Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Golden Gate

My family met at FMB for Christmas and stayed at Andy’s house and it was just what we needed! The location is great, quick walk to the beach and restaurants and shops. The area is definitely still a mess from hurricane Ian, but places are starting to reopen and the beach is still lovely and clean. The house had everything we needed to cook meals and lots of stuff to take to the beach!

We loved the house and area, about 2 blocks from the beach. The neighborhood was quiet. We would stay here again. The house is HUGE! Plenty of beach towels, a wagon, beach chairs, and cooler were put to good use every day! Screened in back porch with table was nice for dinners. This has nothing to do with the house or host, just a heads up for others staying in this area - traffic gets very congested in the mornings and mid afternoons so allow extra time when traveling to and from the island.

Truly phenomenal location and setting on the Imperial River. The home is an oasis, featuring an exquisite pool & hot tub and a spectacular outdoor kitchen. This beautiful home sits right on the river, providing direct access to some of the best fishing spots around — we saw manatees and caught tons of fish. The spacious layout and thoughtful design made it a comfortable and inviting space for our family. Loved all the gorgeous woodwork touches, and Rodney was a great host!

This is our second year in a row staying at Bob’s home. We absolutely love the property. Close to the beach and lots of restaurants and many other things to do. The home is in great shape, very clean and all the amenities you need to enjoy the property! We will definitely book again.

Such a beautiful home with a clean, organized, and usable interior living space. The beds are comfortable and the home has everything you need (games, towels, hand soap, washer/dryer, hangers, cooking utensils, coffee maker, etc). The home is large with plenty of space for family or your fur babies-we had our two dogs and the outdoor space is large enough for walks. The pool area is spacious and peaceful. A few notes: The home has 6 exterior cameras which are not noted in the listing. One North and one South facing, two on the pool deck, and a ring camera in addition to a standard camera facing West. We never felt uncomfortable with the cameras but can understand wanting to be aware before reserving. We did not hear any of the alleged roosters or hens as some commenters below reported. So maybe they’re gone now?

Excellent stay. Well equipped, responsive hosts, so comfortable. Loved the pool area, kitchen and dining area, master bed and bath - excellent. Would highly recommend!

House set up was perfect for our family. Great space inside and outside for all of us to gather. House was nicely stocked with many extras- towels, kitchen utensils, cooking spices and coffee bar etc. House was clean and beds were comfortable. We would book again! Jeff was great to communicate with me throughout the process.

There’s really nothing else to say other than this was a perfect vacation. Our hosts were a big part of the reason why. They provided a beautiful, clean and accommodating home. Everything we needed was right there. They literally thought of everything. We were sad to leave.

The house was wonderful. Very clean, great pool, and great location. We have rented many places throughout the years and this property management company was by far the best to work with. Extremely responsive and very friendly! Jon was awesome! Even went out of his way to help my son find a baseball game on TV. Would absolutely rent from them again!

The house was fabulous and better than the photos! We had family staying at the Hyatt Regency and this was the perfect location to meet up and be close. As a family, (ages 13-47) we spent the entire day at the house and everyone agreed, it was better than the Hyatt resort! There is a Publix grocery store and several many restaurants within an 8 minute drive. Also, I swoon for the hammock between two Pine trees. If we are lucky, we will come back for another stay!

Great stay! The Heaven House is clean, comfortable and has plenty to do. The golf cart, pool table, darts and games kept everyone entertained. Community pool was a nice addition!

Our stay at this beach house was nothing short of exceptional! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how well-appointed and immaculately clean the home was. Every detail was thoughtfully curated, making it feel both luxurious and comfortable. The outdoor space was truly the highlight— a beautiful pool, relaxing spa, and a fun putting green that kept everyone entertained. Whether we were soaking up the sun by the pool or unwinding in the spa under the stars, it felt like our private oasis. The beach was just a short walk away, making it easy to enjoy the ocean whenever we wanted. Inside, the home was stylishly furnished with high-end touches and had everything we needed for a stress-free vacation. The kitchen was fully stocked, the bedrooms were cozy, and the living areas were perfect for gathering.

We enjoyed our stay, the home was easy to find, easy to access and in a great location with lots of amenities in close proximity. Fully equipped with everything we needed for our stay. Pool was lovely and the home has a great patio area for lounging on an evening. Lots of outdoor furniture to choose from. Night lights in the bathrooms and kitchen were great. Lots of equipment at the ready for use at the beach as well as bikes. Adequately equipped with towels and beach towels. Place was clean and tidy on arrival. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you Ashley

Great location, great amenities, pool was clean, kitchen was great, TV in every room

Beautiful home in peaceful neighborhood with great location! The home was very clean, had nice amenities, and we felt right at home. Loved the pool and private back yard. Dara was quick to respond to any questions and made the rental a 5 star experience.

Very welcoming neighborhood. Amazing neighbors. Amazing host. Beautiful house. Lots of toys and things for kids to play with in the pool and at the beach. Close to lots of food places. Would definitely recommend.

Wonderful house, perfect for family. Pool really convenient and heated, and the fenced backyard was really fun for the kids and our puppy. They provided plenty of beach towels, beach chairs, umbrellas, and games in the house. You don’t need anything else if going on a getaway with the family, and super closes to main grocery stores, restaurants and 5’ to the beach.

This place was immaculate!! Beautiful home and beautifully decorated. Kitchen was full of everything you might need. Loads of beach equipment for you to use, too. The two living areas are great if you have several people—-TV in one and games, etc. in the other. The pool was fabulous and a great place to relax after a day of shelling in the sun. Five stars across the board!!

Can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay at Julia's cottage. It is in a beautiful setting with huge trees, yet minutes from groceries and conveniences. Walkable neighborhood. The house is spacious and airy and impeccably clean. Very nice decor which lends to the peaceful getaway feeling. We were there for a combo of remote work and birding and nature. It was very convenient for Sanibel, Corkscrew and dinner/beach in Naples. We loved Estero and hope to return next year.

Elena’s place is just as advertised. It has everything that a family could want on a beautiful beach vacation. Comfortable beds, nice showers, tons of beach gear and toys for kids, a well appointed kitchen with lots of extras so you can whip up whatever it is you enjoy, a peaceful and quiet neighborhood, and a beautiful screened in pool that allows you to enjoy the sunshine and the warm weather without the bugs. We absolutely loved our stay and hope to return!

We will definitely be back! Beautiful place for a family to get away!

We had a wonderful family trip while staying in Shelia’s home! You cannot beat the location. We walked to dinner & breakfast each day. Tons of stuff to do in the area, clean place, & Shelia checks in often to make sure everything was great. We would love to stay again!

Beautiful house in convenient location! Neighborhood was quiet and the pool was great! Host was very responsive when we had a couple of minor issues (that were addressed immediately). We very much enjoyed our first snowbird experience!!

We had so much at this cute little place! Our kids got to see lizards on the property and we loved having our mornings out on the screened in porch! The location is close to shops and grocery stores as well as the beach and local activities. It was very clean and well kept with the absolutely gorgeous views of palm trees and tropical flowers! A great place at a great value! The host was super kind and responsive to all my messages and we look forward to booking with Carla again on the future!
