The host was awesome! The home is very clean and enjoyable. The pool was great! The private bathrooms for all the rooms is amazing - great place for a large family outing. Make sure to book this home!
The host was accommodating and had great communication from the start. This gorgeous house was perfect for our weekend celebration and did not disappoint! The attention to detail was fantastic.
Enjoyed a family stay over Chistmas. The house is quite spacious & larger than it appears in online photos - our family of 8 had plenty of room to spread out. The 2 master suites are also very large. House was well stocked with everything we needed and there is a Publix and restaurants nearby. The tiki bar was a fun place to hang out in the evenings and catch games on tv. Had a boat pick us up right on the canal - very convenient. The pool is small, but was a hit with the kids.
Our family absolutely loved this home . It was the perfect location to get out in the water by boat and also very close to grocery store . The home was extremely well kept and comfortable . The neighbors were very nice. We will definitely be back !
This house was more than we thought we were getting...the pictures do not do it justice! Brian was super easy to communicate with and we will for sure stay here again!!
The property is gorgeous! We made frequent use of the pool, lanai, grill and outdoor seating. We had plenty of room for 7 people. Our meal at Ford’s Garage was a fun highlight along with two dolphin sightings in the Canal.
Brian was very responsive on any questions we had. House was immaculate and clean. Very spacious. Pool was clean and warm, just like we like it!
Would highly recommend!
Give stars for sure...
We absolutely loved this home! Our family takes a trip each year for Christmas instead of buying presents. We are a group of 8 adults and this house was perfect for us—plenty of room, so clean and loaded with everything we needed! The heated pool was wonderful! Brian was very easy to work with. Nice neighborhood too. Close to restaurants and Publix.
My family had an excellent 10 day stay over the holidays. The house was exactly as pictured and includes all amenities mentioned. There was plenty of space for us to all be together. The dining room table was great for the whole family gathering around the table for meals and games. We enjoyed time at the pool and at the Tiki bar. All furniture inside and out was in excellent condition and was very comfortable. Brian was great to deal with and readily accessible anytime we had questions. We would definitely recommend this property.
House was perfect for a group of 5 adults. Really enjoyed us all having our own bedrooms with our own bathrooms. Living room, dining area, foyer and kitchen all much bigger than they look in the pictures. Up to date, all appliances in great working order, no issues and quick communication with owner! Very accommodating!
Very impressed with everything. Brian had excellent communication. The property was in a great location and everything was in great condition and very clean. Would definitely rent again!
Nice home in a great neighborhood close to everything you want to do on vacation. The area seems relaxed, away from the congestion that is often found in fort Myers.

Very close to downtown action and dining. House was smaller than pictures presented. Tiki bar was the best as we watched sports and listened to music in the evenings. Easy to get to.
The property was absolute amazing! The house is Big enough for a large gathering! Beautifully decorated, Fully stocked —they thought of everything! ..and the beds- Wow—very very comfortable!! The pool was chilly, but we didn’t care- it was December! The dock was our favorite area to hang out! The canal was great— allowed for nonstop fishing! Don’t pass this house up! Definetly a must stay!
We rented this property during my son’s baseball tournament and it was a great location! Also, this house has everything we needed plus more! Tons of space, a great pool, water view, 2 master suites, and a fully stocked kitchen. The garage had extra amenities: fishing poles, cornhole boards, beach chairs, and an extra full size fridge. Brian was extremely helpful with questions!! Definitely recommend because we had the best time!!
Brian’s house was the perfect location. The house was Great!
The house was in a great location. It was an amazing stay. It was spacious, the pool was great. The house had everything you needed for your vacation. The tiki bar was a Great touch. The 1st day we arrived, a dolphin came very close to the dock which was wonderful to see. We had a great & relaxing time at Brian’s retreat. Thank you for making our stay so wonderful & enjoyable.
Thank you, Katy & family
