Two full kitchens, not one big one.
Two families can cook at the same time without negotiating counter space, and each side has its own dishwasher, ice maker, cookware, and dining table.
6 bedrooms · sleeps 12
Big groups on Fort Myers Beach usually end up choosing between a house with enough beds and a house with enough room. Docked at Dakota is both: two mirrored 3-bedroom homes side by side, booked as one 6-bedroom stay for up to 12 guests.
Bedroom count is the easy thing to filter on, but it is rarely what makes or breaks a big group trip. What usually goes wrong is everyone sharing one kitchen at breakfast, one living room in the evening, and one washing machine on a beach week.
Two families can cook at the same time without negotiating counter space, and each side has its own dishwasher, ice maker, cookware, and dining table.
The kids can have a film on one side while the adults sit up on the other. Everyone still ends up round the pool during the day.
Two per side, so the morning queue before a beach day never gets to twelve people deep.
Sandy towels and wet swimsuits on a seven-night stay add up fast, and one machine between twelve people does not keep up.
The two sides are identical, so the whole-house total is simply everything below, doubled.
| Room | Sunset | Sunrise | Whole house |
|---|---|---|---|
| King bedroom | 1 | 1 | 2 king beds |
| Queen bedroom | 1 | 1 | 2 queen beds |
| Twin bunk room | 1 | 1 | 4 twin beds |
| Sofa bed | 1 | 1 | 2 sleeper sofas |
| Bathrooms | 2 | 2 | 4 bathrooms |
| Parking spaces | 2 | 2 | 4 spaces |
This is the detail large groups ask about most. The heated pool sits beside the house and is shared between the two units — so when your group takes both sides, nobody else is using it. Beach Access #16 is about a two-minute walk down Dakota Ave, and beach chairs, a cooler, and a cart are already at the house.

We had an amazing stay and couldn't recommend this place more. The layout was perfect, especially for a larger group—having separate spaces while still being together made everything so comfortable. The heated pool and patio area were a huge highlight and quickly became our favorite spot to relax. The walk to the beach was quick and easy, and the location itself was ideal—quiet and peaceful, yet close enough to restaurants, shops, and nightlife when we wanted to go out. The home was clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described. We would absolutely stay here again and would highly recommend it to families or groups looking for a great beach getaway!
Perfect for our families. My sister and I decided to rent the whole house. My family was on the one side and her family on the other. It worked out great, as we were together but also had enough space on our own. We enjoyed the short walk to the beach and had the best time relaxing by the heated pool. The location is great. It's quiet and peaceful but when we needed restaurants and nightlife it's so close to downtown and Santini Plaza!! It was perfect. We can't wait to come again.
We really enjoyed our stay here. It was great for our family and the two separate spaces worked perfectly for our big group. We really loved the heated pool and patio space and the quick walk to the ocean! Highly recommend!
