Location is nice, it's away from all the hustle and bustle. condo was clean with nice amenities. Bathroom very nice, the 2nd bath/shower was too dark when shower curtain closed, but no big deal, might want to consider adding a light. The only reason I gave it a lower star rating on communication was that it was strange how they communicated. If you called, for anything they say they'll call you back after checking, then you get a text with answer. I find that a little weird - either call me or make it all text messaging. For example, I called about renting a golf cart and where to park it, they couldn't answer then texted me back, but I had more questions, like where to plug it in. The person said anywhere but there were no outlets. Luckily the Pink Shell Hotel allowed us to part there because that's where the company stored their carts. Other than that little communication glitch we really like it.
Very familiar with Estero Island but first time staying at BV. The apt was lovely and just what we wanted for our long weekend. The only disappointment was that we were called 2 days before our trip and told the pool would be closed 2 of our 3 day stay. It ended up being closed the whole time we were there and no pool in August in Florida is pretty rough! Other than that our trip was enjoyable, the sunsets were beautiful and the food was fabulous!
The room was well equipped to cook meals, the balcony was nice and the bedrooms were great. Our only issue was the water pressure in the master bedroom. It literally to 30-45 minutes to shower to get the hair products out
We loved our stay at this property. The condo is exactly as represented in the listing. Very clean and well maintained. The table and chairs on the lanai are high so your view of the ocean isn't obstructed. The master bed was comfortable.
The location is good - there is a trolley stop at The Pink Shell resort right next door which makes it easy to get to Times Square if you don't want to drive.
If I could change one thing, it would be the second bathroom. It's very dark when you are in the shower and the tub is slippery. This could be easily remedied though by swapping out the exhaust fan for one with that includes a light and putting a non-slip mat in the tub.
Also, there is no parking available for guests. We wanted to have someone come visit us but there was nowhere for them to park on property.
All and all we would stay at this property again in the future.
Lovely place! Looked just like the pictures and the view of the beach was awesome! Only downside is itâs about a mile from time square. I would stay again though.
My family and I took a weekend vacation to this rental property. The location was great and the condo was clean! My family and I enjoyed our stay very much!
We received a call by the property manager that our reservation was being cancelled because the doors were being painted and the work would not be completed. I was given a choice of 3 other properties that did not have enough beds to accommodate the number of people in our group.
When I asked what could be done, I was basically told either to accept one of the properties offered or cancel the reservation and receive a refund.
We had our nonrefundable airfare, nonrefundable car rental and our dogs already boarded.
It was a terrible experience and the property managers/owners could have cared LESS!
Donât do it!!
Great property, clean, beautiful view, very comfortable beds, plenty of towels!
Our only complaint is that the pool lounge chairs were cleaned with bleach & made bleach spots on the towels, my visor & my friendâs dress. It would have been good to have a sign or note at the pool
However, the condo itself was perfect!
Nice, clean, great location! May I suggest at least a couple extra rolls of toilet paper so guests donât get âsurprisedâ when the first roll is out.
This property was super clean and updated. The screened in lanai was awesome. We debated renting a vehicle during our stay but glad we did as it gave us freedom to explore the area even though we were walking distance to shops and restaurants.

Place was very clean and updated. Close to town square ! We will be back!
During our visit to Fort Myers Beach, we stayed in the Estero Island Villas #202. The condo is very nice and well maintained. The kitchen is adequately stocked with dishes and cookware. It is a two bedroom unit, and for our family of 5, it was a little too tight. One family member slept on the sofa each night. For 4 or fewer people, the condo would be a better fit. The location is excellent, and parking was always available. It has a nice pool area, and 2 barbecue grills and picnic tables were available for outside meals. We enjoyed the beachfront access. However, beach towels and chairs are not provided. Laundry detergent and dishwashing detergent were very limited, and I purchased laundry detergent to wash our towels throughout our stay. For that reason, I gave it 4 stars rather than 5. We would stay here again.
Clean! I love staying anywhere it's clean! I do think it's time to update your bedding. Everyone likes to sleep with a comforter/duvet that has been washed and not used with prior visitors. I would stay here again and would recommend it to anyone looking in this area!
