The property is located on a quiet residential street on the Bay side of the island. The private setting backs up to a boardwalk that meanders through a beautiful stand of Mangroves to a dock/captains walk on a canal that feeds off of the Estero Bay which leads directly out to the Gulf. From the dock you can try your hand at fishing (you must provide your own fishing gear).

Public beach access #13 is just a quarter mile walk from the property. There you will find the Gulf, where you can sun, play, swim, enjoy sunrise runs along the beach, and dazzling sunsets at night. Several beach resorts are currently offering day passes so you can spend a day or two enjoying their pools and other beachfront amenities.

Many on-island restaurants/bars have re-opened, food trucks are popping up, and the island's Publix grocery store is now open again. Although we recover a little more each and everyday, following Hurricane Ian some of the Island's services and amenities are currently limited, for the most up-to date information, please refer to https://www.visitfortmyers.com/beach-conditions & https://www.fortmyersbeach.org/whos-open-for-business/ for more information.

When you aren't enjoying the beach, you can drive south off the island to Lover's Key State Park, Bonita Springs, Naples and Marco Island; north off the island you'll find the beaches of Sanibel and Captiva Island; you'll also want to visit revitalized downtown Fort Myers - a great spot for dining and nightlife. Fort Myers is also home to multiple public golf courses and the Spring Training facilities of the Minnesota Twins and the Boston Red Sox. Nearby Coconut Point and the Miromar Outlets are great shopping and dining destinations; and we can't leave out the tony Waterside shops and 5th Avenue in Naples - fun whether you shop, eat or just look! Take a day to trip to the Florida Everglades for some alligator spotting on an exhilarating airboat ride. Southwest Florida truly does have a little something for everything!

This property is approximately 25 miles from RSW International Airport.

No smoking, including e-cigarettes, cigars, or pipes permitted anywhere on the property; this includes the apartment and screened spaces below and behind the unit.
