Keywords: Condominium
Our Gulf-front unit is directly on the Gulf of Mexico, with magnificent sunsets. Our recently renovated two bedroom cottage decorated condo is sparkling clean, bright, and comfortable. It’s a home, not a hotel room. Our previous guests all rave about the cleanliness and amenities provided.
Everything you need is waiting for you, just add your groceries and summer clothes. A full size washer and dryer are in the unit, and a gas grill is on the beach, ready for a sunset BBQ.
The Gulfside heated pool was just recently retiled and resurfaced and is very resortlike.
The pool area has a very tropical setting with beautiful Gulf breezes and Gulf views.
Restaurants and shopping are located within a five minute walk. A golf course is across the street. Renting a car is not always necessary, a trolley will take you the full length of the island for additional shopping, supermarket, restaurants, and “Times Square”, our small Key West like downtown area. Boat rentals are available at nearby Fish Tale Marina.
Our condo is located on the southern “quiet” end of the island. We are located directly on what is called the double beach. We have a beautiful Critical Wildlife Area/ bird sanctuary between us and the Gulf of Mexico, called Estero Beach Lagoon. This area has recently been named as one of the top 100 best birding areas in North America. Here you will see a variety of birds on a daily basis, including Heron, Egret,Pelicans, Roseate Spoonbills, Eagle, and many other shorebirds. The main beach is a short beach walk around, or across to the sandbar.
Eden House is a small friendly low rise building with only 35 units. Enjoy the inviting beachside heated pool, our warm, year round temperatures, Gulf Breezes, seven miles of white sandy beaches, and an unobstructed view of the Gulf from inside the condo. We await your visit.

Map & Owner's Profile
Gorgeous Direct Beachfront Location!
Year Purchased: 2002
Why the Owner Chose Eden House
We actually bought our condo to use for our home, not for a rental. After 8 years, we decided to purchase a 3 bedroom condo and put this condo into the rental program in Dec. 2008.
This location, at the South end of Fort Myers Beach, is known as the "quiet end of the island."
It is close to shopping, restaurants, golf, boat rentals, a branch of the post office and has
easy access on and off the beach through Bonita Springs.
It is also only 2 miles from Lovers Key State Park, one of the top 10 beaches in the US.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
The location of this condo on Estero Beach Lagoon is superb!
The birdwatching is unparalleled in this area. On a daily basis you can see a large variety of birds including Osprey, Egret, Heron, Roseate Spoonbills, Pelicans, and many other shore birds. We have a resident Eagle that has been recently spotted fishing for dinner.
The pool at Eden House was resurfaced and retiled in May, 2009, giving it a brand new appearance. New comfort height pool furniture was purchased in January, 2010.
The pool is Gulfside and has gorgeous views of palm trees swaying in the breeze and the Gulf in the background. There is always a refreshing Gulf breeze.
Owner's Map of Eden House
We are originally from Long Island, New York. Nine years ago we picked Fort Myers Beach as a vacation destination and fell in love with the island.
We loved it so much we moved down here full time!
What we love about Fort Myers Beach is #1, the weather, and
#2, the feel of living on a Caribbean island, with all of the ammenities just a few minutes away.
Living on Fort Myers Beach allows us the ability to be active outdoors all year round. We enjoy playing tennis, kayaking, fishing, boating,long walks on the beach, biking, and more.
We love the proximity to all of the great local restaurants, state parks, and cultural activities too.

Our eyes opened wide when we entered the condo. Everything was just as it had been described for the property. It's beautifully furnished and fitted and felt like a home from home. It's such a relaxing place to spend time in and we were able to sit in the lanai until late at night just enjoying the sight and sounds. We saw exceptional sunsets with sky as if on fire. We would have no hesitation in recommending this condo to anyone who wishes to have an enjoyable holiday with the benefits of seeing scores of fish leaping in the waterway, dolphins in the Gulf waters and a variety of marine birds feeding. Wish it was our property!!!
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, sightseeing, families with young children.

This rental caught my eye while browsing the many rentals available on Home Away. Upon our arrival it was everything we expected and more. The condo was beautifully decorated, very clean and well maintained. We visited surrounding beaches but thought the beach at Eden House area was the nicest and we found the best shells there. There were so many extras available for our use which was very nice not to mention the money we saved on not having to purchase the items just for vacation use. The location was perfect, close enough to everything but away from all the congestion. Shelly Sue was very kind and more than happy to assist to make the stay enjoyable. We throughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return again next year.

A hidden treasure! The Eden House is comfortable with breathtaking views of the ocean and beach. Several amenities make this the perfect get away location where you can relax, and enjoy your vacation and still feel like it is your own home. The property owner is professional and great to work. Every time I had a question or needed anything, Shelly-Sue was available to assist. We will definitely be back.

I am a traveler and i am in a hotel almost every week. When coming to Fort Myers I decided to rent this condo so my family could come along. It was the best ever!! The owners know how to take care of their guests and everything was perfect. Beach was quiet and out of the way of the huge crouds, the condo was well equipped and we felt like we were at home. Will definintely be reserving this little jewell again... Thanks!!!

We recently stayed at this beautiful cottage style condo and had one of our best vacations ever. We've rented condos before, but never had such a positive experience. From the initial emailed reply to my inquiry, Shelley-Sue answered all of our questions and was able to give us recommendations on activities, golf courses, boat rentals and restaurants. The condo was extremely clean and comfortable with very nice linens and towels. We wanted to travel light and just brought our personal items. Everything else was supplied. We were surprised to find laundry detergent, spices, beach towels, coffe and tea, beach toys and beach chairs, and many more things we've normally had to supply ourselves at other rentals. The best feature of this condo is the view! The sunsets every evening were the most beautiful we've ever seen. We sat on the lanai and watched the sunset every evening.When we left, we had a 2 day drive back home. Our security deposit check was returnedl within a day of getting home. Overall this is the most comfortable, well managed rental we have stayed in. We've already booked our vacation again for next year. How nice to have found a place to return to year after year.

My husband and I stayed in this condo from Christmas (2010) until New Year's Day (2011) and we had an excellent time. The owners were very accommodating - they even gave us a list of restaurants that would be open for dinner Christmas evening. Everything was clean, and it was furnished with everything we needed. I would definitely recommend this condo to anyone interested in staying in the Fort Myers Beach area of Florida.

My husband & I spent this past weekend (Oct 8-12) at this property and can't seem to get it out of our minds! We found it by a quick review--having no idea what to expect (we are from Fort Myers) and were thoroughly pleased. We felt like we were in another state/region. If rest and relaxation is what you seek, look no further. Everything was "in its place" as though we were at home--from laundry detergent to beach towels. We'll be back!

The condo is is just super nice. It has that home feeling. It was decorated just beautifully, I loved the pictures & art. Everything was furnished like paper towels, laundrey suppplies, every thing. I just can't say enough about the inside of the condo. The owners live close by & go to great lenghts to make your stay enjoyable. Also the security deposit was returned very quick. The security of the building with the lobby being locked at all times is also a big plus, it make a person feel safe. The water is very close & the double beach is the most beautiful I have ever seen. The pool area is very nice & you have a view of the Gulf of Mexico. I loved the fishing in the Gulf of Mexico. My wife loved the shelling. here you can find whole shells not all broken ones. It was a very good vacation & we loved the Ft. Meyers beach area. We will come back that is for sure. Thanks to the owners for makeing this vacation a great one.

~BEST KEPT SECRET~

There is only one word needed to completely describe this condo: OUTSTANDING! From the moment you enter the parking lot, you are greeted with warm coastal breezes and the soothing sounds of harmonic ocean waves. Once in the condo the warm inviting atmosphere will welcome you with its amazing "costal theme" decorations and homelike environment. The condo is in mint condition, very clean, and contains all the amenities of home, as well as being centrally located near everything that Fort Myers Beach has to offer. The Eden House has an elevator that allows easy access for families with small children and people with disabilities. The condo owners are very personable and live close by. They truly made us feel welcomed and ensured that we were comfortable during our stay. We enjoyed our time here so much that we immediately made arrangements to return here again next year. It is our feeling that the reason there are not many reviews for this condo is that people want to keep the awesomeness of this condo a secret. Oops, I guess the secret is out!!
