About this house rental
Beach and boat - a dream, a combination, which is hard to find. We offer you both, without getting into the car! The villa Bayside-Beach sits on an 1100m property at the exit of a channel overlooking the bay. Being located in the best residential area of Fort Myers Beach, the fantastic and almost never ending beach is only a few minutes away.
Only in 2009 the house was refurbished with much passion to detail and resulted in a friendly upper ambient. The large, light-flooded living spaces offer a wonderful view on the heatable pool and the tropical garden.
The bar of the exclusive open kitchen with adjacent living room features a pool table and invites to chat and stay.
If you should plan a trip by boat, the open sea is hit within a few minutes. Let a beautiful day of holiday end with a drink at the pool or enjoy a picturesque sunset with a dreamlike stroll on the beach.
Outer area:: Fairly quick you’ll realize that you spend most of your time outside the house. That’s why we attached great importance to the garden, the pool and its surrounding area. In the garden you’ll find palm trees citruses and other tropical greenery. In summer it’s “Mango Time” so you should lighten the huge mango tree from some of its tasteful fruits.
On the big roofed terrace you’ll find some nice teakwood furniture with 6 chairs. During midday sufficient amount of shade is provided.
The pool is big enough to sport around. Next to the pool 4 sunbeds are available and invite to eat your mango while lazing in the sun. Since we have no cage you can enjoy a clear view on the bay. With some luck you will witness dolphins swimming by.
In the evening you’ll appreciate the warmth of Florida while having a real BBQ with famous American steaks. Alternatively you can enjoy the pool being illuminated with selectable colors or simply reward yourself with a drink on a sunbed watching the starry sky.
Island life and shopping: The villa is located in the centre oft the island. A super market (Publix) is distant only a few minutes. Additionally there is a place to hire bicycles or scooters as well as various small shops. If you want to go out dining there is plenty of possibility in the immediate vicinity; even to sit outdoors which is not so usual in Florida.
The snow-white beach – about 11km long – is reached within a few minutes. At the beach you will gaze upon the famous islands of Sanibel and Captiva.
Just a few kilometres separate you from the superb beaches of Lovers Key with the Carl E. Johnson State Park. Here you can expect lonely beaches, clear sea waters and plenty of sea shells.
You can get to Fort Myers or Naples with the car within 30 minutes. It’s worth it checking out the Edison Museum in Fort Myers.
Within 15 minutes driving time you get to Tanger Outlet Mall. It’s also nice to visite the new Coconut Piont Mall or the Miromar Outlet Mall both close to Bonita.
Information for boater: You would like to rent a motor boat? Go for it! No boat driving license is needed. You can even pick up your friends or friends from the villa’s boat dock. The location of villa Bayside-Beach is characterized by its perfect bridgeless link to the open sea. In less than a minute you are in Estero Bay already and here you go. Since our house is located on the island’s centre, you can take either the northern or the southern waterway scooting off to the Golf of Mexico. The choice is yours…
Several Marinas serve Fort Myers Beach: The Snook Bight Marina sits right behind the Publix only a few minutes away from the house. The Fish Tale Marina is about 2km south. If you wish so, the boat will be shipped right to the house’s dock from where you immediately can start your adventure.
If you only want to start your marine career, the pontoon boat with 115PS is a good choice. Have an easy time feeling the refreshing fair winds while cruising the bay and discover some of the surrounding islands.

Our stay here at Wilma's beautiful home couldn't have been any better! When i was searching for a place to stay it was very important that it not only be clean, close to the beach, and peaceful but due to my husband's illness it was important to have the ability to have things to do if we couldn't go places. The beautiful tropical backyard, the scenic view of the bay from sitting on the dock, the lovely pool with chairs/umbrellas, a patio, bikes to ride, kayaks, grill, and a luxury pool table made our stay completely remarkable!!!! I would highly recommend this home if your looking for a peaceful place to vacation. Wilma was very kind, she called several times to assure we were comfortable and satisfied. The bedrooms were all separated from each other and they each had bathrooms for private, personal use. The only thing you should be aware of is the price is not in American dollars, its euros. Plus, its advertised to sleep 6 but the price doesn't reflect all six participants staying, there's additional cost.

We and our two friends stayed for two weeks at the end of June and absolutely loved everything about the Villa and Fort Myers Beach.
The Villa is situated mid island which we felt was the best area, lovely quiet road and a fantastic outlook, short walk to the beach or 5 minutes in the car to the Outrigger Beach Hotel where the beach is exceptionally wide and we used to hire Cabanas, they also have a nice Tiki bar right on the beach. Beautiful well kept gardens and we liked the fact that the pool was open rather than covered with netting and on one magical occasion whilst sitting at the end of the boat dock my wife and I watched as a large Manatee glided up to us, poked his nose out of the water, snorted and looked at us. That was a bonus on top of all the other wildlife we witnessed.
The Villa is high quality and very tastefully decorated by someone with a good eye, well equipped with everything you need for a perfect vacation. We ate out most nights and found plenty of quality restaurants. A visit to nearby Mound House to find out about the original native Americans was particularly interesting.
Great Publix supermarket just around the corner and our friend John cycled early most mornings to the pier to do some fishing.
Wilma and Manfred were great hosts and always available to contact, this was particularly helpful as we needed to reboot the router after an electrical storm in order to watch the England game on our first morning!
We can't wait to return one day.
