We had a wonderful vacation at Cardinal Island. This house was stocked so well- we have stayed with other agencies before on FMB and this house beat them all hands down! Communication was excellent with the hosts. We had a great time shelling and relaxing- the decks were awesome to watch the sunset and the below patio area was a great place to escape from the sun. We plan to book again next year.

This property was beyond expectations. It's exactly as described, right on the beach. The owners were more than cordial and responded within 10 minutes of any requests we had. It was all there for us. The toughest part of the vacation was learning to do nothing!

We really enjoyed our time at Cardinal House. The view of the Gulf is incredible from the decks!! The house has everything you would need. My kids really appreciated the Christmas tree, lights on the deck and the wreath. We spent a lot of time walking on the beach and floating in the Gulf looking for sand dollars and conch shells on the beach and on the sand bars.

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!

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!

The house was perfect for our group of three adult couples. Great location on the island and just a few steps from the water. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Would definitely recommend.

Great property especially for an adult group. Very comfortable bedding, extremely well stocked. Nice views from both decks. Very clean. Caring host. Everything was so nice we did not even mind the hurricane that much😀. You will enjoy staying here.

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!

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.

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!

So happy with our stay at Cardinal Island. From the owners hospitality to the perfect beach location. No surprises and perfect weather despite the tropics amping up. Wonderfully relaxing weekend even met new friends that were neighbors during our stay. Definately will return.

The property was everything we hoped for and more! The home came well furnished and we loved being right on the beach. The main deck off of the living room became a favorite hang-out place for breakfast and late afternoon unwinding after a day at the beach. The bedrooms were very comfortable. If we ever vacationed in Fort Myers again, we would seriously consider staying here again. Communication with the owners was very easy and they answered all of our questions, including answers about fishing charters.

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!

What an amazing experience we had. We stayed at Cardinal island for our annual grandparents trip and we couldn’t be any happier that we did. The house was perfect! It was very close to the beach (about 100 feet) and you can enjoy the sunsets from the top floor without leaving the home. The house was clean, spacious and literally equipped with everything you may want or need. Communication with owners was wonderful. Would definitely stay there again.

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!

I have been going to Ft. Myers Beach since I was a kid but this years stay was by far the very best. We stayed at The Island Cardinal for a week and loved every minute of our stay. The 3 bedroom home was big enough for our family of six. The entire home was well equipped with all the things we may have needed. We prepared our meals daily in its' well equipped kitchen. Enjoyed our daily coffee on the outdoor wooden deck or walked to the beach in our PJ's to watch the sunrise since the beach is just steps away. There is no need to get in your car and drive to the public beach. You can easily set up on the beach and not worry about leaving your personal items there. The sunsets are breathtaking! It is centrally located on the island but just a short drive to pier where you will find local shops, restaurants, and bars. It was the perfect home away from home! Can't wait to return next summer!!
