Awesome House Right On the Beach
The whole setting was perfect. Each couple had a king sized bed and private bathroom. Super comfy beds, stocked kitchen. Closest beach access Ive had. The beach was literally steps away. We spent a lot of time at the beach, shelling and just relaxing. A sea turtle laid eggs just in front one night. We definitely would do it again!

Beautiful beach house - Sanibel looks so close!
Our family stayed in March for two wonderful weeks and created such great memories. Very clean, resourceful and so comfortable. The views are amazing from everywhere and the outdoor lanai and decking was just perfect. Sunsets were breathtaking. Owners take such pride and very helpful with anything needed during our stay. Thank you!

Perfect Beach Spot
This was our second stay at this house and once again, it was perfect. Steps to the beautiful beach and we were able to watch dolphins and sunsets from the deck. We loved the new additions to the deck area. Great spaces for breakfast, dinner and cocktails. Clean, easy check-in and very responsive hosts. Definitely recommend and we will be back!

Amazing House Steps from the Beach
I cannot say enough about this amazing property. The house was immaculate and very well stocked with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The white sandy beach was steps away but we spent most of our day on the incredibly large and comfortable deck. The pictures on line do not do it justice. Paul and Christine checked in with us a few times to make sure we were comfortable and to see if there was anything we needed. We hope to get back here again soon!

Great stay on FMB
We had a great week on FMB in this beautiful home. The bedrooms were large and comfortable, the bathrooms were clean and spacious and the kitchen was very well appointed. We appreciated the very well stocked spice cupboard and ready coffee supplies. The view of the gulf and easy beach access topped off the week. Our hosts checked in periodically to make sure we had everything we needed.

Wonderful beach get-away!
Our stay at Cardinal Island was such a wonderful get-away! The home is clean, bright, and lovely, and literally just steps to the beach! There is deck space with plenty of seating and a nice eating area to enjoy your morning coffee, share a meal, or watch the amazing sunsets. We had everything we needed for the week to cook, grill out, do laundry, and relax on the beach. Comfy beds for restful nights! Excellent communication with the owners! We hope to stay here again!

Great Place to Relax
Spend much need time with family. We had the perfect accommodations for 3 couples with the each getting a bedroom and a bath. The kitchen had most of all we needed and the view from the balcony was fabulous (unfortunately due to the houses in line are missing from Ian). We enjoyed dolphin & bird watching and plenty of shells for all!! Can't wait to come back!!

This home was a piece of paradise
Everything was perfect from booking to check out. The view is to die for! The pictures are accurate only it is even more beautiful than the photos. We slept with the master bedroom with the blinds open so I could wake up to see the white sand beach! There are two decks you could sit on. And the house is on the beach... Fabulous! The house was immaculate and well appointed, it had everything we needed for our stay. The host was very communicative and answered our questions promptly. Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home on your beautiful beach!

Beautiful view
Our family absolutely loved our stay at this property! Steps away from the beach with fantastic views of the ocean from both decks. We enjoyed incredible sunsets from either the deck or the beach every night. The house is so welcoming and comfortable. The owners have thought of everything you will need for an easy, relaxing stay. Communication with them was awesome! We would definitely book this property again if we return to Fort Myers.

Beautiful home just steps from the Gulf Water.
We stayed a week at Cardinal Island House and absolutely loved out stay here. Beautiful 2 story home sits about 50 yards from the water. The pictures are great but the house is so much more. Communication with Paul & Christine was fabulous. They are truly great hosts. Each bedroom has its own en suite which was great. Plenty of room to spread out and have your own space but still gather together for family time. Gorgeous views of the gulf and from both decks. You can even watch the sunset from your Master Bedroom deck or right from your bed if you like. there is also Jet ski, Parasailing, SUP, Beach chair and umbrella rentals just a few yards walking South on the beach. This is at the top of our list of rentals that we have stayed at and would definitely love to come back in the future.

The house is amazing; every beach town needs a house like this! It has everything you need. We were especially impressed with the quality of the dishes and cookware. It is a very short walk to the beach. We enjoyed our stay and the owners were easy to work with!

Excellent Location Mid-Island
We enjoyed our stay. The property was clean and located literally just steps from the beach - our doggos loved the beach. The location was good at mid-island away from the busy traffic hub. We were impressed with Paul - towards the end of our stay a tropical disturbance was closing in and Paul regularly checked in on us to make sure all was well. We appreciated his concern. A good experience this property is on our list to re-book.
