My wife and I have stayed all up and down the gulf coast from Ana Maria Island to Marco Island. We have stayed in the family popular areas of Fort Myers, Siesta Key and others. Casey Key is like nothing else we have experience. It was peaceful and quiet. We were steps from our own private beach (no long walks with wagons needed) with very comfortable beach chairs. We met many other couples that stayed at the resort next to us and had many enjoyable conversations relaxing over coffee in the morning on the patio or under the pavilion watching the gorgeous sunsets. If you like to walk the beach, it's endless in one direction, and in the other the North Jetty park where you can grab a cold beer and watch the people fish from the rock wall or rent a kayak/paddleboard. There is a concession stand at the Nokomis public beach that serves beer and drinks. There are many places to go have a nice dinner, Mama Leone's is a great Italian place, and Pelican Alley is a short 8 minute walk from the resort. Pelican Alley has the best seafood ceviche and fish dinner specials while you sit on the water watching the boats go by. If you like driving by massive beach front home, you can drive north on Casey Key Rd up to the Casey Key Fish House, an outdoor tiki bar that is great for drinks, people watching and fun times. If you are looking for tons of things to do, this is not your place. If you want to disappear and relax with your spouse or partner and like to take adventures it is perfect. We drove the hour to Fort Myers to watch the Twins play the Pirates and stopped in Venice for shopping on the way back. We rented a one bedroom which for us is all we need. We had a plumbing issue and when they could not fix it right away, they moved us to another unit, which to us was no big deal. Great vacation spot, we will be back to this beach in the future.
