It's all yours ... come on down.
We've been waiting.  The white sand beach and blue Gulf water haven't changed.
At EBT the Gulf of Mexico is just out the back door ...
... and down the way there's creature comforts.
EBT is the only south beach front condo that's come back after the hurricane.

About this property

Spring is Back & So is Ft. Myers Beach

Ft Myers Beach is springing back and construction continues everywhere.
EBT is the first beach front condo available for guests north of San Carlos Pass. While the units are ready for guests, contractors are working to complete renovations of the lobbies, laundry facilities and utility rooms on the ground floor.

Much of the landscaping has been done and more continues. We have finished the new shuffleboard, new pickle ball and tennis courts, new bacchii ball and new grills and picnic areas. We still await the city’s approval to open the renovated pool.

The surf, sun and sky have not changed. Beaches are beautiful. Each night you are treated to another spectacular sunset over the Gulf.

From our lanai you have beautiful views -- east to the back-bay estuaries, south to Naples coastline and west to the Gulf of Mexico.

We redecorated after the storm – adding new furniture and appliances. The sitting area has a new sofa and chair; the deck - new chairs and ottoman. The bedroom offers a king bed and lots of dresser and closet storage.

We added a new refrigerator and air fryer/toaster oven to the kitchen to supplement our convection/microwave oven & ceramic cooktop. Coffee lovers can choose either a Keurig or a Cuisinart coffee maker.

We updated the HD cable TV with streaming capabilities and we offer a high-speed, free, private, secure Wi-Fi connection.

Linens, towels, dishes, silverware, beach chairs – all provided. All you need to do is pack your bags and head to the Gulf.

Ft. Myers Beach - has world’s best beach out the back door, or take a short drive just a mile and half South is Lovers Key State Park -- a top ten Florida beach!

If you flew in, you won’t need a car to get around the island. Use the Ft. Myers Beach trolley. It Stops in front of EBT every 35 minutes. Rides are 75 (35 for seniors) cents per person or an all-day pass $1.
If you have a car, you can make excursions to nearby Naples and Fort Myers for site-seeing and shopping, or Sanibel and Captiva for nature trails, eco-kayaking, beach strolling, and shelling.

For the truly adventurous, hop the Fast-Cat boat Key West Express for a day in Key West.

As you come to the island please note, many of the pre-hurricane shops are gone. For instance, Santini Plaza across the street from EBT is still undergoing massive renovations. Around the island new restaurants and bars are opening each week. Closeby CVS and Publix reopened this fall. To help you find where to go look for current maps and guide books at various outlets that advertise island retailers: spas, marina, bikes, jet-ski & boat rentals, sport fishing, and tour boat operations. Ft Myers Beach is springing back, and construction continues everywhere.

Short but wonderful
Unfortunately, our 8 night vacation was cut down to 2 nights because of hurricane Ian. However, Marcia was wonderful to work with. Extremely accommodating. She offered to put us in a hotel and made arrangements so that we would be safe from the storm at no extra cost. She also said that she would work with us to come back as long as she had availability. The property was beautiful, very clean and the location couldn't have been more pefect. Our first time at Ft. Myers Beach was lovely. We are disheartened to see ans hear all of the devastation that hurricane Ian caused to such a beautiful island. We hope that everyone is safe and our thoughts and prayers are with the residents of the island. We hope to return in the future and would be delighted to work with Marcia and stay at the property again. Thank you for everything.

Cozy condo
It was the perfect size for my husband and I for the week. It was well stocked and check in/check out was a breeze. Right on the beach with restaurants across the road within a small walk. Marcia was great to work with and gives detailed information on good restaurants in the area. We had a great time and enjoyed our stay!

Good location well equipped
Property located on southern end of island near multiple great restaurants and conveniences. Quiet beach cut off from other beaches gave us a nice private feel. Room came equipped with everything we needed for stay, cooking and beach. Clean and comfy

About the host

Hosted by Marcia Benson

Host profile image
I was born and raised in Ohio. During a particularly cold winter in 1984 I visited Ft. Myers Beach and fell in love with the area for a vacation destination.
As fate would have a few years later I met my husband – who happened to be from Florida. So I have relocated to Stuart, Florida – and in case you were wondering, I don’t miss the snow and ice!
I have always had an interest in real estate and I’m now a realtor/broker with Berkshire Hathaway.
Every year my husband and I spend time redecorating, updating and improving our Ft. Myers Beach condo. It's fun to see the improvements we have made over the years to the decor, especially the new flooring and recent updating of the bathroom.
It was over a year after Hurricane Ian before we were able to get back to the condo. We were fortunate to have a little water intrusion around the air conditioner. We used those months to shop for new furnishings and update the color and decor.
We were also very fortunate to have a HOA President and Board that acted quickly after the storm. Coming north from San Carlos bridge we are the first beach condo open to guests.
Even though the first level and grounds are still under repair, I’m sure you’ll enjoy Ft. Myers Beach area as it rebuilds as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

The Gulf of Mexico has the best beaches in Florida. Our beachfront is unique with the small estuary in front. It attracts an assortment of migrating and tropical birds. The surf is gentle and the water is shallow a long way out. It’s perfect for swimming, wading, shelling and strolling.
Many of our guest say that they didn't really need a car here. The amenities you want are within walking distance. You can fly in, Uber to the condo and have great restaurants, fun waterfront bars, and shopping nearby.
The condo has new amenities since Hurricane Ian – pickle ball and tennis, bocce ball, shuffleboard, a soon to open large heated pool. The landcaping took a het but work is underway to put in beautiful plants and replant the spacious Gulf front grass lawn.
This location is perfect for a laid-back vacation or an action-packed one -- it's up to you.
The condo has a southeastern exposure which gives it a winter sun for warmth and summer shade for cool. The open lanai offers a panoramic view especially south along the coast to Naples.

What makes this property unique

For the location: It’s all about the Gulf and beach – white, powdery sand. Beautiful blue Gulf. Birds, dolphins.
Getaway: do as little or as much as you wish.
The Condo: We pride ourselves in providing a bright, clean, comfortable vacation place with amenities. Our guests have enjoyed their time here and come back. While other units have standard cable, we have HD channels, smart TV and a secure in-unit WIFI connection. Our kitchen has the latest appliance if our guests like to "cook-in".
