TOWN OF FORT MYERS BEACH REGISTRATION NUMBER - 19-0158

Carlos Pointe Beach Club is one of the most desirable destinations in Southwest Florida. Located directly on the Gulf of Mexico. Call or email for discounted rates.

The condo is decorated in a comfortable island motif. There is a complete kitchen, a TV in each bedroom, cable, in unit Wi-Fi, and stereo in the living room, which ensures you will not miss the comforts of home.

Just below your gulf facing lanai are miles of sugar white beach. While enjoying the world class shelling along the beach, be sure to keep an eye out for diving pelicans, manatees, and dolphins which will be hunting the fish rich waters.

It’s just a short walk over the drawbridge spanning Big Carlos Pass, there you’ll find yourself at the entrance to Lover’s Key State Park. The Travel Channel has rated the state park beach as one of Florida’s Top Ten Beaches.

Whether at the state park or on our gigantic private beach out front, this end of the island provides lots of good surf fishing. If you are so inclined, nightly meals of fresh snook, trout, redfish, whiting, pompano, and mackerel are entirely possible. To prepare your catch, there is a private grill patio at the south end of the building just around the corner from our private beachside pool, recreation room and Sunset Patio. There are also many local restaurants that will prepare your catch, should you choose to dine out.

There is a stop for the Island Trolley right next to our free parking lot. It is just a short ride to Times Square at the north end of the island. There you will find a more active nightlife scene including dozens of shops, open air restaurants, bars, street performers, live entertainment, a public beach, as well as, the famous Fort Myers Beach Pier.

We have a king sized bed in the master bedroom, two twin beds in the second bedroom, and a pullout bed in the sofa. We provide linens, towels, beach chairs, beach towels, and a beach cooler which can be iced down with ice from the ice maker in the refrigerator.

Sliding glass doors will take you out to the lanai from the living room, and from the master bedroom. Enjoy the quiet breeze on the lanai as you drink your morning coffee or evening cocktail.

Smoking and pets are prohibited. This is one of the finest units in the complex. You won’t be disappointed!

Easy getaway

Bill was easy to communicate with. The condo is outdated and needs some TLC, but was inexpensive and easy to get around to activities. Excellent pool and sun deck. Beach was not our favorite, but we are from north FL where we have stunningly beautiful beaches. Overall a great value getaway.

Peaceful Vacation

Location on south end of Fort Myers is one of the most peaceful vacation spots we have ever visited. Shelling, large beach, and laid back place that makes you feel like it is a private resort where all amenities are offered. The owners are caring and kind and willing to help in any way. We love this place and have visited more than once. It is close to Orlando, The Keys, The Everglades and almost Paradise.

Just what we needed

We enjoyed our stay at this location. We felt like we had our own private beach as there were only a hand full of families also on the beach. Close to shopping and restaurants but not too close. Communication with owner was timely and smooth. Others have mentioned the walk to the water was a treck, but I would say it was well worth it. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Dolphins everyday with stingrays and shells on the beach or in shallow water. I would recommend and we plan to come again!

Quiet, relaxing end of Fort Myers!

Well stocked kitchen! Washer and dryer in the unit. 4-5 beach towels, several beach chairs and one small hand-held igloo cooler available in the unit. Easy elevator access. White, fine sand beach. Beautiful view of the beach and ocean from your lanai. Would stay here again!

Great unit

The unit is exactly as advertised and the hosts were responsive before and during the stay. The only real issue we had with the property was noise – The condo managers run leaf blowers for hours and other maintenance equipment basically every day, starting early. There is also a construction project on the street the property is on that runs 6 days a week during all daylight hours. This is supposed to be finished by the end of 2021, but check before you book if the noise is a concern. The property's by the pool, so you also hear pool noise while the pool is open (which is only until dusk.) The other con of the property is the distance to water is relatively long, and the fact that there aren't any waves at the beach – because of the position of the channel there's effectively no surf, which means you don't "hear" the ocean. This is minor, but worth noting. The pros of course are the view, the well-stocked (with dishes, etc.) kitchen, and speedy Internet access (except the range isn't perfect on the lanai, though it does still work.) There are also smart TVs in each room so you can find plenty of entertainment. The air conditioning and ceiling fans also help make sure you're always comfortable. The unit was also quite clean when we arrived.

Beautiful Area of Florida

This vacation rental is convenient to dining, entertainment, and relaxing by the water. The hosts provided detailed information, beach chairs with umbrellas, fishing rods, and a fully equipped and comfortable place to stay. The area is beautiful and away from the crowds. If you are looking for a week or weekend of paradise, then you will find it here. Dolphins, sea birds, and shells are calling us to return! :D

Relaxing

We had a wonderful time at this condo. The beach was not crowded, very clean and so much wild life! We saw manager, dolphins, starfish, crabs, many birds, amazing! The Condo was well kept & pleasant. The only thing I can complain about was the rowdy crowds at the pool which we could see and hear from our lanai. One guy passed out in the chair and was left, he finally got up way pass dusk! Over all it was just what we needed.

Lots of beach and shells.

Really enjoyed our stay at Carlos Point Unit #215. We were surprised how wide the sand area was, a good 5-6 minute walk to get to the water. Current was too fast along the beach to venture into the water over knee deep at this southern end of the island. Travelled 6 miles to the north island beaches to enjoy the surf. Can't really walk to anything close. But if you are looking for an affordable condo on a quiet Gulf front beach this is the place for you!

Nice, quiet, clean condo located on the beach!

We enjoyed the location of this condo. It was close to shopping, restaurants and several other things to do. The condo was clean, supplied with everything you could possibly need including beach chairs and beach towels. The walk is about 5 or so minutes from the room. The owners were beyond nice and very easy to work with. If you are looking for a quiet, beach that isn't crowded this is for you.

Great Location, Quiet and Very Comfortable

The location was great, the sunset views from the screened in patio were outstanding!! The pool was below the condo and the beach was steps away from the pool The owner "Bill" was easy to work with and very helpful. The condo had all the comforts of home, including TV's and stocked kitchen. We will be back in the spring if it's available.

Spectacular views from the lani! The beach was absolutely gorgeous....quiet no big crowds so it felt private. The water is very clear, perfect for snorkeling.We saw manatees, Dolphins, many varieties of birds, starfish, horseshoe crabs and so many seashells. A must see is Lovers Key State Park, Barefoot Beach and The Edison Ford homes and gardens. The owners are very easy to work with and gave some great suggestions on what to see & do. Already want to go back!

Why they chose this property

We bought our first unit at Carlos Pointe in 2010. We had a chance to add to the portfolio in 2015. So, we added this unit.

What makes this property unique

As a bonus for nature lovers, for a few months each spring and summer, our beach becomes an extension of the Little Estero Island Critical Wildlife Area. There are 18 active Critical Wildlife Areas in all of Florida. Our beach serves as the southern border of Little Estero CWA, the only Critical Wildlife Area located in Lee County.

Roger Tory Peterson, famed ornithologist and author of the 'First Modern Field Guide To Birding' visited Little Estero Island and declared it 'possibly the best place in the world to photograph shorebirds'.

During the spring and summer months, our beach becomes prime nesting territory for sea turtles and a few of the estimated 150 species of birds that visit our island annually. We consider it a great privilege to serve as host for these animals during nesting season. While they raise their young each summer, we'll reserve some of our huge beach as a sanctuary. This provides outstanding observation opportunities right outside our back door. During this period, we allow the native beach vegetation to regrow to provide cover. Some of our beach does get restricted from human activity during this period. Don't worry though, the birds and turtles are very willing to compromise on beach space. So, you will still have plenty of beach to use! As soon as the baby birds are grown and done nesting, we'll remove the restricted areas and resume grooming operations. So, if you want to enjoy the birds, it's best to book between April and August!
