- Fort Myers Beach is actually Estero Island, a seven mile island that is not attached to Fort Myers City. Powder white sand beaches span the Gulf of Mexico shore. There is a free public boat ramp just south of the island on Lovers Key. Restaurants and shops dot both sides of Estero Boulevard. There are 2 large supermarkets, a Publix and a Topps on the island. Just northwest of Estero Island are Sanibel and Captiva Islands. A half hour drive south takes you to Naples for elegant dining and lavish shopping. The largest mall in the US and several factory outlets are within a half hour drive.As a friend recently told me,"Why go anywhere else? Estero Island has it all: dining, boating, beach walks and shopping!" See our virtual tour for a 360 degree tour of the home and the beach!

Map & Owner's Profile
Beautiful Pool Home with Dock - 200 Yards from Beach
Year Purchased: 1994
Why the Owner Chose Private Homes, South Island
We, originally, shared a family condo in Bonita Springs and drove to the beach from there. We thought "Why drive, let's go to the best beach in the world!" We built our home as a future retirement residence. We decided to rent it when we realized that we could rent it year-round when we were not vacationing. We love it there and hope you will as well.
The Unique Benefits at this House
We enjoy walking on the beach and boating on the Gulf of Mexico. We can walk to all sorts of dining and entertainment. If we don't want to walk, there's a trolley stop right at the end of our street which runs the distance of the entire island into Fort Myersand Bonita Springs.
Enjoy current movies while dining on a delicious snack and a beverage.
Many shops and restaurants are here. There is a hardware store,a drugstore and a post office. Fish Tale Marina is located here.
Entertainment every night in the lounge and great dining and beach watching at the open air Pincher's Crab Shack.
A great salad bar accompanies your dinner of steak, fish, pork or chicken.
