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. It has a breakfast bar with 3 bar stools and a Bistro table that seats 4.

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.

This vacation house was by far the best place I have ever traveled to. Perfect for our family of six (four kids) has everything you need and more. They had chairs/beach toys/umbrellas/ wagon to take everything/cooler ECT.. anything you can think of for the beach. Everything you need to cook and more, plus grill. Would be perfect for an adult vacation also! You are seconds from the beach. We could have not picked a better place. I really loved it because it was so clean!! The owners was so nice and anything you need or any questions they are there. We love Fort Myers beach and we just found our permit vacation spot.

The Gulf View unit was great! The owners have the place in very clean and tidy shape. They provided all the beach items like chairs, wagon, umbrella and toys for the kids. The unit is freshly painted and well kept. The location to the beach is fantastic, literally less than 2 minutes and you are in the water. We can’t wait to visit again.

We highly recommend this property! It is very clean. The living room furniture was so comfortable - looks just like the photos. The split loveseat reclines and also rocks. The sofa reclines. The bed was super comfortable. (We didn’t sleep in the room with 2 beds - we used that room for our stuff.). The unit is tastefully decorated. The location is great - beach is actually steps away and Publix is an easy 1/2 mile walk. Lots of beach chairs, umbrella & wagon. Having your own laundry facilities is so convenient. The kitchen was well stocked. We actually made dinner 4 times during our 2 week stay & breakfast every am. Every morning we sat out on the deck drinking our coffee. Great wi-fi and lots of available tv channels. There’s a trolley stop very close by too. Hope to return next year! Highly recommend!

GREAT LOCATION, AWESOME HOSPITALITY (Huge thanks to Ken & Monica) they are wonderful people. Made us feel at home. This place was perfect for our week stay. SUNSETS WHERE AMAZING ! I would say small but mighty. Perfect for a 4 person family. It has a lot to offer. Literally a walk across the street is the beach access. It offers a wagon, beach chairs, beach umbrella. A nice deck with table & umbrella. Electric bikes & peddle bikes. Great for getting into town. Close to Publix's grocery store, trolley stops and so much more. We hated to leave ~ Definitely will be back!!!!

This our favorite place to stay in the Fort Myers’s Beach area! We got acquainted with new owners Ken & Monica. They have made some additional nice changes to 189 Dakota left unit. It is so peaceful there being on the upper level. It is close enough to activities we want to enjoy but yet quiet and peaceful. We hope to stay again next year! Many thanks to Ken & Monica!

Did an overnight stay here and had a great time. The room is half a block from a beach access point. Beach has beautiful white sand and is clean. The unit has outside rinse stations. Our room was very comfortable and nicely appointed. We even sat outside by the propane fire pit. Would recommend this place to anyone.

This apartment hast the best location, exactly what we needed. So so so close to the beach and also very quiet and residential. We were there for Thanksgiving and it wasn't so crowded. When we arrived our key code didn't work and we couldn't reach anyone to help us get in. It was definitely an inconvenient for us and I was so disappointed for 45 minutes but luckily the owner showed up and fixed the problem. He also grabbed some cold beers and gave us free snacks to welcome us which made us forget our bad experience. The place was very clean and well taken care. It also had everything you can think of. We didn't need to buy anything additional for our stay and we were happily impressed with the beach toys and kids wagon to take to the beach. The parking place was also a plus considering we rented a car. The apartment is good for a family with kids in my opinion, I think it's rather small for 6 adults, considering the eating area doesn't fit more than 4 people comfortably unless you are eating on the patio outside, which we did most of the days, except at nights when it was cold. So we took turns to eat on the couch while the kids were eating at the kitchen counter. Another problem for a bigger family would be the fact that there is only one bathroom. But for us, it worked fine most of the time. We were 3 adults and 3 young kids. I would definitely recommend it and I would love to come back one day. Thank you for everything you did to make us have a good time. The owner checked in on us a few times to make sure we had everything we need. We were lucky to have him right downstairs from us on those dates.

Hi Mariella - thanks for sharing your feedback. It is important to clarify that when you weren't able to access the unit, you contacted VRBO instead of contacting us via the information provided. Additionally unfortunate is that VRBO didn't reach out to us either when they heard from you. Thankfully the owners contacted us as soon as they ran into you & we were able to assist within minutes. We are thrilled you & your family had a wonderful vacation and enjoyed the home. The owners have worked so hard t provide a comfortable, home-away-from-home for guests to enjoy. We appreciate your review & welcome you again anytime!

The house is awesome and very confortable. The location is superb and the beach is only a minute away. The kitchen is fully equipped. The only thing you should update a notch are the matresses, especially the one in the main room.

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!

This apartment, situated less than 5 minutes from the beach, was perfect for our family vacation. The house exceeded our expectations in terms of cleanliness, location and amenities. There was ample beach equipment (chairs, umbrella, toys, cart) made available to us. Additionally, there was picnic table and umbrella on the deck right outside of the kitchen- a perfect place for family meals and for our children to attend school in the mornings. The house is in a quiet part of the island, which was perfect for us, but it was also within walking/biking distance to the supermarket and various restaurants.

Perfect for a family vacation! The house was exceptionally clean and extremely well stocked. I really loved that the management had beach supplies on hand. As a momma that was a major plus! The on sight staff responded to the few questions I had in a timely manner, to say we were well taken care of would be an understatement. If you are looking for a family oriented rental look not further. We will be staying here again!

On an average we spend about 3 weeks a year in Florida , with our 2 children . This was kinda a last minute trip . We had never stayed this close to the beach before . Wasn’t sure what to expect for the very reasonable price . WOW!!!! We were pleasantly surprised . Beautiful landscape , newly remodeled unit and lovely decor. Very inviting and cozy . Would highly recommend and we will be staying again

Location was fantastic, just a quick walk across the street to beach access. The apartment was very clean. Small but sufficient. The beds were very comfortable. The seating in the living room was different from the images on the listing. There is no comfortable seating in the living room! The two vinyl couches were so small that not even a normal sized adult could fit on one. It was very disappointing. We spent most of the time sitting outside on the deck but would have enjoyed the ability to relax on a couch or chair in the evening. We were there for Christmas and the New Year holiday, the apartment is in the middle of the island which is mostly residential, so the beach was never very crowded. There is no dishwasher or dish drainer to place the dishes in after you hand wash, just an annoyance for us. We ate in every night. Well stocked with utensils and pans. Again, the apartment was sufficient for the price.

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.
