Amazing Sunsets

Snowbird Retreat was just what we were looking for. The ocean view and proximity to the beach was the best. Unit has been nicely updated and the owners have made sure to include everything you might need from beach gear to blenders. We truly enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to return again.

Fabulous Stay!

Condo was wonderful, clean and as described. Building was quiet. Michele, the owner, was efficient and timely in terms of getting me all of the pre trip info and she got back to me immediately when I texted with a question. Thoroughly enjoyed the beach on a daily basis (walks, beautiful sunsets) - I really liked being on the gulf side - gentle rolling small waves and teeming with wildlife (birds). Great location! Helped that our weather was really nice :) Thanks for having us as your guests - I would definitely return again.

Amazing!

Condo was clean and comfy! We had 2 adults and 2 teenaged girls. And it was plenty of space for the 4 of us. Two bathrooms made it much easier for 4 people. It was exactly as described. Beds were great. AC worked wonderfully! Location was great. LOVED the sunsets on the beach. I would definitely come back to this condo. And I hope I get the chance to come back.

Another wonderful winter at the Sandarac

Thank you Michele for another great winter in your condo. Last year we made the decision to leave the cold weather and spend our winters in Florida. We were so very lucky to find your condo through VRBO. It is exactly what we were looking for - a spacious, comfortable 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo with beautiful views of the Gulf, a pool and most important right on the beach - we love to take walks on the beach. We are also happy that the condo is walking distance to several good restaurants, a tiki bar, shops and the movie theater. This is our second year renting Michele's condo and we have already booked it for next year.

It really is paradise

Gorgeous condo, directly on the beach. The condo had amazing views of the water and it was very convenient to the best restaurants and area shops. We especially loved this Condos South Island location as it allowed for quick access with very little traffic on and off the island. We drove down to Nappes for a day which was easy to do from this condos location. We noticed quite a bit more traffic congestion at the Islands second exit located on the North side of the Island . The traffic on that end was due to some part to road construction, however that side of the beach does appear to have much more congestion with both people and traffic. We appreciated this condos perfect location as a result. The owner of this condo was responsive in every way with quickly answering all of our questions providing area information and for providing us with a spotless, spacious condo just as advertised. The Internet was high speed and the cable televisiona had a great variety of channels for us to surf in the evenings. The condo had everything we needed including coffee, soaps, games, beach towels, beach chairs, coolers, hair dryers and more. We will definitely return and we have already recommended this condo to friends for their next vacation. Thank you for a great stay!

Really great condo and owner!

We had a great experience at the condo- first of all the condo is beautiful. It’s huge. It’s clean and it has beautiful ocean views. We all had plenty of room to spread out and the open living space made it easy to be together as well. Everything is there that you need and every little detail has been thought of from coffee to cookie sheets to beach gear. The condo is close to the elevator and is steps from the beach as well as the beachfront pool. The mid island beach area is really fun, it’s clean and you can rent jet skis or walk to the tiki bar next door. You are also walking distance to other shops and restaurants in a little plaza down the street and a short ride (or drive) to both Bonita springs and the north end of fort Myers beach. Michele is awesome, very easy to reach if you have any questions. We love to rent on Vrbo for our summer vacations and rarely do we necessarily stay in the same place twice- but we really loved this one and we will definitely be back!

Great beach getaway!

This was a great location for a nice beach getaway. The pool was really nice and had a tropical feel overlooking the palm trees and beach--we used it a lot! The condo is also situated on a nice part of the beach, away from the bigger crowds for a more relaxed feel. We even spotted a dolphin swimming along the shoreline! This was a great home base for our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Tim & Anne Lyons

Host profile image
We're Anne & Tim Lyons, owners of the Ocean State School of Gymnastics in Lincoln Rhode Island have been married and in business together since 1980. Visiting friends in the Fort Myers Beach area for the past 35 years has given us an affection to the area and have always wanted to purchase a condo on the beach for personal use a few times a year as well as for investment purposes. We have been landlords in RI for the past 40 years and have decided to move our property investing south. We have been looking at possible properties in the area for years and believe we've found our gem.

Why they chose this property

Property is on the beach. The common areas and grounds are maintained beautifully. Easy access to Bonita Springs and Naples. Great management!

What makes this property unique

There is access to Estero Island on both the south end and the north end. The north entrance is very busy during season. This condo is situated more mid/south island which puts you closer to the south egress which gives you a great option for less congested travel.
