Distinctive Beach Rentals - Fort Myers Beach, Florida

Ryan

We stayed at the Gullwing located on Fort Myers Beach in Florida. The condo was beautiful and had amazing views even though the condo is going through a renovation due to hurricane damage from Ian (2022). Everything inside the condo was brand new and clean! The pool unfortunately was not as nice due to construction debris floating around and construction noises that made it less than peaceful. I do however understand that it’s a necessary process to get everything back to where it was before the hurricane. This property is right on the beach and it was just steps to the ocean. I would highly recommend but would possibly hold off a few more months until construction at this location is complete.

From the first moment we stepped into the property, everything was simply perfect! The house was clean, bright and very comfortable.

The owners thought of every detail... from helpful local information, to amenities around the house, to perfect views - the property was amazing.

Highly recommended and can't wait to return to this property again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Reef Of Paradise Beach House. The house was spotless on our arrival. The staff at Distinctive Beach Rentals contacted us on the first day we arrived to make sure everything was to our satisfaction and even left us a welcome gift! The house itself was beautiful with contemporary furnishings. The beds were very comfortable. It is only a house away from the grocery store and right across the street from the beach. The backyard is a vacation oasis with a nice pool that changes colors at night. Plenty of seating in the sun or out of the sun. We highly recommend staying here and the staff at Distinctive Beach Rentals could not be nicer!

Stayed at 18388 Cutlass Drive was an incredible home for a dream vacation! Distinctive Beach Rentals handle all the details and you get to enjoy your wonderful vacation.

The home is close to all of the wonderful things to do within 1 mile of this home. We watched the dolphins swim in the canal beside the pool while we swam.

I called Distinctive Beach Rental and they came right away to address my questions and made sure we had everything that we needed!! You can count on Distinctive Beach Rentals to ensure your vacation is idealic!!!

This was a horrible experience. Agency didn't supply code for elevator, wrong code for front door, no sheets, towels or pillows. Everytime I turned on the stove the kitchen lights would flicker. Elevator was broken for four days and then eight days. Had to move out of there without an elevator (64 steps up and 64 steps down). All of this and Distinctive states they do not give compensation as they are not responsible for the elevator. Totally poor customer service.

This was a deceptive advertising scam. Arriving at Fort Myers Beach on the coast was like entering a horror or war movie, the streets, houses and buildings are still totally devastated by the hurricane of September 2023.
The hurricane covered the area 8 meters high with water.
There is no inhabited house, all the buildings closed, all the first floors of houses and buildings are being rebuilt, there is no commercial place for many kilometers where you can buy a bottle of water.
The only half-rebuilt building is the GullWing Beach resort, some apartments with balconies covered with wood, broken glass, patched structure, lobby under repair, etc.
The surroundings full of cranes and people working which gave us a terrible feeling of insecurity.
We wanted a summer atmosphere and we found the majority of the sector under reconstruction.
In the building there were a couple of apartments occupied because there were 2 families, one in the pool that was recently fixed (because they had told us that the pool was under repair) and the other came from the beach walking.
The issue is that we booked according to what the internet shows, but we were never warned about the true situation of the spa, 4 women arrived at an abandoned place and without any spa structure and security, it was a ghost place.
I consider it deceitful and unethical to rent a place in these conditions, even more knowing that we come from 8000 km away.

These people are absolute CROOKS! I listed my house with them as an owner. I had 4 different contacts in 4 weeks. The Company is now V-Trips Only one account manager would call me or email me back. It was terrible service. I cancelled my account and moved it to another company that's now great (Roeslen Vacations) and V-Trips/Distinctive kept $1,500 out of my account for cancelation after they violated the contract. I pleaded my case with multiple contact and was totally ignored. They flat out STOLE $1,500 from me. Totally unbelievable that they are in business. I will now be going to the Better Business Bureau.
