Enjoyed the house. Clean, comfortable and the location to the beach was excellent. Loved the Lanai!
We had the best trip at this location. The pool was great for our kids and adults in our group. The beach was such a short walk and Jeff had all the beach items and wagon that made the trips to and from so easy. We are already planning on staying here next year!
Overall it was a great stay. We had a couple of issues but nothing that wasn't addressed immediately. The beds are comfortable. The home was clean and had plenty of supplies.
Highly recommend, absolutely beautiful place right across from the beach. Pool is perfect for relaxing after a long day at the beach or for night swim. Publix is close by as well
Property was great, loved the 2nd floor screened porch off the kitchen and living room, pool was great to cool off in. Location from the beach was great, accommodations included were wonderful, beach chairs, beach buggy wagon, would definitely stay here again. Jeff is amazing, super accommodating, 5 star host for sure!
Jeff’s property was perfect for our family. We loved the pool, especially for the kids. The location to beach was great! Just a short walk away. Jeff was an outstanding host. The house was comfortable and had everything we needed. Would definitely come back!
We had so much fun at Dolphin Run Retreat. The house had everything we needed for a great family vacation. It came equipped with umbrellas, chairs, and a wagon for the beach in the morning and a pool for the afternoon. It was so close to the beach we also went to star gaze a few nights. The rooms were also nice with enough room for everyone to spread out and have a little space too. Overall, we would definitely stay here again next time through.
Amazing home, within walking distance of the beach. We really enjoyed the outdoor space and pool. Jeffrey is a wonderful host. He is a quick text away from any question. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home!
Jeffrey is an excellent host. He responded to our needs quickly. The home is located near the beach and a short drive to Publix grocery store. We enjoyed the beach daily with beach chairs and umbrella.
Wonderful home to relax and enjoy family time. Thank you for sharing your house.
Very nice house and only a 5-minute walk to the beach. Screened in front porch was very nice and relaxing. The house came with everything you needed for the beach; however, we had our own chairs so didn't need to use them. Pool was a nice addition but only used it once or twice as we spent our time on the beach. Will stay at this house again when we come back to Ft Myers Beach.
We had a wonderful time at Dolphin Run Retreat. Easy short walk to the beach where we were practically alone. Wonderful sunsets every evening with a nice group of locals and their dogs. The shuttle stop on the corner is quite convenient. We really didn't need a car. The neighborhood was quiet and safe. The house was clean and the beds were very comfortable. Loved having the private pool and patio. Appreciated the wagon, chairs, umbrella and coolers for use at the beach. We would love to stay here again. It was everything we were looking for.
This is the second time we have stayed at Jeff's property. It is always a very joyous occasion for our family as we spend the holidays and an entire month on the beach! Jeff has everything you need including chairs, a wagon toys for the beach and pool towels for the heated pool. The house is perfect. The outdoor screened in porch is one of our favorite areas where we spend many evenings watching the sunset and enjoying a glass of wine. Morning, coffee is also very enjoyable on the porch. The neighborhood is very clean and peaceful. We enjoy many walks around the neighborhood. The beach is a short distance from the house which we always pack up the wagon with our stuff and spend the day at. Publix is half a mile from the house and is an easy walk if you are just picking up a few things. Our favorite places to eat are fresh catch by Publix and flippers in lovers key. We cannot wait to return next year!
This house was absolutely fantastic. It offered all the amenities we were hoping for — from a beautiful pool area to very clean and well-stocked everything, just bring your suit case! The location couldn’t be better; it’s just a short walk to the beach, which made it easy to catch both sunrise and sunset every day, and easy for our 3 kids to walk. The rooms were spacious, modern, and spotlessly clean - LOVED the primary bathroom! We also appreciated the little touches — “party lights” and Bluetooth speaker by the pool, plenty of comfortable seating in the screened in porch, all the things you’d need for the beach, and incredibly comfortable bedding. Jeff was very helpful and very responsive for any questions we had. Our family has stayed in many places, but this one truly stood out. We would absolutely stay here again without hesitation!
This was our second stay at the property and it was wonderful, again! The house is large enough for our group of 6 and the pool was wonderful. Very relaxing and a short few minute walk to the beach. The walk is super easy. We used the grill this time and that was nice. We used the beach buggy and took chairs, an umbrella, sand tools all provided in the house.
A couple of the things we enjoyed in the area:
We also did a sight-sea-r cruise from fort Myers beach for the first time and loved it. We chose the shelling and eco tour because it gave us the chance to snorkel off big hickory key and look for shells. We played mini golf at pirates cove. We loved our dinners at Doc Fords, Dixie fish company, Love Boat ice cream.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful beach house!
Ideal beach house for a family in a great location.
We recently spent 5 nights at this property in Fort Myers Beach, FL and had a fantastic trip. The house was exactly as described on the VRBO listing and was ideal for our family of 5. My children very much enjoyed the pool. Everything was clean and all the listed amenities were available. The owner responded immediately via text message to a few simple questions I had during our stay.
You can actually see the ocean from the house for now at least until they finish rebuilding the whole neighborhood and the walk from the house until your feet are in the ocean is literally less than 5 minutes. There is a beach ready wagon at the property which makes getting chairs, umbrellas, coolers, etc. to the beach very easy.
Publix, a supermarket, is now open and is about a 3 minute drive from the house. The town of Fort Myers Beach is very much still rebuilding however the beaches were all open and are beautiful. The town itself seems to be coming back to life. Several restraunts have opened back up recently most towards the top of the island and we very much enjoyed eating at waterfront tables when dining out.
