View was head on Gulf view. Lanai had 2 comfy chairs to watch the beach come alive in the morning and start slowing down in the evening. The pool doesn't get sun until noon but that was perfect for us to sleep in and get breakfast before heading down. Can't say enough good things about this stay. Had a AC hiccup and host was on it at 11:00pm. So nice and the amenities are awesome.

Thank you so much for the kind review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the beach view and had a chance to relax on the lanai — it really is one of the best spots to watch the beach wake up in the morning and wind down in the evening. It was truly great visiting with you during your stay. We loved hosting you and would be delighted to welcome you back anytime! 🌴☀️

About the host

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood because our family has been visiting Fort Myers Beach for over 20 years, and we fell in love with the area's beautiful beaches, stunning sunsets, and laid-back coastal lifestyle. The north end of Fort Myers Beach offers the perfect balance of relaxation and convenience. We love being directly on the beach, where we can enjoy Gulf views, dolphin sightings, shelling, and evening walks along the shore.

Another reason we love this location is that guests can easily walk to Times Square, local restaurants, shops, and entertainment while still enjoying a quieter beachfront setting. With nearby access to Sanibel Island, Captiva Island, Lovers Key, and boating adventures, there's always something to explore. After visiting for so many years, we knew this was the perfect place to own a beach getaway and share it with others.

What makes this property unique

Our beachfront condo at Gateway Villas offers the perfect combination of Gulf-front views, direct beach access, and a walkable Fort Myers Beach location. Wake up to breathtaking sunrises over Estero Bay and end your day with spectacular Gulf Coast sunsets from the beach or your private lanai.

Located on the quiet north end of Fort Myers Beach, our condo is just a short walk to Times Square, restaurants, shops, the fishing pier, and local entertainment. Guests love having the best of both worlds—a peaceful beachfront retreat that is close to everything.

Enjoy miles of white-sand beach, shelling, dolphin sightings, fishing, boating, and easy day trips to Sanibel Island, Captiva Island, Lovers Key State Park, and Key West via the nearby ferry. The heated beachfront pool provides a relaxing alternative to the beach, while the condo offers all the comforts of home.

Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a snowbird stay, or a family beach vacation, our Gulf-front condo provides an unforgettable Fort Myers Beach experience.
