Perfect Family Getaway

This house is amazing! Everything was perfect for our family beach winter vacation. The place is very well-appointed, immaculately clean. The amazing ocean views from the large balcony was my favorite. We loved every minute and were sad to go. The rental management was very responsive and always available to answer our questions and provide excellent recommendations. It was great to walk to the Ft. Myers Beach shops and restaurants. We are definitely coming back!
