"The house was in good condition and all the amenities worked as expected. It's a block from the beach which was very convenient. No issues with the pool. No issues with insects inside the house. Kitchen fully equipped, you just need to buy your condiments and food in a Publix, which is 5 mins away. The bed was not the best I have slept on, but not horrible either. My kids had the same feedback about the beds on their rooms. Overall, I think this property is good and for us it was great stay."

"9 of us stayed in this house for a long weekend and it fit us perfectly. There was plenty of room for us to sit out on the deck or by the pool in addition to the living/dining area. The walk to the beach was extremely close by. Although it wasn’t advertised/promised, this house had some beach chairs and towels that were left by previous guests that helped make our stay even more comfortable. Sun Palace staff were quick to respond and available when we requested an early check in. I would highly recommend this property if you’re looking to bring a crowd and be close to the beach!"

"We had a really good stay. The house was as pictured, pool was warm. Location was really the best thing about it, a very short walk to the beach. Unless we didn’t find it, having some basic spices like salt and pepper, and sugar for coffee would’ve been a plus. When we arrived it wasn’t ready for us due to a delayed cleaning from traffic, so that was a bit of an inconvenience waiting about 45 minutes before we could truly bring our stuff in and settle in. Overall though we would stay again."

Not noted on the website:
The lower level and garages were not available due to remodeling. Remodeling limited the way to get to the pool. Only a small spiral stairway or going outside and around through the back fence to get to the pool. Spiral staircase not an option for dogs or small children."

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!"

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.

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!"

All rooms had large screen TVs. With 5 women we wished there were mirrors in each bedroom. The house had sufficient kitchen utensils, dishes, pans, etc. The refrigerator was extremely large but the ice maker never worked. Not a problem buying ice because the freezer had lots of storage room! The pool in the backyard was nice. Shelling on the beach was great! Publix Grocery store only 1 mile away. Sun Palace management was very prompt in answering questions before our stay and when the BBQ grill had no propane they had it filled by mid morning. Great service!! Overall we really enjoyed our stay!"

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!"
