There were 19 women staying at this lovely place. There's so much space that if you need to step away for some alone time you can. The pool is wonderful. Mike and Karen are such a pleasure to communicate with. I would recommend this wonderful home for any family/friend vacation.
I can't think of a better property to bring a big group together. Lots of nooks to take time away to read a book, but also lots of places to gather for a meal, a lawn game, to swim, kayak, play ping pong, have a board game challenge, fish and watch a movie in comfort. Absolutely amazing sunsets. We even saw a dolphin in the river! Hosts could not have been more accommodating, coming to the house within 20 minutes if we had any issues. The only thing to note is that to get to the large common dining space, you do need to go through one of the bedrooms, and to get to the bunk room, you have to go through another bedroom. These things were a little awkward, but definitely not a show stopper, it's just helpful to understand the layout. Going through a bedroom to get to the bunk room actually proved to be pretty good for parents to do kid wrangling when they woke up. A great trip!

Hello Christine. We are so happy your families decided to come and stay at our large property. We have a vision to bring multi-generational families together to rest, refresh and reconnect. This fosters lifetime memories. I wanted to clarify the large dining space (large sunroom). It is accessible from the inside through the sunroom bedroom or you can go around the house via a covered walkway or enter from the pool area. And with warm Florida temperatures, it is wonderful to walk outside.
Nice house
Had some smell but the garden is really beautiful. Some rooms
Are not really rooms so careful with that
But overall very nice place and the lake and sunset are great
Outstanding stay with friends and family at this amazing property
We had memorable vacation at this excellent property. All of us made several memories that will stay with us for long-long time. This property is absoloutely gorgeous, extremely relaxing and fantastic location. This property was perfect for 3 families (6 adults and 6 kids) and there was plenty to do for everyone (from adults to kids). Gorgeous sunrise and sunset by the poolside. We thoroughly enjoyed kayaking, fireside chat in the evening, playing ping-pong and soaking in the pool and the hot-tub. Oweners were great to work with and very transparent, honest and accomodating. Mike walked us through the entire property at check-in and that made it so easy for us. Thank you Mike for having us at this gorgeous property. We will surely be back...
I found this property as a last minute cancellation, and we could not have been more thrilled with the end result. Upon confirmation the property owner contacted us and was extremely friendly. He explained what was to be expected and timing of payments and process of checking in.
During the check-in, Mike was extremely thorough with the explanation of the property, and was always available with the few ongoing questions with lighting.
As to the property, there is really no explanation that adequately describes both the setting and the house. The house is beautiful and expansive, there is really room for an army. The setting alone, is amazing and the daily sunsets are picturesque. There are really not enough good things to describe this property. All I can really say is thank you for letting us stay there.
Absolute dream location for a wedding! We were looking for something extra special and we sure did find it in Grace River Island Resort! From the moment we drove Onto this magical island we felt at home. Mike and Karen were superb hosts who kindly greeted us and showed us the lay of the land. Our guests were stunned with the views of our venue and gorgeous sunsets. We would both recommend 10 out 10 for this beautiful hidden gem for your wedding, vacation or even staycation! Looking forward to returning, improvements are made constantly!
This gated property is exactly what the pictures show PLUS some! Gorgeous sunsets poolside. Great for families, something for everyone of all ages. The owners were very accommodating and easy to work with.

Really Beautiful but....
Gorgeous space inside and out and very comfortable for family reunions except
1. Odd odor in home
2. Neighbors forced quiet time as early as 9:30.... completely unrealistic for summer weddings, reunions, get togethers, parties.
3. Wasps. So many wasps.

Not sure what is meat by "odd oder." We have the house professionally cleaned and sanitized after every guest and have never had this comment before. We responded immediately to their call about wasps. We only saw 4 and removed one nest that we found. We had to respond to a noise complaint concerning our guests at midnight.
We had an amazing time in this amazing property. It’s a gorgeous home with many amenities and such a great location...we had fireworks from three sides of the home.

We are so happy you came to visit Grace River Island Resort. I am glad you were able to see fireworks. As you can see our neighbors like them!
This property is the perfect mix between feeling like you are at a resort and feeling like you are at your own house. It is personal, spacious, and gorgeous with so much space to relax and enjoy the sun and the water. No shortage of space during our stay and wonderful private water-front views.
We had a wonderful time at this home. We celebrated our parents 32nd wedding anniversary on the front lawn for a vowel renewal and it was beautiful! The house was very clean, had plenty of towels and supplies in the home. Would HIGHLY recommend! Karen and Mike were so kind and helpful during our stay!
Excellent Property for Larger Group - Exactly as Advertised
My friends and I rented this property for a long weekend and it couldn't have been a better experience. Mike was very responsive and walked us through the property when we arrived. We were able to get to Fort Myers Beach, JetBlue Park, downtown Fort Myers, and Cape Coral with a short drive. The pool and hot tub were great to have on the property and we very comfortably slept 9 people. Couldn't have been a better experience.
Great location. Everything was in very good shape with lots of entertainment options. Owners, Mike and Karen, were great to work with and very engaging throughout the booking/check-in process. We'll be back...........
Our extended family returned to Fort Myers to say our final goodbyes to my father. This home allowed 17 of us to all comfortably stay together. Every space worked perfectly for us, whether gathering for conversation or preparing or sharing a meal. Mike was great to work with. Thank you so much for helping us to have a wonerfully healing weekend. All the best.
