Photos are post Hurricane Ian and current as of 7/13/2024. Rebuild/remodel is 100% complete. If you're looking to book elsewhere in Fort Myers Beach, be sure to confirm with host that photos are current, as some that we know of are not yet rebuilt and showing pre-Ian photos.

House is a beautiful, freshly remodeled, 5 bedroom, 3.5 bath, non-smoking home with two kitchens. House is located at the north end of the island near Times Square, the new Margaritaville Resort, and the popular downtown and Bayside Park areas. Our house sleeps 12 excluding an inflatable twin mattress and the pack-n-play. No more than 13 guests can be accommodated due to fire code, no exceptions.

House is fully equipped - towels, linens, soap, shampoo, etc. are provided.

You'll find the outdoor space as nice as anything you'll find on the island. Your outdoor oasis and over-sized, heated pool are ready for you to enjoy. We're told that the pool is the largest private pool on the island and is heated to a constant 83 degrees (pool will be warmer than that from May-October as we don't cool it). Beach chairs, pub tables, outdoor grill are all ready for your use.

Free Wi-Fi. Xfinity high def cable with more than 140 channels and the extra sports package. All bedrooms include wall mounted, HD TVs with cable (4 of 5 with smart TVs).

You're going to find more than you expect - certainly more than you'll find in most vacation rentals. We have a pack-n-play, highchair, booster seat. We have two high capacity washing machines and two dryers. We have hair dryers in each bathroom plus a hair straightener in one bathroom. Far too much for us to list everything included in this space.

Notice to guests: Southern Serenity has outdoor security cameras. They are not concealed and clearly visible. They are for security purposes only. There are no concealed cameras and no cameras inside the home.

Perfect for our family of 8 gathering for Christmas and New Year- super pool and walkable to all attractions and beach. Quiet street and comfortable home. Would definitely stay again.

Paradise

If you want to be close to beach and have a pool (which is huge) this is your place! Plenty of space for our family of ten. Very comfortable beds, second kitchen in lower level a plus. Teenagers enjoyed the lower level playing PS5 on the large TV. Can’t wait to come back!

Labor Day Trip

This house is in a great location and had everything we needed to just relax near the beach for the weekend. The abundance of baby/kid supplies made it super easy to bring our one year old on his first vacation. The communication with the host was super easy and quick. If we find ourselves retaining to Fort Myers Beach, we'd definitely stay again!

Response:Thanks again for staying with us. Do come back to see us.

The hosts were extremely responsive esp considering we were caught in a tropical storm while visiting. He was resourceful, informative, accommodating, and reassuring. The place was perfect for what we needed-beautiful set up inside and out. Well stocked! Close to the beach and other amenities. Would highly recommend this place.

We fully enjoyed this property!

We had such a wonderful stay Brad & Shelly’s home. Upon arrival we found the property to be pristine clean. It’s way bigger than I thought it would be. We had two families stay and there was plenty of room! The beds were all super comfy. There are essentially 3 floors & the basement area could be an apartment on its own-there’s a kitchenette, full bath all down there. There’s 2 sets of washers and dryers which helped keep our towels clean and dry. Lots of thoughtful additions if you have babies, like high chairs, pack and play, toilet seats and steps, baby spoons etc. It was HOT the week we stayed and the air conditioning kept up nicely. The pool area was so wonderful! The outdoor space was large with lots of chairs, a grill, garbage cans etc and was nice and private. Essentially everything felt new at the house and freshly renovated and modern. It was nicely decorated as well. There were tons of beach gear, chairs, sand toys, shell collecting bags, a wagon and cart to carry the supplies. Only 1 umbrella but you can rent additional gear at the beach. The walk to the beach was short. The beach itself wasn’t overly crowded and the water was shallow and nice and warm. We walked and walked far out and it didn’t get very deep. We looked at several properties in FMB and are certainly glad we chose this one!

Response:Thank you for the kind review. We're happy that you enjoyed your time with us. Please consider us again next time your travels bring you back to the island. Brad & Shelley

Excellent!

My family and I absolutely love this property and the owners! Upon arrival, you will walk into a clean, fresh house. Everything you need to enjoy your vacation is already there and ready to go. You can immediately tell that the owners care about the property and they want you to enjoy their house and your vacation. Not only that but if you do have any questions or concerns, they’re only a phone call away. Super simple. Love it! 10/10

This property is great for families. Short walk to beach and private pool was a hit for our teens. The property had everything needed for the beach and pool. We will be back!!

Great vacation!

We couldn’t have had a better place to stay, great location & great people that own the property, great communication, they went over and above to make sure we were set & even let us know that the bridge was going to be closed down about the time we needed to check out. Great place to stay!!! Thank you!

Response:Thank you. It was our pleasure to host your family. We hope you’ll come back and see us when the final remodel project is complete.

Great family vacation spot

“Love the pool and the location”

Love the pool and the location. Although Ian has made its mark on FMB, Southern Serenity has made a remarkable comeback. The best place to stay on FMB.

Getting around

House is 200' from the back bay and 1680' from the public beach. We're a half mile from Times Square. There were about 20-25 bars & restaurants within a 15-minute walk. More and more of them are opening every day. Check our website for a comprehensive list of who's open. No car necessary as everything is within walking distance except the grocery store. For groceries, use Instacart, Amazon Grocery, or one of the other grocery delivery services. If you have a car, Walmart is open and just a short, 5-or-so minute drive.

These directions are for planning purposes only. You may find that construction projects, traffic, weather, or other events may cause conditions to differ from the map results, and you should plan your route accordingly. You must obey all signs or notices regarding your route.
