About this property

Island Escape: Porch Coffee & Game Time

Summary:
Coffee on the sunny front balcony, a book on the shaded screened porch, then a friendly game downstairs. Island Escape gives your beach week more than one place to unwind.

This upstairs apartment sleeps eight with king and queen bedrooms, a queen Murphy bed and a queen sleeper sofa. Walk one block to the beach or enjoy the shared heated waterfall pool, game lounge and free community laundry. Stairs are required.

The Space:
Start in the sunshine, settle into the shade, and let the rest of the day find its own pace. Island Escape has a sunny front balcony for morning coffee and a private screened porch for the book you finally have time to finish.

Inside, the open kitchen, dining and living area keeps everyone together between outings. Two separate bedrooms offer quieter places to retreat, while a queen Murphy bed in the entry nook and a queen sleeper sofa make room for up to eight guests.

Beach Access #23 is one block away. Take shared chairs and a wagon to the sand, return for a swim in the shared heated pool, or challenge someone to ping-pong in the community game lounge.

SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
The primary bedroom has a king bed, cotton linens, closet space and drawers for unpacking. Its ensuite bathroom gives the room a little extra privacy when everyone is getting ready.

The second bedroom has a queen bed with a foam mattress, cotton linens, a dresser, a closet and room-darkening window coverings. A second full bathroom is nearby.

The entry nook holds a queen Murphy bed with a foam mattress. A queen sleeper sofa in the living area supplies the fourth sleeping surface. These extra beds are in shared living spaces rather than additional bedrooms. The apartment accommodates up to eight guests.

BATHROOMS
Two full bathrooms serve the apartment: the primary ensuite and the hall bathroom. Updated finishes and walk-in showers make it easy to freshen up after the beach. A Pack ’n Play and high chair are available for younger guests.

KITCHEN & LIVING
Make breakfast before the beach or bring home ingredients for dinner. The equipped kitchen includes appliances, dishes and cookware, with counter-height seating for conversation while a meal comes together. The dining table seats six.

The living area has a Smart TV, sofa and accent chairs for a quieter evening indoors. During the day, the Murphy bed folds away to reopen the entry nook.

TWO OUTDOOR PLACES TO PAUSE
The front balcony has two chairs and neighborhood views. The private screened porch offers shaded conversation seating. Choose whichever suits the time of day.

The heated pool, waterfall, loungers and outdoor dining areas are shared with other building guests. Reach the pool by the spiral staircase or use the main stairs and side gate. A propane grill is available through that gate.

GAMES & BEACH-DAY EXTRAS
Downstairs, the shared lounge has foosball, ping-pong, darts, ring toss and seating between rounds. Two free community washers and dryers are beside the lounge. Shared wagons, chairs and a cooler help with the one-block beach trip.

Return from the sand, choose your porch seat and enjoy having a few different ways to spend an island afternoon.

The Neighborhood:
Island Escape sits on a dead-end street just off Estero Boulevard, with a nature preserve at the end of the road. Beach Access #23 is about a five-minute walk away, and nearby restaurants give you a reason to leave the kitchen for an evening.

Walk or bike toward Times Square for more island activity, then return to your balcony or screened porch when a quieter moment sounds right.

We stayed at this apartment for 6 nights with 4 adults and 2 children and it was perfect for us! The inside is very open and clean. Has all the amenities you could need. You have 2 furnished balconies to yourself and a fantastic heated pool to share with the other units. We usually had the pool to ourselves. Has onsite laundry and all the equipment you need to take to the beach. In walking distance to all the action on Estero beach and the awesome restaurants. Will definitely recommend this apartment to friends traveling to Fort Myers Beach.

Our family absolutely loved this stay! There was pleanty of room. The murphy bed was easy to use and very comfortable. Large kitchen for preparing meals. Our 3 kids loved that there were beach toys and a game room. The walk to the beach was an easy and quick 2 block walk. The beach was full of seashells and soft white sand. The pool was also fabulous. The kids especially loved the fountains. Its all screened in so no bugs. Overall great stay! The host was very quick to answer any and all questions. We hope to stay here again!

Quick getaway

The property is true to the pictures shown. Very clean! There were plenty of beach chairs, coolers, toys, etc available for use. It is within walking distance to the beach (but you do need to cross the main road if your hands are full). I would definitely stay at this property again!

A hidden gem

We stayed at this property for a Memorial Day Weekend with another family and the place was just like in the pictures. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the living room was the perfect place to have a movie night with our kids, the pool in the property was amazing and we were able to use their gas grill for a nice dinner. The place was a short 5min. walk to the beach, and a short drive to all the local restaurants, bars and shops! Can't wait to stay here again! Thank you!

Beautiful condo - limited beach access.

The condo is amazing. Large, clean, beautiful pool, and close to the beach. Our beach access was shut down due to construction on the beach - I wish we had known that. We drove to another beach. Traffic in the area is really bad. But the condo itself was perfect.
