About this Property

Discover the effortless beauty of coastal living in this direct Gulf-front 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence, perfectly positioned on the elevated first floor — offering an exceptional balance of privacy, security, and breathtaking panoramic views while remaining just steps from the sand. From the moment you arrive, the Gulf becomes the backdrop to everyday life. Morning coffee is accompanied by the soothing rhythm of waves, salty coastal breezes, and endless horizon views stretching toward Sanibel and Captiva. Evenings deliver the iconic Fort Myers Beach sunsets — vibrant skies reflecting across the water just beyond your door. The thoughtfully designed layout offers comfortable living spaces, spacious bedrooms with private baths, and an open gathering area ideal for relaxing after sun-filled beach days. The elevated position provides additional peace of mind while still allowing effortless access to the shoreline. Designed for both personal enjoyment and investment performance, this hotel-condo residence permits short-term rentals with a 3-day minimum and offers onsite management services, creating a truly turnkey ownership experience with strong income potential and minimal owner involvement. Prior to Hurricane Ian, the property generated approximately $80,000 in annual rental income, demonstrating its proven earning capability. With beachfront inventory continuing to tighten and redevelopment transforming Fort Myers Beach, opportunities to secure Gulf-front ownership at this price point are becoming increasingly rare. This is the lifestyle everyone comes to the island for. This is more than a property — it’s an opportunity.
