We had a Great Time

We really enjoyed our time at Cardinal House. The view of the Gulf is incredible from the decks!! The house has everything you would need. My kids really appreciated the Christmas tree, lights on the deck and the wreath. We spent a lot of time walking on the beach and floating in the Gulf looking for sand dollars and conch shells on the beach and on the sand bars.

Wonderful Stay

Great property especially for an adult group. Very comfortable bedding, extremely well stocked. Nice views from both decks. Very clean. Caring host. Everything was so nice we did not even mind the hurricane that much😀. You will enjoy staying here.

Last Week of Summer

So happy with our stay at Cardinal Island. From the owners hospitality to the perfect beach location. No surprises and perfect weather despite the tropics amping up. Wonderfully relaxing weekend even met new friends that were neighbors during our stay. Definately will return.

Beach reclaimation going on in front of the property 24 hours a day. It is right on the beach. The house itself is cute. Plenty of room. Enjoyed the deck for sunning and watching the pelicans fish. We did a dolphin watching cruise that launched a few miles north of the property. We also took the Key West Express down to Key West for a day. This cruise also launched just a few miles north of the property. If it was not for the construction noise all day and all night every day of our stay, I might have given this Vrbo a higher rating. But that did negatively impact our visit.

Beautiful view

Our family absolutely loved our stay at this property! Steps away from the beach with fantastic views of the ocean from both decks. We enjoyed incredible sunsets from either the deck or the beach every night. The house is so welcoming and comfortable. The owners have thought of everything you will need for an easy, relaxing stay. Communication with them was awesome! We would definitely book this property again if we return to Fort Myers.

Loved our stay!!

The property was everything we hoped for and more! The home came well furnished and we loved being right on the beach. The main deck off of the living room became a favorite hang-out place for breakfast and late afternoon unwinding after a day at the beach. The bedrooms were very comfortable. If we ever vacationed in Fort Myers again, we would seriously consider staying here again. Communication with the owners was very easy and they answered all of our questions, including answers about fishing charters.

Exceptionally Exceded Expectations

We stayed here over the week of Thanksgiving. The house description and pictures were right on. In fact, the house was even better than expected. It had everything we needed plus. My husband and I, our daughter and son-in-law, and my mother had a wonderful time and were very comfortable. The kitchen, bedrooms, and bathrooms worked out really well for our week long stay, The decks are to die for. Do notice though that there are many stairs so it was a little tricky for my older mother. Morning coffee or sunset watching - they had chairs and tables and lounges. The beach is right there so it was so convenient. Publix was a quick drive or a 5 minute walk. The owner was VERY responsive when we had a question upon checking in. I highly recommend this property and would definitely stay here again. We have rented many times through VRBO in other places. This one was exceptional!

House is right on the beach so you get the beautiful views of the ocean and easy to walk to. House was well stocked with items (soap, cooking utensils, etc.), so we did not have to buy a lot of extra outside of food for our stay. Owners were very communicative, easy to reach, and very nice. We loved the house and our stay!

Beautiful ocean front vacation

What a week. We had a wonderful time with family in this beautiful ocean front beach house. Spent our days at the beach or on one of the many levels of the house’s decks and our evenings inside playing games or chatting. So close to Publix too. Owner was very responsive and friendly. Would HIGHLY recommend.

Sunny Beach Escape

We had a wonderful vacation at Cardinal Island. This house was stocked so well- we have stayed with other agencies before on FMB and this house beat them all hands down! Communication was excellent with the hosts. We had a great time shelling and relaxing- the decks were awesome to watch the sunset and the below patio area was a great place to escape from the sun. We plan to book again next year.
