“If you want an awesome getaway without having to leave the property for fun...this is your place!” This home has an awesome dock for fishing, boat lift, swimming pool, sandy beach with beach chairs, kayaks and completely fenced in property in case you want to bring your pet with you. The chef's kitchen is amazing with top of the line appliances for all of your meals that you will want to cook. You can walk to the shops and restaurants that are iconic to this area. A definite return for us!

“Wonderful place! Relaxing!” Owners were nice people to work with, answered questions in a timely manner. The place was very comfortable, quiet, and enjoyable. Would definitely return!

“Awesome” This is a full sized home with ample space for a family of 8...or more. The lower level area to the pool was perfect for our teen aged son. Gave him privacy from the rest of the clan and made for a very peaceful week together! Pool is perfect and good size and fishing from dock was excellent...snook were biting! We would see manatees and dolphins every single day! My wife and I would be interested in a month's stay after our son graduates next year. About 1 mile from beach with trolleys stopping out on main road so made for easy trips to the beach for the day. This was truly a very pleasant experience in a very nice home and nice area with every amenity you would find at a top notch hotel for much more money and way less room. Perfect for 2 families or 2 couples without being on top of each other!

“Absolutely perfect!!” This house has everything you could ever need or want away from home. Our group consisted of 6 adults and 6 children (including 2 toddlers), this house was perfect. Everyone had space to sleep comfortably, and we all had enough space to enjoy our company without driving each other crazy lol The house is set up with everything you need, we were amazed to find toiletries in the bathrooms and the garage so well stocked up. First time we ever find this at a rental property. The kids loved the beach and pool toys. The beach chairs and umbrellas were perfect for our visits to Fort Myers Beach and Sanibel. We had enough beach towels for everyone too which is a big plus! The kitchen had everything we needed, even Dunkin Donuts coffee! We had a great time making easy meals to accommodate everyone's taste. The grill was perfect for making a great meal and enjoying it outside. If you need to take a break from the everyday hassle, you do not need to look any further! This house is perfect, has everything you need, in perfect condition, with a great surround system. We hope to visit again next year! Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your property!

“Wonderful” We booked this condo for five nights in August. The condo is in excellent condition and the location was perfect. The owners were fantastic to work with. We would rent this condo again in the near future. We love Sanibel Island.

“Super vacation” All of us really enjoyed this wonderful house. Everything you need was there. We would go back anytime. The home manager was very frinedly and helpful. We had no problems, everything was fine. The relaxing pool was the best at all. The house is unrestricted recommendable

“Absolutely terrific” Everything about our vacation was wonderful. The cleanliness of the house and it's location couldn't have been better. We're planning to go again this year.

“Sunshine, Perfect location and Clean” Let me start off by saying the only negative about this house was the carpet in the bedrooms. I would so stay there again, of course if they change the flooring in bedrooms. This was a wonderful rental for our family in between Christmas and New Years. Very Clean when we arrived, heated pool was clean and perfect. Great neighborhood, we actually had an issue with the air and between property manager and neighbor it was quickly resolved! We walked in the neighborhood every morning, met a few. I wish I would of taken pictures of inside of house, the couches are now new leather couches, we didnt use the dishes they had because I was on vacation...but they looked brand new to me! The property manager Gunther was great, he came couple hours after we arrived and went through house with us, we actually sat and chit chatted with him for awhile about Florida. It was only about 1/2 hour from Fort Meyers. Im not one to write reviews but felt for a house rental I needed to!!

“fabulous” This condo is beautiful. We watched the dolphins from the balcony. We enjoyed the heated pool. Access to the beach is right there. The condo had everything we needed and more. Beautifully decorated . We would highly recommend it.

“Great Time On Sanibel” We stayed at the condo mentioned above and found it to be great. Very clean and very comfortable. We plan on staying in this condo the next time we vacation on Sanibel

“Back again! It doesn't get any better!” This was our fourth stay at ann & Ed's villia. Will we be back... Definitely!! We have visited the house twice in the winter months (December) and in the sizzling hot summer (June/July) and every time we go we never want to leave, the kids actually cry! (we have 4 kids all under the age of 9) The house has ample space for our family, very clean, and we felt at home as soon as we opened the front door, we knew we were home away from home. Having two living rooms is a plus as our kids hang out in one room leaving the second one for the adults. There are plenty of activities provided right at the house. The heated salt pool was a huge hit for our kids. They have board games, very large flat screen Tv's a Playsatation 3 (with games and movies) and wireless internet, magazines (subscriptions left from other guests that return each year), fishing poles and fish right off their docks. The house is close to shopping, dining, beaches and family entertainment. Ann even includes various guides and coupons to local restaurants. Furthermore, the villa represented amazing value, considering the sorts of prices for an equivalent property on the Mediterranean. This villa was spotless from top to bottom kitchenware, kettles, microwaves, etc are all spotless from top to bottom. The only drawback was that we had to leave... but that's okay we book every year! Thank you ann & Ed for making this our 2nd home.

“Paradise Cottage, the name says it all!” From the first inquiry to the last day of the trip Christine made the experience effortless and wonderful! This beach house is amazing and will exceed your expectations. It is located perfectly mid island in a quiet neighborhood close to anything you may want to do. My family and I absolutely loved everything about the Paradise Cottage, so much so I questioned sharing this secret hideaway...but it was too good to not share the experience. Christine and her crew went above and beyond from fresh flowers, leaving the light on for our late arrival, stocking us up with daily necessities and making herself available throughout our trip to returning clothes that my daughter had left behind. This was truly made a home in paradise. I have been traveling to Ft. Myers for 10+ years never staying in the same place twice. I can guarantee that if this is available I will never stay anywhere else again. Thank you so much to Christine and her staff for making my family feel at home and helping us create wonderful memories!! I highly recommend Paradise Cottage and working with Christine...you won't be disappointed!!
