Unique Benefits
Beachfront, on the Beach, Over the Beach. Private balcony with a view that is one of the best on Ft. Myers Beach. You can sit on the balcony and listen to the sound of the waves and watch many types of birds as the dive for fish. The anhinga or snake bird acts a lot like a duck, but swims underwater for their food. Look for brown pelicans that dive beak first with a huge splash to catch their prey. Sea gulls are everywhere each trying to steel each others food. The graceful osprey circles above the water ready to dive for their catch. These are just a few of the birds you will see. Just about every day you see dolphin swimming by and the occasional manatee.
Reserved Covered Parking.

About the host: Beverly and Steve Chesnut purchased unit 302 Estero Beach Club Sept 10, 2020.
We are in the process of totally remodeling this unit. The view is already breath taking and by Dec of 2020 the interior will be also. New flooring through out the unit along with a totally opened up kitchen. All new stainless appliances. Two new smart TV's and free High speed over 175 Mbps.
Beach towels, chairs, and umbrellas are in the large walk in closet for your use.
Unique design lighthouse wine rack.
Why this property? Beverly and Steve met on Fort Myers Beach on the pier that you can see from your balcony. Beverly grew up on Ft. Myers Beach and Steve moved here from Muncie, Indiana in 1970. In 1972 we were married and lived across from the public beach. In the 1980's we owned a Deli and Restaurant where the only traffic light is located as you come onto or leave the island. The building has since been demolished and is now vacant. Living in Fort Myers we still spend summers on Fort Myers Beach and decided it was time to invest in a property on a beach that has been a large part of our lives.

Donna L. T.Fantastic place! Home away from home - only much BETTER!
I had a great, relaxing time at this awesome condo! It far exceeded my expectations! It is very well decorated, super clean and well appointed. The rooms are spacious, plenty of room everywhere. The condo complex is quiet and clean, with a friendly staff. This is such a fabulous location on the beach. The balcony has the very best view on the beach, outstanding really. The white sand beaches are my favorite, and the long walks were fantastic! I appreciate having the beach chairs too. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you could possibly need, which is greatly appreciated. Steve and Bev care so much about their guests, they thought of everything to make a stay perfect! I would definitely stay here again. Thank you to Steve and Bev for sharing such a wonderful place.

Karen S.GREAT CONDO & OWNERS
We had a great time at this condo. It was very well decorated, clean and even color coordinated. Rooms were plenty big for two people, the bathroom was slightly small but I would rather have larger living areas and a smaller bathroom. The condo complex is quiet, clean, friendly staff and great location on the beach. The sand is super soft and pool is great after a day on the beach or if too windy for the beach.We cooked breakfast in our condo 302 every morning and had everything we needed, it was well stocked and items were clean and new. Steve and Bev left some paper towels, coffee pods, dishwasher & dish soap and even some foil and Saran Wrap which was appreciated when we had leftovers.Balcony had the best view, you could see all the way up and down the beach. Very peaceful and great for eating breakfast on.Steve was very responsive to issues. The AC was out when we arrived and he had someone in to look at it right away. Unfortunately it needed a part that they couldn’t get right away. Steve drove over from 20 minutes away at 9:30 on a Saturday night to bring us a portable AC for the bedroom! He cares about his guests and wants you to have the best time.We’ll… the AC part didn’t arrive so we had no AC the entire week. It was a little warm but for us it wasn’t terrible and did NOT distract us from having a great time. And without me asking Steve gave me a very generous refund to compensate for no AC.I would definitely stay here again if in the area. Thanks Steve and Bev for sharing your lovely condo.

Karen, it was such a pleasure to have you and Clifford spend time in our condo. The balcony is just amazing with the view it provides. That AC thing was such a pain. I am no longer using that repair company. The combination of them and parts was driving me crazy. So glad it was a cool week. We look forward to having you stay with us again. Steve and Beverly Chesnut.
Julie C.This condo was simply a delightful place!
We loved our time at Steve and Beverly's condo. Everything was provided that we needed, and the condo is so beautifully decorated. The owners have thought of all the details to make it a perfect stay! We look forward to returning next winter and enjoying the beautiful beach views and more long walks on the sandy beach!

We loved everything about your condo. Our favorite was the view from our balcony. Ever morning and evening we watched the dolphins and the sunsets.

Carleen S.March vaca 2022
We love the way the kitchen has been remodeled. The entire condo is comfy with light seaside relaxing decor. This was our second stay and we booked for next year 2023 too. Great location for walking to shops and the pier. Fantastic views from the 3rd floor balcony! The beach is soft sand and great for shelling at low tide. The pool area is nice, clean and well kept.

The condo was perfect. We couldn’t have been more pleased. You thought of everything to make us feel right at home. Your decor was gorgeous. It was in a perfect location and we could walk to everything. This made our first stay in Florida one to truly remember. Sunsets off your deck we’re absolutely beautiful

Lynne N.Great Gulf-front condo for being spoiled
My husband and I had stayed at Estero Beach Club the previous year, but had a two bedroom since there was family with us. This year we stayed in Steve's one bedroom, literally overlooking the beach, since it was just us. We already knew that we loved the area, the condo and its gorgeous pool and beach access, and it was easy to become even more spoiled in this condo. The color scheme is beautiful, and the living room furniture and bed were very comfortable. I loved waking up and immediately looking out at the Gulf from the bedroom window, followed by enjoying breakfast on the balcony and a couple of sunrises, as well as the picturesque sunsets that we viewed from the balcony, or from the beach itself. Steve was very friendly and communication ahead of our stay was good. We will definitely return!

Bob N.Great place to vacation right on the beach
We had a great vacation stay at EBC-302. The location is great, close to plenty of shops and restaurants, but in a less busy area. The condo was nicely remodeled, nicely decorated, and furnished with everything you could need, including beach chairs and an umbrella. We really enjoyed the balcony and the comfortable balcony furniture. Great views of the beach and the gulf. Liked the fact that the balcony was not screened in. It was fun watching the action at the beach and we saw dolphins several times right out in front. The pool and hot tub were nice to relax at. Thanks for sharing your condo with us.

Bob thanks so much for staying in our condo. We really enjoy the private balcony every morning when we stay there during the summer. My wife's plan was to furnish with everything she would need and more when we stay there. Hope to have you back again. Steve and Beverly Chesnut
Adam K.Couldn't Be Better!
Great week of rest and relaxation! We found ourselves just laying on the balcony more than taking all our equipment down to the beach. So easy to just open the door and sit down. Beautiful view! The unit was awesome, just renovated and the location was superb! Thank you for letting us borrow your home for a week!

Tami D.Perfect getaway vacation for two!
This was quite possibly our best experience EVER renting a condo for spring vacation. Steve and Beverly gave excellent instructions for finding the place (we had a late arrival) and all of the many things to do and see nearby...we flew in and took an Uber over to Steve and Beverly’s newly remodeled, absolutely amazing condo...we got around on bikes from the bike rental across the street. We took bikes to restaurants, to historical sites, the grocery store, shopping, ice-cream, the pier, wherever we decided to easy! We enjoyed warm sunny days at the beach right outside our condo and at the pool (water was a perfect temp) and hot tub was great after the beach! Not to mention, the condo patio deck itself was a perfect relaxation oasis! The views from our room were incredible and private...no large crowds, but enough people to chat and say hello to! Dolphins and birds were enjoyable to watch from our balcony with a glass of wine. Cinnamon rolls were the best from Mom’s in the morning and drinks and food were so good everywhere we went. The condo itself was gorgeous! Everything we needed was there...from lovely hand soap to an extra phone charger...they thought of every thing! Beach towels, chairs, an umbrella...and all clean and new! We felt like guests, rather than renters! We are certainly hoping to return to this very special place!

We recently stayed in newly renovated unit 302 at Estero Beach Club and it could not have been any nicer. The amenities were perfect and the views sitting on the deck were even better. Dolphins right in front of us every morning. The owners of the condo were so easy to work with and responded to questions we had within minutes. We will definitely be back in the future.

Richard A.Florida
The condo was fantastic and is was beautifully redone. We were very comfortable there. We really liked the backpack beach chairs, easy to carry. Also the third floor balcony offered fabulous views - high enough - but not too much to use the stairs. Also located close enough to walk to the pier but far enough away from the crowds down there. The weather was perfect! We would love to stay in this condo again but Feb is already booked for next year, but we will definately return. Thank you!

Richard thanks so much for your review. When we did the remodel my wife would say here is what I want when we stay here. Thus the backpack beach chairs and everything she and the guest could possibly want. We look forward to your staying again. Steve and Beverly

Brent L.Good rental
We enjoy coming to this condo, have been down for the past three years. The space itself is good for two people, but the fixtures and furniture could use updates as they are pretty outdated. Only concern is the bedroom does get warm when the door is closed at night, even with ceiling fan running. Favorite part is the unobstructed corner view of the ocean! Looking forward to coming back next year.

Brent thanks for the review. Brent the remodel has been completed. Please check out the new pictures. We addressed your issue and installed a much better ceiling fan and installed larger vents for the AC. All furniture, fixtures and appliances have been updated.
