Area Activities:
Welcome to Fort Myers Beach! There are multiple state parks nearby that are waiting for your adventures. Jump on the trolley to take you south to the secluded Lover's Key State Park or go north to Bowditch Point Park. The Fish Tale Marina offers boat rentals and dockage for those wanting to get out on the water. Travel around the island in style in a rented Moke or golf cart. Trolley service is also available from Estero Boulevard to the Times Square area, the central hub of Fort Myers Beach. Several restaurants, shops, and bars have come back since the hurricane. If a day trip is what you are looking for check out the Key West Express for an unforgettable trip to Key West. Don’t forget to see Sanibel Lighthouse which is less than 15 miles away! Please note that the area is currently rebuilding after Hurricane Ian. Despite the changes, the island continues to get better and better, inviting you to bask in the sun, sand, and amazing sunsets once again. As local restaurants continue to reopen, you'll have lots of opportunities for entertainment and dining experiences. We're excited to welcome you back.

The house was wonderful, right down the street from the beach - we had dinner in the gazebo and watched the sunset one night! We were very happy with our stay even though it was a short weekend trip - would definitely recommend staying here!

Very misleading description. Beach is 2 blocks away and there is nothing private about it. Light was hanging out of ceiling and exposed duct work in bedroom

Little disappointed in the bed situation, definitely not 2 queen bedroom, one bed was a full size mattress on too small of a frame. Be prepared to take everything from toilet paper to salt and pepper. Using VRBO in Michigan is far different than the south or maybe just using a property management company is different was not expected .

The house was clean and well maintained. The distance to the beach was perfect and the cabana on the beach was a nice bonus. The only reason i gave 4 stars is because the bathroom in the master was so tiny and you had barely room to turn around. We are a family of 6 foot and above. But otherwise great property. The screened in porch was great.
