5 Star Gulf-Front Condo with Front Row Sunset Views

Exceeded Expectations

This was our first experience with a vacation rental. We were very happy how everything was explained, so we would understand. The rental was set up perfectly for our family of 5 to enjoy. The location was perfect. We were close enough to enjoy all the area had to offer, but yet far enough removed to enjoy private family time. The owner was very helpful in his suggestions of places to visit and to eat. We followed most of his suggestions, and we were happy we did.

Smugglers Cove Unit 4B5

This was our first time renting a condo and we really enjoyed it. The unit was nice and clean. The bed was comfortable. The beach and pool are steps away. The beach was nice and not crowded. They have gas grills and we never had to wait to use one. The grocery store was a few blocks away. The trolly is right outside the condo but we had a hard time catching it so we would just uber. Steve the owner was available if we had questions and would get back to me right away. We had a great stay and hopefully we can rent again. Next time I would like to stay in the corner unit that Steve has. It was a great vacation and the weather was fabulous.

Location Location Location

Arriving at night it was nice to find the condo supplied necessities.to get you started.Great location convenient to shopping and restaurants. Relaxing on the grass area overlooking the white sand and water on chairs that were readily available was not only relaxing but easily accessible. Early morning walk on the beach was wonderful start for the day. Tired of looking at the beach, or collecting shells, just walk a short distance to the pool that was refreshing and clean.Late afternoon return to condo via elevator and sit on the balcony with a refreshing drink and some nibbles before going out for dinner. Lots of choices for both indoor and outdoor dining. Publix nearby for grocery needs.End of evening comfortable bed awaits you and pleasant dreams until you could do a repeat the next day. The time flew by and can't wait to return to do it all over again.

Even better than expected!

This condo is perfectly located to access all the local attractions, and the view from the Lanai is absolutely stunning! The unit is very clean, very spacious, and fully equipped for a family. This condo will definitely be our top choice every time we visit Fort Myers Beach!

Great location and facility with everything close at hand!

Even though the weather was overcast and rainy, we had a great stay in this fourth floor condominium! We just followed the owner's Rule #1 which included have fun while spending time away from our daily routine. For years my “go to place” has been Fort Myers and plan to keep it on my schedule! I hope this owner will have a unit open when I travel there in the future.This condo is an excellent place to enjoy a quiet beach setting for both sunrises and awesome sunsets. The towels were great! Even beach towels were provided which was great since we were flying in and out. Needed kitchen items and beach chairs and toys were available. Prior to our trip, Mr. Most emailed us a listing of his favorite restaurants on Ft. Myer's Beach and nearby on the mainland which was very helpful. On the flight back, it was noted that we didn’t get to the Love Boat for ice cream as frequently as we had planned!The owner was wonderful for quickly taking care of the air conditioner and the refrigerator when both had a miner problems. Both appeared brand new and he responded immediately. The service was completed with no beach time lost. We appreciated his concern for our vacation and his hospitality!DColson

The best place to stay on the beach!!!

Thank you Steve for sharing your condo in paradise with us. This was a perfect location for everything you could possibly want to do on Fort Myers beach. The place was in excellent condition and afforded all the amenities a person could need. There was a personal welcome card and gift ( bottle of wine) on the table when we arrived. We so look forward to enjoying this again. Thanks again. Alan and Janet Gregg.

Doesn’t get any better!

Great condo, great host! We have been coming to FMB for 20 years and have stayed in a lot of condos. Steve’s place at Smugglers Cove is definitely one of the best. Clean, comfortable and well stocked, nothing was missing. The location, view and amenities are top notch! We will be back. It doesn’t get any better!

Excellent, We had a great time

This condo was great. Very nice place to hang out for the week, and I wish we could of stayed longer. The condo was very clean, good beds, and over all a great unit. The heated pool was good, and you could not beat the view. We would stay here the next time we are in Fort Myers.

Awesome view & beach

The condo was amazing! Had everything you need. Best views of the beach from the lanai! It was wondering eating breakfast each morning with the amazing views! Beds were extremely comfortable.The beach was on the quiet side of Ft. Myers which was great. The sand was the best soft white sand. Beach chairs were available from condo as well as lounge chairs at the resort. Saw dolphins and collected many shells.Looking forward to returning soon!

One Week in Paradise!

This condo met all of our requirements. It was the perfect size for us (2) with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. The condo was definitely upgraded with granite counters and a center island along with granite counters in the baths. The showers were nicely appointed with tiled walls and in the master (a non slip floor). We had the option of either walking out to the beach and the water was amazingly clean. I waded out to the sand bar and could see the sandy bottom all of the way. Pelicans crashing into the water to pick off any prey that might be in their view. The swimming pool was wonderful and you could tell that the association really maintained the premises. Even the towels were extremely plush. The walks on the beach both in the morning and at sunset were awesome. Both Kathy and I are planning to come back next year. Steve, we have to commend you as your place has exceeded our expectations.

Fun vacation

Steve, thanks for the rental. We really enjoyed Fort Myers Beach! Fun place with lots to do. Walked the beach every morning. Loved watching the pelicans dive for fish. We saw dolphins right in front of our condo too. Condo was clean and had everything we needed!! Hope to make it back again.

Sunsets and sandy white beaches with this condo.

Beautiful quiet location mid island so we missed the busy activities to the North and construction to the South. Walking distance to grocery. Beautiful sunsets. Beaches so clean and close. Fun time shelling. Warm pool water. Family friendly comfortable condo with plenty of beach chairs and items to use at the beach in this condo. Enjoy like we did!

It IS a Condo in Paradise

We had a wonderful Nov stay! The Condo was perfect for our needs, well appointed and clean as a whistle and everything worked! The Condo is right on the beach and close to everything. It was just what we needed for 2020 relief! We did have a few questions that Steve was available to quickly answer over the phone. We have already rebooked for next November and look forward to being back at this great location!

Gorgeous views

The ocean is right out your window. We slept with the windows open the whole week. Steve, the owner, is amazing. Very friendly and helpful. If you book through him you save money. The condo itself had everything we needed but the place itself was frustrating. They would hardly open the pool even when temps were above 66. Our clothes got stolen out of the dryer and the guy that came from the sheriffs office left little to be desired. They don’t have a way for the laundry room to be locked up. Also, they tell you that you cannot set the air below 74. I don’t know about you but that is very hot. We sleep with it about 66 which, is why we left the windows open all the time. Luckily the weather was cooler so we could. So, all in all I loved Steve and his place but the complex is not great.

Family friendly beach condo

This is our second time staying in this unit. There is a croc pot so dinner can be ready and waiting when you are done playing.We had a great time on the beach. The view really looks like paradise. We saw dolphins jumping out of the water from the beach. The condo is stocked with beach chairs, an umbrella, beach towels and toys. You can have your groceries delivered from Publix- and the beach was not crowded so we could toss the football, listen to music, etc. I would definitely recommend this condo.

Perfect Trip

Great condo and location. Steve(the owner) and K. Nesbit( the vaca co.) were very attentive and quick to answer any questions. The condo has chairs for your outside use as well as a tiki hut with grills and xtra tiki tables and chairs that are PERFECT for watching the sunset. Definitely would rent again!

Perfect Family Getaway

My college kids and I got away to this wonderful condo in August and we couldn't have been happier with the location and privacy. We practically had the beach all to ourselves. I don't think we ever shared it with more than 20 people at once. We swam with dolphins and manatees more than once. We have been to the gulf multiple times before, and we have never experienced that before. That was very exciting for us! It is right on the main strip, but far enough off the strip to remain private. There are plenty of things to do within a 15 mile radius if you would want to venture out and see some different beaches, go out to eat or enjoy some drinks at one of the many outdoor bars, which we did and enjoyed them, but were always happy to come back to the condo and play shuffle board or just sit out on the screened in porch. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and hope to come back again.

Great beach condo with excellent views!

This is not my first stay at this lovely condo and for good reason. The location is perfect being right on the beach and amenities close by. The view from the balcony takes you away from the stresses of life and relaxes my mind and soul.It’s wonderful sitting on the balcony in the mornings with my coffee, listening to the waves and catching a glimpse of dolphins as they swim by. In the evenings with an adult beverage in my hand, I marvel at the beautiful sunsets.Having a choice between the beach or the condo pool is a welcomed option. The condo is setup with all the essentials I need to feel right at home. Hence my return visits to this lovely condo.

Most relaxing vacation in years

I rarely review vacation spots however this one really made a difference. I stayed at a privately owned and run condominium on the Fort Myers beach in Southwest Florida. It was even more than I could've hoped for. The owner promised that the condo would be cleaned to COVID-19 standards and it was. From the time I open the front door until my wife and I left a week later there wasn't one thing missing from the condo it was completely equipped to the highest standards you could imagine. Everything was spotlessly clean and we felt very safe. The view was magnificent and the sunsets couldn't of been any better we just happen to hit a wonderful week where the weather was perfect, the beach wasn't crowded, and everyone kept their social distancing which made us feel more comfortable. We did go shopping at the local Publix, not far away as mentioned by the owner Steve is the best place to pick up food as we would not be eating out a lot. We did visit some local restaurants but ate outside just to be politically correct and safe. The owner couldn't of been any nicer when we had a couple of questions on where to visit and make small purchases for our family back home. Steve if you read this I want you to know that we will be back next year we're already looking at our schedules to see when we can make reservations. The complete vacation was perfect and your assistance was better than we could have imagined. We thank you again and we are going to tell our friends, on the East Coast of Florida where we live, that that's the new place to go, at smugglers cove in Fort Myers at the Most owned condo. If you ever get to the East Coast and want to pay us a visit will take you to lunch. We thank you again for being such a gracious host. Stay safe, and stay well and keep doing what you're doing. Thanks again Milton and Fran.
