Photos and Description of the Fort Myers vacation bungalow rental
A Private Tropical Paradise

Check our newest Bungalow, Kathy's Tropical Beach Bungalow. Homeaway.com/919241 for availability if we are booked for your dates.

Duncan's Tropical Beach Bungalow is one of the 'coolest' homes in Southwest Florida. Perfect for a honeymoon, anniversary, or, romantic getaway. The 'Bungalow' has the feel of the islands with solid yellow pine and Mexican tile floors, high end West Indies style furnishings, Florida plantation shutters, crown molding in every room, gourmet kitchen...even an outdoor shower adjacent to the master bath for a unique shower under the stars.

French doors open onto a literal 'jungle' of palm (over 100) and banana trees, two sandy beaches bordering the oversize solar heated pool. Wriggle your feet in the sand, take a dip in the oversize solar heated pool, or, take a nap in the hammock. The vegetation is so dense, you can skinny dip in complete privacy. You would never guess you were surrounded by civilization. Two butterfly gardens are home to numerous species...

Everyone without exception has loved the Bungalow...close to everything. Please read our quests' reviews...

Should you be a TV or movie fan, the Bungalow offers 50 plus movies for you to enjoy on the new 47' H D flat screen TV

Just add freshly popped popcorn.The Bungalow is WI-FI equipped; stay connected while sunbathing in the hammock.

We welcome furry 4 legged creatures and the 'jungle' is completely fenced so they can run free. We simply ask that you behave as responsible pet owners...

Located in the historic McGregor Blvd. district of Fort Myers, Duncan's Tropical Beach Bungalow is conveniently located to our famous beaches, Fort Myers Beach and Sanibel/Captiva Islands, about 20-25 minutes; Regional SW Int'l airport is 25 minutes away.

We opened our 'paradise retreat' to guests in January 2009. Numerous guests have returned 2 and three times...One couple recently returned for the 4th time...pretty much says it all!

We realize that our prices are substantially below market for similar properties, (if you could find one) ...we also suspect that once you experience our lifestyle, you will be back, or, at least...recommend us to your friends.

Should we be booked, ask about our newest Bungalow, Kathy's Tropical Beach Bungalow. Awesome property.

Cheers,

duncan

Creating the 'Bungalow' has been a labor of love.My talented friend Hartmann did magic with the interior, 'green thumb' Annie supervised creating the 'Jungle'...over 150 palms, banana, and bamboo, two butterfly gardens, and an all natural irrigation system. Daughter Kathy contributed the two Sand beaches poolside.

Everybody loves the Bungalow....I love my job as innkeeper and yard man...

Exceptional Vacation Rentals, You Can't Go Wrong With Either One

My husband and I had the pleasure of staying in both Duncan's and Kathy's bungalows in January. I feel the same review applies to both properties.
If you searched on pet friendly you may have been prepared to make sacrifices as far as your comfort but have no fear Duncan's and Kathy's bungalows are PEOPLE friendly as well. Both properties are private, comfortable, clean, equipped with amenities not usually found in vacation rentals. If you are hoping for a quiet retreat the private swimming pools, fenced yards, fully equipped kitchens provide the perfect environment to relax and unwind in safe, quiet neighborhoods. If you are looking for a more active vacation the bungalows are Ideally located for sightseeing, restaurants, shopping etc.
The photos are an accurate portrayal of the homes but the thing that sets these apart from other rentals cannot be captured in photos. That "thing" is the owners. It is obvious from first contact that this is not just a business for them. They truly want their guests (notice I said guests not tenants) to have an enjoyable vacation. Their attention to detail is impeccable, they are never intrusive but quick to respond to any questions or issues that could arise.
Perhaps, Duncan and Kathy should start a consulting business to teach other property owners to provide a unique, comfortable environment, or manage properties for other owners so that guests will return year after year. After returning home and thinking about their special touches and deep commitment, I feel that I should be sending them each a thank you note. We are definitely hoping to return to their perfect vacation rentals!

First of all, as the other reviews have stated...the pictures do not do this property justice. Duncan is a great "host", and has done a terrific job giving the bungalow that vacation feel.
The property was very clean and everything was in good working order.
Duncan made himself available and was very quick to respond when we needed anything ( which was only once on the 2nd day).
We stayed for 2 weeks over Christmas and New Years. Duncan had a lighted tree and strings of lights for us to create a holiday vibe.
We brought our dogs, and they loved the property. It was fun seeing them in a differnent environment.
We would definetely recommend this property to our friends and family...or anyone looking for a great vacation rental.

During our stay we found a few great places...here are our favorite:


Enjoy your trip! ( We sure did!)

This is the second time that we have stayed at Duncan's Beach Bungalow and both times were absolutely awesome. The bungalow itself is super clean and offers are the comforts of home (comfy beds, towels, shampoo, soap, patio dishes, full kitchen). The backyard is to die for. The oversized pool is fantastic for swimming laps, tossing the kids in the air, or just lounging. We travelled with our young kids and our 2 1/2 year old loved the beach sand. The gecos provide endless fun for the kids.
The community is very quiet, lots of streets to go walking and biking around.
The area offers everything you need for groceries and shopping although look in the fridge and cupboards before buying condiments, jams, sauces. The kitchen is stocked with leftover spices, etc.
There is good outlet shopping about 35 minutes away. Very easy highway driving. We have recommended this place to a lot of our friends but it is always booked because once you go, you will want to make it your annual vacation spot.

LOVED IT!!!!

Quiet Retreat

5 of 5
Submitted: October 15, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
We can't say enough about our week in paradise, thank you Duncan for sharing your wonderful home and back yard retreat! We found the home immaculate and kitchen well stocked with everything you need and loved the comfortable king size bed. The pool was so relaxing, we spent the majority of our time enjoying the rafts and floating in the pool, the lush landscaping was beautiful and the neighborhood very quiet, so we really enjoyed being outside the majority of the time. Duncan's recommendations for restaurants were great, be sure to visit Crave in Fort Myers and Jararanda in Sanibel, absolutely wonderful food. Very nice area where the home is located, close to shopping and restaurants, Publix for groceries and Walgreens minutes away, close to Sanibel, Captiva and Cape Coral, just everything you need. My husband was able to visit a health club near by for the week (next to Crave) which was great. Duncan was very helpful answering any questions about the area. We absolutely hated to leave the Bungalow at the end of the week, we had such a wonderful time and can't wait to return!

Bungalow paradise

My wife and I stayed at the bungalow recently for a week and what a great time we had ! Upon arriving and meeting Duncan and Kathy and getting our first look at the place, we knew we were going to have a wonderful week, and we were right. One of our main concerns for renting a house by just looking at pictures on the internet is you are never really sure what it will “actually” be like.
No worries at the bungalow. The house was spotlessly clean and the backyard and pool are truly a tropical paradise. Take a look at the pictures, then go with the expectation that it will be even better, and you will not be disappointed.
Many nice touches at this place as well. Almost all the rooms have dimmers for the lights, there is a great 6 speaker surround system in the living room, which even has a plug for playing your Ipod tunes, which was a great feature. The master shower was wonderful as well, let alone the outdoor shower, which was a treat in itself. The king sized bed is uber comfortable, so when you finally get tired of playing, you get a great night's sleep.
The pool is simply awesome, mostly in the sun all day, but with the cover over the shallow end, you can hang out in the shade all day long if desired. Lounge chairs, chaise lounges, 2 sitting areas with tables, a hammock, pool floats, totally private with trees and landscaping done just right. Suffice it to say, if we ever build a pool for our house, I would want it to be as nice as this.
It was truly a perfect week to get away and relax. Plenty to do in the Ft. Myers area and plenty of great local restaurants, the beaches, etc, but always looked forward to getting back to the bungalow too just unwind and play.
We will definitely be back as we truly believe this is the best place to stay when in the Ft. Myers area.
