While we`re new to Airbnb, and therefore only 3 guest reviews, we`re a Premier Host on other platforms with more than 135 5-star guest reviews. Search for our website and social media pages under SouthernSerenityFMB to see all guest reviews.
The Town of Fort Myers Beach Registration Number is 19-0096, and the property is a member of both the Florida Vacation Rental Management Association and the Fort Myers Beach Chamber of Commerce.
The photos are up-to-date, taken post-Hurricane Ian as of July 10, 2024. The rebuild and remodel are fully complete. Please look us up on the web and social media under Southern Serenity FMB for links to our video and virtual tours. If considering other properties in Fort Myers Beach, verify with the host that their photos are current, as some properties are not yet rebuilt and may display pre-Ian images.
The house is a beautifully renovated, non-smoking property with five bedrooms, three and a half baths, and two kitchens. It is situated at the north end of the island, close to Times Square, the new Margaritaville Resort, and the bustling downtown and Bayside Park areas. It comfortably sleeps 12, not counting an inflatable twin mattress and a pack-n-play. Due to fire code regulations, we cannot accommodate more than 13 guests, with no exceptions.
The house comes fully equipped with towels, linens, soap, shampoo, and more.
The outdoor area is as inviting as any on the island, featuring an oversized, heated pool for your enjoyment. The pool is reputed to be the largest private pool on the island, maintained at a steady 83 degrees (though it may be warmer from May to October as we do not cool it). Beach chairs, pub tables, and an outdoor grill are also provided for your use.
Complimentary Wi-Fi is available, along with Xfinity high-definition cable offering over 140 channels, including an extra sports package. Each bedroom is fitted with a wall-mounted HD TV with cable access (four out of five bedrooms have smart TVs). Expect to find more amenities than usual for a vacation rental. We provide a pack-n-play, highchair, booster seat, two high-capacity washing machines, two dryers, hair dryers in each bathroom, and a hair straightener in one bathroom. The list of included amenities is too extensive to detail fully here.
Please note: Southern Serenity is equipped with outdoor security cameras.
This listing is for your private use of the entire house, pool, and outdoor space.
Shelley and I are accessible throughout your stay, but we`ll stay out of your hair. Don`t hesitate to call, text, or email with any questions or concerns prior to check-in or during your stay.
We have the greatest neighbors. Some of our guests come tell us they come back every years in-part because of the relationships they`ve built with the neighbors.
Fort Myers Beach, especially where we`re at on the north end of the island, is very walkable. If you stop to pick up groceries along your trip on to the island or if you have your groceries delivered, you could easily get away without renting a car or golf cart.

Note: house is five bedroom, 3.5 bath. In order to show all seven beds, Airbnb software interprets this as 7 bedrooms. In fact, the twin room has two beds; and the lowest level has a Murphy Bed.
Photos are post Hurricane Ian and current as of 7/23/2024. 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.

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).

Great outdoor patio for hanging out and large pool with lots of toys and floaties for everyone! House was equipped with everything you need and plenty of room for more than 1 family. Short walk to the beach, made this place a great house for our stay with kids!
We had a great time staying at Brad and Shelley's place. They were perfect hosts and always responded promptly to any questions we had. We were there for Thanksgiving and the extra kitchen was very much appreciated! The kitchen was very well stocked for a rental property. Lots of beach and baby equipment provided as well. The pool was great as well as the location, which was within walking distance to the beach and many bars and restaurants. The sunsets were beautiful! We would love to stay at Southern Serenity again!
This was an amazing property! Plenty of room, homey, close to beach and gorgeous back yard. The location is very close to restaurants and Publix supermarket. We hope to return!!!
The home was beautiful, spacious, and perfectly located. We couldn’t have asked for a better spring break stay. The owners answered any and all questions we had from the moment we booked until the moment we checked out. They were fantastic!!
We stayed with 12 members of our family. The house was so clean and well taken care of. Very nice having 2 kitchens and such a short walk to the beach and Times Square. The pool was so nice to come back and relax around after a day at the beach! I would highly recommend this property!
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!
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!
Stayed at this beautiful home with our children and grandchildren for spring break. They had everything we needed for the pool and beach. All the toys, chairs, umbrellas, beach carts, coolers, too much to mention. All you need for the baby of the family is there as well! Plenty of room for everyone. Any time we needed to reach out to Brad and Shelley with a question, they responded almost immediately. Close to Times Square, restaurants, bars, shopping. Great location. We hope to return to this amazing property in the future!
It was a beautiful house with all the amenities you could think of. We have stayed at several vrbo’s this was the first one that had 2 pack and plays for infants. Our whole group thought the place was amazing we will definitely be coming back. Even the neighbors were great .
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!!
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!
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!

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!
Loved this home!!!! Close to the beach and loaded with amenities. The pool was amazing, and the house was the perfect place for our big family. Brad and Shelley were easily accessible and accommodating!We would love to go back!
This house was amazing for us! So beautiful and the location is great! They have seriously thought of everything you would need!! We will definitely come back!!
Great place with plenty of room and nice pool. Close to the beach and town
Great communication with host. Easy to access the propriety. It was still under renovation when we stayed but host was clear upfront and very honest about it. Enjoy now as it is not yet too crowded in FMB

Beautiful home in an amazing location!
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the beach house in Ft. Myers. Great location in walking distance to many activities and restaurants. The house has amazing amenities that made the stay very enjoyable. Tons of space for friends and family. I would definitely rent this place again! The host was super responsive with any issues or questions.

Over all the house was very nice , we really enjoyed the pool area. Great location!
The 4th bedroom upstairs would have been a better fit for our group if it had a full-size bed instead of a pullout couch. All other bedrooms were great! We loved how we could walk to most places.
I was so excited to bring my family down to Fort Myers and this house held up to my expectations! Tons of space, it has all the amenities you'd need. The pool was incredible! Truly a great find. Shelley and Brad were in communication with me the whole time and helped make the check in process smooth. Thank you again!
