"This was a great place for us to stay for my dad, brother, and I. 1 block from the beach if that is your thing. Plenty of space and it worked well for us as 3 male adults with 3 separate places to sleep (including the loft) and two bathrooms. We also liked the back patio as a place to hang out together. The hosts are very nice folks who we ran into outside a few times on the street / driveway a few times. I recommend this as a stay and would stay here again."

"Absolutely perfect spot. The balcony overlooking the lake was beautiful and we could see watch the birds and iguanas with the trees providing some seclusion. Easy walk to the beach and the supplies they provided (especially the cart) made our time on the beach very enjoyable. 10/10 would stay again."

"Our group of 3 had a great stay at this house! It's a nice short walk to the beach and the home is large, in a private location that is peaceful. There are beach chairs and a beach umbrella and we had a wonderful time on the beach. The owner was very friendly and helpful and the house was as pictured. It was also very clean, which is much appreciated. Would recommend renting bicycles during peak season, as traffic made it very difficult to drive to get anywhere north."

"We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. We had everything we needed for the beach, the kitchen was well-appointed, the artwork was beautiful, and there were so many places to gather and relax. The view from the deck was perfect for watching the herons, cranes, and even pelicans catch fish. It was truly a short walk to the beach. We will certainly book Blue Bayou next time we travel to Ft. Myers Beach."

The place is beautifully situated with lake views from the large balcony and a very short walk to the beach. The unit is very functional, well maintained and very clean."

"We highly recommend staying at Blue Bayou! It truly felt like being home in Beth & John‘s home. A vacation house just like in the books. So spacious, well decorated and in a great location- with the lake in front of you and the beach just a few minutes walk away. We stayed with our baby and toddler and could not imagine a better place to stay. We put our food on the grill every eve and watched the sunrise every morning. Next time we’re in Florida, we would not look further than this place- the house as well as Fort Myers Beach has character, the rooms are just as colorful as the houses in this little town. We went to other places in Florida as well, but they somehow all looked the same and did not feel so special. Although FMB is still recovering from the hurricanes and rebuilding will take a while, you can still feel the energy of the place and it felt good supporting the locals. The area just around the house is recovered and ideal for a quite getaway."

"I can only say positive things about Sun Palace.We arrived around 11 am way before check in time which is after 4 pm. I called them and the lady on the phone was extremely friendly and she knew right away who I was.I asked if it was Ok for us to park our vehicle on the property so we could head to the beach while we wait for the house to be ready and she granted us permission. Thursday evening around 7PM it was a heavy rain and wind and wind blew off some chairs on the balcony and one of the chairs fell on a glass table and shattered glass.Sun Palace was closed at that time and I called them Friday morning to let them know what happened so people don’t think we did it.Lady on the phone said they will send someone same day to clean it up.I told her they didn’t have to do that.We would be leaving next day and then when the cleaning crew comes they could take care of it.She said for safety reason would be better if they took care of it the same day,which they did.GREAT PEOPLE!"

"My family of 5 could not have had a better experience. Not only was the home perfect for our needs, the area is beautiful. It's also worth mentioning just how great it was to be back in Fort Myers Beach, and seeing the community rebuilding. It felt great contributing to their economy, and seeing the locals doing their part in rebuilding their place in what I call paradise. I also want to give a HUGE shout out to the owners of this house. We had to honor of being there at the same time as them, (not in the same part of the home, it's technically 2 houses in 1) and my goodness did they make us feel at home IN THEIR HOME. They helped us immensely by giving recommendations, teaching us about the area, but most of all, helped us personally by doing grocery runs for us during our stay, something I've never experienced from a host. They were part of what made this trip so great to be honest. Thank you Beth and John! We hope to see you next time! -The Perron Family!"
