Wake up to salty breezes, grab the complimentary cruiser bikes for a ride to breakfast, spend the afternoon floating in the pool or paddleboarding the bay, then stroll to the Gulf for one of Fort Myers Beach's unforgettable sunsets. This charming island apartment is your invitation to slow down and savor beach life the way it was meant to be trading your schedule for flip-flops and island time at this charming beach apartment tucked away in the heart of Fort Myers Beach. This beautifully maintained coastal retreat offers the perfect blend of comfort, relaxation and classic Southwest Florida charm.



Located on the ground floor of a privately owned home (with the owners residing upstairs), this inviting getaway places you in a peaceful mid-island neighborhood—far enough from the crowds to truly unwind, yet close enough to Times Square, waterfront restaurants, live music, and island attractions whenever adventure calls.



Whether your perfect vacation includes lazy beach days, exploring on two wheels, paddleboarding the back bays, or simply relaxing poolside with your favorite drink, this cozy retreat makes it easy to embrace the Fort Myers Beach lifestyle.



Your island escape includes:

• Ground-floor 1-bedroom, 1-bath apartment with just under 600 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space

• Accommodates up to 4 guests

• Bright open-concept living area with comfortable seating and an oversized Smart TV (stream using your own accounts)

• Complimentary Wi-Fi throughout

• All bed linens, bath towels, beach towels, and kitchen towels provided

The private outdoor dining area for two is perfect for morning coffee or evening cocktails after a day at the beach. Guests also enjoy access to several shared outdoor spaces, including:

• Refreshing swimming pool

• Tropical tiki bar and lounge area

• Picnic space and gas grill

• Shared laundry facilities

• Additional outdoor seating areas

(These amenities are shared with the homeowners when they are in residence.)



To make exploring even more fun, complimentary beach gear, a paddleboard, and two cruiser bicycles are provided for your stay.



Beach days couldn't be easier -



Public beach access is just a short walk from the home via Hercules Drive or Connecticut Street. Spend your days swimming, shelling, sunbathing, or enjoying peaceful morning walks along the shoreline before ending the evening with one of Fort Myers Beach's unforgettable Gulf sunsets.



When you're ready to explore, local restaurants, waterfront bars, boat rentals, fishing charters, parasailing, kayaking, paddleboarding, jet skiing, and sunset cruises are all nearby. Hop aboard the island trolley to discover the island with ease, or take a ferry excursion to Key West for an unforgettable day trip.



Beyond the island, Lovers Key State Park, Bonita Springs, Naples, Sanibel Island, Captiva Island, and Downtown Fort Myers are all within easy driving distance, making this the perfect home base for your Southwest Florida vacation.

Darling, clean, spacious, great location!! This was my first visit to Fort Myers Beach. Not knowing where to stay, I found this opportunity. This home is located in the middle of the island which allowed for quick access to the north and south ends. Since it was Spring Break week for college students, the area was busy and I’m so glad I was where I was!
