This spacious two-bedroom retreat was the perfect base for our beach getaway. The location made it easy to enjoy the beach and explore nearby attractions. The comfortable accommodations and thoughtful amenities made our stay both relaxing and enjoyable.

Beautiful Condo on the beach!

Loved the lanai patio! Close walk to beach! I stayed during 4th of July weekend and watched fireworks from front porch. Condo was clean. Would recommend.

Lovely Relaxing Location

Our family enjoyed this wonderful stay on Fort Myers Beach. The beach is only a 5 minute walk at the end of the neighborhood road. It made it so easy to go back and forth for anything we forgot or needed. A huge plus was Publix being less than 1 mile away. We loved the screened lanai for sunrise and sunsets and the unit felt cozy. We are so excited to return next year!

Great location

The house was very nice! Considering the damage around that area due to Ian. It was clean, nicely remodeled and the location was perfect. Very close to the beach! Beds are a little bit hard, and we had some leaks on the kitchen, but once I contacted the property manager it was taken care of. I highly recommend!!

Good stay at Dolphin Beach Retreat

Hello, We had a fine stay at your place. Especially liked the ample room, good beds, basic kitchen, comfortable sofas, hot showers, generous towels, good AC, great open air screened in lanai, and location close to beach walks. Here are the potential negatives: Sliding glass door locks seem sketchy - bedroom one was hard to lock. We couldn't get the clothes washer to work. We tried a lot and even texted Dayla to get some advice, which she immediately relayed from the maintenance folks... but to no avail. I think you could post some directions. We ended up doing some hand washing, and then putting wet clothes in the dryer. Only other issue was the incredibly wimpy corkscrew. It broke in our hands. :-) Thanks again, Ed

Very disappointing stay

When we arrived there was garbage in the driveway that no one ever removed before the hurricane. This was a vehicle seat along with other junk. The pictures online were old photos the pictures online did not reflect the actual home. No one checked on the property after the hurricane. The washer and dryer were not working along with the wind destroyed the screen. There were ants and traps but the ant traps were filled.

Disappointed I paid that amount!

The slider door wouldn’t lock. I reached out and was told how to lock a door. Last day they they sent property manager. Still wouldn’t lock. Screen door closure broke off. Bathroom cabinet door hinge fell off. The patio furniture was out dated and unstable. I am very aware of hurricane Ian and the damage it caused. But after two years they should either lower price or take off market until it’s ready.

Shouldn't be offered

We booked fully understanding there may be some interruptions to services (didn’t complain no wifi or tv, no outdoor lights, screens missing) bc of hurricane impacts. What we didn’t expect was the inability to lock door when we left and no power in half the home. Agency was not helpful in their responses, the after hour service no longer under contract with them, supposedly sent maintenance person after several days there and reported lock worked which was impossible as mechanism was completely missing. Videos/photos sent right away to VRBO and no resolution from either them or agency. Will not book with VRBO again nor recommend this property mngmt.

Horrible Management Company

I understand there was a traumatic event that happened in the area we were staying. We knew things wouldn’t be the same. Here is what we thought. If you are advertising a house for rent with amenities than you should make sure they are there and functional prior to allowing people to stay. They had no power in over half the house, no a/c (house was 89 inside), couldn’t open windows because the screens were torn and the sand flies were bad at night. There was no washer that was also advertised. We got an email prior to stay stating the beaches might not be back to normal or businesses but we called the city and spoke with them prior to booking. At no point did they think to reach out to us to tell us about what the property actually had. Not only that they do not answer their phones. Everything was a lie for them. There is a gal that answers the phone two days a weeks and all I got from here is she would have the property manager call me back. I had to take my kids and leave to find another place. VRBO has been horrible at helping get my money back and Costal Breeze has not contacted them back as well. I would not recommend working with the company Costal Breeze. The neighbors that also work with them have said they put in work orders and nothing has come out of them doing that. They were staying there with no power and no air as well. Run, do not work with this company!

Great property with some issues

My family and I checked into the property Friday 4/28. As soon as we got to the property, we took the key out of the lock box and realized the door wasn’t locked. Once inside the property we realized the main sliding glass door to the living room only locks from inside, and the key does not work at all to lock from outside. The only other door was a sliding glass door in the primary bedroom. That door did not lock either. We contacted the property management company right away to tell them of the issue. The property management company emailed back on 4/30 and said their maintenance man would be out the next day which would have been Monday 5/1. We also informed the property manager in email on 4/28 that the WiFi was not working and was told they’d schedule a technician to fix it. The maintenance man didn’t show up 5/1, so we called the office 5/2 and received a recording saying they’re only open Mondays and Thursdays. 5/2 we received another email saying they’re waiting to hear from the owner about the WiFi and that the maintenance man should be there that day. The maintenance man did not showing 5/2. We also emailed the property management 5/1 because we were given 4 bath towels, and 8 washcloths for four people to last 10 days, and the washer/dryer was out of service. We finally received towels and WiFi 5/4, but no maintenance man for the lock. Since we were unable to lock the property, we had to keep all our medications/valuables with us. Very unprofessional management!

Dolphin Beach Retreat Upper B is a cozy two-bedroom spot just a short walk from the beach. It's in a quiet area but close enough to grab a bite or rent a jet ski. Perfect if you want a peaceful stay with easy beach access.

Perfect Family Getaway in Fort Myers Beach!

Our family of four had an amazing stay at this rental! It had everything we needed and more—super clean, well-stocked with extra bedding, and even some surprise beach toys and chairs for the kids, which made our beach days even better. The shared onsite laundry was easy to use and kept clean, so no issues there. The location is perfect—just a short walk to the beach and Publix, which was super convenient. Right behind Publix is a great little bar that we enjoyed for dinner (highly recommend going before 4:30 as it fills up fast!). Getting around was a breeze with golf cart rides available for just a few bucks per person (kids ride free!) to Times Square. This rental truly made our Fort Myers Beach vacation stress-free and enjoyable. Highly recommend for families looking for a comfortable and convenient stay! 🌴☀️

So glad to be back at FMB. The property was what we needed and exactly the part of the island where we wanted to be. the kitchen was well stocked, and the property manager responded quickly and well to any concerns we had. Recommend this to others.

Overall not bad

When we arrived the front mini blinds were missing 75%of the shades, so no privacy. And the front screen door needs replaced, does not latch and continued to bang all night with the wind. The screen door cut the top of my foot the first night.Did reach out to owner and the blinds were replaced with curtains the next morning. Nothing was done with the door. Some floor tiles were coming up from the floor. Toaster caused the smoke alarm to go off when used. Place was clean and very convenient to the beach. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes and pots and pans.

Get away weekend

No complaints about property itself, it was good for that price. The issue that we had was quickly resolved by management. Kids were not happy with the beach quality, but there are better options available with an hour driving.
