Map & Owner's Profile
Beach Front Condo on Fort Myers Beach, Florida with Free Wifi
Year Purchased: 2000
Why the Owner Chose Estero Beach & Tennis Club
This area of Southwest Florida has abundant wildlife and unspoiled beaches. Our beach-front is habitat for nesting turtles, birds, and other wildlife. The State of Florida has declared the beach area in front, one of 17 Critical Wildlife Areas (CWA), located in the state. The Audubon Society has declared our beach-front as “Little Estero Island”. Cars are not allowed to drive on the beach and all boat traffic must stay offshore at least 500 feet.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
The shelling here is world-class. Since the ocean floor of the Gulf is gradually sloping, shells wash ashore with each tidal change. You will find many hand-made shell treasures in our vacation home made by Elise, an avid conchologist (collector of shells). There are a diverse array of mollusks, bivalve, and gastropods, for the avid conchologist. In addition, there are many books to help you identify shells and how to clean and preserve them. Take a walk along our beach and you may be able to find your own “diamond in the rough”.
Owner's Map of Estero Beach & Tennis Club
My wife and I love our Fort Myers Beach vacation home and welcome you to share it. The abundant wildlife, climate, the Gulf of Mexico, superb eateries, and the friendly people, make this area of Southwest Florida a vacation paradise. We began coming to the area over 30 years ago. Before buying this vacation home, we visited several of the islands in the Caribbean. Our last trip in 2000, to British Tortola convinced us to invest our money in our vacation home. Come and explore this area and I am sure you will agree with us. Warmest regards, Wayne and Elise Longino

We so enjoyed our week in this great condo that has all the conveniences of home - wifi, really nice workable kitchen, comfy bed and clean, plus more. The sunsets are the best, along with the beach that is on the quiet end of the island. We have stayed at Estero Beach & Tennis Club before but the condo did not have a kitchen, bath or bed that was as nice as this one - we highly recommend this unit, you won't be disappointed.

We stayed the first week of April and had a great time! This condo has all of the comforts and amenities of home. We did not rent a car and found plenty to do around the area. Be sure to head across the street to the marina and try their grouper sandwiches and tacos. The dolphin tour was fun, too! Beautiful sunsets and we made sure we were back on the balcony for each one! Wayne was readily available when I had questions and very helpful. This is a couple that ensures you are going to get the most out of your vacation. Much appreciated and looking forward to going back in April 2012. Thanks again! Marianne and Greg
Owner response:We encourage guests to save the money for a car rental. The trolley stop is in front of the complex and will take you the full length of the island. Thank you for your kind words and you are always welcome here. Best regards, Wayne and Elise

My husband and I stayed here the first week of May 2011 and thoroughly enjoyed this condo. You can see the water from all the windows - including the bedroom. It's very open - we loved it. The deck is a great size. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was also nice. It was decorated very nicely and was a pleasure to come home to at the end of our day. The pool was also great - just a few steps away. The beach chairs provided were very comfortable. Everything was there that you would need for the beach. My husband enjoyed the golf course that's basically across the street. It's a great place to stay - I'm sure we'll be back. We would defintely recommend this condo.
Owner response:Thank you for reviewing the property.

Grossartige Wohnung in traumhafter Lage

Review Submitted: 10/04/10
Fast am Ende der Beach-Siedlung, im ruhigeren Teil von Fort Myers Beach, fanden wir das entsprechende Haus. Mit den perfekten Angaben des Vermieters kamen wir sehr schnell zurecht. Die Eingangstür ließ sich nur mit dem angegebenen Code öffnen und die Appatementtür war ebenfalls mit einem Code gesichert. Alle Vermieterangaben entsprachen exakt der Wahrheit. Wichtig zu wissen, eigentlich kann man zu jeder Uhrzeit anreisen, durch die Codeeingaben kommt man, auch ohne fremde Hilfe zurecht. Wenn man die Tür des Appartements öffnet, wird man sofort äußerst angenehm überrascht: Vom Balkon kann man das nahegelegene Meer sehen, eine kleine, grüne, vorgelagerte Lagune erfreut den Blick zusätzlich. Eigentlich wie im Paradies! Im Appartement ist alles, wie vorher beschrieben, vorhanden. Sämtliche, nur denkbare elektronische Geräte sind anschlußbereit vorhanden. Nicht unerwähnt kann der wunderbar, große LCD-Fernsehapparat bleiben, der eigentlich im ganzen Appartement zu sehen ist. Man sieht, das Appartement ist nicht nur von einer Gesellschaft zur Vermietung bereitgestellt, sondern von einem privaten Vermieter liebevoll hergerichtet und entsprechend dekoriert. Alles ist im Überfluss vorhanden, in der Küche fehlt nichts (alle Geräte, Flaschenöffner, Dosenkühler, Salatsieb, kaffeefilter, massenweise Verlängerungskabel, Fernglas, Hurrican-Notlampe/Notradio, Teelichter, unendlich viele Handtücher, Wasserspielzeug für Kinder und Strandstühle, usw. und so fort). Eine Spülmaschine, ein rießiger Kühl/Gefrierschrank und ein perfekt funktionierender Elektroherd mit Microwelle und Dunstabzugshaube sind vorhanden. Alles sehr sauber.Internet kein Problem, WLAN und LAN ging nach Eingabe des Codes sofort und lief während des Aufenthalts einwandfrei (kostenlos). Auch die amerikanischen Telefonanrufe klappten auf Anhieb, kostenlos vom Appartement. Das Appartement ist für 2 Personen ideal, notfall könnten auch noch 2 Kinder mit übernachten, im äußersten Notfall wären auch 3 erwachsene Personen denkbar, wobei die 3. Person auf einem ausklappbaren, jedoch recht bequemen Sofa schlafen könnte. Im Basement des Hauses waren öffentliche Waschmaschinen/Trockner.Der Pool ist gross mit vielen Liegen und eine rießen große Grasfläche. Alles in allem haben wir unsere Auswahl als sehr gut bezeichnet und man kann das Appartement ohne Zweifel für andere Urlauber weiter empfehlen.
Owner response:Here is the translation: The condo is located at the quiet end of the beach. The description was very precise so we easily found the entrance as well as the condo. Everything is secured with entry codes. After we entered the door of the condo we were pleasantly surprised: we could see the beach and the lagoon from the balcony – almost like in paradise. Everything was as described and the condo is fully equipped with huge flat screen TV, binoculars, cooler, umbrellas, toaster, can opener, coffee filter, cleaning equipment, candles, towels, toys for the beach ,etc. You immediately realize, the condo was not just provided by an association but owned by someone who takes great care of it. Also available: dishwasher, huge fridge and freezer, stove and microwave – everything was extremely clean. Internet worked great (included). Also, local phone calls were included. Ocean is about 80 meters away and high of the balcony (3rd floor) was just right. The condo works perfect for 2 adults but as there is a couch you could also take 2 children. Washer and Dryer are available downstairs and are affordable. We enjoyed the pool which was empty when we were there. There are plenty of beach chairs, surrounded by a gigantic beautiful grass area. We would definitely come here again and we would not hesitate to recommend this place. Thank you for your review.

Great communication throughout with Wayne. Condo is a great value with location on the south end of estero, nice and quiet with beach almost all to ourselves while there. Bring just food and clothes is accurate as the place is well stocked, pool is nice and close to beach. Rec. goodtime charters for the dolphin, manatee cruise as well as Fish House for good seafood, also the restaurant's outdoor deck behind holiday inn was nice with live music while watching the sunset. Condo truly faces the gulf and morning coffee on the balcony is a daily must-do. Thanks Wayne, we'll be booking with you again.

This condo has everything you need for a relaxing vacation. Just read the description and you can rest assured that it is as represented and more. The location is convenient for a day trip to Sanibel & Captiva. There are other beaches such as Barefoot Beach and Lovers Key to explore but the beach a few steps from your door has it all. We really enjoyed listening to the waves at night. It was a little piece of paradise for us.
