Blue Bayou

Welcome back to paradise on Fort Myers Beach with its white sands, emerald waters, and laid-back beach vibe on the Gulf of Mexico! Blue Bayou is a spacious, almost 2,000 square-foot two bedroom, two bath + loft vacation home, that is the left half of a duplex property, located mid-island on Fort Myers Beach. Enjoy the peaceful lake in your backyard, surrounded by lush landscaping, palm trees, and tropical flowers, while being just a block away from one of the most beautiful beach accesses on the island. Wake up and enjoy coffee and sunrise from the covered balcony/patio overlooking the lake, and watch the pelicans, roseate spoonbills, osprey, and other wildlife soar. In the evening, grab the provided beach chairs and walk down the block to enjoy happy hour with your toes in the sand, the spectacular sunsets of the Gulf coast, and listen for the locals blowing conch shells.

Blue Bayou is on a quiet, mid-island street, giving you easy access to Bonita Springs to the south, and Margaritaville, Times Square, and Fort Myers to the north. It’s less than a mile from a Publix supermarket, two restaurants/bars, a marina, fishing, and CVS, and just a quick bike or car ride to dozens of other bars, restaurants, ice cream, watersports, coffee/breakfast options, two weekly Farmers markets, and so much more. Beach bike, moped, and golf cart rentals are also available on the island

Blue Bayou is the perfect vacation rental for couples, families, or group getaways. This spacious two-bedroom, two full bath lakeside retreat is one half of a duplex property (left side) with almost 2,000 square-feet of living space, plus lots of outdoor spaces and an outdoor hose and shower. It comfortably sleeps eight, and has all the amenities and conveniences you need for a great stay. Enjoy the laughs and memories you’ll make hanging out on the magnificent lawn and playing bocce or cornhole (provided), or fire up the charcoal grill for hotdogs, hamburgers, and smores on the covered patio.

Inside, the spacious living room and dining room has seating for everyone, and a pull-out sofa that turns into a queen-size sleeper for extra sleeping space. There’s a full Xfinity entertainment package with blazing fast Internet and WIFI so you can watch favorite shows or movies on the 55-inch flat screen TV (or a smaller screen in the loft with Chromecast for streaming/gaming). The open floor plan means everyone can socialize from the kitchen/bar counter, dining room, living room, loft or patio, and the whole gang can enjoy meals at the family-style dining table that opens to the patio for additional seating and al fresco dining.

There’s lots of natural light in the ensuite primary bedroom featuring a king-size bed and its own bathroom with walk-in shower and a Smart TV for steaming. A comfortable queen-size bed outfits the second spacious bedroom. The second full bath features a combination tub and shower. The upstairs loft has two couches for plenty of seating, as well as a full-size futon, and can double as an open bedroom, office, or place for the kids to stream entertainment and play games on a second TV. You’ll also find ceiling fans throughout to offer a nice breeze on warm Florida days and nights.

There is ample covered parking for multiple cars. Fresh linens and fluffy towels are provided, and a full-size washer and dryer means you can pack light. Beach chairs and umbrellas are also provided, as are plenty of games, puzzles, and books, and there’s an outside storage area where you can leave wet and sandy towels and flip flops.

This home is less than a 2-minute walk to the beach at the Lanark beach access. Estero Beach Boulevard is also just a block away for an abundance of activities! It will also be easy for grabbing a quick bite because popular eateries like Fresh Catch and Junkanoo are only a mile away. A Publix supermarket and a CVS are also conveniently located within a mile for your shopping needs.

If you’re looking for laid-back beach vibes in a beautiful home on a pristine property with serene lake views and a short walk to the beach, get the flip flops out because Blue Bayou is waiting for you.
