It was truly a very short walk from the house to the beach. They were not misleading at all. Therefore, seven adults and one child, are satisfied customers."

"We had a wonderful stay at Sun Palace! The split floor plan was perfect for our family. The house was incredibly clean and had a well stocked kitchen, which made it easy for home cooked dinners. The pool was clear and well cared for and pool towels were provided. The house was just a short walk to the beaches and an easy drive to several restaurants. There was even a little beach wagon and some sand toys that came in handy for the kids. The host was extremely responsive. We’d totally stay again!"

"Great Beach Get-A-Way - This property was perfect for my family & my best friends family. We like to vacation together & this place was charming! We had 9 people in total and we fit perfectly. The pool was nice for when we were tired of the beach. Big huge fridge that easily stored all our food for the stay. Short walk to the beach so no need to have to drive & pay to park! "

"Great, clean house. Plenty of room for our family of 6. Beds were all comfortable and plenty of towels. Perfect location to walk to the beach right down the street. House had wagon, 5 beach chairs and some sand toys, beach towels. The pool was nice for the kids. The houses behind were a bit of an eye sore, some might say it ruins the ambiance while outside. A tall privacy fence like the neighbors would fix that!
Overall good house and we enjoyed our vacation. Would recommend! "

The walk to the beach was super easy but the traffic is horrible and it’s almost impossible to go into town in the afternoon and extremely difficult to get back on the island in the morning"

"The house was exactly as described. Everything was clean and getting to the beach was a very short walk. The extra beach chairs and cart were a huge plus. We liked the rooms as 2 were on one side and the other 2 on another. This worked perfectly for our 2 family’s. Huge fridge to store food for days. A nice gas range and large kitchen to make breakfast and prep beach snacks. I would definitely rent here again."

Comfortable for 10 adults if sharing a bedroom is OK with guests and utilizing a trundle bed works for guests. Would be difficult for 12 as stated in the description. Wonderful to be able to walk back and forth to and from the beach! Overall a great vacation home for a week!"

Rooms were comfortable and we had plenty of towels for bath and beach. The heated pool was a nice hang out space. Our bike rental delivery went smoothly and we were able to get around easily. The area is still recovering from the hurricane but the debris is gone and construction is underway. Host was always friendly and available for advice."

"Family Spring Break - We had 6 adults and a 2yo for the week. The kitchen was perfect- all of the professional grade appliances were wonderful, especially the refrigerator size! There were an abundance of bath and beach towels. The walk to the beach with public access was very easy and short. We also walked to breakfast and coffee on several mornings. Communication with property management company was easy and they provided lots of information leading up to the trip. The pool heater didn’t work all week, so that was disappointing with a toddler, but otherwise it was a flawless stay."

"Fort Myers Beach is still pretty beat up and there are lots of destroyed buildings and closed businesses, but there were plenty of restaurants open and the beach was clean and beautiful. Other than the scuffed up scenery, it was a great place to vacation. This host was amazing. They were helpful and responsive. They were accommodating. They had clear and easy instructions. They answered the phone before and after we checked in. The place was really great. We had two families of four with kids from ages 1-4. The kitchen and fridge/freezer was more than big enough. Publix is just 0.8 miles away and away from rush hour traffic. The pool was great for little kids (and not easy for them to access unsupervised). The bathrooms were plentiful. The front patio was a great place to lounge in the sun and grill out. The pillows were not nice. If you care about pillows, bring your own. Everything else was really great. Thank you!"

"Super cute place close to the beach - Adorable place with a perfect pool in the back and walking distance less than a block from a beautiful white sand beach. Four nice bedrooms- one has two queen beds and the master has a king. Two of the rooms have day beds. All the rooms have TVs. Backyard pool is nice- however needs a privacy fence because it backs up to a few sketchy looking houses. Big washer and dryer available. Not a ton of kitchen stuff- pizza cutter, ice machine didn't work in freezer, no salt or pepper.
Overall loved our stay!"
