If you want a taste of the SW Florida beach experience - come stay with us at his beautifully remodeled, quiet mid-island property, offering everything you need for a great beach getaway!
Welcome to the "Speedy Turtle" - a beautifully remodeled tri-plex property in the heart of Fort Myers Beach. This unit called "Gulf View" is on the top left of the building. On the top right of builing is an additional apartment which is the same size as this unit and is available to rent separately; on the bottom is an additional 2 bedroom/1 bath unit, also available to rent separately. If you are traveling with a group or another party and would like to rent either of the other 2 units, please reference the VRBO listing numbers 9599442ha and 9498715ha for availability.
It's all about LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION - this unique cottage is mere steps to the sugar powdery beaches of Fort Myers Beach, just head west out of the property, cross the street and start enjoying the sand between your toes! With many close by amenities such as restaurants, shops, bars and the island grocery store - you really can't find a more convenient spot!
This apartment is just under 800 square feet and can accommodate up to 6 people, or it can be a perfect romantic getaway for two. You will love the feeling you get when you enter this bright and beautifully remodeled property. After a day at the beach you can come home and enjoy your 2nd floor deck surrounded by beautiful palm trees. Located just off the kitchen you can dine alfresco at the table with sun umbrella for shade. It's also the perfect place for your morning coffee or a tropical cocktail in the evening - with partial view of the western sky over the Gulf as the sun begins to set.
The living room has been furnished with a brand new power reclining sofa and love seat - perfect for putting your feet up and relaxing as you watch TV (with cable package.) For the cook in the family the kitchen is a cooks delight with everything one will need to cook either a gourmet meal or a quick lunch.

This property sits on the first block of a side street just off of Estero Blvd - the beach access is literally just steps away! When you aren't at the beach, you are close to local bars, restaurants, coffee shops, shopping, and boat/water sport and bicycle rentals. The island's grocery store, Publix, is just half a mile away from the cottage. You're also just a short distance to the popular Times Square and the iconic Pier, which is the heart of Fort Myers Beach. You'll enjoy the daily and nightly activity, kids especially enjoy the street performers that frequently set up there to entertain, and everyone enjoys the people watching!
Take the Island's Beach Trolley street side to wherever you wish to explore on the island, including family amusements, movie cinema, day or sunset cruises, fishing charters and casino ships, numerous restaurants, happy hours and entertainment venues. Don't forget the day ferry excursions to Key West, and a trip to the Everglades!
Drive south off the island to Lover's Key State Park, Bonita Springs, and Naples; north off the island you'll find the pristine beaches of Sanibel and Captiva Island; you'll also want to visit the newly revitalized downtown Fort Myers - a great spot for dining and nightlife. Fort Myers is also home to the Spring Training facilities of the Minnesota Twin, the Boston Red Sox, and lots of golf!

Andy - we are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay so much and that the location and home worked so well for you! We have never heard any other complaints regarding the mattresses, in fact a review from a few months ago specifically mentions that the beds were so comfortable; the owner just purchased them brand new when the home was remodeled within the past year. We thank you for your great review - you were a pleasure to host and are welcome back at any time!
John - we are so happy this vacation home provided a great getaway for you and even happier to hear you'd like to come back and bring more family!! Recommending us to your friends and family is the best compliment we can get - thank you! You are welcome any time!
Amelia - thank you for such a great review of this vacation home! We are so happy that your family had such a wonderful time, it sounds like you took advantage of everything that makes this place so special! You were a pleasure to host and we gladly welcome you back at any time!
Brittaney, thank you so much for taking the time to review this great vacation getaway! We are so happy that you found the property to your liking. The owners have gone above and beyond to provide everything they could think of to provide the perfect beach vacation. As a management company, we pride ourselves in our housekeeping and guest relations - so hearing that both of those were great experiences for you made our day! You were a pleasure to host and we welcome you back at any time!
Jill - thank you for your great review of this vacation property! We couldn't agree more that the location is amazing, the cottage has been lovingly remodelled, decorated and comes with everything you could want for a fantastic beach getaway! We're thrilled you had such a great time and thank you for your recommedation. We welcome you back at any time!
Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us. We are glad you enjoyed the great location, comfortable beds, and got a few days of uncrowded beach time - always a plus! Our housekeeping staff prides themselves in their work and I'm glad your noticed and found the unit clean. The sofa set that was pictured in the listing when you booked was in need of being replaced, and was done so with a brand new, contemporary sofa and loveseat, and you were the first ones to use it. We had not had a chance to update the pictures yet. However, the owner, who has purchased brand new mattresses, linens, towels, housewares, provided complimentary beach gear - all to create the perfect beach getaway for her guests - has listened to your complaint and has just purchased a second brand new sofa and loveseat for the home. As soon as it is delivered the pictures will be updated. The home is not advertised as having a dishwasher, and in an attempt to save space, there is a microfiber dish draining mat under the sink, as many smaller condos/homes have. We are sorry this was an annoyance for you. Thank you again for your review.
