The pool was the big draw for us and location second. Close to restaurant, brewery, and Publix grocery store. Wonderful relaxing stay. Dolphin cruise was exceptional.

Yes, that's right, you can achieve and do a lot from there.
We are very happy that you enjoyed it.
The house was super clean and perfect for our weekend. The instructions were clear and the apartment was even better than the pictures. We recommend for sure.
Very nice apartment. Perfect for a long weekend! Check-in and check out was very easy and the apartment was sticked with everything we would need for the week.

Yes, contactless check-in and check-out is really convenient :-)
The Pelican Apartment was perfectly sized for 3 people, the neighborhood was very quiet and located nicely within Fort Myers so nothing was too far away, will definitely consider staying here again

This is a repeat stay at this property group. These places offer exactly what we need. Great location, pool, and all the basics needed for a week away. Walk to grocery store and downtown nightlife. We will do it again.

If you want to visit Historic Ft. Myers this is the place to stay. Clean, shabby chic decoration. Marcus was so helpful and nice. Will be back when visiting Ft Myers.

Thank you so much for the feedback. We would be happy if you keep us and our rentals in mind for any future trips to Fort Myers.
This was our first stay at a VRBO property, and I was impressed with the communication and check in process. The cottage was clean and comfortable with a shabby chic decor. The beds were very comfortable. The location is within walking distance to the Publix grocery store and a great coffee shop.

We thank you for your great feedback and we are happy that you had a good time.
We really enjoyed the pool at the property! We walked to town a couple of times and also to the Publix Store which is only a block away! Condo was clean.

Thanks for your review regarding our Villa Barra Resort in Fort Myers. It is really a great advantage that you can do some things on foot if you want.
Conveniently located to downtown. Pool was vey nice. If I had a complaint it would be that no local tv or mainstream channels were available, however, we were able to get Netflix and other streaming services.

Our televisions usually offer local channels. However, we have no influence on the interference of any kind. Therefore, we offer as an alternative the possibility to log in with your own account via the Fire TV Stick provided by us at various streaming providers.
Here to visit friends and a quick respite from the winter in New England. Great location. Less than 20 minute walk to downtown Ft. Myers. Nice treed and quiet neighborhood. The pool was a nice one and heated. The apartment was very clean. It would be nice to have an ironing board and iron. It should also be suggested to warn guests about the water. Ft. Myers tap water is safe to drink but smells and tastes of sulfur (rotten egg). Overall quite nice.

Thanks for your review!
Nice to hear that you liked it there and that you had a great time with your friends.
We had a wonderful stay. Unit was very clean and kitchen had everything we needed. Communication was excellent. We like having a swimming pool and laundry on the property. The biggest plus, is the location. We like to walk three miles every morning. From here you can walk along the beautiful Caloosahatchee, a very nice kids park, Publix, Nail Salon, Theatre, many, many restaurants and bars and my husband was even able to walk to Physical Therapy. This was our second stay at this property and we look forward to staying here again.

Thank you for your feedback! We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay.
We stayed in the Pelican apartment in Ft Meyers and loved it. It was small but just the right size for the 3 of us. It is centrally located to all the things we wanted to do on this vacation, had grocery and shopping close by - literally has a grocery store within walking distance. We loved that it had a pool. We spent most evenings relaxing at the pool. Both my daughter and I agreed that we would definitely rent this unit again.

We also find it rather "useless" to provide televisions since our guests spend most of their time not in the apartment but exploring and enjoying Florida! ;)
