Beautiful Gulf front condo

We had a great stay in this condo at Estero Beach and Tennis Club. Check in was very quick and easy. The condo was spotless and had more than we needed for the week. The beach and shells were gorgeous. We would definitely stay again.

We had a fantastic stay! The unit is super clean and extremely well equipped. Everything you could possibly need is there. The beach wagon was our favorite feature! Char is an excellent host- very responsive and kind. The beach has been greatly expanded and there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out. And of course, the sunsets are absolutely stunning!! We love this end of the island for its quiet, natural vibe and we highly recommend this unit!

Perfect for our an anniversary trip

We absolutely LOVED our stay here. We stayed for 10 days to celebrate our 10 year anniversary and ended up getting engaged on the balcony ☺️. It’s the perfect location, the condo has everything you need and the owners message back immediately if you have any questions. The check-in/check-out process was easy & contactless so there’s no lines or receptionist to deal with. We will definitely be booking this condo again in the future. Thank you for providing us with such a lovely place to stay!!

The property is fine but the first few days were marred by building renovations that impacted the interior of the condo and were a surprise to us. We would rent again.

Response from VrboOwner on 1 June 2022
Thank you for your review, the building contractor for the exterior columns took much longer than expected, should have been completed prior to your arrival. The completion time frame sometimes gets delayed which is out of my control. However this work did not impact all of the amenities available; pool, beach, tennis courts and the beautiful grounds.

Estero Beach condo

The views were beautiful but crews were rebuilding the beach 24/7. So that was a bit noisy especially at night. Also only 1 elevator was working for the week. But the television was a great size. And everything else was good considering this was a studio.

Beautiful view of the ocean. Great location for shopping and dining. Condo has everything you need. I'm a little puzzled we have to wash and dry the condo beach towels? Never seen that before.
Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2021
Response from VrboOwner on 10 Mar 2021
With regard to washing your own beach towels, that is a requirement from the cleaning companies especially during Covid, that way they have more time to deep clean and sanitize the unit per CDC regulations. I don’t make the rules but I have to follow them.
