About this property
Shores Penthouse End unit Beachfront 100% beach view from every window,sunsets,
Currently no elevator. This is 2nd floor facing beach near stairwell. Beach, Marina, Ocean, groceries. As close to the ocean as you can get. One of two units in the complex that is facing the ocean. Enjoy your island vacation in this spacious and tastefully decorated, Florida motif, direct Gulf-front, one bedroom condo. The Shores is directly across the street from Publix grocery store. It is situated directly on the Gulf of Mexico, with stunning views of Estero Bay and Sanibel Island. On the South end of the island is Santini's Plaza where there is plenty of shopping, a drug store, a book store, a hardware store, restaurants, and a marina with boat rentals. The Shores is directly across the street from Publix grocery, a Marina and a restaurant. All are located on the bay.
The condo features a large patio area with tiki huts and deck. This one bedroom condo has it all. One of the units that has direct gulf views from all rooms. You will experience a truly tropical and exotic feel with ocean views from every window,and warm ocean breezes and fragrant flowers. Direct access to the seven miles of white, pristine beach and the Gulf of Mexico and only 2 miles from the pier and 'Times Square'. The island trolley stops in front of condo for easy access to Lovers Key State Park and other island attractions. Stretching along the southwest coastline are some of Florida's best beaches that are fun for the whole family, like Fort Myers Beach on Estero Island, a 7-mile stretch of sun-washed sand. The beach has public amenities like restrooms, showers, and parking spots near the Lynn Hall Memorial Park. Since the waves are gentle and the waters are shallow, kids and adults can swim on the beach. If you are into shelling, stroll around the shoreline for opportunities to collect different types of sea treasures washed ashore by the gentle waves. At the northern tip of Estero Island is a quiet coastal escape, Bowditch Point Park. This park spans 17 acres with dual-shore access to the Gulf of Mexico and Matanzas Bay. You will find shaded picnic pavilions, barbecue grills, and outdoor showers. Take a walk through the trails that wind through the restoration preserve, a great place for bird-watching.
If you want a secluded beach experience, Lovers Key State Park is a beautiful stretch of sand surrounded by mangroves and tidal lagoons. Located south of Fort Myers Beach, Lovers Key is about a 15-minute drive via Estero Boulevard. The park has 2.5 miles of pristine beaches. You will have access to modern amenities like picnic tables, restrooms, and a short boardwalk that leads to the beach. For nature and adventure enthusiasts, the park has a launching point for kayaking through mangrove-lined waterways and tidal lagoons. You can rent paddleboards, kayaks, and canoes nearby.

The location and view from this property is perfect. We really loved our stay. It was our 3rd time staying at the Shores and would highly recommend it.
Beautiful property with views of the ocean from every window. Property was spotless with beautiful beach decor. Beach was clean and peaceful. Host was easily available if needed. Great location with a grocery store and marina right across the street. Highly recommend eating at Junkanoo which is also within walking distance.
This condo far exceeded my expectations!! The views were emmaculate, a very short walk to the water, clean condo, excellent communication with the host, Karen. It was the perfect vacation, and I cannot rave about this condo enough. My boyfriend and I cannot wait to return!
The condo view and location were perfect. It was very clean with a comfortable bed. We spent all of our time on the beach and loved lounging on the beach deck. I thought I would miss the pool, but I didn’t at all. It was very convenient having a Publix across the street. We absolutely loved dining at Doc Ford’s where the prices were reasonable and the food and drinks were excellent. I wouldn’t hesitate staying here again on our next stay.
Location was great and the property was just as described. Beautiful view from every window! The condo had everything that we needed for our stay. It was very clean and bright! Enjoyed the great views (and some dolphins) on the lanai with our coffee every morning.
A cozy relaxing flat with the perfect view of the beach and sunset. My husband and I enjoy the stay. The place was very clean and had all the facilities to make it feel like home..
What a great find, the condo was clean with a view of the gorgeous beach in every room. Online pictures don’t do it justice. The water is crystal clear, the beach is very clean and not crowded. The location is also away from the crowds. Having the Publix right across the street was a great convenience. We also had a dolphin cruise thru the recommended marina across the street as well. Would love to come back.
It’s a lovely unit with perfect views of the beach. Convenient private chairs and sand chair and umbrella for your use. Loved it was away from the congested downtown.
This condo offered the most beautiful views of the ocean - direct access! We also loved the private sitting area out front with loungers, a table and shade when needed. Karen was very helpful and responsive to any questions we had. I would stay here again! Perfect little set up for 2 people.
Just got home from a great stay with the best views and local amenities that you can get! The host cares about how your stay is and is available if you need anything! Great place to stay for two people. Everything is there that you will need! We definitely will be going back there again in the future! Thanks for a great time!
This location was private, quiet, absolutely beautiful, and welcoming all at the same time. Pure ocean views from every window. It provided everything I needed. Communication with the host was pleasant. It was a great experience and I would stay here again.
We loved staying at this condo. It was clean and perfectly decorated for our taste. Gulf views from every window were beautiful with gorgeous sunsets every night. Being able to walk to Publix was very convenient as it was directly across the street. The owner of condo was accessible to text whenever we had any questions. It was the perfect getaway. We definitely plan on coming back.
We had a wonderful stay and would absolutely return.The condo is exactly what we were hoping for on a quiet beach trip. The space is bright, clean, and comfortable, with great natural light and a relaxed coastal feel. The living area and bedroom both open to balconies with beautiful views of the beach and Gulf, which made mornings and evenings especially enjoyable. The layout worked very well for relaxing after a day outside, and everything we needed was already there.One of the highlights of the property is how peaceful it is. The beach in front of the building was never crowded, which made it easy to enjoy long walks, shell hunting, and simply sitting and watching the water. The outdoor deck areas and tiki hut are a great touch and provide nice spots to relax while still being right by the beach.The host struck the perfect balance between being available and giving guests space. Communication was clear and helpful, but never intrusive, which we really appreciated.Overall this was a quiet, comfortable place to unwind and enjoy the beach. If you’re looking for a relaxing stay with great views and easy access to the water, this is a fantastic choice.

About the host
Hosted by Don and Karen Ostendorf
One of Don's favorite pictures, just relaxing by the beach during the Christmas season with a cold drink and nice warm ocean breezes from the ocean just a few feet away. We bought this condo mainly because of the awesome views of the ocean and the wonderful sunsets, dolphins, and the nice sandy beach. We enjoy the lanai facing the beach. We can watch the boats, and just enjoy nature every day in paradise.Our kids seem to feel the same way!
Why they chose this property
We like the location as we are right across the street from Publix Grocery Store, and we like Fort Myers Beach. The 7 mile island has everything we like to enjoy. Great restaurants, shopping, walking, shelling, and a place to relax and enjoy warm weather all year round.
What makes this property unique
We have an 8 unit building so it is quiet, under the building parking, 2nd floor unit with all windows facing the beach, 2 lanai's to enjoy reading or relaxing. All the comforts of home are here and you will get the feeling that you want to stay forever.
