We had 8 adults and 4 kids under the age of 5, and this home and its location to Fort Meyers Beach during spring break was perfect. It had everything we needed for fun - pool and sand toys, beach towels, beach chairs, bikes and everything we needed for cooking/eating at home - air fryer, blender, plastic plates and cups for the little ones, various serving/mixing/baking pans and bowls. Grocery shopping was easy with an Aldi, SuperWalmart, and liquor store all within 10 minutes. Though we went out for dinner at 2 close yummy restaurants, Nervous Nellies and Doc Ford's Rum Bar & Grille, it was easy to prepare our meals at the house since it was well supplied.The warm backyard pool was such a hit!! On one end, there is an area that fits 3 beach chairs so one can lounge right in the pool - this was a super area for the little ones too. Though the beach was close, we drove to it to get all the necessities (toys and chairs) there - parking right along the beach was only 5 per hour and there were spots still available when we went mid-morning. The beach was clean and the sand was great for playing in.The balconies were very nice, with the huge one off of the living space really useful. The neighborhood is quiet, so sitting on either balcony is peaceful.Barry accommodated our number of 12 by having 2 fold up twin beds for us - we placed each mattress on the floor of one of the upstairs walk-in closets and then had two quiet little "bedrooms" for the toddlers.Thank you Barry!
