About the property

Papa's Boat House
✅ Your safety and security are important to us. As part of our local compliance requirements, this property requires a signed rental agreement and ID verification prior to arrival. To make the process quick and hassle-free, we use a secure, app-free platform called Happy Guest. There's nothing to download and no account to create, just a secure website that takes only a few minutes to complete. Once finished, you'll also have access to your guest portal, where you'll find important property information, check-in details, and some of our favorite local recommendations. Please note: The platform will prompt you to purchase a damage waiver fee.

This luxury, three-story entire house sits on the south end of Estero Island that comprises Fort Myers Beach, far from the crowds of Margaritaville and Time's Square. Savor your morning coffee while overlooking 180-degree, unobstructed views of the gulf and beach from the furnished balcony. Observe the pelicans, egrets, and ibis birds hunt for fish in the estuary. You may even spy a rosy spoonbill!
Take a short walk along the sidewalk to the access path that leads to the ocean and watch dolphins along the shore or lazily gather seashells on the white, sandy beach. Swim in the private, heated saltwater pool protected by a screened lanai or read and doze on one of the many lounge chairs.

This newly-renovated house sleeps 10 people with 4BR/4Baths: two king-sized beds, two queen-sized beds, and a sofa-bed in a den. Awaken to breathtaking beach views from three of the five beds. Three of the bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms. Pamper yourself in the spa-like master bathroom which features a deep Roman tub and an enormous, walk-in shower with a double showerhead and granite bench seating.

Cook steaks and veggies on the balcony with the propane gas grill and relish dinner al fresco at the outdoor table as the sun sets over the ocean. The fully-stocked kitchen with granite countertops contains a walk-in pantry and all new appliances: stove, electric range, microwave, full-sized refrigerator, and dishwasher.

In the soft, sandy beachfront backyard, play ladder golf or cornhole with the provided equipment. All bedrooms boast 40” Roku smart TVs with a 55” Roku smart TV in the vaulted-ceiling great room, so in the evenings, you can stream your own Netflix movies on the Wi-Fi. Challenge a friend to a game of chess or Settlers of Catan with one of the many provided puzzles and board games. Use the private service elevator to bring your groceries or luggage upstairs (no people). A full-sized laundry sink, washer and dryer are available. The cavernous two-car garage and paved property easily accommodates free parking for a total of four vehicles. The house is two miles from Lover's Key State Park where you can rent kayaks to explore the bay.

This exquisite, waterfront home is like having your own secluded, opulent sanctuary and represents a unique opportunity to make incredible vacation memories.
Disclaimers: The house has two dozen stairs between the ground floor and the main floor and again between the main floor and the third floor. While there is an elevator for luggage, it is not for people.

By booking, guests acknowledge and accept the possibility of construction-related impacts during their stay.

This property accommodates parking for a maximum of 4 vehicle.
Beach access is just a short stroll away. Walk along Estero Blvd until you see the crosswalk on your left, then turn right and follow the sandy path between the two white posts straight to the beach. Please note that the backyards of the neighboring properties are not available for beach access. R260283

The house is great and has everything. Views are spectacular. Fabulous swimming pool. Peaceful and quiet. Gorgeous, luxurious master spaces. Lots of restaurants, close by CVS and Publix. Heads up: there are almost 30 steps from the entrance and swimming pool to the third floor. Access to the beach wasn't easy due to birds and turtles nests; we saw flamingos, many, many of them everyday at sunrise; also bunnies and ducks families.

Beautiful place! The house was comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed. We were pleasantly surprised to find chairs, umbrellas, and a cart to make our beach experience even more pleasant! Since the birds were nesting, it was a little hike to get to the beach, but well worth it. The pool was a hit! We had a wonderful time!

The best Florida experience we have ever had. We checked in late at night due to our flights and it could not have been an easier process. The home is immaculate inside and out, the amount of beach and pool amenities was a wonderful surprise! We had a group of 9 and there is enough beach chairs and umbrellas to have a great time! The bedrooms in the home are perfectly decorated, and the views from the Master and Junior bedroom are incredible! We thoroughly enjoyed the well maintained pool! It is so nice to relax right next to white sand! Also the staff members were always available with answers to any questions we had. This was the best way for our family to enjoy a trip away from home, and this luxury home on a very private portion of Ft Meyers beach was more than we could have planned for! 10/10 we will be returning!
