Area Activities:
Welcome to Fort Myers Beach! There are multiple state parks nearby that are waiting for your adventures. Jump on the trolley to take you south to the secluded Lover's Key State Park or go north to Bowditch Point Park. The Fish Tale Marina offers boat rentals and dockage for those wanting to get out on the water. Travel around the island in style in a rented Moke or golf cart. Trolley service is also available from Estero Boulevard to the Times Square area, the central hub of Fort Myers Beach. Several restaurants, shops, and bars have come back since the hurricane. If a day trip is what you are looking for check out the Key West Express for an unforgettable trip to Key West. Don’t forget to see Sanibel Lighthouse which is less than 15 miles away! Please note that the area is currently rebuilding after Hurricane Ian. Despite the changes, the island continues to get better and better, inviting you to bask in the sun, sand, and amazing sunsets once again. As local restaurants continue to reopen, you'll have lots of opportunities for entertainment and dining experiences. We're excited to welcome you back.
"The house was exactly as described. Everything was clean and getting to the beach was a very short walk. The extra beach chairs and cart were a huge plus. We liked the rooms as 2 were on one side and the other 2 on another. This worked perfectly for our 2 family’s. Huge fridge to store food for days. A nice gas range and large kitchen to make breakfast and prep beach snacks. I would definitely rent here again."

"Absolutely loved staying here. I have been vacationing here with my parents since I was a little girl, and for over 30 years we have come back every year. It was sad to see the destruction from the past hurricane, but we loved being able to stay in this home and enjoy some beautiful days in this home. Will definitely rent this home again in the future."

"Great place for our family vacation with adult children! Kitchen was well equipped. The pool was a nice addition. Comfortable for 10 adults if sharing a bedroom is OK with guests and utilizing a trundle bed works for guests. Would be difficult for 12 as stated in the description. Wonderful to be able to walk back and forth to and from the beach! Overall a great vacation home for a week!"

"This rental was perfect for 4 couples. Place was spacious and had nice outdoor seating. Kitchen has lots of space for drinks and snacks. Rooms were comfortable and we had plenty of towels for bath and beach. The heated pool was a nice hang out space. Our bike rental delivery went smoothly and we were able to get around easily. The area is still recovering from the hurricane but the debris is gone and construction is underway. Host was always friendly and available for advice."

"Family Spring Break - We had 6 adults and a 2yo for the week. The kitchen was perfect- all of the professional grade appliances were wonderful, especially the refrigerator size! There were an abundance of bath and beach towels. The walk to the beach with public access was very easy and short. We also walked to breakfast and coffee on several mornings. Communication with property management company was easy and they provided lots of information leading up to the trip. The pool heater didn’t work all week, so that was disappointing with a toddler, but otherwise it was a flawless stay."

"Fort Myers Beach is still pretty beat up and there are lots of destroyed buildings and closed businesses, but there were plenty of restaurants open and the beach was clean and beautiful. Other than the scuffed up scenery, it was a great place to vacation. This host was amazing. They were helpful and responsive. They were accommodating. They had clear and easy instructions. They answered the phone before and after we checked in. The place was really great. We had two families of four with kids from ages 1-4. The kitchen and fridge/freezer was more than big enough. Publix is just 0.8 miles away and away from rush hour traffic. The pool was great for little kids (and not easy for them to access unsupervised). The bathrooms were plentiful. The front patio was a great place to lounge in the sun and grill out. The pillows were not nice. If you care about pillows, bring your own. Everything else was really great. Thank you!"

"Few subjects: more beach chairs and umbrella. People flying in can't take them with and we couldn't rent on beach. Some condiments: salt, pepper etc. More coffee mugs there were 4 for 10 people. Most air b&b have stuff to get you started. Other then that we had a wonderful time."

"Super cute place close to the beach - Adorable place with a perfect pool in the back and walking distance less than a block from a beautiful white sand beach. Four nice bedrooms- one has two queen beds and the master has a king. Two of the rooms have day beds. All the rooms have TVs. Backyard pool is nice- however needs a privacy fence because it backs up to a few sketchy looking houses. Big washer and dryer available. Not a ton of kitchen stuff- pizza cutter, ice machine didn't work in freezer, no salt or pepper.
Overall loved our stay!"

Again, thank you for staying with Sun Palace Vacations and remember next time book directly with us and you will receive a loyalty discount!
