We really enjoyed the Sanibel Apartment, and couldn't have been more happy with our stay! Ms. Streng's friendliness and availability throughout our time was top notch, the apartment was in an excellent location, and the comfort of the apartment superseded other places we've stayed before! I would highly recommend staying here, and look forward to returning in the future.

Small apartment perfect for our little family

The house is very sweet in a nice part of town. We found it to be very clean. The pool is also warm and clean and right out the back door. It was very quiet at night. The beds were comfortable. The house is a short driving distance to downtown Fort Myers which is really fun with lots of restaurants and little shops.

Ft Myers Vacation

We were in Ft Myers to visit our son who works for Florida Repertory Theatre in the downtown area. The house was perfectly located - 2 blocks from a Publix and a 20 minute walk from downtown. We stayed in Apartment Sanibel for 6 nights and it was great for our 4 person family. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen had all we needed for cooking several meals, and the pool was refreshing in the midday heat. We would definitely stay here again.

Response from VrboOwner on 24 May 2022
In Florida, it is common for power lines not to run underground. The same is true for some of the extension cords in and around the house. However, our guests can be assured that none of them pose a safety risk as our homes are regularly inspected by the relevant authorities.

Cute and cozy in a great location

Nice comfortable apartment in a great location within walking distance of downtown. The pool was the perfect temperature and relaxing in the front porch was wonderful. There were only two of us so we had plenty of room to spread out. It would have been nice to have cable or satellite TV to keep up on the world news. The antenna provided a couple of channels with spotty at best reception. Other than that it was a great place to stay and I would definitely stay there again.
Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2022
Response from VrboOwner on 28 February 2022
Thank you for your feedback! The provision of cable TV would represent an enormous cost for us/the vacation rental so that we could hardly maintain our previous very good price-performance ratio that is always appreciated by our guests. However, we are happy to provide an Amazon Fire TV stick so that our guests can use various apps if they have their own accounts.

Overall

Pool water was cold and unable to use. Lots of nice chairs by pool. 2 bike locks on porch but no bikes. Property manager was very quick to respond and pleasant to work with. Nice and close to a Publix.
Response from VrboOwner on 24 March 2020
With regard to the pool temperature, we will see if other guests have changed the settings here since past guests have not bothered with the temperature. Furthermore, we would like to point out that we know that there are bicycles to see on one or the other picture and that we actually provide them - but we do not officially advertise them, as not all of our guests have treated them with care in the past and therefore we can never say whether the bicycles are in a drivable condition. And of course, we thank you for taking the time to write a review.

Clean but well worn

We stayed in the Sanibel apartment. It was very clean but well worn. The air conditioner in the second bedroom was broken when we arrived and was never fixed during our five day stay. We were unable to use the second bedroom due to this. The front room closet had a strong mildew smell. The place is decent for the price but needs some better up keep.

First of all, many thanks again for having been our guests. We apologize for any inconveniences regarding the air conditioning in the second bedroom. Unfortunately, it was no longer possible to repair the ac about how we had to find out. The unit has been replaced and is working fine again now.

Great location and pool

This well-located apartment has a sunny pool with heating. The kitchen is small but adequate, though one of the stove burners is uneven and makes it hard to keep your skillet level while cooking. The bedrooms are spacey and the beds are good. The bathroom is nice with a good shower. The table is only a high top but works for a small group. The couch is comfortable. We couldn't figure out how to light the outdoor gas grill so instructions would be helpful. The pool was the highlight with comfortable chairs and loungers. We arrived after a cold spell but the kids didn't mind the cooler water until the sun and heater gradually brought up the temperature. The pool is deep enough with good stairs down for smaller kids. There is plenty of room around it and it is lighted at night. A very good rental.

Thank you for the detailed and nice feedback about our apartment Sanibel. We will look into the matter with the grill (and also the stove burner). With the very frequent use, it can always come to minor problems such as a loose contact of the igniter. Especially that your children enjoy their time at the pool makes us very happy!

Excellent accommodation!

This apartment is relaxing and roomy enough for the three of us aside from being under 1000 square feet. We genuinely enjoyed our time and the ammenities of the full kitchen, pool, grill, and washer and dryer (that we utilized multiple times with having a 6 year old). So nice to be able to wash our clothes and towels after a trip to the beach. The shower was always warm and never ran out of hot water even with other tenants in the building. We could not hear other tenants in their apartments either. Very sound proof. The only reason I didn’t give this five stars is because the bed in the main bedroom is a full size and could easily fit a queen size in my opinion( my husband is over six feet tall). As well, a 2-3 inch memory foam mattress topper over the mattress would help to improve the sleep. Our daughter had no complaints about her bed and stay. The linens were clean and soft and plenty of towels to go around. We will def try to book again when returning to fort Myers! Beautiful neighborhood and or far from the beaches. Thanks!

Response from VrboOwner on 22 February 2022
We attach great importance to cleanliness, which is why our staff checked the air conditioning immediately after the departure of the guests and found no mold. With better communication of the guest with us already on-site, an early departure would certainly not have been necessary. However, it is quite right, the house is an old city villa with a lot of charm and character. And in terms of price, we are always looking for a good price-performance ratio.
