Absolutely beautiful property with perfect beach views! The house layout worked out great as grandparents had their own space on the main floor while parents and littles had the top floor to themselves. Having the elevator to assist grands along with hauling all the travel supplies for kids without scaling 3 flights of stairs was a must!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re so happy to hear the layout worked well for your family and that everyone had their own comfortable space—it’s exactly what we hope for multi-generational stays.
And yes, the elevator can definitely be a game changer! We’re glad it made things easier for both the grandparents and all the gear that comes with traveling with little ones. We’d love to host you and your family again anytime!

Perfect Family Getaway
This house is amazing! Everything was perfect for our family beach winter vacation. The place is very well-appointed, immaculately clean. The amazing ocean views from the large balcony was my favorite. We loved every minute and were sad to go. The rental management was very responsive and always available to answer our questions and provide excellent recommendations. It was great to walk to the Ft. Myers Beach shops and restaurants. We are definitely coming back!
