We have 100’s of great reviews from our old website. Below is a small selection:

Location, location, location
Lisa G – GV494 – Jan 2020 – 5 Stars
We stayed in Gateway 494 for a week and couldn’t have asked for a better location. It was just a short walk to Times Square, conveniently located between 2 stops for the free tram, and it’s on the quieter side of the island which we really liked. Richard was easy to communicate with, provided timely responses, and made it easy for us to have the baby items we rented delivered and waiting for us upon arrival. This unit was perfect for our 2 young kiddos – there were plenty of beach toys and beach towels, and we were able to watch our daughter’s favorite shows and movie on the Roku TV to wind down at night. The full time residents in the building are very friendly and we felt like we were part of a community. We’d definitely stay here again when we return to Ft. Myers!

Home from Home!
Jim L – GV694 – Mar 2020 – 5 Stars
We have been coming here every year for 20 years. This is like home from home for us.

Great Views!
Anna F – VV532 – Mar2020 – 5 Stars
This is a gorgeous one-bed condo – just the right size for us. We have been coming here for many years. We just love the beautiful views of the sea from the high floor. Great to relax on the lanai or walk the beach – and we saw dolphins playing very close to the beach. We will definitely keep coming back.

We always rent 694!
Carol F – GV694 – July2019 – 5 Stars
My family come to Gateway Villa every year and we always rent 694. It is  great condo and we love this area for our family vacation.

Fin lägenhet med toppenläge  (Nice apartment with top location)
Ann E (from Sweden) – GV899 – Jul2019 – 5 Stars
Toppenläge, fin fullt utrustad lägenhet. Fin utsikt. Lugnt och välskött. Nära till restauranger och affärer. Ägaren Richard var mycket hjälpsam och tillmötesgående. Allt fungerade utmärkt. Vi kommer gärna tillbaka.
Top location, nice fully equipped apartment. Nice views. Quiet and well maintained. Close to restaurants and shops. The owner Richard was very helpful and accommodating. Everything worked great. We will gladly return. 

Wonderful Vacation
Derek C – VV135 – Sept 2019 – 5 Stars
If I could give Richard ten stars I would. He was more than accommodating. We had to switch vacation times on a short notice and Richard was very helpful. It was the trip of a lifetime with friends and loved ones. We will definitely be contacting Richard for future vacations!

Clean & perfect view of ocean/beach
Debbie D – GV494 – Aug2018 – 5 Stars
First time visiting ocean (Aug 2018) and Richard and his condo did not let us down. He has great communication and the condo was clean and stocked with everything we needed plus more. Everyone at Gateway Villas went above and beyond. If you are wanting a clean place with a wonderful view of ocean/beach you will not go wrong here and everything is within walking distance. If we make it down that way again we will use them again.

gute lage  (good location)
Doris L (from Germany) – VV131 – Sep2018 – 5 Stars
wir waren sehr zufrieden mit der ferienwohnung sie war sauber die lage direkt am strand war nicht zu toppen ,und es war ruhig ,da es eine Sackgasse war.Man konnte sehr gut viele Dinge unternehmen.Vom Strand aus konnten wir selbst Delfine beobachten.Die nicht korrekte Klimaanlage wurde schnell repariert.auch war die wohnung genau wie im Internet beschrieben.die vorbereitung auf unseren Aufenthalt war super mit vielen Anregungen zum Essen ,Einkaufen,Unternehmungen unw.Das einzige was uns etwas gestört hat das für den kleinen Bus der da überall gefahren ist ,uns niemand sagen konnte wann er fährt,wohin und wie lange er abends die leute noch mitnimmt,sonst hätten wir abends mal das Auto stehen lassen können.
We were very pleased with the apartment; they were clean; the location right on the beach was not to beat, and it was quiet, since it was at the road end. You could very well do many things. From the beach we could watch dolphins. An air conditioning issue was quickly repaired. Also the apartment was exactly as described in the internet. The preparation for our stay was great with many suggestions for food, shopping, things to do. The only thing which bothered us a bit was for the trolley bus, as no one could tell us when he is driving, where and how long he takes the people in the evening, otherwise we could have left the car in the evening.

Exceptional Condo!
Carolyn M – GV899 – Mar2017 – 5 star
Thank you Richard & Denise for sharing your piece of paradise with us! Your condo is absolutely amazing, equipped with everything we needed to have the most enjoyable stay! We’ve been vacationing in FMB for the past 10 years, and your property is by far the best we’ve stayed in! We look forward to staying here again for sure!

Perfect
Jack C – VV135 – July 2019 – 5 Star
Our vacation at Vacation Villas was perfect! The condo was perfect with everything we needed. And Richard was fantastic to deal with. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for the perfect place for the perfect vacation! We will be back

Sehr schöne Wohnung in top Lage (Very nice condo in top location)
Norman F (from Germany) – GV899 – May2017 – 5 Stars
Die Wohnung ist schöner als auf den Fotos und super bestückt, es gab alles was wir brauchten vom Kinderbett bis zu Strandutensilien. Wir waren mit zwei kleinen Kindern und einem befreundeten Päärchen dort und hatten genug Platz. Die Küchen ist bestens ausgestattet und wir haben oft unten am Strand gegrillt. Check-In war einfach… Richard und Denise sind sehr zuvorkommend. Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen und können die Wohnung sowie die Vermieter nur empfehlen. 
 The apartment is nicer than the photos and super stocked, there was everything we needed from the cot to beach utensils. We were there with two young children and a friendly couple and had enough space. The kitchens are well equipped and we often grilled down the beach. Check-in was easy … Richard and Denise are very attentive. We enjoyed the stay very much and can recommend the apartment as well as the landlord

Wonderful Condo!
Sherri S – VV131 – June2018 – 5 Stars
Wonderful Condo with a great location! Our vacation was myself and my three kids ages 23-18 I was worried that they would be bored with just hanging on the beach but we were close to many entertaining things. Sanibel was just a short drive, great fishing charters just minutes away. The Condo was furnished with everything you needed, clean and at the end of Estero where it was quiet. Thank you, Richard we hope to be back soon.

Awesome !
David T – VV135 / GV494 – Oct 2019 – 5 Stars
Weather was great, location was great and overall experience was awesome just what our spirit needed on this vacation . We usually do different location every year , but we may of found our return location. We rented 135 and 494 both worth it and enjoyed very much.

Eine traumhafte Zeit verbracht (Spent a wonderful time)
Helmut K (from Germany) – VV131 – Oct2018 – 5 stars
Die Ferienwohnung war super. Ruhig, sauber sehr geräumig und ein traumhafter Ausblick auf das Meer. Es hat alles gestimmt. Auch die Ausstattung von Verbrauchsmitteln in Wohnung war reichlich. Wir kommen gerne wieder.
The apartment was great. Quiet, clean very spacious and a fantastic view of the sea. Everything was right. Also the equipment of consumables in apartment was plentiful. We will gladly come again. 

Amazing First Family Vacation!
Riley P – GV899 – Dec2016 – 5 Stars
The condo was perfect. You know how you judge and purchase based on pictures and reviews? Trust the pictures Richard and Denise have on this listing! The condo was everything and more. Just as beautiful as the pictures! The moment you walk in, you look down the hallway and are greeted by the ocean. We brought our 3 year old daughter and wanted to stay somewhere we’d be able to enjoy ourselves after she went to bed. This was a total win. We spent every night on the lanai overlooking the ocean – we had a better view of every sunset than any restaurant could offer! As far as the upkeep of the place, it was immaculate. Washer, dryer and dish washer were all seemingly brand new and were all so great to have – made our stay so great. My husband and I stayed in the bedroom with the balcony and it was paradise to wake up to the ocean sounds every morning – we could see the beach from our bed. With a 3 year old, it was so nice to be steps from the beach – we could easily run back up to the condo if we needed something (or for potty breaks!). Target and Publix a quick 10 minute drive away! I will add that before we arrived, Richard and Denise were so responsive with any question I had – they even ordered bed rails for our daughter since she isn’t used to sleeping on a regular bed! I can’t say enough positive things about our stay, and I’m already planning our next stay! Thank you Richard and Denise!

ABSOLUTELY PERFECT
Dan K – GV899 – Jan2019 – 5 Stars
This property is a perfect 10 stars. Fabulous and wonderful. Not one negative to point to note.

Gateway Villas 899 outstanding
Luke D – GV899 – June2019 – 5 Stars
The entire experience with the owner Richard was easy from start to finish. The unit itself had everything we could need for a great week and then some! We will definitely be back and certainly stay in this unit again. Very clean, very beautiful and memorable.

Great spot!
Heather M – VV135 – Dec2019 -5 Stars
Ideal location right on the beach. Quiet area. Owner is organized and efficient. Great to rent from. We loved it!!

Great vacation
James R – VV135 – July2019 – 5 Star
Wonderful condo at north end of Fort Myers Beach. Pleasant walk along beach to Times Square for restaurants and other shopping. Beach was fantastic and generally only used by guests at Vacation Villas, so most days we had beach to ourselves. The outdoor bbq was a big plus. Richard was very friendly and helpful!

Very nice and new condo with a great view
Christian G (from Switzerland) – GV899 – Aug 2016 – 4 Star
We spend 8 days at the condo and enjoyed very well. Everything was clean and working. We will recommend this condo to our friends. Chris from Switzerland

Awesome Stay
David S – GV899 – Oct 2018 – 5 Star
One the best condos in the 18 years we have becoming to Fort Myers Beach. Great location.

Beautiful and comfortable, with a great view!!
Priscilla W – GV899 – Jun2018 – 5 Star
We loved our stay! Great views, lots of room, comfortable beds, and all the little things that just made it that much easier… storage containers, garbage bags, hand soap, laundry, lots of towels, as well as lots of pots and pans, and dishes!! Perfect location!…close to the square and dining, and easy access on/off the bridge. And did I mention CLEAN?!! So appreciative for this condo…staying here made our visit to Florida that much better!!

Great location!
Tammy G – VV131 – Nov2017 – 4 Star
The condo is exactly as advertised. If you are looking for a condo that sits right on the beach, where you can spend the day soaking up the sun on a quiet beach and then walk to town for dinner and drinks of an evening, you will not be disappointed! There is also a large complex a couple of doors down where you can rent beach chairs, umbrellas, wave runners, etc. The kitchen is well stocked if you prefer to stay in and cook. Two bedrooms and a pull out couch provides plenty of sleeping room for a family. You also get an unobstructed view of the sunset every day while sitting on the lanai!

Great Place and Great owners
Brian H – VV131 – Sept2019 – 5 Star
Awesome place on a quiet beach.

This place was absolutely perfect!!
Julie M – VV131 – May 2018 – 5 Star
We loved that it was at the end of the beach and so quiet— yet only a short walk or trolley ride to Times Square. The owners were so accommodating and we are already planning our trip back next year.

Plan to return to this great condo
Melissa T – GV494 – Oct2018 – 5 Star
Great condo. As described. Very clean and had nice beach chairs. Beach was awesome and close to pier. This was 3rd time renting from Richard & Denise. We plan to return next year. Thanks for sharing your condo with us!

Very clean! Great location!
Tom K – GV494 – Apr2018 – 5 Star
This unit was in the perfect location, very clean, and the whole condominium and grounds are very well taken care of. The family had a great time and will be back again.
