High-Rise Waterfront Haven
Beautiful clean apartment. The view was amazing. Quiet neighbors. Bed was very firm innerspring mattress. Pillows were awesome and the extra blanket in the closet was nice. Towels were fluffy and huge. Price was on par with neighboring hotels.

Best location, great for tennis
We had a great stay. It was lovely, clean and comfortable. The amenities were as described. The cafe by the pool was very appreciated the staff in the whole complex were friendly. Easy drive to beach, shops and restaurants.

Boater's Dream - Right On Canal
Nice place, very much like the photos. Somewhat in between Bonita Springs and Vanderbilt Beach (Naples). Convenient to everything. Long walk to the Bonita Springs beach.

Lovers Key Beach Club Suite
Very clean and well equipped condo on the 10th floor overlooking the gulf and bay.l From our lanai we watched dolphins, ospreys and one morning a bald eagle diving for fish. Scott was a great host and responded to any questions we had within minutes. The property has a nice private beach, pool and 4 weber gas grills. Flippers restaurant is only steps away. The only issue is that the new bridge onto Ft.Myers Beach is under construction so at times there is construction noise and access to the beach south of the bridge is blocked. This was not a big issue for us and overall we had a very enjoyable week.

Lazy River, 4 Pools, 5th Ave Resort Personal Oasis
Alan was a great host. Very responsive. The furniture was great. Especially for a guy with a bad back. Clean, peaceful, and the kitchen was well stocked. Beautiful resort. Workout facility was excellent. We will be coming back.

Suite with lake view.
We really loved this place. The sunset from the garden was amazing! Lot of amenities and Daysi was responsive very time we needed! Def recommend this place :)

Times Square Hideaway By FL Vibes
Great central location. Right on the beach. All restaurants and bars were a 5-10 walk away from condo.

Quiet and Cozy Beautiful Downtown Canal Front Apt!
Great place, definitely recommend

Cape Coast Retreat | Waterfront - Pool - Sleeps 13
Fantastic stay! House is very nice and clean. Bathrooms are extremely nice. Backyard is incredible. Highly recommend staying here.

Live Art River House
We sat outside and had our coffee every morning. The view of the River was beautiful. There was plenty of room to spread out and have our own space also.

Beautiful Waterfront House, Feels Like Home!
This property proved to be the perfect haven from a harsh Chicago winter. We found the home to be spacious and bathed in natural light, creating a bright and airy atmosphere. The sunsets, enjoyed from the dining area, were spectacular. Danny's responsiveness to our needs was excellent, making our month-long stay completely seamless. For a relaxed and comfortable escape, we couldn't recommend this home more highly.

River view Villa, 3 bdr,2ba close beaches!
Amazing stay, property was spotless. Host very responsive when I had any questions! Highly recommend, Greta price and we loved it!

Waterfront, Gulf Access, Dock, Heated Pool & Kayak
This property was everything we hoped for and more! Sitting right on the canal, it offered such a peaceful and picturesque setting. We loved watching the boats come and go throughout the day—it added such a unique and relaxing touch to our stay. The house itself was spotless, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed. But the real highlight? The amazing pool! It was absolutely perfect—crystal clear, the ideal temperature, and a fantastic place to unwind. We spent so much time enjoying it and soaking up the sun. We highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a perfect getaway. And if we’re ever in the area again, we would definitely stay here again!

Waterfront Villa Island Breeze heated pool & spa
This house was everything that we could have asked for. Unfortunately, we came when the weather was in the 50s but the heated pool and spa definitely made our time worth it. I was continuously impressed with the things this house offered. As a mom of 3, I’m already overwhelmed with the things I need to pack for my family. This house had it all. It included: beach toys, pool noodles, mini paddle boards, a pack and play (I believe, I didn’t look too closely), a beach bag, bikes, a high chair, umbrella, etc., everything you need to stay here! In addition to the wide variety of items, the hosts were very responsive. The only thing I did not enjoy was the firmness of the king bed but I also know that’s something you can’t win with everyone. I also would have appreciated a carbon monoxide detector but we ended up bringing our own. I would still choose to stay here aside from that :) My kids loved the “pool house.” We hope to be back again!

Serene Waterfront Oasis
This place was perfect to launch a kayak to a beautiful mangrove filled area. Great fishing spots nearby. The house is all recently redone and very clean with everything we needed. We were more than happy with the spot! Oh, and we saw dolphins daily, and manatees frequently.

Ocean/Lakefront Heated Pool-Jacuzzi/Private Dock
Susan’s place was everything and more than we expected. Great amenities and dock area to hang out with a big group. Ubering to and from the city was no problem. The kitchen was very nice and easy to use. Very responsive host with answers to our questions about the pool and hot tub.
Waterfront condo rentals

One bedroom condo - overlooking harbor!
We were very happy with Amy's condo. It was absolutely spotless and supplied with everything anyone could need. We really enjoyed being out on the screened in porch, watching the boats come in and out of the marina. We very much enjoyed our stay.

Sanibel Harbour Resort - 714: Coastal condo
The resort was absolutely gorgeous and everything I could have asked for and so much more. Mother Nature was not our friend however the staff helped with any of the uncontrollable situations handed to us ALL this past week. My mom and I loved it so much we looked into the real-estate listings. I can’t wait to come back when it’s not in the beginning of hurricane season and get a dry look around. With that being said, this resort has a fantastic beach for shelling and amazing views. Even the dolphins came to swim close to the shore. 10 out of 10, can’t wait to sea you again!!

River Front condo in Ft. Myers.
The location is perfect. Walking distance to downtown Fort Myers, where everything happens. Next door to Pinchers. Beautiful water view. Conveniently located next to Publix supermarket and easy to get around. The only thing I would say is that it could use some de cluttering a bit. Aside from that no complaints and would love to have my parents come back for another 5 weeks next winter. Walking distance from where we live as well. Just the perfect location Thank yoj

Little Piece of Paradise
This place is great!! Safe and comfortable with a fantastic location for fishing. It is right on the water and a minute walk from the dock to be picked up by your boat. Just amazing! For the price, you will not find a better spot in this area.

Beautiful 3 BR Waterside Condo w/ Private Terrace
Wonderful unit -- even better than the photos! Recently updated, clean and spotless. The private terrace was perfect for nighttime cocktails after our son went to bed. Love that the unit provided some baby amenities such as a high chair! And the host was very responsive leading up to our booking and was available via text for any questions that came up. Highly recommend!

Park Shore Resort Modern Top Floor 2 Bed 2 Bath
Lauren has done up the place very well and having beach towels and beach chairs really helped us. The place is clean and the view from the balcony overlooking the water body is gorgeous. Having a pull out sofa in the living area is an added bonus. The best part is that good eateries and a grocery store are walking distance from the apartment. Lauren is extremely responsive and helped us whenever we needed it. We would certainly like to stay here again if we visit Naples.

Sanibel Island Waterfront Condo!!
Staying at Juanita’s place was wonderful. Got to see the sunrise every morning and rode my bike to the beach everyday! I highly recommend staying in the condo as the neighbors were so lovely. In addition the pool was wonderful at the end of each day!

Burnt Store Marina Condo *Cape Coral/Punta Gorda
Lisa and Chris were great. We were left abandoned by another hoist the day we arrived and Lisa and Chris responded right away and helped make our vacation awesome. The place was great and the community was very nice...They are responsive and they will have us as returning renters again in the future......Thank you
