Estero Island Beach Club
A beachfront condo base on Fort Myers Beach's seven-mile island
A resort in Fort Myers Beach
Estero Island Beach Club sits directly on the sand at 2580 Estero Blvd, on the seven-mile island of Fort Myers Beach, Florida. It's a condominium-style resort: two buildings of 24 units each, all privately owned, rented out as one- and two-bedroom units with full kitchens. The setup suits travellers who want a self-catering base rather than a full-service hotel. There's a beachfront pool, an adjoining whirlpool, and outdoor grills, plus a trolley stop directly in front of the building for getting around the island.
Who it's a good fit for
A low-key, condo-style beach stay with full kitchens and direct sand access, not a full-service hotel.
Best for
- families wanting self-catering space
- beachgoers who want the sand at the door
- travellers using the island trolley
- longer stays needing a full kitchen
Less suited to
- guests wanting hotel-style daily service
- travellers without a plan for meals
Directly on the beach
The property fronts a wide stretch of Fort Myers Beach sand, with the pool deck looking straight out over it. Guests step from the building onto the beach without crossing a road, and the adjoining whirlpool sits alongside the pool.
Condo-style units
Two buildings hold 24 units each, all privately owned. Every unit comes with a living room, dining room, and full kitchen, so the feel is closer to a rented apartment than a hotel room. One- and two-bedroom layouts are available.
Pool and whirlpool
The beachfront pool faces the open beach rather than a courtyard, and a whirlpool sits next to it. Outdoor grills are available for guest use at any time, which pairs well with the in-unit kitchens for self-catering stays.
Getting around the island
A trolley stop sits directly in front of the building, and the Fort Myers Beach pier, with its restaurants and shops, is about a 20-minute walk or a short ride away. Bay Oaks Recreational Center is across the street.
