Just what we wanted!

Review Submitted: October 27, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
We were so pleased with everything at the condo. It was just what we wanted for a week of R&R at the beach. The location was great and the condo itself had everything you could want. It was wonderful to be so close to the water and sit on the lanai drink our coffee and watch the dolphins in the morning. We couldn't have had a better vacation. We do hope to spend time there again. I would recommend this place to anyone that needs a good quiet vacation. There are many things to do if you choose, but we don't need much but the beach, a good book and some sun. Had a perfect week. Thank you for providing such a wonderful place.
Owner's Response: We do everything we can to provide our guests with a great spot to vacation but there are some things I have no control over... I can't promise perfect weather or a time when the dolphin will decide to swim by. I'm glad you were able to experience it all! Vacation time is to short to be disappointed in your accommodations. We look forward to your return to Cornerstone...thank you. Lori

My wife and I were extremely pleased with the ocean view, comfortable bed, large bathroom, and layout of the rental. We enjoyed its close proximity to the beach, and found numerous amenities to like. For example, we didn't have to buy paper towels, dish soap, or other small items, because all were provided. Everything was clean throughout the entire property. There was adequate parking. No one bothered us. It was quiet except for one hour when an adjacent property owner had weed whackers running. The warm pool and gas grill downstairs are nice. There are numerous restaurants nearby, ranging from Lin's Garden (excellent small Chinese buffet) to the Smokin' Oyster Bar (great grouper sandwiches). The beach is uncrowded and perfect for long walks and shelling. We watched sunsets and enjoyed meals from our balcony. Beach chairs and towels were provided. Overall, it was great! If I were to gripe at all, it would be because the pool closes too early, the elevator is slow enough to be annoying, and the safe in our unit was not operational. Both TVs could have been larger. But compared to all other rentals in our experience, this is by far our #1 favorite. We will not hesitate to return again. In fact, it would be a disappointment if we could not stay at Cornerstone on a return trip. Our unanimous rating is 5 stars for happy memories, relaxing days, clean comfortable quarters, and friendly staff. This is an ideal getaway for couples who want to lose track of time at the beach, and spend lazy romantic days together. We are already planning a return trip.
Owner's Response: I am so glad you discovered Cornerstone and all it has to offer. Guests tell me the pictures don't do it justice but you have described it perfectly. Thank you. We can't wait till you come back for another adventure on our island. I will make sure to add Lin's Garden to my restaurant recommendation list. The pool will always close at dusk (insurance regulations) the elevator will still seem slow (when you are anxious to get down to the beach), the 32 inch plasma TV will still look small (compared to the full wall of sliding glass doors with fantastic views of the gulf and beach) but I have already made arrangements with the office and the in room safe is fixed!
I am so glad you enjoyed Cornerstone. See you again soon! Lori

Perfect Condo. Very clean, modern, and no suprises upon arriving. The bed was the most comfortable we have ever experienced in our travels. No hassles at check in or out.
Perfect beach and very quite place to stay.

Just perfect

Swiss couple Zurich, Switzerland
Review Submitted: May 19, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
The condo's location is excellent and it has all the amenities one is looking for (including beach chairs, beach towels, umbrella). The property is very clean and well maintained and the customer service provided was perfect.

We truly enjoyed our stay there and will certainly be back!
Owner's Response: Thank you for your nice comments. We have many international visitors now because Homeaway also advertises in Europe. We try to think of everything our guests might need and know how hard it is to pack those beach chairs, beach towels and umbrella's even for short car trips. Guests also don't have to pack as many clothes because the washer/dryer is right in the unit. We aim to offer the best value and the best vacation deal even though it might not be the cheapest price. I knew you would be happy with the accommodations and would not be disappointed! Lori

Our Favorite Place to Stay

DebbieP Nova Scotia, Canada
Review Submitted: May 4, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
Just returned from two weeks at The Cornerstone Beach Resort. Lori's condo was awesome, the best bed and bedding I've ever had the pleasure of sleeping in. Only 12 units so it's very private and some days had the pool all to ourselves. The condo contained everything we needed and then some. Right on the beach/Gulf of Mexico and the sunsets were amazing. There are 52 weeks in a year, 2 of ours were spent at The Cornerstone and the other 50 weeks are spent thinking about going back next year.
Thanks very much Lori.
Owner's Response: Thank you, I think you realized right away this is not just an investment condo for rent, it is a Vacation condo. We know finding that right place to spend your beach vacation can be a daunting task and we try to provide everything promised and then some. We also listen to our guests comments and that is why we upgraded to the new king size bed. The 32 in Sharp Aquos TV was added just a few months ago too and you will have to wait till you come back next spring to see what else I have in mind! Lori

The condo was VERY charming. I would highly recommend this condo for anyone wanting a secluded, but close to the action condo on the beach!! I had a friend down from KC and he loved it.

Truly Enjoyable

My time at this property was truly enjoyable. It was exactly as pictured and was clean and well accomodated. It was also a pleasure dealing with Rich --- quite simple even! The area was quiet and peaceful --- exactly what I needed! I recommend it for anyone wanting to have a peaceful time "away from it all", yet close to all Ft. Myers Beach has to offer.

Paradise Found!!

Review Submitted: June 27, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
My wife and daughter and I stayed at Cornerstone for our son's wedding in FMB and could not have asked for a better condo. The unit was VERY clean, convieniently located and Lori made sure that we were totally satisfied. The beach just outside the property is beautiful and the susets are spectacular. Everything was just as the website said it would be and all our expectations were exceeded. Loved our stay and will be back, for sure. Thanks again Lori.

Review Submitted: May 27, 2008 Date of Stay: March 2008
I'm not sure if this was the exact unit we stayed in or not, but it was a one bedroom on the fourth floor in this building. We were very pleased with the unit.....the bed was comfortable, the grocery store was close, the beach in the area was good. There wasn't a lot of noise in the area even though it was spring break. The view from the living area, kitchen and balcony was spectacular. We spent a lot of time playing cards on the balcony and watching the water. The pool was nice and comfortable and not crowded. Only 2 drawbacks that we found. There are 2 TVs that are very small.....just as they are pictured if you search, and the fold out couch I'm told was miserable. Next time we will try for a 2 bedroom to avoid that. The unit was very clean, which is paramount to us.
Owner's Response: Thank you Penny, I'm glad you enjoyed your stay at Cornerstone, the beach, the pool, and the view from the screened lanai. You are right, the TV's are not very large but the picture is sharp and crisp and as you menitoned with all the things to do at Cornerstone there isn't much time to be sitting inside watching TV! We would love for you and your friends to come back and try a two bedroom unit. There are twin beds in the guest room and I'm sure everyone will get a good nights sleep. I will pass on the compliment to our housekeeping staff--they work very hard and are the best! Lori

Superb Vacation Spot

DonT Vermont
Review Submitted: May 19, 2008 Date of Stay: April 2008
My wife and I found the Cornerstone Beach Resort to be quiet, clean, convenient, and an ideal vacation spot. All of the condos have a great view of the Gulf and sunsets were spectacular. The beach was 20 feet out the door and access was incredibly easy. Cornerstone is located towards the southern part of Ft. Meyers Beach and as a result, it is quite and relaxing. Supplies were plentiful at the nearby Publix and getting to the hot spots on the north end of the beach was easy. Lori took care of all our needs and we would definitely return. Thanks for everything!
