About this property

Best view on the beach with DIRECT Gulf views - 1004C - Totally Renovated



Our 10th floor, gulf-front condominium (Building C) – with spectacular water views from every window - is situated on a white sand beach on the Gulf of Mexico. The waves are gentle, and the gulf-floor slopes gently to an offshore sand bar which provides seven miles of protected beaches. Because of this, Fort Myers Beach is often called 'The World's Safest Beach'. Our children, and now our grandchildren, have spent countless hours sitting on the sandbar during low tide digging for sand dollars and starfish. Daily, we spot dolphins playing in the waters in front of our balcony.

Our condo is fully renovated! We have a spacious, walk-in shower and a new kitchen. We added 7 feet of new California Closets in the bedroom, including a built-in dresser, and replaced the bathroom closet with a new California Closet. We replaced all the flooring with beautiful Italian porcelain tile and have new window treatments. In 2019 and 2020 we replaced all the furniture. The bedroom, which is separated from the living area by a folding partition, has a king-size bed with a luxury mattress (new in 2022). The living room has a sleep sofa (queen-bed size) with an upgraded gel memory foam mattress, 55” ultra-high-definition smart TV, and DVD/CD player. Our kitchen is well equipped and stocked. The spectacular view from our balcony faces the Gulf of Mexico and Sanibel Island, and because it faces west, it’s the perfect place to sit with a glass of wine and watch the sun set. Don't be fooled by other ads that say they have a Gulf view. Ours is a direct-facing view; no craning your neck around buildings to catch a glimpse of the Gulf - take a look at our photos to see our spectacular view.

There’s an on-site heated swimming pool; four tennis courts, including 2 that can be used for pickle ball; and a shared, coin-op laundry room. There are several marinas in Fort Myers Beach, including one directly across from the Estero Beach and Tennis Club. There is a wide variety of restaurants and shops in Fort Myers Beach, which are easily accessible by public trolley, which runs the length of the seven-mile long island.

The Estero Beach and Tennis Club is situated on ten lush acres along the Gulf of Mexico. The estuary in front of our balcony is listed in the top 200 bird-watching spots in the United States and is the only estuary in the US with a flock of Roseate Spoonbills arriving daily at dawn and dusk.

We are conveniently located approximately 25 miles/35-40 minutes from Regional Southwest Airport (RSW) in Fort Myers. In addition to enjoying all that Fort Myers Beach has to offer, you are within 30-40 minutes of beautiful Naples and Sanibel/Captiva Islands. You will never run out of things to do in Fort Myers Beach!.

Send us an email or call (301-351-7245) and we will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Best place to stay on Fort Meyers!

My mom and I had the best time at Carole’s condo! It was fully stocked with everything we could have ever needed and it was very close to the nearby restaurants that were recommended for us to try in her welcome book. I highly highly recommend Carole’s condo to anyone looking to stay in Fort Meyers!

Beautiful spot!

This is our second year staying at this property. The location, beach, and view just can’t be beat. Also, the owner is incredible to work with. We had an extended stay at the condo this time for 3 weeks, and Carole took the time to put together a list of some amazing things to do in the area she thought we may enjoy. We absolutely loved our stay - the property is truly perfect for two!

Not Central Air conditioning

The view of the beach is fantastic from the balcony. The condo is nicely redone. We enjoyed our stay however we were not aware there was not central air. It had a unit like you would have in a hotel room. We could not use the partition for privacy in the bedroom because it would block any air flow from the unit air conditioner. Lucky the weather was cool.One day the elevator got stuck and the police needed to come to help people get free.We made the best of it and still had a good time getting away from the cold.

Amazing 2 weeks

My husband and I had a great trip. We truly enjoyed our stay. Being repeat visitors to Estero Beach and Tennis Club we were saddened to see the destruction from Ian. We were even more impressed with the come back and work that is being done. Our condo was completely updated. The grounds, including the pool was beautiful. Amazing progress!! The beach and sunset were first rate!! Thank you for all the hard work.

Amazing Stay!

My wife and I came here for our anniversary, and could not have been happier with our stay. The property was incredible, with easy and convenient keyless access, lovely accommodations/interior, and as so many have already said, a balcony that gives you the most amazing views, incredible breeze, and beautiful sunsets. The location was super convenient, with walkable restaurants and shops, easy drive to the local Publix, and of course that super simple walk right outside to the beach. I also couldn't write this review without mentioning what a true pleasure it was to communicate with Carole, who was quick to answer all the questions we had and always so pleasant and informative. We will absolutely be back!

Perfect week at the beach!

My husband and I had the best time! The condo was so nice, clean, stocked with everything you need for a week. I am in my third trimester of pregnancy so it was important to have a place on the beach and a short walk and this was perfect. The view from the balcony was perfect for the times I needed to get out of the sun. Saw so many dolphins from the balcony and some manatees too. The wildlife was incredible overall. We saw so many different birds and animals. Just a tip for future travelers, the unit was a little warm when we arrived (I am having heat flashes of course during the trimester) so it does take some time to cool down, but after a few hours, the unit kept cool. We did have to keep the temperature cooler than usual but it felt comfortable! Carole was quick to respond and very helpful. Also a close walk to restaurants and shopping. We would def return! :)

We had the best stay!

We loved our stay at this property and this area of Florida so much we plan on doing it every summer from now on. It had everything we needed and then some. The beach is beautiful, the pool is clean and refreshing, the grounds are impeccable, the parking is plentiful and free, the condo is bright, clean, comfortable, and well stocked with beach and pool equipment, cooler, chairs, floaties, etc. The south end of Fort Myer’s Beach is so quiet and quant this time of year (July). The shopping center across the street has everything you need and want in walking distance. The north part of the island has more of a beach vacation vibe with lots of restaurants and shops. There was so much fun to be had on the island and in driving distance. We mini golfed, went to the movies, drove alligator alley and spent the day in Fort Lauderdale, jet skied, swam and swam some more, and ate great food! We live in Oregon but my husband is originally from New Jersey and loved the food and pizza in the area. I am originally from Illinois and enjoyed all the Midwestern folks in the area. We typically go to Hawaii or Mexico because it is closer but Florida has everything we wanted and was very affordable compared to Hawaii. The owners were so easy to communicate with and helpful and the check in and out process was a breeze! No stress. We had so much quality family time just the 4 of us and came home so relaxed. We will be back. Eventually we will need a 2 bedroom as our kids grow but this was perfect for us at their current age (8 year old twins). Thank you for a wonderful vacation.

The unit was clean and pictures posted represented it well. Only one of the two elevators worked but we never had to wait for more than a minute. The beach was quiet and the water was gentle and refreshing. No strong currents, undertows, or rough waves. Our only complaints were the pesky no seeums, with their itching bites, and the bed was not very comfortable.

As you walk into the beautifully remodeled condo, you look directly out onto the white sands of the gulf!We also enjoyed the community pool. The condo was well stocked with equipment for the beach. Although the area is still recovering from Hurricane Ian,many great restaurants are open.
