Gulf Breeze Paradise with Penthouse View

Located at Estero Beach and Tennis Club, on Fort Myers Beach South Island, just a few steps away from putting your toes in the sand along the Gulf of Mexico. Enjoy spectacular sunrises and sunsets from the beach, or the penthouse balcony which has a view of the Gulf of Mexico and the inland waterway. Pet Friendly (one pet per unit). Across the street, several restaurants and shops are making their way back after Hurricane Ian Sep2022. There is a boat charter marina across the street. Short walk to a pharmacy, gas station/convenience store; grocery 2-1/2 miles up the road. Catch the TrolLee that will take you to several stops along the way up to Fort Myers Beach Time Square.
Can it get any better than this?
(Please Note - the association requires 7 day minimum bookings. If your vacation plans don't encompass staying for the entire 7 days, let's see if we can block the calendar for the shortage and enable you to still book your vacation in paradise)

beyond expectations

This one bedroom, studio type concept was much more comfortable than I expected it to be. Great views from the balcony, clean kitchen and bathroom made this a very comfortable and cozy get away. Having the pool steps from the elevator lobby is really convenient. The pool area is very nice and the large, well maintained grounds are as good as I have ever seen in Southwest Florida, plenty of lounge chairs as well. This is a great place to stay for a singles getaway or couple with or without child

Not disappointed

We have stayed at EBTC many, many times. This is the first time staying there with a dog. It worked out well. The condo met our needs and we were all very comfortable. A beautiful view especially while seated at a sunset facing “bar” set up on the balcony. Thank you.

Wonderful

The studio was clean and comfortable, many linens and pillows available. The king SZ bed was very comfortable. Kitchen is stocked well. Beautiful view of the ocean and city. Beach is private and at the time we stayed was not overly busy. There was still construction going on on the grounds from damage post IAN but that did not bother us. Everyone was friendly and respectable construction workers and staff, other tenants. Julie the owner has amazing communication she is very quick to get back to you and gives you all the information needed before arriving--we had no issues with anything. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Peaceful Visit

The manager answers questions and responds very quickly. She also keeps you updated on the island and sends pictures. Great manager. My plan was to have a peaceful stay on the beach, and this property provided that. If you want to spend a lot of time indoors, the furniture is not comfortable. The bed has a big hump in the middle, but it is okay. The view is amazing. We had everything we needed to cook. During Spring Break time, it's best to only go south to restaurants. Plan accordingly for traffic to stand still. There are many things still not open, but we had everything we needed. So if there is something particular you are looking for, investigate. This condo is located in the middle so either way is a little drive. Also it is across the street from the Marina so you will here a beeping sound every time a boat is put up or taken down. Other than the couch, we had a very nice stay and were pleased overall.

Great location

This place was very good but not great but if you over look the fact that it needs a little updating the location of this place can’t be beat, some of the instructions inside the condo were a little confusing but the owner was great and answered my e-mail quickly. This place is still worth every penny and its in a great location, we definitely enjoyed our stay and will highly recommend it.

Wonderful Location

My husband and I visited this property in July. It has a great balcony view of the beach. It is also in the perfect location and very close to some cute shops and restaurants. The beaches were clean and there was plenty of room to spread out and be socially distanced due to the virus. We will definitely be booking this location again!

Exactly as described - great view of gulf and bay

We really enjoyed EBT and the top floor/corner view from Bill's place is fantastic! We enjoyed watching the gulf -- birds and dolphins and the sunset view was amazing. The view included the Estero Bay and so many palm trees. The heated pool is large with many lounge chairs. The building is right on the beach so it's a short walk out to the sand. The south end of the island is more quiet with restaurants and grocery store nearby. Times Square is easy to get to for more restaurants and fun. The condo is modest and shows that it's been well-used. We would have like to have better pots and pans as we cooked many nights during our stay. On the whole - a great stay!

The location is PERFECT

The condo is on the top floor, with a corner view, allowing you to see the ocean as well as the bay and lights of Ft Myers Beach. Directly across the street are several good restaurants, no need to drive. The pool area was very nice, and we could bring our little dog down to enjoy the day just outside the pool fence. Condo is a bit outdated, but we enjoyed everything so much, we are booked for next year. The proximity to the ocean is a big selling point. Loved it.

Best review!!!

What we would love to say about this place in on word is AMAZING!!!! The view, the condo, the people, and everything around fort Myers was amazing!!!!! Only the only down falls we had was the time the pool closed!!!! It was at 730!!!! Oh and I wished they had a bathroom closed to the pool with a small child it’s hard to get them out of the pool and all the way back up to the room, and we wished the laundry room had a change machine! It only takes quarters which is hard to find when your doing laundry at night. BUT WE LOVE THE CONDO, BILL, and the security guard was SUPER SUPER NICE!!!! we can’t wait to plan our next vacation and stay again! We also told everyone we know if they want a great area and great place to stay we know of a wonderful place!!!!! Thanks again!!!
