My family and I thoroughly enjoyed this property. We stay in VRBO homes a couple times a year (not always leaving reviews) and this was such an amazing place to stay. The neighborhood is quiet, home was clean, the pictures are spot on....no surprises, you get what you see. We spent a lot of time at the home, more than we thought we would because it was so relaxing and perfect. The dock and chairs are perfect for watching all the action in the canal, which we absolutely loved! SO many different kinds of fish, mama & baby turtles and what I believe could have been a manatee. There is some boat traffic on the canal but not enough to be a bother and honestly everyone seemed very friendly. We had no problems finding places to eat and shop a short distance from the home. I recommend the farmers market on Tuesdays....good stuff going on there. We went to Bowman beach on Sanibel Island a couple of days, drove down to Fort Meyer's for dinner at Junkanoo on the beach....perfect and fun! The fridge/freezer went out after a storm blew through and Tina (property manager for our stay) was able to get us taken care of as soon as possible. We had to buy a large umbrella for our beach trips and didn't want to take it home so we left it for future renters to enjoy. We were disappointed that the fishing poles were (2 out of the 3) were broken and any type of tackle was a mess in the garage. We bought our own and left our extras there. Our favorite part had to be the pool and dock. SO relaxing and clean, the majority of our time was spend there in the peace & quiet. I highly recommend this rental and would definitely stay again. My only critique would be to have half window shutters in the large front windows. The home is so open and while I adore the natural light from all the windows we didn't like the lack of privacy (our opinion) from the large windows that have no covering at all and anyone from the street can look right into the kitchen, dining and living room area. The street isn't terribly close, however at night with lights on in the home you can really see what's going on inside without a problem. Was that a deal breaker? No, even with that I would stay again, all the other amenities easily make up for it.
