Photos and Description of the Fort Myers Beach vacation house rental
Main house - 4 full bathrooms, 4 bedrooms; (guest house 1 BR, 1 full bath )

This gorgeous beachfront home sits on Ft Myers Beach about mid island, with views of the Gulf of Mexico and Sanibel island directly from the 60 ft deck or pool area. There are 7 miles of white powdery sand to traverse on Ft Myers Beach - from the house either 3 miles south or 4 miles north for great jogging, walking or shelling. The two story home was completed in 2002 from a total renovation of an older home - basically torn down except for one wall and totally rebuilt and now including a second level. There are two bedrooms, both with full en-suite bathrooms on the second level. Both rooms have direct access to balconies that overlook the pool and beach area.

The ground level has two bedrooms, also with full en-suite bathrooms. One of these bedrooms also has direct access to the deck and pool/ beach area. The deck faces the Gulf waters, so to sit on the deck and observe the nightly sunset is almost religious.

The guest house is rented separately from main house, and rates quoted below are ONLY for the main house. Pricing on the guest house is $725 to 800/wk plus tax and cleaning in addition to the 4BR rates below..

About Buzz Ebner

The Ebner family operate children's camps in Connecticut every summer. For many years the family started coming down to Ft Myers Beach for mid winter vacations ( around 1958) We have seen the island grow from a 50% developed island to almost 100% in the last fifty years. Finally in the 80's, we decided to buy some beachfront property, because this is what we enjoyed the most. Our parents have since passed, but they also bought property on Ft Myers Beach and resided here year round except for a couple of summer months back in Connecticut. They looked after the waterfront homes we acquired, but we now have a full time beach manager that lives on the island and exclusively looks after our properties when we are not on the island. We have been in the home and apartment rental business for over thirty years and know what people like to find in renting a home or apartment whether it is for one week, one month, or several years. At one time recently, we operated and owned more than 300 rental units in Florida, Cape Cod Mass. and Connecicut. We are older and wiser now, and operate only about one dozen rental homes in Florida and Connecticut.

If you do decide to rent one of our homes, we hope you will treat it like your own and respect the items we have placed in the home for your comfort or enjoyment. We also welcome comments and suggestions either good or bad to make our homes more enjoyable for others to come in the future.....and hopefully for your return visit in the future as well.

Buzz Ebner purchased this house in 1987

We have specific information on our home website (which we send to you after initial inquiry) as to names and contact numbers for most of the places of interest on the island.

For day entertainment, there are all sorts of rentals around the island and directly on the beach for bikes, baby beach strollers, wave runners, parasailing, and kayak tours around the island. If you are in to motorbikes or motorcycles, there are rentals for those as well as small electric fiberglass electric cars.

FMB also has two grocery stores on island - Topps and the larger of the two ....Publix Market about mid island.

We have dozens of really good restaurants all on the island, and many more off island. Fishing is a prime industry from the island with one of the largest shrimping pier areas in the southwest corner of Florida. You can buy right at the pier for really fresh and delicious shrimp and fish selections. With five marinas on the island, there are many captains to choose from for daily charters or group charter boat excursions for fishing. You might also be interested in renting a boat to captain yourself from a boston whaler style boat to an inboard with seating up to 12. Perhaps even a pontoon party boat to just cruise around the back bay area to watch local wildlife including manatees and dolphins, or just crusing from island to island along the coast. On the island and within a ten minute drive to other islands there are numerous wildlife protected areas to view the birds, gators, manatees, and the fantastic shell life that is always abundant on these south west islands of Florida. Make sure to check out the Ding Darling reservation on Sanibel, Shell Mound historic area, and Lovers Key state park for excellent shelling and marine life.

There is even a nine whole golf course on the island ( was 18 before condos became more lucrative). On the southern part of the island there is a 4 screen movie theater that also serves meals and beer/wine during shows. For more evening entertainment there is the offshore gambling cruise that goes out to the 3 mile limit and opens their casino for offshore gambling. You can also enjoy dinner on board as well as music and dancing from the onboard entertainment. An additional offshore excursion is the high speed ferry that loads at Ft Myers Beach marina and travels in approximately 2 1/2 hours to 3 to Key West. Much easier than driving, and you can return the same day or stay over and return the next evening.

Going off the island there is just about anything you can imagine in the localized Ft Myers Area and greater region. There are numerous outlet centers within 20 to 30 minute drives. The malls located in Ft Myers proper are numerous and cover just about any budget and interest area. During the mid winter time, there is sport action with two winter baseball teams residing in Ft Myers - the Minnesota Twins and Boston Red Sox ( two separate stadiums). And yes, there is still dog racing at the Bonita Springs Track just 20 minutes away.

Tampa is within 2 1/2 hours away for the Bush Gardens entertainment area, and then Orlando about the same time north of Ft Myers for Disney, Universal Studios, Sea World, and many more.

If you are heading off to or coming from a cruise, Ft Myers Beach is again only a 2 1/2 hour drive from the Ft Lauderdale and Miami shipping ports for the cruise ships.

South of Ft Myers Beach is one of the nicest zoos on the East Coast - The Naples Zoo. But please wander around the Naples area as this is also a fabulous home viewing area as well as superb shopping districts and perhaps even take in the local dinner/ theatrical performance night club.

    you can't get closer to the water unless you rent a houseboat. This gorgeous home is right down within 200 ft from the water's edge. Listen to the surf at night, and enjoy the dolphins jumping around the shoreline early morning as you enjoy breakfast on the deck. The memories, though, are in the sunsets that are just spectacular. Nothing like enjoying a cool drink as the big red ball falls into the Gulf as you relax on the 60ft deck with the beach sprawled out in front of you. Once you live it and experience the beachfront setting, you will be back for many more years!!

This was paradise......especially at sunset

Submitted: February 17, 2013 Stayed: January 2013
Hello Buzz,

Just a quick note to let you know that we had a great time at your rental home. In fact the photos on the Internet do not do the house justice.
We found more space and comfort than we had expected. Great views and spectacular sunsets.
The actual proximity to the beach and the ocean were very convenient. The kids loved the pool and we all gathered in comfort around the TV.
It is a treasure of a rental and I hope it will be there for years to come.

Debbie is a very friendly and helpful person and we hope she found the place not too much of a job to tidy up.

The factual information about the house was right. The property today is not well maintained and clean.
Comunication with the owner and the help at the house was a big dissapointment
The sandy beach is not there anymore by no fault to the owner.
I would not recomend the house today to anyone.

Stayed here a few years ago before the pool and reno- It was incredible then now WOW. Owners have "dog house in front and another two places on the island, great for large group or like a family with extras who need space. Once on the door step you never need to leave ( if take out and walk to dine works for you)!
