Your own private paradise. 155 5 star reviews. No clean, pet fees.


Your own private tropical paradise right in the middle of everything… Total Privacy, Clothing optional… No cleaning or pet fees…
5 Years of “ Booked Solid”, half of our guests return for another "Bungalow Experience". Recent guests here for their 7th Bungalow Experience... Thank you!
Be sure to read our 155 Five Star guest reviews...Wow!
Great wedding/Anniversary gift!

Travelers who cancel at least 60 days before check-in will get back 100% of the amount they've paid. If they cancel after that point, they will not get a refund.

Duncan's Tropical Beach Bungalow is one of a kind in Southwest Florida. Perfect for a honeymoon, anniversary, or, romantic getaway. Complete privacy...Clothing Optional...The ' Bungalow ' has the feel of the islands with solid yellow pine and Mexican tile floors, high endj West Indies style furnishings, Florida shutters, crown molding in every room, gourmet kitchen...even an outdoor shower adjacent to the master bath for a unique shower under the stars.

French doors open onto a literal 'jungle' of palms (over 170) and bananas, two sandy beaches bordering the pool. Wriggle your feet in the sand, take a dip in the oversize solar heated pool, or, take a nap . The vegetation is so dense, you can skinny dip in complete privacy. You would never guess you were surrounded by civilization.

Everyone without exception has loved the Bungalow...close to everything. Please read our 155 Five Star Reviews
The Bungalow is WI-FI equipped; stay connected … private office for remote work .
We welcome furry 4 legged creatures and the 'jungle' is completely fenced so they can run free. We simply ask that you behave as responsible pet owners...

Located in the historic McGregor Blvd. district of Fort Myers, Duncan's Tropical Beach Bungalow is conveniently located to our famous beaches, Fort Myers Beach and Sanibel/Captiva Islands, about 20-25 minutes; Regional SW Int'l airport is 25 minutes away.
We opened our 'paradise retreat' to guests in 2008. One half of our guests have returned 2 and three times...One couple recently returned for their 7th visit...pretty much says it all!

We realize that our prices are substantially below market for similar properties, (if you could find one) ...we also suspect that once you experience our lifestyle, you will be back!
IN AN EFFORT TO KEEP RATES AS LOW AS POSSIBLE, GUESTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ELECTRIC THEY CONSUME. Let the “Fuelish Ones” do the heavy lifting…
Cancellation Policy: Cancellations prior to 60days, full refund.
your host, duncan

A nice couple's getaway!
We had a great time spending the week at the bungalow! The backyard is beautiful and very private. The pool is great and lots of places to sit and enjoy the outdoors. Even in the August heat, we spent a lot of time outside. The house is very comfortable. As hurricane Idalia formed in the gulf and moved north, Duncan and his daughter communicated with us, letting us know the hurricane's path and if we needed to be concerned or not. We felt very well taken care of, especially for those days as the hurricane formed and moved past the area (fortunately far to the west). Duncan is a great communicator, proactively reaching out and quickly answering all questions. We highly recommend the bungalow for a couple's getaway!

Not Paradise
It started bad right off the get go. Neighbors life on top of each other. Booming LOUD music started at 10am and got louder as the day goes. We’re forced inside before dark. Next two days were the same. Chickens on the other side. Allen was quick to try and help but the police came to the door. Next day music neighbors shot fireworks at us and the Raines down on us in the pool. We had reservations for two weeks but day three we left. Allen got us a refund but then accused us of destroying the house and claiming our dog saturated his carpet. He even threatened us that he would make sure we would never rent again anywhere. Don’t go here. It’s not Paradise at all. Worse vacation EVER!

Cozy Bungalow
The Bungalow is very cozy and comfy inside and very beautiful outside. We stayed for six weeks and were disappointed we had to leave as well as our dog who was in heaven as she had free access to the backyard. Any maintenance problems were addressed immediately by Duncan. Also the place was very convenient to a number of good restaurants. We will miss Duncan!

Private Get-Away!
We stayed for a week at Duncan's bungalow with our dog and all three of us very much enjoyed our stay. The backyard oasis is the high point of the home as we felt as if we were the only people in the area. The neighborhood is quiet, clean, and safe and there are plenty of stores and restaurants to choose from for meals. The drive to Sanibel was easy meaning we had a daily choice between a private pool and a world-class beach. We hope to stay here again in the future although generally, it's definitely a trip you'll need to plan in advance - the place is literally booked solid halfway through the summer! Thanks, Duncan!

Short but wonderful
My wife & I are from Cleveland ohio. First time at the bungalow. It was breathtaking once we stepped inside for just how nicely decorated and clean it was. So comfortable we were saddened to leave. The pool was bigger than most and temp was just right. All the trees and the hut by the pool made complete privacy along with the landscape and Sandy areas to compliment. We met Duncan whom I enjoyed sharing stories together and was a pleasure meeting him. If you want a little slice of heaven, then stay at the bungalow for it is better than described. We will be back !!
