Rowan's Retreat
Beautiful historic home ! Loved the wrap around porch and the hot tub. Great shower ! Loved the coffee and wine and cozy blankets on the couch . Wish we could have stayed longer . Lots of space ! Close to downtown fort Myers

Villa Oasis - Beautiful Pool/SPA Home on Canal
This house was absolutely incredible! From the moment we arrived, everything was spotless—even the baseboards and ceiling fans were immaculate. The home is super spacious, with room to spread out comfortably (even the garage was huge!). The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could possibly need to cook indoors or grill outside, and there were multiple dining areas both inside and out. The pool and spa were beyond refreshing—clean, well-maintained, and surrounded by plenty of lounge chairs for everyone. We loved the outdoor eating area and the thoughtful extras like pool toys and bikes, which added a fun touch. My boys especially enjoyed exploring near the canal, which made for some great memories. The beds were super comfy, with plenty of extra linens and cozy throw blankets. The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet, and the house is in a perfect, central location. The hosts were amazing: extremely responsive and helpful.

Studio- Olde Naples, 2 blocks to beach Studio unit
It's my favorite place to stay in Naples. It's peaceful and cozy, very close to everything. The kitchen is fully equipped, and the bed is soft. Everything is decorated with taste. Daniel is a great host.

Amazing villa with great water view.
We had a fantastic stay! The house was incredibly well-equipped—there were plenty of essentials like paper towels, toilet paper, and all the little extras that make a stay comfortable and convenient. The pool and hot tub were both in perfect working order and made for a relaxing time day or night. The canal out back was a real highlight—great fishing with a wide variety of fish, including catfish, gar, and more. The house also came with five bicycles available for tenant use, which was a nice bonus, and there were TVs in every room—perfect for unwinding after a long day. The home felt truly luxurious, especially for the price. Jeff was a great host, and everything went smoothly. Highly recommend!

Private Heated Pool and Spa
This was our second time at Alex's house. Gets better every year. Alex is very accommodating.

Sanibel Harbour Resort - 137: Stairs to Beach
We recently stayed at the Sanibel Harbor condo with our one year old daughter and her great grandma, and we had the most amazing time! Her uncle also joined us for a fun filled Saturday. We can’t say enough great things about this stay. The immediate access to the water via stairs was a huge plus and one of the main reasons we chose this property. It was absolutely beautiful, especially considering how hard the area was hit just two years ago by Hurricane Ian. The restoration and care put into the property truly show. We’re so grateful for the memories made here!

Sanibel Island Florida 2 Bdm Condo
Great location, beautiful view of sunrise over the water and fort Myers. Loved the amenities at the club! Nice to have the bikes available and pool and hot tub were great as well.

The Parsonage-Private Villa-Heated Pool & Spa.
This was a great “home base” for our event at the Heitman House. It was nearby and walkable, with plenty of space for all our guests. The house and backyard were excellent for hosting meals and hangouts, and the place was really well-stocked, making it feel like home and not a random rental. The beds were comfy and there were plenty of linens, including lots of extras so despite being at full capacity for days we didn’t need to go without. I really appreciated the amount of bath and pool towels that were provided! The hosts were responsive and had anticipated many of our questions and needs. Details like the kitchen having multiple coffee makers, and extra bug spray & beach chairs were nice touches.

La Casa On Mango, heated pool-5 min walk to Beach
My family met at FMB for Christmas and stayed at Andy’s house and it was just what we needed! The location is great, quick walk to the beach and restaurants and shops. The area is definitely still a mess from hurricane Ian, but places are starting to reopen and the beach is still lovely and clean. The house had everything we needed to cook meals and lots of stuff to take to the beach!

3 Bed 2 Bath Heated Pool Home with Privacy Fence!
Great home. We were very satisfied and would highly recommend this location.

Villa Coral with boat dock & waterview- own pool
We spent the month of March at this home and enjoyed the experience. With only solar heat we were afraid we wouldn’t use the pool but it was great and enjoyed lots of floats. We thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor area and beautiful canal views. Everything looked like the pictures. We loved the quiet neighborhood too

Cottage Close to Vanderbilt Beach Heated Pool
Loved staying here. Very very clean with a beautiful pool and yard. It was a perfect location, close to everything. Thank you.

Cozy Cottage Near Vanderbilt Beach
It was a wonderful stay! Ben was very kind and provided wonderful service during our stay. He provided bikes so we wouldn’t have to pay for parking and it was only 10 minutes to the beach. If you’re looking for a quiet vacation, this is the place to be! The home was plenty of space to host friends family or even furry companions.

Modern 4 bedroom villa w/ private heated pool
Great location in Naples close to shopping and restaurants. House was beautiful and well appointed, great for families. plenty of space. Gorgeous lanai and pool. Will definitely stay again and recommend to other travelers.

Crystal Palms
As always, this is a great place!

Chameleon Guest Cabana
Amazing host! Super responsive and understanding. Stayed with my cat, it was a very pleasant experience. I was so surprised by the amount of things it had, good shampoo, conditioner, coffee maker and even some coffee pods! I highly recommend this place, neighborhood quiet and beautiful.
Family-friendly home rentals with a pool

Sunset Paradise - Beautiful Sunsets and waterfront
The house we reserved was better than expected and everything was immaculate. Neil, the property manager responded right away when we called about a broken vaccum cleaner. Excellent response time and very professional. Unfortunately a thunderstorm damaged the AC and it couldn't be fixed right away, but Sean moved us right away to an even larger house. He even reimbursed us a day for our having to move and the night without AC. We definitely would rent from Sean again.

Briarwood Paradise - The Briarwood Rental Company
This is the second time we've stayed at this house, and the third time with Marc and Anne as hosts. They're great! The house is very complete, tidy, there are plenty of towels and the kitchen is a 10. I recommend opening the windows and letting the sun in. It's a super bright house. The patio is always our meeting place: between the pool and the barbecue. We had a problem with the dryer, and Marc was absolutely prompt, attentive and helpful. The weather didn't help, but we still had a FANTASTIC time. The house has bicycles, which we enjoyed riding around the neighborhood, which is beautiful. Thanks for having us once again. We really take care of and feel at home in your home. Because that's how you make us feel, really well taken care of. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING ❤️

3bed 2bath Home Pool/Hottub/Spa East Naples Lely
Carla's place was definitely worth the price. The home was meticulously clean and we really appreciated the modern kitchen appliances, which we used daily to cook and clean the dishes. The furniture is very comfortable, although we found the extra mattress topper in the master bedroom making the bed too soft. The master shower is amazing! Kids and I loved the pool and the partial shade throughout the Am morning and evening. Everything was supplied - beach chairs, umbrella, pool toys and fully stocked kitchen. Even rice cookers, crock pot and air fryer are available, as well as 3 ways to make coffee ☕. Publix stores and Walmart very close by, Loudermilk park/Beach within an 18- minute drive. Thank you, Carla, this would be a place to come back to if visiting area again.

Lovers Key Beach Club Suite
Very clean and well equipped condo on the 10th floor overlooking the gulf and bay.l From our lanai we watched dolphins, ospreys and one morning a bald eagle diving for fish. Scott was a great host and responded to any questions we had within minutes. The property has a nice private beach, pool and 4 weber gas grills. Flippers restaurant is only steps away. The only issue is that the new bridge onto Ft.Myers Beach is under construction so at times there is construction noise and access to the beach south of the bridge is blocked. This was not a big issue for us and overall we had a very enjoyable week.

Summer Savings Lovers Key Beach Club Private Beach
Condo was very nice, clean, and updated. It had everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable! We were a little bummed that the balcony didn’t face the water, it faces the parking lot but we still were able to see from the side. The beach was great, private and we saw a lot of manatees and dolphins very close up. The bridge that is being built was interesting to watch and once completed, the views will be even better! Definitely a cute little place to stay! Owners were great and very responsive! Overall, it was a very fun 2 weeks!!

Ft. Myers Beach Condo - Location-Location-Location
The place was clean and met or expectations. They always communicated on time and was very responsive. Nice person indeed!

Waterfront pool/hot tub, south-facing w/ boat dock
Cute little place. Very quiet neighborhood but only a 5 minute drive to grocery stores and other amenities. My girls enjoyed the pool and the dock for fishing although they didn't get any bites. It was perfect for our small party of 3 for a quick trip to SW FL. Would definitely consider John's place again.

4th of July, Heated Pool, Dock, Kayaks, Bikes,
This was a really great location! Everything that Jeff put in the listing was accurate. We had a really great time at his AirBNB. Jeff was very proactive with any instructions/expectations for our stay and was very responsive to all of our questions. We really enjoyed the kayaks and bikes he included with the AirBNB.
