When you stay at Estero Island Beach Villas 601, you can park your car and forget about it. The condo complex just steps, via a private walkway, from the sugary white sands and the Gulf of Mexico. It’s also less than a 5-minute walk to Bowditch Point Park on the northern tip of the barrier island and less than 15 minutes on foot to the restaurants and shops of Fort Myers Beach’s Times Square area.

The 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom unit has more to recommend besides its fabulous location. For starters, there’s the covered balcony overlooking the beach. Accessible via the living area and the primary bedroom, it’s furnished with a table and chairs, with a ceiling fan to keep you cool on even the hottest summer days. Start your morning sipping coffee while watching dolphins leap among the gulf’s waves; end your evening admiring the reflection of the moon in the waters. And at least once during your stay be sure to catch the sunset over the gulf; the fiery hues are a sight you’ll long remember.

Thanks to the balcony’s sliding glass doors, you can admire the view even while lounging in the living area. Decorated in shades that mimic the sand, sea, and surf outside and featuring new laminate flooring throughout, it’s a blissfully serene space to return to after a day on the go. There’s plenty of well-cushioned seating so that everyone can gather to watch a movie on the flat-screen TV, play charades, or surf the web via the free WiFi.

The dining table seats six (plus, there are two barstools), so even if you have a full house everyone can sit down to a meal together. Just behind it is the kitchen. Whether you’re hosting a holiday feast or making a midnight snack, you’ll find all the appliances, cookware, tableware, and counter space you’ll need. If you prefer to cook and dine alfresco, head down to the complex’s barbecue area, furnished with grills and tables. The salt-kissed gulf breeze is the perfect accompaniment to just about any meal.

The primary suite includes a king-size bed, a flat-panel TV, and a private bathroom with a combination shower/tub. Let the rhythm of the waves rushing onto the beach lull you to sleep, then wake the next morning to the site of the turquoise gulf waters—it sure beats waking up to an alarm clock! The 2nd bedroom, furnished with a pair of full beds, has a TV as well. There’s also a 2nd full bathroom. Having a bathroom for each bedroom makes a vacation so much easier; you can indulge in a lengthy shower or bath without a line forming on the other side of the door. Another feature of Estero Island Beach Villas 601 that will make life easier: The unit has its own washer and dryer.

The condo complex features a heated pool (Not Reopened Yet), perfect for days when the gulf is a bit too chilly for your liking. After your swim, luxuriate on a poolside chaise as the breeze rustles through the palm trees—so relaxing! And of course, you can stroll down to the beach anytime you like. Canoe or kayak in the morning, paddleboard or parasail in the afternoon, search for seashells at dusk, enjoy a moonlit stroll at night. This is what a Gulf Coast vacation is all about.

For additional outdoor pursuits, walk to Bowditch Point Park. The 17-acre park and preserve include walking and paddling trails, boat ramps, a butterfly garden, and fabulous bird-watching. On the other hand, if you’d like more-urbane entertainment, head to Times Square, which is chock-full of shops, restaurants, bars, and street performers.

If all this sounds like a dream vacation to you, here’s your chance to make the dream come true: Simply book your stay at Estero Island Beach Villas 601 today!
