Santa Maria Resort - 2BR Condo - Sleeps 6

Summary:

Wake up steps from the Gulf at this bright 2-bedroom condo inside the beloved Santa Maria Resort on Estero Boulevard. Fort Myers Beach is right outside your door, with white sand, calm waves, and a laid-back island vibe that keeps guests coming back year after year. Whether you are here for the sunsets, the seafood, or simply to unwind, this condo puts you exactly where you want to be.



This comfortable 2-bedroom condo offers an open, airy layout designed for relaxed coastal living. The primary bedroom features a king bed and direct access to the bathroom, while the second bedroom provides a cozy queen sleeping space perfect for a couple or two guests. The living area flows naturally into the kitchen and dining space, giving the whole group room to spread out after a long day on the beach. Estimated at roughly 1,200 square feet, the unit balances just enough space to feel comfortable without losing that intimate vacation-home feel. A private balcony lets you sip your morning coffee with a breeze off the Gulf, and the fully equipped kitchen means you can stock up at the local market and skip a restaurant meal whenever you feel like it.



THE NEIGHBORHOOD



Santa Maria Resort sits directly on Estero Boulevard, the main artery of Fort Myers Beach, putting you within easy reach of everything the island has to offer. Times Square, the lively pedestrian hub at the north end of the island, is just a short drive or bike ride away and is packed with waterfront bars, casual seafood spots, souvenir shops, and the famous Lani Kai Island Resort where live music spills onto the street most nights. Nervous Nellie's, Snug Harbor, and Pinchers Crab Shack are local favorites for fresh grouper, shrimp, and cold drinks on the water. Lovers Key State Park is just a few miles south and is one of the most scenic stretches of protected coastline in Southwest Florida, ideal for kayaking, shelling, and spotting dolphins and manatees in the estuary.



GETTING AROUND



Southwest Florida International Airport in Fort Myers is approximately 20 to 25 miles from the resort, typically a 30 to 40 minute drive depending on traffic, and rental cars are widely available there through all major agencies. Having a car is strongly recommended on Fort Myers Beach, as the island is a long, narrow barrier island and distances between attractions can add up quickly. Rideshare services including Uber and Lyft operate in the area and are a solid option for evenings out when you would rather not drive. The immediate stretch of Estero Boulevard near the resort is walkable to several restaurants, a convenience store, and beach access points, so you can absolutely leave the car parked for stretches of your stay.
