GULF & ESTERO BAY VIEWS | 9TH FLOOR | JETTED TUB | KING BED | KEYLESS ENTRY | LOVERS KEY RESORT
Watch the boats travel through Big Carlos Pass out to open water. Follow the dolphins as they play in Estero Bay below. Take in the Gulf shimmering in the distance as the sun goes down. This rare 9th floor unit at Lovers Key Resort captures all three simultaneously — the Gulf of Mexico, Big Carlos Pass, and Estero Bay — from a floor-to-ceiling window wall and an open balcony that make every moment feel like front-row seating to Southwest Florida's most spectacular waterway views.
At nearly 800 sq ft with a dual-access bathroom connecting the bedroom and living area, a jetted corner tub, an oversized walk-in shower, a king bed, a queen sleeper sofa, keyless contactless check-in, and an eating bar alongside the full kitchen — this is one of the most thoughtfully configured units in the resort.
Please note: this condo is privately owned and not managed by Sunstream Hotels & Resorts, the resort's on-site management company.
THE SPACE
The full window wall in the main living area frames a triple-view panorama — the Gulf, Big Carlos Pass, and Estero Bay — that shifts and evolves throughout the day and reaches its most spectacular at sunset, when the sky above the water transforms into something genuinely memorable.
The open-concept living, dining, and kitchen space is generously proportioned and well-laid-out for up to 4 guests. The living area features a queen sleeper sofa, a TV with DirecTV, and a dining table with seating for 4. An eating bar with two barstools separates the living area from the full kitchen — refrigerator/freezer, oven, dishwasher, and microwave, with cookware, dinnerware, and basic small appliances all included.
Sliding glass doors open from the living area onto the open balcony, where a table and seating for 2 put you right in the center of that extraordinary waterway view — sunrise, sunset, and everything in between.
The spacious bedroom features a king-size bed and a TV with DirecTV, with a direct connection to the dual-access bathroom.
The bathroom is both beautifully appointed and practically designed — a jetted corner tub, an oversized walk-in shower, an expanded sink vanity with generous counter space, and a private toilet area with a pocket door, all accessible from both the bedroom and the main living area. For a group of 4, this layout is a genuine daily convenience that sets this unit apart from those with single-access bathrooms.

Had A Great Stay!
We had a great stay at this resort. We found the unit very clean and well stocked. The bed was extremely comfortable. But, the best thing about this unit was the view! The floor to ceiling windows overlooking the water were great. We also enjoyed the pool.
Flippers, the restaurant next door, has excellent food as well.

Mark - thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear that you had a great stay at Lovers Key Resort. It's wonderful to know that you found your unit clean and well-stocked, and enjoyed the comfort of the bed. The views from the floor-to-ceiling windows are a show-stopper and we're delighted you appreciated them. We hope to welcome you back for another memorable stay in the future!
This 1-bedroom unit was perfect for my husband and I. The view of Estero Bay was beautiful. Although the weather was a bit chilly for a few days, we were happy to be able to still use the heated pool and hot tub. We enjoyed using the well-equipped fitness center. The location was great and central to meet friends and family living in the area. The only negative was the very slow traffic on Ft. Myers Beach to get to Cape Coral. Having Flipper’s on the Bay restaurant was a nice option. We enjoyed our stay!

Thank you for your wonderful review. We’re so glad to hear the unit was a perfect fit for you and that you enjoyed the beautiful views of Estero Bay, as well as the heated pool, hot tub, and fitness center.
It’s great to know the location worked well for connecting with friends and family, and that you were able to enjoy dining at Flipper’s on the Bay.
We understand the traffic can be slow at times — especially during peak spring break season — as the area sees a significant increase in visitors. We appreciate your patience with that and are glad it didn’t take away from your overall experience.
Thank you again for your kind words, and we’d love to welcome you back for another stay!

Excellent experience, the place was beautiful and clean with an amazing view! Highly recommend
Great views from 9th floor. Condo was clean. Great restaurant next door. However, the toilet did not work properly. Three times the maintenance guy came by. Finally he said to use dawn detergent and the plunger whenever we have a problem. Unsatisfactory!

Thank yo for your review. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the views and having Flippers Restaurant next door. We'd like to clarify that we did provide maintenance to the toilet and do what was possible while you were in the condo. However, it needed more than we could provide while you were staying there as we did not want to disrupt your stay. The toilet issue has now been addressed for future guests and we apologize for the inconvenience.

Gorgeous view!!
We LOVED the view from the 9th floor, especially the (few) boats that were out in early February! The size and layout of the condo were perfect for 2 people, and the common areas were always spotless. The king bed and the couch were both comfortable.
We enjoyed having a dining table + stools at the counter, and the furnishings were fine. My only recommendation would be to have 6 plates, a serving bowl, and A NEW COFFEEMAKER. The circa 1990 one is very slow, and the warming plate is coated/does not keep coffee hot.
Checkout directions said to take/toss anything we had left, including spices, coffee filters, ETC. To be honest, I would prefer that such non-food items could be left for the next guests.
Overall, a very nice condo!!
I can't say enough at how perfect the sunsets are from this unit!

Walking in to the condo first item you see is a black stained carpet, stains are 80% of the entry way as well in though the rooms, questions begin as to how clean this unit will be. More time in condo finds it to be clean and liveable.Shower door needs replacing as one door constantly falls off track when moved, notice toliet door frame starting to rot do to water leaking from shower door.Matress and sheets have see their time and need to be replaced as well as restocking kitchen dishes and tools.Overall unit is in a good location but needs to be renovated as it is showing aged.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We appreciate you noting that the unit was clean, livable, and in a good location.
We would like to clarify that we did not hear from you at any point during your stay regarding these concerns. Had we been notified, we would have been more than happy to come by to look at the shower door and bathroom door right away, as we always aim to address maintenance issues promptly when guests let us know. We will be sure to take a look at these concerns now that we are aware.
Regarding the rug at the entryway, it has been professionally cleaned multiple times. Unfortunately, the entrance door rubs against that area of the rug each time it is opened, which makes it challenging to keep that section looking pristine. That said, the rest of the carpet throughout the condo is in very good condition.
Wishing you all the best in your future travels.

We loved the property and our stay! The only recommendation I would have is both the bedroom mattress and the sofa bed mattress need to be replaced!!! Otherwise, everything else was great!
loved the condo... but it was undergoing repairs post-hurricane. Hot tub was closed and there was frequent noise from repair workers on scaffolding outside the unit.

Thank you Stephen for the opportunity to host you and we appreciate your feedback. We hope to host you again in the future. For the sake of others who may read your feedback about the building repairs, please be reminded that we made sure to post the following disclosure in the property listing as well as the other 9 units we manage at the resort, promplty after we were informed by the resort management this past November: The Lovers Key building exterior repainting and balcony project is projected to occur 11/30/23-2/28/24. This project will involve workers on site, swing stations and contractor noise between 9 a.m.-5 p.m. This is an estimated completion time frame provided by the Lovers Association Management. Factors outside of the general contractor's control, to include inclement weather may alter the timing and completion of the project. The Lovers Key Resort, amenities, pool and restaurant will remain open during the exterior repainting and balcony project.
While Fort Myers Beach continues to rebuild from the impacts of Hurricane Ian and though our island paradise may look a bit different than it once did, the sun continues to shine each day and brings with it spectacular sunsets to savor and new memories to be made. Ongoing renovations are taking place throughout Fort Myers Beach and many local shops and restaurants continue to reopen and welcome your support with a visit to Fort Myers Beach and Lovers Key Resort this Fall & Winter of 2024!
The grounds were very secluded which was nice and quiet but more diatant from othee things which was no problem to drive. Easy access to lovers key beach which was our favorite. Wonderful views!! watched dolphins every morning and the boats coming and goingSuggest getting new beds and pillows. We even attempted the couch bed. Both were uncomfortable. TV needs to be bigger especially in living room. Everything else was fine.

Thank you for your feedback Erin! We’re so glad you enjoyed the peaceful, secluded setting, the beautiful views, and the easy access to Lovers Key Beach — it really is a special spot for dolphin watching and relaxing mornings. We appreciate your suggestions regarding the beds, pillows, and TV, however it's important to understand that bed firmness is a matter of preference and it's impossible to please everyone. Thank you again for staying with us, and we wish you all the best in your future travels!
Unfortunately there was an ongoing construction project taking place at the building that resulted in a bit of noise, dust, etc. We were informed about it at booking so it was not a surprise. Some residents are friendlier than others. We'd definitely return.

We enjoyed the location immensely - the view all around was fantastic. They were doing construction in the area, but it had to be done, because I know it was hit hard in that area by "Ian". The only thing I disliked was the fact that the beautiful pool was closed most of the time we were there. The sign said it was closed by the Health Department. We never got to use it. It was a very clean and beautiful condo!

Noisy vacation
The only problem with the condo was the constant noise from construction during the week that my husband and I were there. There should have been full disclosure on that issue which there wasn’t or we would have chosen a different place. We talked to a few couples who were staying there and they had been told that the construction would be complete by last December so they were equally upset over this disturbance.

Hi Lisa - we’re sorry to hear you missed the disclosure at the beginning of the property description stating that “the Lovers Key building exterior repainting and balcony project is scheduled to occur 11/30/23 - 3/32/24” to include workers onsite, swing stations & contractor noise between 9am - 5pm. December 2023 was not a projected completion date. We appreciate the 5 stars & are glad you enjoyed your stay otherwise!
This unit was very clean and quiet with amazing views of the waterways. I was always delighted every morning to watch the dolphins jump while drinking my coffee. The grounds were clean and not crowded in the common areas. The down side to this unit is the construction currently going on, as the balcony was taped off and unusable, and the workers camped out on the balcony one afternoon aside from the noise during the day. The price we paid reflected this, it just would have been nice to know. Secondly, the location is traffic unfriendly if heading either to Bonita Springs or Fort Myers Beach. We had to cancel plans due to a 2 hour drive for 15 miles to the south and over an hour drive for a 7.5 mile drive to the north. Flippers restaurant onsite was available then for dinner take out and was delicious.

Thank you, Jessica, for your stay and support of the resort and our area recovery since the hurricane. It was a pleasure hosting you and we appreciate your feedback. As regards the building balconies restoration, we posted the following detailed notice at the top of property description this past November when the resort management company informed the property owners of the balcony restoration. We're sorry you didn't notice it when making your booking as it was our intention to inform our rental guests ahead of their booking & arrival. We appreciate your acknowledgement of the significantly reduced rental rate considering the balcony restoration. The estimated completion date is the end of March. We welcome you back and hope to host you again. Please note the following balcony work disclosure we published at the top of the property description this past November.
"The Lovers Key building exterior repainting and balcony project is projected to occur 11/30/23-2/28/24. This project will involve workers on site, swing stations and contractor noise between 9 a.m.-5 p.m. This is an estimated completion time frame provided by the Lovers Association Management.

The Lovers Key Resort, amenities, pool and restaurant will remain open during the exterior repainting and balcony project".
Vertical blinds are broken, blocking the “beautiful view”. Shower stall was off the track, making for a dangerous grab bar. Heating/cooling unit is frustrating. Even while following directions carefully, the temperature dropped to 64 degrees at night, twice. Insufficient silverware, toilet paper, dishwasher pods. No deck furniture. We stayed in one full day waiting for the maintenance service, which never showed up. Whose at fault VRBO, itrip, or HomeAway.com? I challenge you to post this review.
