Our family had a really nice stay at this property. The tandem kayak provided was really awesome and I got to take my son out paddling. Having our own private pool was really convenient and the kids had a great time swimming every day of the stay. The beach is a short walk and the items provided with the rental (beach cart and chairs) came in handy. Overall, I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a rental in this area.

    We could not have asked for more in a vacation stay. Everything immaculately clean and beautifully decorated. We were impressed with the provisions within the home as well as the kayaks and bikes. Being on the canal was delightful. Walk to the beach short with many shells to enjoy.

    The house was terrific. Access to beach (at the end of the street), as well as the river, and ocean is perfect. We rented a boat one day, brought it to the house, grabbed mom and dad and went off to the beach, super easy and convenient. Took the opportunity to fish in the canal as well as at the Mound House, caught (& released) a ton of fish, and not just catfish!. Pool was great. Walk-ability to several restaurants was also a plus. Looking forward to coming back again in the future.

    My family loved our stay at the Iquana House ! The location was great, just a quick walk to the beach in a nice and quiet neighborhood. The local grocery store was a 2 minute drive away. My kids used the pool over and over again, along with the sunning area alongside the canal. Having 3 bedrooms was nice for our family, as it gave everyone their own space for downtime. The large living room and extended living room were also great spaces to relax, watch t.v or a movie. The kitchen had everything we needed as far as pots, pans, utensils, dishes and appliances. We utilized the wagon when going to the beach, along with the beach chairs and umbrellas. We also used the bikes that were available. I just can't say enough good things about this property. It was clean, welcoming and comfortable. We loved loved loved it !!! Jim was easy to contact when we had questions and quick to answer emails. Thank you for a great stay and being a part of our family vacation, we are more than pleased and likely to return :) .

    We had a super Great stay. The house has 3 bedrooms 2 on one side and the other across on the other side. Made it nice for a little separation. Loved the open space in front room Loved how many tables they had. Always a place to sit things and still have a place to eat always a table to play games on. Or sit your coffee on. We played in the pool every chance we had. (More lights around the pool would add to it ) also had a place to fish. It was used everyday The kitchen was full with every you needed. Jim called and checked on us to see if we had any questions (very nice) Had a washer and dryer. It to was used. If I was to go back to this area I would rent this place again. We could walk up the street and have beach Sandi

    Having just spent three months in the Iguana Cottage, I can say that it is a wonderfully equipped and comfortable house in a great location. It is has everything you would ever need for a memorable vacation. Jim, the owner, was very responsive to any question or need that we had. He is a wonderful person who will take good care of you. In four minutes you are at the pet friendly beach. We have already made our reservations for next winter and eagerly anticipate our return. Thank you HomeAway and Jim. Sincerely, Kathy Koster

    This was our second stay at the Iguana house and again we were able to enjoy the entire week specially since we are able to also have the company of our lab Peanut. This house has a fantastic location and it's proximity to the beach makes it even more so, The items available in the garage (bicycles, beach chairs, umbrella, toys, etc.) are very appreciated since that way we do not need to buy or carry our own. It will be wonderful if the owners would upgrade some of the furnishings since they have seen better times however it is their decision to do so. Even the neighbor is wonderful since we were in need of a screwdriver to help us with a purchased toy and he was able to direct us to the neighbor across the street which graciously lent us one. Hopefully we will be able to repeat our stay.
