About this property

DIRECT Gulf front view, secluded beach, corner lanai, lg heated pool & hot-tub

WEEKLY MINIMUM Rental from Saturday to Saturday during in-season (Dec - April). This is your lucky day- this unit is rarely available for rent and newly renovated decor and new mattress .

Thanks to perfect beachfront location, there is a gorgeous view of the Gulf from nearly every direction. The best place to watch our world-famous sunsets, however, is from the comfort of your top floor screened-in lanai! Imagine the fun of sipping a drink on this lanai as you watch the Florida sun sink behind the Gulf waters or sipping a cup of your favorite morning coffee as you watch the dolphins play. It's a front row seat on one of nature's best shows that changes every minute.

Estero Island's hospitality blends perfectly with the Hawaiian atmosphere at this Gulf front resort. The warm Florida sun, the peaceful sounds of the Gulf of Mexico, and a tranquil, unhurried ambiance leave you relaxed and refreshed. Just sit back and relax by the pool or on the quiet /uncrowded beach but still be near many restaurants and night spots as well as its shops and boutiques.. Visit Fort Myers, about 20 minutes northeast, Naples about 26 miles south, or perhaps just a few miles south, spend the day at Lovers Key State Park, home to West Indian manatees, bottlenose dolphins, roseate spoonbills, marsh rabbits, and bald eagles. You are walking distance to shopping, restaurants, and marina or just take a short ride on the beach trolley to Times Square and The Pier.

The condo has a spectacular view of the Gulf of Mexico, Fort Myers Beach coastline, bay areas, Sanibelk Island and gorgeous sunsets. The best location in southwest Florida. Direct access to the gulf, 7 miles of white sandy beaches and the estuary where native birds feed daily. Herons, egrets, pelicans, osprey and roseate spoonbills are plentiful, playful and beautiful. Dolphins enjoy the pristine waters of the gulf and can be seen from your screened lanai all times of the day. Sunsets are absolutely breathtaking and different each time . if you’re lucky you may be able to see the green flash!

Our condo offers 1 Queen Bed and 1 Double Sofa Bed with a CORNER view screened lanai/balcony that is situated on top 3rd floor directly overlooking the Gulf of Mexico shoreline on quiet South Fort Myers Beach (Estero Island) , Florida. The condo unit can accommodate up to four (4) adult guests. The unit has an efficiency kitchen with refrigerator, cook top, combo convection microwave, and cookware/dishware with utensils so that our guests feel completely at home while on vacation. Our favorite place to rest and relax is either the resort’s large common heated pool area with hot tub (neither of which will be open yet) or on the beach itself just a few steps away from your condo. .

This condo resort complex on the Gulf beach consists of only 44 total condo units arranged in horseshoe shape configuration (see complex plot shown in pics) that forms the common courtyard pool area for all the owners/guests to enjoy. The condo complex is just two stories high of condo with covered parking so you never waste your precious vacation time finding a parking spot. Book your stay as our guest and enjoy this little slice of paradise in SW FL

Here are some of the other highlighted amenities that can be found in the common courtyard area for the guest/owners:

Large outdoor HEATED and lighted Pool (some say the largest & nicest pool on the entire Estero Island). Just newly resurfaced pool and surrounding pavers, lounge chairs, and umbrella tables. All new heater and pool equipment installed in Feb '24.

Pool towels provided!
Hot Tub - newly resurfaced!
-Freshly brewed Daily morning coffee by 7 AM
-Pool lounge chairs, tables with umbrellas

-Showers/Feet washing stations (2)
-Bicycles available from offsite rental
-Kayaks with paddles from offsite rental

-Covered Picnic Area with tables

Perfect Spot

Absolutely loved this place. It was our first time in the Fort Myers area and would not hesitate to return. The staff at the property were all wonderful and everything was just as Tim explained. Tim was great and provided us with a seamless overview of the property which made check-in a breeze. Loved that we could walk right out onto the beach and the more quiet tranquil atmosphere at CBC. The view as well as the sunsets were incredible. We can't wait to return!

Fantastic location & community for R&R!!

Our unit was well maintained. Small, but we knew that & was very appropriate for 2 people. It will accommodate 4, but that would have been too tight for us. Clean, beach front, South Island (quiet & away from north chaos), pool, helpful & kind staff… all the necessities. We’re considering buying in that community.

Great stay!

The pros: You’re right on the beach! Walks on the beach right out your door. Sunset cocktails on your screen porch every night. Staff was fantastic. No charge for parking. Pool was warm and hot tub was HOT. Perfect. Clean and well cared for property. On the quiet southern end of the island but in walking distance to several restaurants and shops. The trolley will take you north to the craziness of Times Square about 1x per hour Cons; The rooms are small, really small. The queen size bed and one dresser fill the bedroom. We stored our empty suitcases in our car trunk. The living room/kitchen area is crowded. We moved our table and chairs onto the porch to make some leg room. It’s all you need with not an inch to spare. That said, we ate out for the most part so the small kitchen area worked ok for us. In all we’d highly recommend this place - just don’t over pack!

March unforgettable getaway

Great place. Small but efficient and sufficient. Had everything we needed. Recommend for couples. The pool area was awesome. Great to be able to grill dinner and enjoy it on our ocean view balcony. The beach was not crowded and was wonderful for long walks.

Good for the soul

Tim's condo at Caribbean Beach Club made for a wonderful and relaxing vacation for us. The beach is beautiful and the sunsets are stunning. There is a lot of bird wildlife to view and shells to collect. The amenities at the CBC are excellent and kept in good order. The office staff assisted us by answering all of our questions regarding the CBC and the local area. Tim was super to deal with, providing helpful and timely email messages and even calling on Tuesday to make sure that everything was going well for us. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this condo to our friends and family.

Wonderful place to stay!

Perfect location if you don't want to be in the hustle and bustle of downtown. Pool was very clean, shuffleboard was fun and the walk to the beach was hardly a walk. Amazing place to stay!

About the host

Host profile image
I personally manage our condo and look forward to sharing it with you!

We initially acquired this condo property ownership in 2004 and purchased more units in 2014 thru 2021. We have personally stayed at this resort property annually since 1999. We typically utilize this property for our family vacations but occasionally have opening to allow others to use it. This is the reason for not having many customer property reviews available to read. Please keep this in mind as you determine if this resort is the right fit for your family vacation .

I will do everything I can to make your stay an enjoyable one! Please let me know if you have any questions.

Why they chose this property

We started as renters and quickly became owners when we fell in love with the Resort's atmosphere, friendly staff, and large heated pool & hot tub area, and loved the amazing unobstructed direct ocean and beach front sights & sounds from the condo! . The south island location is preferred, in my opinion as opposed to the "more commercialized" north. Close to a number of eateries and happy hour establishments :)

What makes this property unique

This resort property is unique in numerous ways!. It is the ideal location to enjoy both the quiet white powdery 7 mile sand beach and ocean view while being a few miles either direction from the shopping/restaurants and Estero Island's Time Square. The sunsets are absolutely breathtaking, everyone is so different; and, if lucky you may be able to see the green flash.

The Space - The oceanfront view and access to semi-private quiet beach from your condo unit .

Guest Access - The entire resort common area that includes heated pool, hot tub, kayaks , canoes, shuffleboards, shell station, corn hole, bicycles, picnic table with umbrellas, and private fishing dock.

The Neighborhood - Private beach front on quiet south end of Estero Island. Located conveniently 6 miles from many shopping, bars & restaurants, night life activities , if desired.

Getting Around - The island trolley stop is located very close to entrance of the resort that takes you 5-6 miles to the north of Estero Island night life festivities or more shopping/restaurants. There are several restaurants and shops within a mile of the resort location too,

Other Things to Note - You are located just a few miles north of Lover Key State Park area.
