Great place to stay!

We enjoyed our recent stay in this condo. It was very comfortable, clean and had everything we needed for our two week stay. The owners were good to work with. This was our third stay at the Estero Beach and Tennis Club and we always enjoy the area. We mostly relaxed and spent time on the beach while we were there, but there are good restaurants and shops nearby and plenty of things to do.

Beach couple’s getaway

Darlene and John’s property was excellent. Clean and updated. All the amenities that you could ask for in the kitchen. Beach towels and umbrella, coolers and a wagon to take things to the beach. This is still an area under construction, even on the beach. So if you are aware of that situation, you will be fine staying here. The hosts are extremely responsive.

Florida did not disappoint

This property was fantastic. The location was wonderful, just steps off of the beautiful beach. We saw dolphins almost every day and were blessed daily with beautiful sunsets. The property was very well described and had everything we needed including beach supplied. I hope we can stay again sometime!

The Condo itself was very clean and provided nice amenities, no complaints on this. Overall the property in general still has some time before it's fully restored. That said, I will consider going back in two years once the restoration is complete.

Everything as Expected and More

Our host was quick to respond to questions. The place was so clean and the pictures didn't do it justice. The balcony is roomy and you can see the whole island from there. We were able to see sunrise and sunset from up there. The place had everything we could have needed. An extra perk was that all the windows had electric blinds which were so nice when we didn’t want so much sun or wanted complete darkness. It was really nice to be so close to the beach and had everything to take down there. We didn't like the check-in process because it was outdoors and it was extremely windy and we had paperwork to fill out & waivers to sign because of the construction, but we realize that it is short term because of the hurricane damage that the whole Island endured. Getting anywhere on off off the island took extra time also due to construction along with the lack of businesses open. We were looking for a peaceful place to spend or 30th Anniversary and that was the perfect place.

Absolutely Perfect!

This was one of the many trips that we've taken to Florida as we go all the time. We absolutely had a great trip this time! John Donovan was the best host that we've had in our many years of going to Florida - BAR NONE! He responded to our questions and all correspondence within minutes. He really puts a lot of thought into how he rents his condo to make it comfortable and fun for his guests. He has everything you need right there. The location is perfect! It's close enough to be convenient to the action and far enough to be away from the hustle and bustle. Booking, check in and check out were very easy. The condo and property are very well maintained and the views are excellent! You can see the Gulf and the bay from the balcony. It's the best of both worlds. We will definitely be booking again with John and I highly recommend this condo. I can't say enough about it! The only complaint that I have is that vacation ended and I couldn't stay longer....

This is the 4th unit we’ve used at Estero BTC and the location is perfect.

This unit is nice and quiet and away from the noisy elevator. The beach chairs, towels, and wagon were fabulous for the quick trip to the beach. The unit could use some updating but when you’re on vacation, you’re not in there that long.

So perfect

The location could not be better. It’s a short walk to lovely beaches or a short drive to others. Stores and restaurants nearby. View from balcony is wonderful. The host thought of everything and has included many extras. There is even a wagon to carry the beach chairs and beach umbrella. I normally don’t stay in a place that doesn’t have washer/dryer in the condo or especially one that doesn’t have a dishwasher? But for two people I was able to get over myself and wash dishes by hand. I think the condo would not feel quite as roomy with a dishwasher because as it was, it felt perfect, with lots of storage space and many extras to make the vacation perfect.
