About this property
🐾 Dog Friendly, Spacious Beach Retreat, only Steps to Sugary Sand, Conveniences and all the Fun!
The Reef at Seaside Retreat, your unique place in paradise, is a beautifully renovated 2 bedroom, 1 bath, first floor apartment located mid island in a tranquil neighborhood. Two blocks to the beach with easy beach access points. Relax in comfort on the front porch sipping your favorite drink while the sunsets stream light through the palms. Hotel style linens and towels help you rest well for a full day of sun and fun!
This property is located mid-island with the beach access just steps across Estero Boulevard. The white sugar sand beaches are the cleanest on the island. A quiet relaxing location for that desired getaway, yet just a short walk along the beach is a kiosk for jet-ski rentals, parasailing rides, and even dolphin tours along a 7-mile stretch of white, sugary sand beach.
Super convenient to the supermarket and an upscale bistro on the bay. Trolley service along the boulevard is available to transport you to Times Square, with all of its restaurants, clubs, and night life.
The property has a fantastic lanai porch with ambient evening lighting that leads to the property entrance. The nicely furnished living area has comfy sofa, TV with Roku and YouTubeTV. Dining area finds a table seating 4, and a fully equipped kitchen. Everything is available that you would need to cook daily multi-course dinners, or simply make a pot of coffee in the morning.
There are two beautifully decorated bedrooms. The master bedroom has a queen size bed, closet, and plenty of dresser space. The second bedroom has twin beds that can be pushed together to create a King. The bathroom are tandem with a shower, toilet and sink in one room and a toilet and sink in the other.
The property has a common area with a washer and dryer and a propane grill. You'll also find parking space accommodating 2 vehicles.
There are many restaurants and shops a short drive north across the bridge towards south Fort Myers. The same is true if you drive south towards Bonita Beach. Water activities abound with fishing charters, scuba and snorkel adventures, jet ski rentals, para-sailing, etc. Fort Myers, Bonita Springs and Naples are all modern cities with plenty of shopping, dining and sight seeing to experience.
The South West International Airport in Fort Myers is close by for convenience as well.
For our guests with allergies, this property is non-smoking. Dog friendly restrictions and fees apply. Dogs are permitted up to 25 lbs and non-aggressive breeds only with pet fee paid in advance. Limit of two. Fee is $20 per night per dog.

Perfect spot for a family vacation
This house was perfect for our family vacation. It was spacious, clean, and just a short walk to the beach. Our kids loved it, and we really appreciated how close we were to everything!
We absolutely loved the place and we loved how close it was to the beach!! Thank you so much for an amazing stay!!

The Reef felt like the perfect little beach hideaway. I loved relaxing on the porch and winding down with some TV after a day in the sun. It had all the cozy vibes you want for a laid-back getaway.

Great Location and Relaxing Stay
This spot was perfect for a relaxing beach vacation. It was under a 5 minute walk to the beach. Super relaxing and cozy at the end of the day. My wife and I look forward to returning and enjoying the soft sand.

Wonderful house! Close to the beach! Quiet and peaceful place. What was missing was a mosquito net on the door and a clock on the wall.
The property was exactly the same property that was in the picture. Extremely clean and well decorated with very nice furniture and beds. The beach was only three minutes away by walking and not seven. And exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a comfortable clean And convenient place to stay.

Average stay
Didn’t actually stay at this unit. About 2 weeks before my stay, was told the unit above wasn’t ready so was downsized to a 1 bedroom 1 bath unit without any discounted price. Kitchen was very small. Shower only with lukewarm water. The comforter had dog hair from last visit. Best thing about the stay was location, about four minute walk to the beach. Also check in process was easy.overall average stay, not sure I would rebook again though

Nice
Nice, comfortable two bedroom condo close enough to the beach to walk to it. There's a couple of quirks that are inconvenient. One, you can't have the living room fan on and turn out the lights which isn't the best at night watching TV. Two, the bathrooms, you literally have to go through the half bath to get to the full bath. So if someone is using one you either have to wait until they are done, close your eyes, or you're stuck. Other than that, it's a nice place to stay.

Our stay was great, slept our group of 6 comfortably. Nice neighbors and quiet area, not too far from the downtown area and close by the beach.
The Reef at Seaside Retreat is a cozy, well-located spot just two blocks from the beach. The front porch is perfect for enjoying sunsets, and the interior is comfortable with hotel-style linens. It's a great choice for those seeking a peaceful getaway with easy beach access.

Amazing experience!
From booking to checkout, the entire process was seamless. The management company made everything so easy, and we loved how well-maintained the home was. It really felt like a home away from home!
Located mid island 2 blocks from beach on a quiet side street. Nice house recently remodeled. Nicely decorated and comfy furniture. Management quickly responded to a need.
Spacious, clean, and quiet location! About a 5 minute walk to the beach & maybe an 8 minute walk to The Mound House! Conveniently located in between Publix & town/shops/restaurants! Ubers and Golf Cart rides are pretty quick, as well. The company is super responsive & constantly checked in with us to make sure we were enjoying our stay at their location. Would definitely book again! Thanks!!

Condo is nice. It says 2 bathrooms but it’s 1 1/2 and they are not separate. You have to go through the 1/2 bath to get to the full bath. I like a really hot shower and with the hot water fully on, the water is warm. The ceiling fan in the living room can only be on if the lights are on too which isn’t nice especially if you want to watch TV at night. Town is still recovering from Hurricane Ian.

The property is in a final stage of some very poor remodeling. There was no AC Vent in the master bedroom. Temps were near 90degrees. Kitchen chairs were falling apart, kids bed collapsed the first time my granddaughter sat on it. Vinyl siding was missing in several spots. Front stair was coming apart. Blinds were broken and tore apart. Kitchen cabinet would not open due to improper installation. No GFI in bathroom.
