We loved this place. We almost don't want to say nice things because it should be kept a secret! It is fabulous and has everything you could want. Really modern appliances, TVs - even Apple TV - etc. Everything was really clean on arrival (a fantastic job by Michael's wife!) and well maintained and it really does have everything you need. Michael was really helpful and very prompt in meeting us. The key was available in a lockbox when we arrived the night before and we got in no problem. The views over the Caloosahatchee are great and the Boat House bar and restaurant is immediately opposite across the canal and its food is good and very reasonably priced with live music most days.
The swimming pool is great and the fact it is not enclosed means it is much nicer and we were not unduly troubled by bugs. There is a good grill out the back and there are bikes in the garage.
However for me, the very best bit was the boat. A Sea Ray 270 is available to you at a reasonable extra cost. Jurgen the boat captain sorts this out and he is also a really nice guy. It was awesome and because you are right next to the main waterway this means you can be on your way immediately without endless idling down canals. Also the gas dock is opposite at the restaurant. We did Estero, Sanibel and Captiva and loved every minute.
Well done Michael - we hope to be back sometime soon!

We stayed here as a family for a week in August. I am slightly loathed to tell everyone about this place as it will then get booked up and we may not be able to go again! It is simply the nicest villa we have stayed in. Everything was perfect. It is beautifully laid out and decorated and immaculately clean - all very modern and light, with some lovely personal touches. We were there with two teenagers who made full use of the Wifi and the Apple television. The villa is in a perfect location for access to the water and having access to the boat as part of the property was amazing. We used it every day and loved it. The only shame is that this villa is 3 rather than 4 bedrooms - which limits its use for two families, but it was perfect for our needs. Finally, I would mention Michael - the manager, who was really helpful. This is a beautiful property and we were so glad we found it!

The Flamingo Island house is spacious, characterful and perfectly clean; we loved its atmosphere from the first moment we entered. Every aspect of the interior's decor is delightful, including the central open modern kitchen, comfortable master bedroom with integrated bathroom and two more wonderful sleeping rooms with extra bath rooms. We spent a lot of time outside on one of the terraces and watched dolphins from the sitting area with our son enjoying the pool all day. But not to forget the expansive living/dining area with two fireplaces which featured a comfortable couch, flat-screen TV, and large dining table for more than 8 people. There is also the possibility to rent the owners boat with a jetty direct at the house.
Summing up, the house was charming and luxurious, the perfect home for deeply relaxing vacation! It was also a excellent position for our day trips to the islands Sanibel and Captiva, the beach of Fort Myers and to the Everglades.
