About this apartment rental
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!.

Wonderful condo well maintained by a very friendly owner. Would stay again!

This is a perfect condo for a small family! We had everything we needed, including the amazing view. Due to ongoing construction on surrounding properties, we practically had the beach to ourselves most days. Description
was spot on with the sandbar, it really was a great spot for our two daughters to safely play. The location in south FMB was fantastic for a quick trip to Bonita Springs or Naples. Communication with Carole was great, too!
We left with a heavy heart and a bag full of shells. Can't wait to come back!

We just loved the condo we stayed in at The Estero Tennis and Beach Club. It is the perfect size and had everything you needed. Loved the balcony that faced the Gulf. Seen dolphins everyday and just steps out to the beach . It was kind of secluded and peaceful in which it is what we loved most about it . I will definitely be coming back.

Condo was extremely comfortable and exceptionally equipped. It was very clean and modern. The owner explained to us about the building work so we had no problem with that at all. She was very fair. We used the trolley bus all the time to Times Square.

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.

This condo was a perfect place for a relaxing get away. The owners were wonderful to work with and we got prompt responses with questions we had. The place was newly finished & was tastefully decorated. Had all the “extras” you might need & additional info was supplied that helped navigate the area. A short walk to beach and a beautiful view of the ocean from the balcony. Must check it out!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The communication with Carole was so easy and she got back to me rather quickly. The condo was still under construction but the workers were considerate and friendly. There is alot of work still happening in the neighborhood due to hurricane, but it did not affect our stay. We saw beautiful sunsets from our balcony, lots of dolphins and walked everyday in the early morning.

Beautiful condo. It is clean and beautifully decorated. Loved the new closet space and ample number of hangers.
Also appreciated the makeup vanity in the bedroom. It was so nice to have a place with a mirror to get ready to go out to dinner with.
The view can't be beat! We really enjoyed sitting out on the balcony looking at the Gulf drinking our morning coffee or occasional evening drink while watching the sunset. Walking down to the beach directly from the condo building is just ideal. Also appreciated the beach chairs in the condo for the guests use.
We loved our meals at the local restaurants. Fort Myers is coming back from Ian, that's for sure!
Carole, the host, was so easy to work with. Very thoughtful and easy to reach. I'm sure being a host to a place during a hurricane rebuilding time isn't easy. She was simply wonderful.
We look forward to visiting again soon.

My husband and I would highly recommend staying here. The condo is beautiful and the view of the ocean from the balcony is amazing! The beach is just steps away from the elevator. Carole was excellent with any communication that was needed and check-in was as simple as putting in a code to get in the condo. There was never any problem with parking and it was close to the building. We definitely enjoyed our stay.

Property was nice and clean. A little small for 4 ppl but it worked and the condo kitchen was stocked. We did have to buy toilet paper because that was not supplied. The owners had beach umbrellas, chairs, cooler and pool toys for use which made it nice. Would definitely stay again.

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!

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.

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!

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! :)

Booking a rental online can be a bit stressful, you just never know what you're going to get , But.... from the moment we walked into this condo , we knew it was a great decision. Completely renovated , plenty of closet space and all the amenities of home. Now we walk out on the patio and there is a million dollar view. Coffee in the morning and drinks at nite. Why go anywhere else. .Oh, did I mention the sunsets..
We will be back.

It's hard to find a place with a better view than from the balcony of the condo. A perfect location to watch the sunsets unless you prefer to be on the beach only footsteps away. The condo provided everything we needed for the week and the area has a lot of excellent restaurants for dinner plans. I have stayed there twice and fully intend to head back again.

Adorable place and outstanding view. Carole was a great host and we appreciate her attention to the details during our stay. Thanks Carole!

This is the 2nd time we stayed here and it does not disappoint. Perfect for 1 or 2 people. Amazing sunsets every night and cute and efficient unit. Very short walk to the beach and several restaurants. The traffic can be challenging, but well worth the trip. We hope to return next year.

Wish we could rate 10 stars
After reading all the reviews we thought "could this place be that good? " It was ....we totally concur with others that the location can't be beat....on the quieter side of the island but good access to things. Condo is updated, fresh, and the bed is comfortable. The best part is you are so close to the water you can fall asleep to the waves. Too bad it was already heavily booked for next year. Thank you Carole and Dave !

Ocean view spectacular!
My husband, son, and I enjoyed our stay immensely!! Just opening the door and having such a great view of the ocean was breathtaking. A week went by much to quickly. I recommend anyone going to Florida should at least go a minimum of two weeks. The location to Santini Plaza was ideal. Lots of choices for food and shopping. My only suggestion would be to convert a few of the tennis courts to Pickleball courts. No one was playing tennis when we were there.
We would definitely stay here again!!

Very good good place to stay
Perfect location. Honest host. Condo equipped with everything, but wine bottle opener. It was not a problem because liquor store is across the street. To buy there - cheap. Enjoyed our stay so much. We stay again if have a chance.
