Nice, cozy apartment
We had a great stay. The house provided everything we needed and the kids enjoyed their time in the pool. We enjoyed the malls, outlets and beaches just a short drive away.

The apartment was clean and we had a great stay. We enjoyed eating our breakfast and dinner out back. And the pool was nice. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals while we were there.

Cleanliness is still one of our basic requirements to make our guests feel comfortable. And if something should not be found properly cleaned, we are happy about timely feedback to clarify this with the competent authorities on site. Thanks for the feedback.
Would have been nice if there were at least luggage racks. Not a fan of putting my suitcase on the floor

Unfortunately, we did not receive any personal feedback from you, which is a shame considering the 3-star rating!
For your luggage, there is a large closet in the bedroom where you could have stored your belongings and clothes.

Thank you so much for your feedback. It is always great to hear when guests had a perfect time at out accommodations - and also in and around Ft. Myers.
Difficulty locating property as residence not clearly identified with “2229” on the building.
Enjoyed our stay. Nice location and easy local access.

Thank you for your review and for pointing out the issue with the house number on the building. We were not really aware of this "problem" as the house is clearly visible in the pictures in the advertisement. However, we will definitely remedy the situation during our next visit on-site.
This apartment is in a nice neighborhood and walking distance to many restaurants and shops. Publix is only a block away. We did not have time to take advantage of the pool or the outdoor space but it looked nice.

Thank you for your review. It's a real shame you didn't have time to enjoy the pool. But then you just visit us again. ;)
We absolutely loved this property. It was wonderful to have a front porch and a back deck to sit and enjoy the weather.
We had two bedrooms, but only needed one, but it was was great to have so much space.
The kitchen had everything we needed to cook.
The only problem we had was with the tv. Because we are older and not tech savvy we were not able to figure out how to work it. But we did not really need the tv since there were so many things to do.
The location was great. It’s so close to so many thins. We had a wonderful time. Thank you for renting your place to us.

Thank you so much for your thorough and really great review. If you need a little less space on your next visit, please contact us in advance as we have other accommodations available that are sure to please you as well.
I picked this place for the proximity to the hospital in Ft. Myers. I was able to walk there and back for my week. Neighborhood was safe and cute. Close to downtown also. Everything was great. Thanks.

It is great to hear that you found the perfect spot for your needs. And we thank you for your perfect feedback.
Our son had a camp at the Edison/Ford Winter home so we decided to stay somewhere close to save on the Drive. This location is a short walk away from there and a very short drive to Downtown. The place was very clean and everything you need from a rental were there. The owner and staff were always friendly and a pleasure to talk to. The pool was great and our son enjoyed it everyday. Very charming place and great location. Looking forward to coming back.

Great place for a short stay
This property was very clean. The beds were extremely comfortable! We slept like babies. We were only there for 4 nights and it was a great little place for that.
However we did feel that apartment Pelican was an after thought because the floorplan was a bit awkward and would probably not have been suitable for a stay longer than just a handful of days. The shower is VERY small. I am only 5'2" and I found it difficult to shave my legs. The pool is situated on the lot between this property and another house on a relatively quiet street. Overall, we were happy with our stay!

Great to hear that you have been happy with your stay and the Apartment Pelican. The apartment was not an afterthought but sometimes you can´t change room plans made by third persons ;) We think that it is really a big plus to have the opportunity to enter the bathroom from two sides. But, of course, it is a good hint for taller people to book eventually one of our other properties. Thanks again for booking our apartment Pelican.
Duplex is in need of updates. No cable or satellite. TV only had antenna with poor reception.

Wundervolle Woche
Wir hatten eine wirklich tolle Woche im Apartment Pelican , welches erst letztes Jahr renoviert wurde. Es großzügig geschnitten und gut ausgestattet ( leider fehlt eine Spülmaschine :/ ) wir verbrachten 7 Tage dort mit 4 erwachsenen und unserer 15 Monate alten Tochter , für sie wurdeein Reisebett so wie ein Hochstuhl bereitgestellt .
Der Pool liegt direkt zwischen den beiden Wohnhäusern und ist beheizt . Alles ist sehr sauber und gepflegt , die an und Abreise waren sehr easy . Wir kommen gerne immer wieder ❤️

Sehr nettes Appartement
Ein sehr schönes Appartement in Fort Myers. Zur Altstadt ein Katzensprung. Zu den Stränden muss man schon etwas weiter fahren.
Das Appartement selbst ist liebevoll eingerichtet und es fehlt an nichts. Es war alles sehr sauber und eine kleine Reklamation wurde blitzschnell behoben, d.h. auch vor Ort gibt es eine zuverlässige Betreuung, sollte wirklich mal etwas nicht in Ordnung sein.
Kann ich ruhigen Gewissens weiterempfehlen.

Vielen Dank für die netten Worte zu unserem Barra Villa Resort. Es freut uns, dass Sie sich sichtlich wohl gefühlt haben. Auch wir sind über unsere Angestellten vor Ort froh und dankbar. Die Fahrtzeit zu den größeren Stränden beträgt - ja nach Vekehrslage - ca. 30-40 Minuten. Wir empfehlen hier auf jeden Fall die Anmietung eins Mietwagens, damit man jederzeit flexibel einen Strandtag einplanen kann. Über eine Weiterempfehlung freuen wir uns natürlich! ;)
