Wonderful Family Vacation
My husband and I, two adult sons with their spouses, and grandson age 4 and granddaughter age 1 stayed for a week in April. The beach was beautiful and the house was equipped with everything we needed; beach towels, kitchen equipment, beach chairs, a charcoal grill, and even a shade tent. Our host Linda was exceptionally responsive whenever I had a question. There is construction going on all over the island, so that can get a bit noisy at times. As far as the house goes I think the only thing I would wish for is a garbage disposal. We did a lot of cooking! The house is spacious with two living rooms and two wonderful balconies to sit out and enjoy dining al fresco. We will be repeat customers!

Perfect Family Beach Experience
This house was perfect for our family. There were 7-9 of us there each day and we had perfect weather all week! Things we especially liked about the house: -Enough really nice beach chairs, umbrellas, and shade tent. We made a little “camp” on the beach every day and we appreciated all the equipment. And the wagon!! Our son-in-law is expert at putting up and taking down things so that was fun. -enough dishes and silverware for us every meal. We loved the grill! Our son-in-law grilled every evening and that was fun making different things. We are good cooks and we had plenty of equipment to eat very well all week. - The sheets on our bed in the master bedroom main floor were great! -enough room to eat out on the deck every meal, which we did. -The house was very clean when we arrived early. It was so nice of the cleaners to let us come in with our stuff. -being right on the beach was the best thing We really had a wonderful time. Our family, our two daughters and our son plus my husband, are all home builders and also own rentals. So we appreciate a good place to stay and understand the owners desire to please, which she did! -Here are a few suggestions: -More Dish towels and dish cloths - night lights in the bathrooms -A few lidded Tupperware containers for food storage while guests are there -a new coffee pot

About the host

Hosted by Linda DeVarona

Host profile image
Our family has always enjoyed the beach. Our love of S.Florida and its diverse population is why we keep this location as our permanent home. Living on the east coast, allows us the 'best of both worlds', with the Gulf just two hours away.

Why they chose this property

When our children were young, we enjoyed going to a beach that typically was not too deep for our toddlers. This allowed us some flexibility in relaxing on the sand, with out the constant threat of deep waters for the kids. Typically, the warm Gulf waters will settle right about knee length, which is great wading water for kids. Teens can enjoy skim boarding on the beautiful waters. Jet Skis, paddle boards, parasailing, boating, fishing and tubing are some of the fabulous water sports are all at in your reach at Ft. Myers Beach.

What makes this property unique

We are afforded the luxury of being beach side (no crossing busy Estero Boulevard) yet, right off the direct sands of the gulf allowing for less expensive pricing. Direct Gulf front typically runs 10-15% more than the 'one back' homes. A true plus!!
