Ready for a wonderful FLORIDA FAMILY FUN VACATION on FORT MYERS BEACH!!! While our island may look different as Fort Myers Beach rebuilds from Hurricane Ian, we can assure you that all of our homes have been approved and inspected to meet your family's needs. We are Fort Myers Beach Strong and will be better than ever!

This lovely, two-bedroom plus den/three-bathroom, air-conditioned Executive Vacation Condo at the prestigious Waterside gated community on beautiful Estero Bay can be your dream island vacation headquarters on Fort Myers Beach. Located on Bay Beach Lane at the quiet, residential southern end of the island, Waterside is a short walk to your private beach access on 7 miles of the white sand and blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

Enter the doorway of this spacious, 1,654 square foot vacation home on the 5th floor and step into comfortable elegance. The space opens up to the Living Area with beautiful views from the huge picture window and expansive glass doors - a panoramic view of the island, from the Gulf waters to Estero Bay. The entire home is styled in an eclectic mix to suit the Florida lifestyle. Surrounded by windows and bathed in sunlight, the living room features comfortable couches and chairs. There's a large TV so you can watch your favorite show or a movie. There's also free Internet throughout the condo - the perfect way to research the activities and destinations you want to visit while you're here, email your family and friends, or make dinner reservations at one of our popular restaurants on the water.

Through the sliding glass doors awaits your glimpse of paradise - a huge screened in lanai with breathtaking panoramic views of the Bay, Waterside's water feature, a spring pond and all the way to the Gulf - a place where you will no doubt spend many relaxing hours dining or reading a book while you take in the sea air. The fully equipped kitchen is beautifully planned out with modern appliances, custom cabinetry and granite countertops to make meal prep a pleasure. The breakfast bar is the place to serve up a snack or chat with friends while you cook. Perfect spot for that first cup of coffee while making plans for the day's activities. For entertaining, there's a dining area with a table for six in the open concept floor plan.

Every aspect of this vacation condo was designed for easy vacation living. Linen closets hold freshly laundered bed and bath linens that will be waiting for you. There's a laundry room with full sized washer and dryer. No visiting the laundromat during your vacation!

The Master Bedroom has a King-sized Bed, its own TV and its own access to the lanai. A true Master Retreat, the room includes a huge, custom designed, walk in closet and an En Suite Master Bath that is truly delightful. The Master Bath has double sinks with an expansive vanity, a soaking tub and separate shower. The Guest Bedroom, at the other end of the condo, is beautifully decorated and features a Queen-sized Bed and its own TV. Directly next door is the Guest Bath with a Tub/Shower combo. Then there's a large Den, separated by double doors from the Living Area, and featuring a large screen TV, a comfortable recliner and a sleeper sofa. The Den has its own Full Bath, perfect for guests staying overnight on the sleeper sofa.

There is a STRICT no smoking, no pets policy which has been implemented for the health and comfort of all guests and the owner.

Waterside offers the best in amenities - you'll enjoy a large heated resort sized pool that sits right on the Bay, walking trails along the Bay, private fishing dock on the Bay, private beach access, tennis courts, beautifully manicured grounds, a guarded gated entrance, a secured lobby with building elevators, and ample on site parking.

As special as the Waterside complex is, you'll want to venture out and explore the Fort Myers Beach area - Lovers Key State Park where you can hike along the wetland trails, bike among the mangroves and canoe and kayak along estuaries. Travel to the north end of the island to Old San Carlos Boulevard with its restaurants and bars and Bayside Park. Within walking distance is Santini Marina Plaza with great shopping and dining options. (Santini Plaza scheduled to reopen January 2025.) The south bridge offers easy access off island to Bonita Springs and Naples.
