Why the Owner Chose Bella Lago at Bay Beach
We had come to Fort Myers Beach to vacation several times. We love to walk the beautiful beach along the Gulf of Mexico. Our condo is located on the quiet south end of the island where the beach is more "natural." One of our favorite activities is to rent a pontoon boat and channel cruise in Estero Bay. There is an abundance of water birds, osprey,egrets and blue heron. We always see dolphin, and occasionally manatee and sting rays.
The Unique Benefits at this Condominium
Our new luxury condo has everything that you will need for a perfect vacation! Amenities include: resort-size pool and whirlpool spa, state-of-the-art fitness center, community room with sun deck (gas grill for guests' use), tennis courts, private fishing pier, and private beach access to the seven miles of beautiful white beach. Adjoining our complex is an executive golf course. So pack light and enjoy "Almost Paradise!"
Rent a pontoon boat to view the wildlife in Esstero Bay: dolphin, manatees, birds (egrets, gulls, ibis), spotted stingrays.

My family had a great time and the owners thought of everything you need and even more..

The Condo is absolutely beautiful. Let us first say, that our girls are ages 4 (twins) and 8. Our oldest daughter is handicapped, so the private secure parking garage, elevator, and wide hallways, both outside and inside of the condo were exceptionally accomodating. The photo's and write up of the condo and Bella Lago don't do it justice. The Condo is decorated beautifully in quality tropical furniture. The Master bed is very comfortable, the quadruple master shower with oversized spray head and hand held shower are luxurious to say the least. The oversized triple windows in the master with the double sliding doors to the lanai allow plenty of light and also plenty of privacy with the wnidow treatments. The wall of glass with sliding doors in the oversized family room has a great view of the city off in the distance and the private pond with water fountain below. Oh and don't forget the ceiling fans in every room and the lanai and the special lighting in the condo is fantastic for night time. You really feel like you are in a first class suite. The kitchen is as good and clean as our home kitchen, quality appliances and a great coffe maker and toaster. The building and grounds at Bella Lago is probably the nicest on Ft Myers Beach. Lots of tropical plants that are well groomed, tons of palm trees, a very very nice swimming pool with nice cast aluminum tables and chairs and plenty of chase lounges. The bathrooms at the pool are secured with locks as is the gated pool entrance, so you don't have locals or people from other properties coming over to use the facilities. In fact where Bella Lago is located and the landscaping gives this place a secluded hideaway feel. The beach across the way through the private beach access is nice, but two blocks up is the Holiday Inn beach which is very nice and has a Open Air Tropical Pinchers restaurant and bar on the beach, two chairs and an umbrella rental was only $20. The Beach two more blocks up at the Outrigger is even nicer and it features a cozy tropical beachfront bar. You also have to try the Fish House restaurant just up the street (north) behind the CVS and small strip mall. It is the ideal beach bum restaurant and cocktail bar overlooking a marina. The secluded private feeling of Bella Lago was so relaxing and the perfect location for us, the south end away from the extreme touristy end of Ft Myers Beach made for the perfect relaxing vacation. You will enjoy this condo.

Our family stayed it this condo for 10 days in June. The condo is beautiful. The owners have done a great job of providing everything you need. We really enjoyed being at the quiet end of Ft. Myers. Our girls enjoyed the pool which they had to themselves most of the time. We enjoyed evening walks on the beach. Thanks for providing us with a wonderful place to stay. It is "Almost Paradise".
