Return to Paradise

Here I am reviewing this little slice of heaven again. We stayed here last October, loved it so much we booked again for this October. But a few months ago we realized we just couldn't wait so we booked a week in April. There had been some nice little additions like the hammock on the lower level, a large screen TV in the 2nd bedroom, new carpeting in 2 of the bedrooms. I was so happy that a couple of tiny issues we had addressed after our last stay were taken care of.

The beach bungalow feels like home to us now. You can actually feel your blood pressure ease and all your cares wash away within a day. We love sitting on the covered deck watching the dolphins, the parents with their children, the joggers, the leisurely feel of the island lazily passing by. There is nothing on earth more relaxing and refreshing than a deep breath of fresh air with a dash of the spray from the sea.

At sunset everyone literally spills onto the beach to watch the sun go down. Voices and laughter fill the air. We usually eat out, but we make sure we're home for sunset. There are wonderful restaurants all over Fort Myers Beach to enjoy. We never had a meal we didn't love. I only discovered this area a year ago and we are hooked. One server at a local restaurant laughed out loud when we told him we live in West Palm Beach, but love heading the "the other side" to relax.

I hesitated to review again because I hate seeing the weeks snapped up. But I know how I rely on the reviews on HomeAway and it's only fair to do the same for others that they have done with me.

The house is impeccably clean and comfortable. The people in the area are warm and friendly and the beach is simply beautiful. The sand is so fine it's like talcum. This is not a grand and glorious home with many floors and decks and hot tubs that some will reach for; this is just what a beach house should be ... welcoming and comfy and never more than a few steps to the sand.

Can't wait to return for 2 weeks in October!

My wife and I booked this property as a honeymoon stay. We both were married previously and were bringing our adult children with us on vacation to get married in Ft. Myers and have a relaxing time with our kids. This house is awesome! We spent a short amount of time on the North end of the island in Times Square, because we did not want to leave our own private beach at this house. We ate every home-cooked meal on the covered porch. The kitchen is fantastic. The beach is great -- big enough so all of the beach walkers don't even come close to the house. We arrived early and the cleaning crew was not ready for us yet, but they said we could use the beach and chairs to make ourselves comfortable. All of our family members are asking how we found this house because they want to book it for next Spring break. We will be back. Lots of good memories with our kids.

Just got back from our 2nd journey to the "Beach Bungalow". My brother and sister (from Minnesota) and myself (Milwaukee) joined up there for our second year there.
Had a great time at a great place. Plan on doing the same next year. Thx for a great facility and location.
