We were told the pool was heated and the heat was not on. It was cool outside when we arrived so we sat by the pool but didn't get in. I called because as the outside temp came up the pool temp didn't. My husband was able to turn the heater on however it very warmed up. We were very disappointed as this was why we rented this house. We wanted the heated pool.

We enjoyed our stay and found it to be a great fit for our family. The house was spacious and had a nice layout. The kitchen was excellent, with lots of supplies and equipment, making it easy to cook meals at the house. The master suite was impressive with a nice closet and a huge bathroom. The two guest rooms were smaller but still perfectly functional. A big plus was that every bedroom had its own nice full bathroom. We also appreciated the extra full bathroom accessible from the pool area.The house was clean, but could really use a deep cleaning.The outdoor space is where this property really shines. The pool was clean, a nice depth (about 6 feet), and we spent a lot of time enjoying it and the whole backyard. The only downside was that the pool’s sides and bottom were a bit rough, which led to some scratches on the kids’ feet from jumping in. The backyard itself is beautiful and private, and we were able to use the lounge chairs on the patio to get more time in the sun. The dock was a great bonus—we even saw dolphins swimming through the back channel. We also liked the covered outdoor table area for eating and playing games, but there was an issue with ants on the concrete in that area and so they were constantly crawling on the table and chairs. We even got a few bites. We found the property to feel very secluded and peaceful. It was hard to leave the backyard paradise. We would definitely stay here again.

Lovely home, great location

Our family of 5 (a 55+ couple and our adult children) stayed at this home over the Christmas holidays. The house has been recently renovated, and the kitchen and bathrooms are very nice. We found the beds to be comfortable, and a selling point for us was that the house has 3 full baths, so all of us (ourselves, our son and daughter-in-law, and our younger son) each had a private bathroom. We found the furniture in the living room to be uncomfortable and there was not enough seating for everyone. In addition, the television system is incredibly complicated and difficult to understand. Perhaps this is just as well. If you're in paradise, you probably shouldn't be sitting around watching TV. We had an issue with the pool heat when we first arrived, and found the property management to be incredibly responsive in addressing our concerns. It was difficult to find a repair person on Christmas Eve, but they found a solution and the pool was up to a comfortable temperature by the morning of our 3rd day in the house. One minor comment about the pool: there is no railing at the steps leading in and out of the shallow end. For most this will not be an issue, but if you have mobility issues it can pose a challenge. I noticed this in the pictures in advance of our stay and made sure I had a cane available to help navigate the stairs. This home is in a great location off McGregor Blvd. There are some very good restaurants within a short drive, and there is a Publix right around the corner. It is a short drive away from both the Ford Edison Winter Estate and the Fort Myers Golf Club, and downtown Fort Myers, with some really great restaurants, is just a little bit further away. The backyard is large and fenced, so if you are travelling with dogs, as we were, there is lots of room for them to run around. My husband and son enjoyed fishing off the dock and caught a couple of catfish. The landscaping is beautiful in both the front and back yard. Overall, I would recommend this house. We've now rented 3 in the Cape Coral/Fort Myers area, and this one was by far the best.

I was told prior to arrival there was cosmetic damage to the home but when we arrived we found the cage over the pool was mid repair and the repairmen showed up on Sunday morning. Glad it was being fixed but communication that someone was coming to do work would have been best. I saw that several of your property postings mentioned that there were issues due to the hurricane which is completely understandable. Just think it would have been good to make us aware. Overall it was a great property and place to stay and we enjoyed our time in the sun! We contacted the team upon arrival about a couple of minor issues - outlets in bathroom didn't work and fan/light in one bedroom not working. The person we spoke to the morning after arrival couldn't help us with locating the breaker box or ideas of how to get the fan to work. We found the breaker box ourselves (behind a mirror) and fixed the outlet issue but never got the fan working and didn't get a response. Not a huge issue but it would have been good for there to be some guidance regarding minor issues such as breakers for the property managers to reference and to get a follow up response for open issues.

We have stayed in many rentals and this one was at the top as a favorite! We stayed in the area as our son was in a baseball tournament and the house was such a nice retreat to come back to after a long, hot day on the baseball fields. The house was spacious and clean and newly updated. The rental agency was very responsive with questions and made for an easy check-in and check-out process. Very impressed!

We stayed in this great rental after relocating to the area as we searched for a home to purchase in the area. It’s quiet, spacious, bright and had al the amenities my family and I needed during our stay. The management company was wonderful. Very responsive to ie needs and made many upgrades while we lived there.. replaced a sofa, bar stools, bbq, etc. They take great prices in their property. We also asked to extend a couple of times and they were quick to accommodate our requests which we greatly appreciated!
