Beautiful and nicely decorated pool home located on the southern end of the island and is just a short walk from the beach. This multi-level, 4-bedroom, 4 bath home sleeps 8 and gives visitors the warm tropical beach feelings of Fort Myers Beach. The home is the perfect retreat for your Fort Myers Beach vacation. The lower-level pool deck area features a mother-in-law pool suite with its own sitting area, kitchenette, bath and sleeping area. The main kitchen, dining, and living room areas are located on the middle level in an open concept layout for nice social gatherings that can carry outside to the deck over-looking the pool. There is also a bedroom and full bath located on this level. A two-story wrap around deck provides plenty of room to lounge around. The upper level has the master bedroom with its own private bath and a second bedroom and bath. The bedrooms have access to balconies. Each bedroom has its own flat screen TV and the house is equipped with Wi-Fi.
The house also features a huge two-story wrap-around screened lanai that covers a beautiful, heated pool and waterfall spa. There is plenty of seating areas with a large smart TV in the pool area. The home is a short walk to the beach with trolly transportation to the main downtown area of Fort Myers Beach. This is also one of the best spots on the island to take in our beautiful sunsets!

We loved everything about the house! It was perfect for 2 families to share all week. The mother inlaw suite was great! The pool and hot tub was used everyday and having the tv outside was a nice feature to enjoy. The screened in area kept any bugs out. It was a quiet neighborhood and the short walk to the greatnicegreat.enjoyoitside
Property was very nice, couple minute walk to the beach. Some beach items provided (chairs, umbrella, cart and cooler), we bought some boogie boards and sand toys and left there. Outside space is great with several seating options! New grill which was nice. Pool and spa (can turn it into a hot tub) was amazing and kids spent so much time there. Area is still being rebuilt, some things were opened. Rooms were great sized. The fourth bedroom is a separate mother in law suite, there is no access to suite from inside main house (that was a disappointment due the family dynamics). Overall house was great and would stay again. Three bedrooms in main house all have sliding glass doors with hotel like long thin blinds, no curtains, so rooms are very bright very early (curtains would be nice).
The house and pool/hot tub were amazing! Easy access to beach and Publix was close by for shopping. They have the pool area set up perfect, sat in the hot tub and watched some the football games when we got back from the beach. HahaJust a great fun place to stay in paradise!
Driftwood Lane was excellent. Our host Michael kept us informed before our arrival. The home was spacious and very clean. The way the home is set up, three couples had plenty of privacy, but also great common area. Nice neighborhood. Our group already pondering renting in the future. Tks Michael
There was not a single thing about this property that we didn’t love. The house was immaculate and well stocked. We had two teenagers who spent 90% of their time by the pool and they loved it. Short walk to the beach and the trolley into town was affordable. A lot of the businesses in the area are starting to come back but the island is still recovering. This property was stunning with zero issues and we were there for 2 weeks. Pet friendly is a must for us and the dogs enjoyed sitting out on the covered deck with us in the evenings watching the lizards outside the screen. Paradise.
Very nice home between fort myers beach and Bonita springs. We celebrated my husband’s 50th birthday with his sister’s family. Three teens and three adults. We had plenty of room, fun at the pool and spa. Beach access close by and very clean and quiet. We shopped at Publix a mile from the home. Unforgettable stay!

The on line details were somewhat off due to the hurricane. There wasn’t a lot to do on the south side of the beach, but the house was great for us. Nice living area, pool and hot tub. The heater in the pool wasn’t working, but Michael had it up and running in a day. The view wasn’t great, but again because of the hurricane. This was a neighboring property not Michael’s. It was for sale so hopefully cleaned up soon. No complaints about the rental property itself. Beach was close and in great shape. Also bus transportation was available to the north and south of the property which we used a few times.
I would recommend this house for anyone who is thinking about doing a family vacation. My husband and I went with my son and his family (2 grandsons 4 and 2 years). The pool area is spacious, and the water was warm; the grandkids had a blast! The house is big enough so that no one ever felt we were in each other's way or space. The rooms are large as well are the bathrooms. The beach is a short walk (approx. 5-7 minutes), we walked every night to watch the sunset. They have beach chairs and a wagon to bring your beach stuff. The BBQ works well however the tank ran out of propane. We called Mike the property manager; he told us to go buy a replacement for the tank at Publix and he would reimburse us for the tank. I texted him the receipt and he refunded us over and above the cost of tank through the VRBO website. This house is just what you see in the pictures... you will not be disappointed.
The layout of this house is top notch! Perfect for a large family or multiple couples. The walk to the beach is short and the heated pool and hot tub were a huge bonus for the chilly weather we had. Plenty of supplies are provided, very clean, and a very easy check in and check out process. Can’t say enough great things about this house and the property manager.
I cannot share enough great comments about this property. It was amazing for our family, and Mike was very communicative! The photos and descriptions are spot on, and the info folder was very helpful. There was plenty of space and an assortment of household items. Everything you need is at your fingertips. The pool/hot tub set up was perfect although we had an issue towards the end of our stay (Mike was on top of it though). The water level mark outside from Hurricane Ian was humbling, and knowing that so many renovations were down to restore the property was impressive. We look forward to returning for years to come!
Plenty of room, for everyone; we had eight total, seven adults and one infant, lots of fun in the pool, and hot tub!
Had a little hiccup with the air conditioning, but Mike was on top of it, called for service immediately!
I have to say we had a wonderful time, would love to go back again!
Pool was great for kids since the deep end wasn’t deeper than 5ft, spa attached was lovely addition! There was a bunch of beach equipment (chairs, umbrella, blanket, etc.) available for use. TVs had Disney plus and each bedroom was comfortable (although beds are on softer side). Lots of bathrooms which is always more comfortable for everyone. Less than 5 min walk to the beach, and just a min or two to the 7-11 for slushies! Would maybe recommend one more outdoor trash can since they fill up fast and trash day is mid week. Thanks for the lovely stay:)
This property was so nice and spacious. It was very clean and super close to the beach! The pool and spa was awesome! Would definitely consider renting again.
The outside of the property was where we spent the most time. We used the pool and hot tub most of the time we were at the house. The tv and lounging areas outside were great as well. Had a few issues in the beginning but they were fixed within a short period of time.
The house was wonderful for our group of seven. It is located in a quiet neighborhood. The pool was amazing and the short walk to the beach made this the perfect location! We would definitely return.
Had a family wedding at the outrigger was half a block away enjoyed that it was so close. House was very clean nice that each room had there own bathroom. Pool wash clean and refreshing. Thanks for such a nice stay.
Not only is it very spacious but the layout is amazing!. I’ve stayed at many beach houses in my life, this one rates 5 star amazing! Verbo assigned Michael to us he did a beyond awesome job. You cannot go wrong renting this home it wonderful!
Fabulous home with a great layout for multiple couples. 3 bedrooms with 3 bathrooms in main part of house. Lower level has an “in-law” suite that worked well for the person in our group that needed an office set up while on vacation. Pool, hot tub & lanai were awesome!
We spent 3 to 4 hours in the pool after returning from the beach, which was a very short walk from Beach Access 11. Outriggers was directly across the street and Pinchets was .5 miles south. We also had a 7/11 convenience store, Publix and CVS within a mile. The best part was having a bathroom for each bedroom for privacy. There was lots of outdoor seating but the furniture could use some updating. Also, the suntanning chairs need replacing. Overall, we loved the place and the location!!
The home is very well kept and works well for 4 couples. Each couple had their own bedroom and bath. The pool area was wonderful. Lots of space to sit in sun or shade and well equipped with toys. Location close to beach and easy access through Outrigger resort with a stop on the way home for a frozen drink. Location at south end of island is away from Spring Breakers. We wold definitely rent again. Only drawback for seniors: steps to get to main floor and more steps to 2 of te bedrooms.
