Perfect bungalow for 8!
María has a lovely property ready and well equipped to be enjoy! It is a 5 minute walk to the beach, we enjoyed walks during the day and at night. Downtown fort Meyers is a 15 min walk. We brought our dog with us and lovely walk to the end of the street as well to enjoy the inter-coastal wind and view. The property itself is very well laid out! Everything is a as pictured or better! Kitchen fully stocked with accessories of all sorts, including BBQ tools and everything you can think of needing! Maria was great in communicating with us. Flexibility of early check in or late check out with advance notice and possibly some small fee. The pool was perfect to enjoy after coming back from the beach. We traveled with our parents in their 60’s, and our kids 10/12. The house was perfect for all ages. Spent a lovely Mother’s Day weekend there! Thank you Maria looking forward to being back soon!

Small House with a Big Punch
This house is perfect. Super clean, the right amount of space and every amenity you might need. Lots of little extras are a very nice touch. Made some great meals in the well-appointed kitchen and grill outside...and the backyard is truly a relaxing oasis. Communication and check-in was seamless and owner was quick to respond to our questions. Couldn't ask for much more. Ft Myers Beach is coming back strong too. Don't hesitate to head down there and stay here. Wonderful weekend!

Family getaway on FMB
Overall, our experience with Maria and the property on Pearl Street was fantastic. The property was clean, newer looking, decorated well, and had everything we needed. The pool was absolutely perfect for our family of 5 (3 kids, ages 10, 8, and ). We also were very impressed with how easy it was to get to the beach. The wagon provided by the property was also very helpful for our beach gear. We contacted Maria a couple of times with questions we had, and her response time was just excellent. She was an amazing host, and we couldn't recommend her enough. We hope to be back to this property in the near future!

Great Two Night Stay in Well Equipped and Fantastically Located Cottage
We had a great stay at Maria's home. The location is fantastic, the outdoor area is wonderful, communication with the host was great, and beds were very comfortable. We had some difficulties figuring out the heating for the pool and hot tub but when this happened Maria was extremely responsive. The outsoor space is very private and relaxing. The location is awesome - so close to the beach. The snacks and coffee with creamers ready in the fridge were a nice touch. The interior space is a bit tight, which we felt because of some bad weather during our stay, but totally doable for a family of four. Overall, this is an awesome spot in FMB!

Perfect Little Bungalow
Stayed for 2 nights after spending 5 days on Marco Island. Was the perfect way to end the vacation. House is great for 2 adult couples looking to just relax and chill. Pool and hot tub are great and the house was very clean and had everything you could need and more in the kitchen and bathrooms. Easy walk to the beach and less than 10 min walk to bars and restaurants. Can't say enough nice things about Maria, the owner. She was extremely responsive and very welcoming. Highly recommended if you are looking for an easy, low-key getaway. Great to see the area recovering!

New property
Great location as easy to beach and downtown. Good for 2 couples or small family. Both bathrooms are outside of the bedrooms, which is a little inconvenient. We were the first to stay at this place after the remodel from Ian damage and the pool didn't work. Since it was over New Years they couldn't fix for 2 days, but they did resolve with a new pump.

I am so sorry for the pool situation. It was frustrating to me as well but out of my hands. The pool guy drove all the way to naples to pick up the part but everything was closed on New Years day. Thank you again for being so understanding.

This was a GREAT spot for a family getaway. A truly short, easy walk to the beach and the kids (3 & 1) really enjoyed having a pool in the backyard. This is one of the only places I could find that was pet friendly, which is a huge plus! Communication with property manager was smooth and easy. We ended up extending our stay an extra night because we enjoyed it so much. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a relaxing, quiet family spot.

Nicely updated home, has all ammenities
House was updated and clean. Had many extras that we liked such as soap, TP, PT's, shampoo/shower gel, makeup remover, anything you'd need in a kitchen, beach/pool towels, plenty of seating at the pool. Bed's were wonderful! Suggestion...turn the heat up in the small shower. It was barely lukewarm. All adults ended up using the big shower because it just wasn't warm enough to use. Otherwise, great location and super easy communication with owners and property manager!

The property is SMALL but makes up for the size with an ABUNDANCE of accommodations. Perfect for a family setting! Kitchen is stocked with everything you’d need from home. I was more than impressed with the extra pillows and linens for the futon and chairs to allow more sleeping arrangements. The house was designed with vacationers in mind- very thoughtful.

Our Vrbo stay
The size of bedrooms were smaller than looked in pictures. No real closets to put clothes & suit cases, & could barely walk around the beds. The spare bathroom was rarely used due to smell from sludge pump system. When turn faucets on gray water bubbling up from shower drain could be heard. When flushed the toilet the smell was bad. That shower was never used. After It was flushed, it improved the Odor for 1 or 2 days but then the odor came back if you used the sink or toilet. The pump system should have been working from an outside pit and not from inside or should have been vented to the outside instead of through drains & pump. The front room & kitchen were very nice but the furniture was uncomfortable. The pool & hot tub were very nice but the hot tub controller was not reliable & wasn’t working properly the whole stay so it had to be over road from the heater daily. The pool maintenance person said it needed a new controller pad. The location was good & neighbors friendly. The advertisement should have the square footage included as it appeared bigger based on the pictures. After researching up and down Ft Myers Beach this rental based on the size alone was priced to high. The owners & manager were accommodating & very nice to work with. Overall we made the best of our stay & enjoyed it & the whole Fort Myers Beach area.

Response from VrboOwner on 31 Aug 2023
I clearly stated on VRBO it is a small cozy house and named it Bungalow (means small house) to let people know it's small. The house has a full-frontal as depicting it's size as well as an ariel view. 1100 sq ft. The pictures also depict the bedrooms perfectly. The closet is in the entrance way to the master. In the master is two hanging areas as well as places to put your clothes away AND....4 heavy duty hooks on the walls for hanging long dresses, suits or whatever. We responded immediately to your bathroom situation and took care of it. You stated you did not use it. All we had to do is flush it and run the shower. It is a VENTED pump and grind system so nothing is allowed to go into that toilet but the norm. Also stated that in the welcome letter You said you never used it but you did. The crew told me they saw evidence that you did use the sink, shower and toilet. I was out of town and walked you through how to use the heater and asked you if I should call the pool company to come out and check it. You said NO as long as it worked you were happy. Parts are on backorder all over the country as you probably know in this day and age and I am waiting for the motherboard to come in. Some things are out of my control but it worked for you the entire time! If you did the comps right with Private pool/spa, bedrooms, bathrooms, LOCATION, and all the extras I provide for the tenants you would get the correct comps and know I'm priced right. VRBO has market maker analysis and sends out when we should lower and raise any of my 5 units. My places are always booked. I feel cost is most important to you, I offered my turo minivan to you for free for a week because I felt so bad what you went through at the airport with no rental car there for you. And you finally get in at 4 am after waiting 6 hrs waiting. Then you proceeded how they gouged you with pricing and told me they haven't heard the end of it. Check in is 4 and that is clearly stated on VRBO. You wanted an early check-in and check-out and when you had to pay fees for us to get extra cleaners, you were gruff with my assistant. We gave you both for free. The cleaning fee covers the unit to be cleaned after check out but again you stated you do not want to pay for weekly cleaning and again I waived it for you and paid my cleaners. When they were there, you gave accolades on the place and the service. My property manager came over immediately because you couldn't figure out the smart tv AND he found and loaded an app for you which worked for your needs. The 4 of us went beyond the call of duty for you. I realize there is always one person that you can't please. I wish I could have made your experience a wonderful one as that really is my goal but you can't say we didnt all try.

Our stay was very pleasant. The only problem I had with the property was the long set of rules they send prior to checking in. It’s extensive and could turn anyone off to the property. There is a non-refundable pet fee but they are not allowed in the backyard or in the pool. In my opinion keeping a dog locked in a house is not pet friendly. However, they did not bother us or check on us the whole weekend which was greatly appreciated since we’ve read previous reviews about neighbors peeking into the yard or inconvenient pool cleanings in the middle of their stays. But thankfully we didn’t deal with any of that and enjoyed our stay. If you can get past the long list of rules and being at risk of slipping up, you could have a nice time here!
