Will be staying again.
Really enjoyed our time at this rental. Been going to Fort Myers for years and haven't found a place to go back to, but I think we have now. Loved the pool, the house and the amenities, especially the ice machine. The neighborhood was quiet, and it was quick and easy to get to the house and to the stores and to the restaurants.

Great Property and Location
My partner and I had a great time staying at this property. The house was beautifully furnished and is a quick half hour drive from the airport and the nearest beaches. We mostly stayed outside on the lanai. The property manager was very responsive to texts. We texted to ask about the spa jets not working. We tried to trouble shoot, but unfortunately we couldn’t get them to work for us. The only other downside was there really wasn’t a kayak launch. It was a bit of a hassle for us to wrangle the kayaks down and out of the water from the dock- the tide/water might have been lower than usual. Overall it’s a beautiful property and was definitely worth the stay.

Week long vacation- beautiful clean home. Quiet and safe neighborhood. Kids enjoyed fishing at the canal and swimming in the pool. Pool water was warm due to summer heat. Didn’t find a life jacket at the property but wish there was one for my son when he went kayaking. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful Home
We were so happy with this home. It's so clean & beautifully decorated. The pool was great & we spent all our time in it. The lights at night in the lanai were so cool & we really enjoyed sitting outside when the sun went down. The white deck area was my favorite part of the house. I spent a lot of time out there soaking up the sun. At night there is a green light in the water that attracts the fish. It was very relaxing to watch the fish swim around it & I swear they were chasing each other & playing. I honestly cannot say enough good things about this place. If you get the chance, stay here. You will NOT be disappointed.

This property is beautiful inside and out. The listing is exactly like it says. Our family of 5 took full advantage of everything we could. The outdoor area is gorgeous with plenty of space. The neighborhood is super safe and quiet. The interior is beautiful and so clean. We all slept great each night and enjoyed the sunny Florida weather. We will definitely be back.

Wow!!!
Wow!! Is all I can say about this property!! It was exactly as pictured, and it was SO comfortable!! Sometimes when you stay in a rental, it never feels completely comfortable… but that was NOT the case here!! Between the cleanliness and amenities, this place was fantastic!! We’ll definitely be staying here again when we visit Fort Myers!! The place was almost too big for just my husband and I, but it gave us a really nice place to invite our couple of family members who lived in the area to visit during the days! My cousins even felt totally comfortable bringing their newborn over for some quiet relaxation! The pool was amazing, it was so nice that it was heated! The pool and pool area was very nice and clean! The screened in pool area gave you a great place to relax without any bugs! My only regret was that we didn’t start fishing right away! My husband caught an array of fish, right off the dock!! I wish I could attach pictures, but he caught Catfish, Snapper, Red Fish, Mojarro, and a Tarpon! Some may have been good luck, but it was SO MUCH FUN! We even caught a blue crab in the trap they had at the house! The marble patio by the dock was even nice for the mornings when the sun wasn’t quite in the pool and the evenings when you wanted to take advantage of the outdoor fire pit! I have nothing but positive things to say about our stay! Will most definitely be back! Thank you for offering a fantastic place to stay!!

Love the property, we have stayed at several VRBO properties this one has everything that you would ever need. Very clean, quiet area, nice wide canal for renting a boat. Pool nice and warm, has fishing equipment, nice bikes, beach chairs, kayaks, coolers, and even a commercial ice maker. Everything that you can imagine. Thank you for sharing your house. We hope to return.

Spectacular Home
What an amazing stay we had at Rivers Edge!!! This home is nestled in a quiet neighborhood yet close to so many stores, we found the location to be just perfect. The home is was exceptionally clean, with all brand new appliances, furniture and was beautifully decorated. The house was very spacious and the beds were super comfortable. The kitchen had all the essentials and amenities, the owners thought of everything, including an ice machine in the garage that was much appreciated!! Our days were spent relaxing on the amazing backyard patio at the rivers edge or enjoying the beautifully heated pool. We also explored the river and waterways with the kayaks that were provided. Evenings were spent grilling or going to Sunset Harbor which had many restaurants/ bars and is within a 5 minute drive or if you are a boater you can take your boat there. Kate was super sweet and so very helpful with any questions we had regarding the home or recommendations. I must say this home will not disappoint, we are booking again next year. Thanks to the owners who thought everything to make our vacation truly memorable!

A gem of a property in a great location!
This property is newly remodeled beautifully! We loved that kayaks and bicycles were provided. The pool was a treat as well. We enjoyed kayaking down the canal into the river. The location made it easy to visit all the local farmers markets, including the one on Sanibel Island. You’ll also never run out of ice for cocktails and coolers with the huge ice machine. We look forward to visiting again!

The perfect rental in Fort Myers
This property was beautiful! From the comfortable welcoming interior to the Lanai and screened in pool. We enjoyed every part of it. My son really enjoyed being able to fish right off the dock at the house. The house was clean and stocked with everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The ice machine and use of coolers made it so easy for us to get to our baseball games! This was such a perfect location for us as it was close to baseball, restaurants, and shopping. We will definitely be back the next time travel baseball brings us to Fort Myers!
