A piece of heaven on earth

spencers mom Canton Ct.
Review Submitted: May 8, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
The Island house is beautiful inside and out. The location is perfect!! You have privacy in your own back yard yet are so close to everything. If this house could talk it would say, "Welcome to Paradise, come in and relax! " Every room is so nicely decorated. Our 16 year old son especially loved the surf board on the wall above his bed!!

We thoroughly enjoyed the pool and all of the tropical foliage that surrounds it. It is perfect for cooling off on a hot day.The decorative touches and colorful pottery add to this tropical backyard paradise. It was fun watching the pelicans dive into the canal for fish!!

We enjoyed having such a well equipped kitchen. The grill just outside the door was also great for grilling up the fresh grouper and delicious gulf jumbo shrimp which we purchased at the local farmers market. Just a short walk away.

We did not need a car for anything. We rode the trolley to lovers key for 50 cents and found a ton of beautiful seashells. Stopped at Publix grocery store on the way home and stocked up on groceries for the week.

It was hard to leave such a wonderful place. We will cherish the great memories of the island house and hopefully create new ones in the future. Three cheers to Barby and Jeff for creating this little piece of heaven on earth!! It was just perfect in every way. Thank You so much. The pictures of this house are great...but being there in person is even better!! I would highly reccommend it to anyone looking for an extra special get away!!

Review Submitted: December 30, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
Sarah...I couldn't have asked for a better review. Barby and I are so glad you had such a great stay at The Island house. We put alot of effort and love into renovating the house last year and Barby adding her beachy, colorful touches thruout. Having our guests enjoy themselves makes it all worthwhile. We love sharing our local knowledge of the Island with our guests ....favorite restaurants, beaches for swimming,golf courses or secret places to shell. We hope you will come back again. Barby and Jeff

Great location and homey feel!

Review Submitted: November 18, 2009 Date of Stay: November 2009
My husband and I, with another couple friend, stayed for a long weekend in early November. We were pleasantly surprised with the location--easy walking distance to all the highlights at Ft. Myers Beach. The condo itself was very clean, and we really enjoyed the modern kitchen. We also loved having the pool overlooking the canal--we watched a few sunsets while soaking in the pool--would have loved to see a manatee, but settled for the beautiful birds that stopped by!

Fun in the Sun

Sun Lady Boston, MA
Review Submitted: September 1, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
The Island house was perfect in every way! Stayed almost the whole month of March 2009- the house was so close to the beach, walked right across the street and we were on the beach. No need to haul your beach accessories- they have everything- chairs, towels, umbrella!
The house was very clean and decorated in a cute beachy decor. The beds were comfy! Very convenient to have 2 bathrooms. Kitchen was well equipped with everything you need to make meals at home. As others have noted- the house is located so close to Times Square and many other restautants and night life, you can have breakfast and lunch at home and go out at night! We loved the Cottage up on the beach- good food, reasonably priced, live music every night and right on the beach! Beached Whale restaurant right up the street has great Happy Hours and the Lanai Kai is a great spot to watch the sunset!
The house has a lovely back yard on the canal with a small but very clean pool. Chairs to lounge around pool were nice. It was great to come home from beach and relax by the pool watching the boaters explore the canal. Watch the pelicans dive for fish and watch the flying fish jump around.
The owners, Jeff and Barby were very nice and accomadating. It is apparent that the owners take pride in their home! You will not be sorry that you choose the Island house for your stay in Fort Myers!

Ft. Myers Cottage

Zetamm Tipton
Review Submitted: April 18, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
House was very clean and very well decorated, Pool was small but clean and perfect for cooling off. Easy walk to beach and to get to everything in the Times Square area. Easy drive to grocery store. Pictures are true to what we found when we got there. 5 older teens I chaperoned on Spring Break thought it was better than a hotel. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils, plates, etc. to make do for a vacation. Beds and futon were comfy. Having 2 baths was wonderful!! They were roomy and nice. Liked having beach towels, chairs, umbrellas, bikes, pool floats to use. Washer and dryer were great to have on site. Owners were very friendly and helpful. Would rent this place again!
