The condo is direct beachfront with spectacular views of the Gulf of Mexico from the lanai, master bedroom, living room, dining room and even the kitchen! It is located mid-island on beautiful Fort Myers Beach in a quiet, residential neighborhood. Ft. Myers Beach is a 7 mile long barrier island with a sugar sand beach that is suitable for walking, running and biking.

As owner, I have taken great care to ensure that your stay will be a memorable, enjoyable experience.
Unique Benefits
I first visited Ft. Myers Beach in 1991 and immediately fell in love with the beautiful white sandy beach and community. Something really 'spoke' to me on my first trip. The following year I purchased my Voted 'Best Condominium on the Beach' condo and have traveled to Ft. Myers Beach every year since!!
My first priority in purchasing a home on Ft. Myers Beach was that it had to be direct Gulf front and offer wonderful views of the Gulf of Mexico. I was very fortunate to find both of these qualities in my condo. In addition, I loved the interior design and floor plan. I insisted on a 2 bedroom, 2 bath unit because I wanted to have adequate space for family and friends to visit me. I love my condo and have never once regretted purchasing it. I still marvel at the spectacular views that I get from my lanai, master bedroom, living room, dining room and kitchen!
Why Kids Love It
My location on Ft. Myers Beach is perfect for children. The building is only 40 feet from the sand making it very easy to supervise kids. Also, the water is almost always very calm and safe. The swimming pool is available as well. A big hit with the kids!
I also have shuffleboard courts and a putting green that are available to kids as well.
Area Information
There are many interesting sites to visit while staying at my condo. They include the Edison-Ford Winter Homes in Ft. Myers, the Ding Darling Nature Preserve on Sanibel Island and Lovers Key State Park just south of Ft. Myers Beach.

Ten out of Ten spot on this 7 mile beach
We have stayed here 5 times and it is so convenient to grab a few groceries etc and not have to go away from the beach for long. This year was different in that we got an up close view of stingrays which are really fun to watch and the beach was exceptional to walk on. The ocean water was so warm which being from Minnesota was really a treat. My grandchildren came for the weekend and loved the ocean and got to boogie board as the waves were really fun too on the gulf. After missing a year with the pandemic we had been looking forward to coming for a long time. I know we will come back again, we have to see other places Ft. Myers is always pleasant, warm and I look forward to blue shy and the white beach. Don’t hesitate coming here! There is always something new to enjoy with ocean.

Comfortable cushions on lanai chairs to watch the breathtaking setting sun. The beautiful white sand beach is only a few steps away. Excellent restaurants nearby.

Excellent owner, condo and location!!
Jim, the owner is very attentive. I actually rented from him because he had great customer service. He called me right away when I inquired about his condo. The pictures of the condo do not do it justice. It is beautiful and has everything you need. The swimming pool was very enjoyable. The location at the oceanfront is spectacular. A beautiful sunset every night. Also, we enjoyed watching the dolphins. This was our first trip to this area of Florida. I highly recommend everything about the condo and area. Also, shopping is also very convenient. Thank you Jim!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. God bless!

Amazing Florida beach condo!!
My family and I loved our stay in this amazing, peaceful beach condo in Fort Myers Beach at Smogglers Cove! We loved the comfy beds, big kitchen, screened in porch and the beautiful view of the beach. It is such an amazing side of Ft. Myers and the condo is close to a marina, great water-front restaurants and even a supermarket. We enjoyed exploring all the souviner shops and we had some of the best ice cream I've ever tasted. Thanks so much to the owner for offering your home as a vacation rental! It provided an instant vacation for us. We can't wait to go back next year!

Fabulous place to stay!
Loved the condo, it was very clean. It was literally steps to the beach! Laundry room is very nice and clean. Office staff was very helpful with questions. The only thing that was not expected was the turtle regulations that required no lights on balcony after 9 pm. We love to sit out at night but it was pitch dark! But other than that a great vacation.

Thank you Anita and the "Golden Girls" for your 5 star review! The turtle regulations which I share with renters prior to their arrival are to protect the Loggerhead Turtles as they are laying eggs on the beach during this time of year. We are very lucky to have the proper habitat for the turtles and I thank you for protecting them.
Little bit of Paradise!
Our vacation was wonderful! The location was perfect, the condo was clean, very lovely and comfortable. The fact that e didn't have to walk to the beach was great. We went on memorial day week and loved that this particular area was not packed. Highly recommend and if we go back to Fort Myers we will be booking this condo again!!

Fantastic Beach Vacation!
Jim Horton is an extremely conscientious and accommodating owner. His condo was updated and immaculate with comfortable furniture. Our view of the Gulf was visible from almost every room. We loved sitting on the lanai watching the dolphins while we had our morning coffee. The kitchen was fully equipped for cooking and there are also many restaurants nearby. A Publix grocery store is located within walking distance. Below the condo there is a grassy area with tiki huts and lounge chairs and in a couple of steps you're on a white sandy beach stretching for miles. Fort Myers Beach is great for walks, runs and shelling. A barbecue area is conveniently located near the grassy area. The beds were very comfortable. We left the windows and doors open at night to hear the ocean waves. We took many pictures of the stunning sunsets from the lanai and the beach area. A large heated pool was great for swimming. Beach towels were included at the condo. Thanks Jim for your help in making our week special. We will return to your condo again!!

Jim was very friendly, helpful, and extremely efficient in his communication with me. The check in process was very quick and simple. The condo was very clean and comfortable.

Wonderful Condo
My husband and I stayed at Jim's condo in early October. It was very clean and comfortable with a great view from the lanai of the Gulf along with a lovely palm tree. Unbelievable views of the sunset too. The king-size bed was very comfortable and there were plenty of towels (including beach towels), along with beach chairs. Convenient to the Publix grocery store and a short drive to many restaurants. Pool, shuffleboard and a putting green were all well maintained. We also really liked the BBQ area - plenty of seating and the grills (4) were very clean. We had a very nice vacation amid the pandemic, and we recommend this condo wholeheartedly! Thanks Jim!

Our vacation was immensely successful.
The location of our vacation stay was the Smugglers Cove Condominium. The condo we stayed in was owned by Mr. Jim Horton and lived up to every expectation we had envisioned based on his thorough explanation of what his unit was like. Smugglers Cove is centrally located on Estero Island with a really nice Publix Grocery within a short distance from the condo units. The management team at Smugglers Cove is top notch and readily available to answer and adhere to any needs a renter would have. My wife and I would definitely like to visit Smugglers Cove in the future...God willing.

Great location on the island, within walking distance to a Publix. No chain or fast food restaurants, but the local restaurants are wonderful. Heated pool and close parking. Kitchen fully stocked for eat in convenience. Brand new appliances. Quite and very relaxing. We have already reserved for 2021!

Best place ever
Our family couldn’t be more happy with staying here. If you want to be right on the ocean and have a home away from home then this place you won’t be disappointed. The sound of the waves at night from the balcony is so relaxing , getting to see the dolphins and most of all you are directly on the beach . If you need to go back to your room to get a snack or just grab something literally takes a couple mins . The views from your room is so pretty . Everything you need to prepare your own meals , great friendly staff . And the owners are great and quick to get back with you . Thank you for allowing us to stay the extra day we had the best time , also thank you for sharing your condo with us and making this rhe best fort Myers beach vacation yet . We will def be back

Family Beach Oasis
We couldn’t have picked a better spot to spend the week away with our 2 year old. We could sit on our porch and enjoy the dolphins swimming by in the early mornings and had front row seats to the most amazing sunsets every night. The first thing we noticed upon arrival was that the interior of the condo was pristine. From the newly updated bathrooms and kitchen appliances to the comfortable furnishings we felt like this beach oasis could be your own home away from home. The grounds are meticulously kept and the convenient parking makes loading and unloading a lot of gear, groceries and a toddler feel easy. Whether you plan to relax all day at the beach/pool and dine out at night or cook in every night, this beautiful condo in Smugglers Cove will make it easy. Having powder white sand and the soothing sounds of an inviting ocean only a few feet away from your condo made this vacation one to remember and return to.

Extending Summer
In an effort to extend summer, my wife and I spent the month of November at the Smugglers' Cove Condominiums. The condo is right on the water and the view is terrific - watching the dolphins in the morning and sunsets in the evenings. The kitchen and bathrooms were recently updated with new appliances and fixtures. The condo unit itself was fully furnished and equipped - no need to bring anything except your beach wear. The town of FMB is just a couple of miles north and easy to get to - 70 cents if you take the local trolley. The buildings and the grounds are well maintained and provide a lot of extras: BBQ area with new grills, large pool, beach chairs, a shuffle board area and plenty of parking. THE BEACH! Clean white sand and great for walking or just sitting and taking in the view. Everything about the place is great including the people we met. Bottom line, greatly recommend it, you won't be disappointed!

Gorgeous and comfortable, with everything you need
This gorgeous place has a lot going for it. The view from the lanai is stunning, and the building is right on the beach, separated only by a grassy area (shady in the morning) perfect for lounging. The sandy beach itself is beautiful, and an excellent location for walking and swimming. The condo is tastefully and comfortably furnished (the recliner and couch are particularly comfortable). The kitchen is well equipped and conveniently arranged, and we also appreciated the access to the very nice grills in the common area outside. It was great to be on the second floor -- high enough for a good view, but easy for using the stairs (although there is also an elevator when needed). The building is perfectly located: not far from the bustling "Times Square" on one end of the island, but far enough to offer some peace and quiet. We also took advantage of the many fun restaurants in the neighborhood, and even made a day trip to nearby Sanibel Island. Jim and Marilyn were very helpful and accommodating when we made arrangements. Highly recommended!

The unit is tastefully decorated, constantly being updated and has all the amenities needed to make your stay hassle free and to feel like home! The location is on the quieter end of the island away from the hustle and bustle of downtown but still close enough and within walking distance of Publix supermarket.The pool is clean and always a great place to hang and make friends, the barbecue area is so convenient for those long lazy days on the beach when you don’t feel like going out and you can cook lunch or dinner and then end eat it ocean front in your own private lanai!The beach is my favorite spot! (Added bonus grass area with tiki huts) steps down to pristine white sand and amazing blue gulf waters! Ending each day with the spectacular sunsets!The owners are also wonderful and easy to deal with! The information and pictures provided is exactly how the unit looks, nothing misrepresented!If your looking for a beautiful relaxing and fun tropical vacation, a stay in this condo will not disappoint!My family and I are counting down until our return 11th trip!
