Private Pool/Spa and outdoor wet bar
4 Bedroom, 2 full baths, 1 half bath outside access by pool
Sleeps 8 (air mattress available for children).

The entire outdoor area is completely fenced in with 2 gates to ensure complete privacy when using the heated pool/spa and outdoor area. It’s like having your own little private paradise. The outdoor area is fully equipped for family enjoyment or can be a great place to just relax and enjoy some sun.

The newly renovated (November 2021) fully functional kitchen has every appliance needed along with an outdoor dining area on the upstairs deck overlooking the private pool. Below the deck is an outdoor wet bar with swing bar seats, built-in mini fridge, outside access to bathroom, 65" outdoor TV and a grill.

Upstairs is 4 bedrooms. 1 King bedroom with a flat screen and 3 Queen bedrooms. The open floor plan includes a dining room, kitchen and living room.

Fort Myers Beach is apart of Lee County's Estero Island, a narrow strip of land that is one mile wide at its widest point. Though it is best known for its near perfect climate, abundant sandy beaches and ideal location for enjoying a wide range of water sports, this city offers much more than just a beach break for the vacationer. There are a number or bars and restaurants that cater to the needs of any guest. From a fancy dinner overlooking the ocean to a bachelorette party looking to "burn the midnight oil", there is plenty of experiences to be had on Ft. Myers Beach. This is also a great spot for shelling, boating, kayaking, bicycling, jet skiing, parasailing, swimming and of course, just taking a nap and getting a tan. The location of this home will not disappoint!

There is a Publix Grocery located 0.6 miles from the home, a marina, many restaurants, and the trolley stop is beside the ocean access #16 right across the street!

You can rent mopeds, bicycles, beach equipment and much more right on Estero Blvd, which is the main road going through the town of Fort Myers Beach.

Ride down to Lover's Key one day - you will thoroughly enjoy the trip. You can catch a ride on the trolley.

Since Estero Island is very narrow, you can walk to the back bay and explore the many uninhabited keys within the bay that play host to hundreds of different species of birds, plants and mammals.

Nice house, close to beach

The house was plenty big for 2 families. A little tight on bathroom/shower space with teens. Some of putdoor furniture needs to be replaced. Nice and close to beach and was clean. The owner was responsive and helped out when issues came up.

Perfect Family Vacation

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was perfect for our young kids and a little family getaway. There was plenty of space for our family and grandparents and it was very easy to get to the beach and take the trolley. Mid island location allows for easy travel up and down the beach. Really great setup.

House was “just okay”. LP tank for grill was empty and we had get new one. Owner offered to reimburse. Had to fix shower handle and dryer didn’t work well cause lint tray, etc was full! Cleaned it out and was better but not perfect. Landscaping still needs work. Pool was great and house close to ocean. Traffic was awful.

Spring Break

We had a great time at this house. Lots of room for all of us. We were either enjoying time around the pool or down at the beach. It was a quick 3-5 minute walk to the beach. Most of the house was as described but a couple of the photos of the downstairs area in the listing are inaccurate due to the downstairs being completely re-modeled due to Hurricane Ian. The downstairs area was nice with a grill, TV, couple fans and plenty of seating for eating meals. Definitely a nice area for a much needed break from the sun.

Whole Family vacation

The location of the house was perfect for a short walk to the beach with our 3 and 5 year old grandkids. The open kitchen and dining made family meal time enjoyable. The deck and pool area provided sun and shade throughout the day. Jesse was very responsive to any concerns we had. The listing doesn’t mention the downstairs is not accessible from inside the house. The master bath water pressure was very low. There were a few minor things that could be fixed that would make this house perfect, but our stay was very enjoyable.

Sweet dreams

Great location! Short walk to an uncrowded beach. We had a couple hiccups with check-in, however. Keys were not left at the property and we had to contact VRBO directly to resolve the issue because the property manager on the listing did not respond. I did hear back from another property manager, however, and he was very helpful. The only other complaints would be that the pool cleaner did not show up and the trees around the pool shed a lot of debris. Also, there is no indoor access to the downstairs from the upstairs so you have to walk outside to get between the two levels. I give this place 4 stars because I couldn't have asked for a better location and the pool area was like a private oasis. Excellent neighborhood as well. Overall we had a good stay.

Not clean!!

Pros: •The house had a great location with a quick walk to a public beach access. •There were a bunch of beach toys and chairs to use as well as a wagon to get them all down to the beach. •The pool was nice and the kids really enjoyed it •The home was a perfect size for our family •There was a pack N play there for use. •Each room had a ceiling fan. •There was a grill was nice to have. Cons: •The fridge was leaking from the bottom so the kitchen floor was always wet. •The shower in the master bathroom did not have much for water pressure. •Many lights were either missing light bulbs or did not work altogether. •One of the shower doors was broken. • The bathroom sink did not have warm water. • Both the wine fridge and the freezer need to be defrosted. •It is listed that there are sleeper sofas, both of which were broken. •The patio door was broken and difficult to open. •The patio railings were broken which was a terrible hazard for our family with small children. •The overall cleanliness of the home was very poor when we arrived. •The window air conditioner’s were Full of mold. •The down stairs smoke detectors were taken down, and put in a cabinet.

Family Vacation

The location of the house was a short walk to the beach. Publix grocery store was just down the road. The pool was an awesome bonus to have when you didn’t want to go to the beach. The home had 5 bedrooms which gave everyone their own space. We had an awesome family vacation. The owner was easy to communicate and responded quickly when we had sny question or a problem.

House in need of maintenance

Had our annual family vacation here. Plenty of room for four families with young children. Location was great. Just a short walk to the beach. Plenty of pool and beach paraphernalia in garage. Overall we had a great time. We all agreed, however, the house could use some updating and maintenance. The beds and couch need to be updated. The couch sagged in back and there were exposed staples on top where the back was pulling away. Everyone complained about their uncomfortable bed. The house also had some maintenance problems. Refrigerator leaked from the bottom. We had to buy light bulbs to replace a number of burnt out or missing bulbs. Very low water pressure especially in master shower. Shower door off track in the other shower. Musty odor in lower lever. Improved with dehumidifier and A/C on but never really went away. Unable to regulate hot tub/ pool temp. Loose railing slats on back stairway. Overall, I felt the house was dirty when I arrived. Even the coffee pot had still had a thick brown film left from previous uses.

Great location.

Floors were not clean and one of the showers had bad water pressure. Nice to have 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms all on the same floor. The property needs a little TLC. The spa never got warmer than 87. The owner was responsive about issues but the pool people never did get it fixed the 18 days we were there. The location works great for short walking trips to the beach and only a 3 minute drive to Publix.

Perfect house for my family

So many good things to say about this home. Communication from Jesse was timely and all necessary info was provided for a smooth check in . Location of home is mid island close to trolley stop and very short walk to beach. The layout of the home was ideal for my family. We enjoyed the pool table and loved the tropical feel of the pool and backyard. Plenty of towels, beach chairs, wagon, kitchen supplies are provided. I would definitely stay again if we return to Ft Myers Beach next year.

Great Mid-Island Week!

We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again! Upon arrival we had a little hiccup with the key not being where it was specified to be, but Jesse got right back to us when I messaged and we located it quickly. The walk to the beach is quick and easy, even our 2 year old was able to walk there and back without any trouble. We absolutely loved the pool and spa and spent hours and hours in the back yard area. The downstairs was perfect for our teens to stay up late playing pool and watching TV. Our group of 10 was very comfortable staying here.

Family vacation

Homeowner was easy to communicate with and very responsive. He was super nice and I would rent from him again. Neighborhood was nice and the walk to the beach was quick and easy. The trolley was not reliable. It never came when it was supposed to. That made going anywhere difficult but we did Uber. The house is nice but could use a few updates. Some things are kind of beat up and the pool needed swept but over all it was a great house. The pictures of the basement area make it look much nicer than it actually is. We enjoyed our stay with those things being said

Fantastic Vacation Home in Close Proximity to the Beach

I can't express how overall happy I was with the experience we had at "Sweet Dreams". There was a small hiccup with the initial visit , but Jesse responded quickly and that was resolved. I stayed here with my family (mid20s-early 50s). The house was only 2 blocks from the beach, and there were a lot of beach towels/toys at the house. We were south of all of the traffic on the main road, so we could avoid it if need be. The house was exactly what we were looking for! Thank you Jesse and company for the great experience!
