Relaxed Island Living - Steps to the Sand | Updated Bungalow | Beach Access, Bikes & Kayaks
STR #22-0628
The best Fort Myers Beach vacations are often the simplest ones—wake up, grab a cup of coffee, walk to the beach, and let the day unfold from there.
Tucked into a quiet residential neighborhood just south of mid-island, this charming beach bungalow puts the Gulf of Mexico and miles of white-sand shoreline just a short stroll from your front door. Whether you're planning a family beach getaway, a couples retreat, or a long-awaited escape from everyday life, you'll find everything you need to settle into island time.
Spend your mornings collecting shells along the shoreline, biking through the neighborhood, or launching a kayak to explore Southwest Florida's coastal waters. Return home for lunch on the screened lanai, then head back out for another afternoon in the sun. As evening arrives, gather with family and friends to grill dinner, share stories from the day, and watch the island settle into another beautiful Florida night.
Designed to comfortably accommodate up to 6 guests, this freshly updated bungalow offers over 700 square feet of bright, comfortable living space with an easy indoor-outdoor flow that perfectly complements the laid-back Fort Myers Beach lifestyle.
Inside you'll enjoy:
• Open-concept living and kitchen area with sliding glass doors opening to the screened lanai
• Comfortable living room with modular sectional seating, perfect for relaxing after a day at the beach; the sectional can also accommodate additional sleeping guests
• Streaming entertainment with ROKU and Hulu Live TV
• Beautifully updated kitchen featuring a full-size refrigerator, stove, microwave, dishwasher, cookware, dinnerware, serving pieces, and a selection of small kitchen appliances, along with convenient counter seating
• Two guest bedrooms, each furnished with a comfortable queen bed and freshly prepared linens
• Full bathroom with combination bathtub and shower
• Wall air conditioning units throughout the home
• Complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi
• Bed linens, bath towels, beach towels, and kitchen towels provided
The screened lanai quickly becomes a favorite gathering spot. Furnished with comfortable seating, outdoor dining, a streaming television, and a self-service gas grill, it's the perfect place to start your morning or unwind after a day of beach adventures. A full-size washer and dryer are also located here for your convenience.
To help you make the most of your stay, the owners have provided:
• Beach gear
• One double kayak and one single kayak
• Four complimentary bicycles (two adult and two youth-sized)
• Covered parking and a spacious gravel driveway
Public Beach Access #14 is located just over a block away, making spontaneous beach days effortless. Walk over for a morning jog along the shoreline, an afternoon swim in the Gulf, or an evening sunset that reminds you why Fort Myers Beach remains one of Southwest Florida's most beloved destinations.
When you're ready to explore beyond the beach, you'll find restaurants, waterfront dining, shopping, and entertainment conveniently nearby. The island Publix grocery store is less than a mile away, making it easy to stock up for your stay.
Fort Myers Beach also serves as an excellent home base for exploring Southwest Florida. Head south to Lovers Key State Park, Bonita Springs, Naples, and Marco Island, or venture north toward Sanibel and Captiva Islands. Spend an evening discovering the restaurants, live music, and nightlife of Downtown Fort Myers' River District, catch a spring training game, enjoy a round of golf, browse the shops at Coconut Point or Miromar Outlets, or take a day trip aboard the Key West Express.
No matter how you choose to spend your time, you'll quickly discover why visitors return to Fort Myers Beach year after year.
We can't wait to welcome you to paradise.

The house was in a nice quiet neighborhood about 300 steps from the beach. We really enjoyed our stay. There were comfortable beach chairs to use and plenty of beach towels. The back porch was great for eating meals. I would definitely return.

Hi Amy - thank you for the 5 star rating. We're happy you enjoyed your stay & everything provided. The owner's have provided a lovely space for guests to enjoy; making for a relaxing & easy vacation. We appreciate the feedback & look forward to your next visit!
Nice property and amenities, clean, good staff experience.
This was a nice property, pretty much exactly as listed. Great amenities, all new appliances and interior, bicycles, kayaks, all the beach gear you would need (and a good beach wagon to roll it in,) great kitchen utensils (also everything most folks would need.) Had a small issue that required staff communication. They were quick to respond, professional, helpful, efficient. The property has a great screened in porch, just in front of a tree-lined canal with some wildlife. Pretty nice. The only down side was a noisy pool motor and A/C next door, which dampened the quiet we had hoped for. Definitely way better than noisy neighbors in the pool or loud music (had none of that.) Great neighborhood otherwise, very close to the beach.

Quiet Island Getaway
I was looking for a decent place to get away and this place worked great for the price. I travel frequently and I have stayed in expensive 5-start resorts and 1-star dumps. This place is somewhere in the middle of those. Everything was clean and tidy, and I had no issues making myself at home. I was able to use the dishes, silverware and appliances without worry (clean and fresh). I also did a couple loads of laundry without issue. One bed was too soft for me, but the other bed was perfect. The television worked fine, and the internet was quick enough to work remote and have video conferences.
Each morning I walked 3-4 miles on the beach to get my sweat on (August). The public beach access is about a half a city block from the house and was super easy to find.
I purchased my groceries at the Publix grocery store which was about a half mile away. That allowed me to cook breakfast or lunch and save my eating out for a local establishment. I had a couple great meals on the island and all the people were awesome.
I had rented a vehicle and there was a nice driveway with a roof to protect my vehicle and keep it a little cooler. Some locations are within walking distance of the house, but the north end (busy tourist area) would require a bike (there are a couple on the porch) or an Uber/Lyft.
I really enjoyed sitting in the screened in porch late in the evening as it was super quiet except for the crickets and fish jumping in the canal right behind the house.
I would stay here again!
