Pool was amazing. Perfect location to beach

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!

Great Family Place

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.

FMB summer 23'

We loved our stay at this property and it was a perfect location for our family. A short walk to the beach, screened in pool, grill, and screened porch were a few of our favorite things. Laundry on property was a bonus. House was very clean and the manager was extremely responsive. Easy and wonderful stay. The public beach access is just at the end of the street and less than a block to walk. We love it in FMB! This was a great property!

Relaxing Getaway

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.

Spring Break

Had a lovely time at Fort Myers Beach. The property was clean, recently renovated and perfectly outfitted for a family. Extra beach wagon, kids games, we could have asked for nothing. It's seconds from the beach. Communication with property owner was quick and efficient and he was exceptionally helpful. It was also nice to see the community of Fort Myers Beach rebuilding and to be able to support those businesses.

Spring Break Ft Myers Beach

Property was in very good condition, clean and many conveniences such as beach equipment. The only trouble spot was the master show water was warm, not hot, so I used the guest bath to shower. Jeffrey was amazing and gave us tips prior to arrival and during the stay. We would definitely use this property or similar properties again. #FMStrong

CLEAN house in a great location

The house was very clean. We’ve stayed at several houses over the years and some have questionable cleanliness. Not this house. The house was very clean. The location was great. Just a short walk to the beach where it felt like we were on our own private beach. The pool and outside areas were great for hanging out, eating and playing with the kids. The host is incredibly responsive and accommodating. I would highly recommend this place.

Best Beach Christmas Vacation

My family had an amazing time at Jeff's property. Jeff was very responsive to any questions that we had during our stay. The house was in a great location. It was walking distance to a couple of restaurants and the grocery store. The beach is a short one and a half block walk. Sometimes we use the wagon that Jeff provided and other times we just carried our chairs. The beach is absolutely gorgeous easy to walk on and not crowded over Christmas time. The house was in pristine condition. Upon our arrival. There were plenty of blankets and bedding for our family. Jeff has some games, but now there are many puzzles waiting for anyone to tackle them. We left several there because we plan on returning again next year to visit. The pool was in beautiful condition and was warm on the cold days that we experienced, which were few. This was one of our favorite Christmas vacation trips that we have taken, which is shown by our willingness to return to the property next year. The convenience of Fort Myers airport and Punta Gorda airport allowed our adult children to come visit us while we stayed for a month. I would highly recommend the property to anyone who is looking for a relaxing fun and comfortable vacation.

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.

Repeat family vacation

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!
