Cornerstone is the perfect spot on the beach with only eight, one bedroom and four, two bedroom condos. Each condo is privately owned, most are decorated and furnished similar. I make the reservations for them all. At Cornerstone it never seems crowded. Rates and availability shown are for two bedroom condos. Please see listing #689 for one bedroom rates and availability. We book 11 months out, allowing current guest the opportunity to rebook. We do not offer weekly or monthly discounts. We have a daily rate based on seasonal demand, add tax (11.5%) and a one time cleaning fee. We do not allow any pets.
All of our luxurious, romantic Ft. Myers Beach condos have direct views of the beach and gulf. There is a large heated pool servicing 12 individually owned condos. This suite contains a full kitchen, TVs, DVD player, radio, password protected internet, king size bed, queen size sofa sleeper, in room safe and a washer/dryer. The bathrooms have a beautiful tile walk in shower. There is a welcome packet with soaps, shampoo and conditioner, paper products and enough coffee for your first pot in the morning and Tide for your first load of laundry.
Views from every screened lanai include breathtaking sunsets, dolphins swimming by, shore birds, boats and parasailers. Once out of the private fenced in pool area you will be only steps to the water's edge and we provide the beach towels, beach chairs, small cooler and an umbrella too! We allow short term rentals for those spur of the moment vacations. Take advantage of those great airfares that are offered in the middle of the week because our rentals are not restricted to Saturday to Saturday check ins or check outs. We have a three day minimum however, once you arrive you are not going to want to leave!
Please check our rates on the rate page. The rates change depending on the seasons .
We do not negotiate rates or offer any discount. They only change for seasonal demand. We have a management company will be available to you while we continue to rebuild the offices. I have been using them since we bought our condo in 2004. They are there just in case there are any issues that need to be taken care of while you are on vacation. It is peace of mind for me and for you too.
If you want to see some of FL’s best wildlife this is a good place to start. From the condo you can watch pelicans cruising by or dolphins swimming right out in front. Other visitors to our beach included ibis, egrets, gulls, & willets. For a more daring treat a few vendors offer parasailing and wave runner rentals.
There is a full wall of sliding glass doors that open up to the screen lanai. You will have direct full views of the beach and gulf.
Once you walk out of the heated pool gate you are on the beach and we have beach chairs, umbrella, small cooler and beach towels in your condo for you to use.
I am very familiar with the area and happy to answer any questions. Vacation time is to precious to be disappointed in your accommodations or the location. I know once you get to Cornerstone you will not want to leave.
Cornerstone is located in the quiet mid-island area about 3 miles south of Times Square and 1/2 mile south of Publix grocery store.

If you want to be on the beach in Ft. Myers, in a quiet area, with many amenities, then this is the place to rent. A quiet condominium building, right on the beach, a pool, free parking, no resort fee, and a Great View! The condo had everything that we needed. The bed was very comfortable. There are plenty of restaurants around and a grocery store just up the street. It was exactly what we were looking for.

Jo Ann B.Great staff
Had a 2 bedroom condo rented from January 8th - 21st, and had to cancel because my husband had some medical issues that needed some attention, called and Spoke to James at Cornerstone Condos, he was very friendly and easy to speak to about canceling our trip, he let us cancel and gave us back most of our deposit, so thank you James , we very much appreciated it, would definitely rent from cornerstone again!

Cornell S.Dated but wonderful
Clean, quiet and convenient. If you don’t want to be in the mess of traffic and crowd of “Times Square,” this is a perfect rental and spot. Incredible value for being right on the beach.

Denise H.Impressed
We stayed at the Cornerstone Beach resort for 5 nights. From the moment we walked in, we were impressed. The condo was PERFECT and the view was amazing! It had all the cooking implements we could ask for. If you are planning on using an Uber, have alternate plan (not a reflection on the condo, just the availability of transportation). That being said. It is only a 3 mile walk to the more lively area for some nightlife, but just enjoying the quiet of our area was desirable as well. I would definitely stay here again, without a doubt!!!

Joseph L.Sooooo Fun!!!!
We stayed for a long weekend to get away! What a great trip. Hotel was clean and sanitized! Pool was warm. Outdoor bar was amazing! A Band/Singer every night! Some other reviewers complained about the noise. But we had the end room over looking the bar and it wasn't bad at all. The music stop by 10pm. Beach was soft silky white sand. Sunsets were to die for! Overall great location, great accommodations! We will be back!!

Darrell R.Quiet, peaceful retreat, with wonderful ocean views.
Really enjoyed using this condo as a base for some house hunting in Southwest Florida. The condo was clean and inviting with everything you could need for a weeks stay. We really enjoyed coming back in the evening and sitting on the screened in balcony to relax and enjoy the waves. Wonderful staff at check in and the on site ground keeper was friendly and informative. Thanks for a great week.

Megan L.Awesome Views
After being quarantined for so long we really needed this mini vacation. We had a wonderful time and the beach was absolutely beautiful. There were no crowds, the room was very clean and the maintenance crew was there often keeping the areas sanitized. If you would like a safe place to stay during these crazy times, this is definitely the place to be. The quiet and calm atmosphere of Cornerstone and the south end of estero island is really a wonderful time.

Thank you, I am glad you and your family enjoyed a break from all craziness going on in the world and you found Cornerstone just the spot. We are working hard to follow all the CDC recommendations to keep the condos and complex sanitized. Because there are only 12 condos at Cornerstone the pool never seems crowded and social distancing is easier the then it would be at a large hotel or a condo building with 50 other apartments. Thanks again and I hope you and your family decide to return.
Joseph C.Cornerstone Beach Resort... home but better!
My family and I have been vacationing in the Fort Myers Beach are for many years. Doing so we have been fortunate enough to stay at several places. Although it’s true that the accommodations are typically very nice I have to say that this is the first time I have been compelled to leave a review.We stayed at Cornerstone Beach Resort. I rented one condo and my mother another. Our stay was facilitated by Lori. I would liken her to a vacation guardian angel of sorts. She kept just enough contact with me to make sure that everything was nice and smooth.Cornerstone Beach Resort is directly in the middle of the island on Estero Boulevard and central to most things. The rooms at Cornerstone were clean and charming and spacious. They maintained the feeling of being “home” but with perfect weather. Plenty of sleeping space and a beautiful patio facing directly out at the beach and the Gulf of Mexico. We slept safe and sound. When we didn’t feel like enjoying the beach we stayed cool in the swimming pool area which was also clean and cool. About as close to a perfect stay as I could ask for.Trust me I could go on. This was easily one of our favorite stays and will absolutely stay there again. Thank you Lori for helping to make everything wonderful!

We are so glad you and your family enjoyed your stay. Cornerstone really is a great spot on Ft. Myers Beach and I am glad you finally found it! The building sits off of Estero Blvd, closer to the beach and away from traffic. Our heated pool faces the beach and it is easy to get to the gulf out of the pool gate. We have beach towels, chairs and umbrellas for you to use and we even keep a basket of sand toys for the little ones. Thanks for telling other guests about your vacation. Lori
Loreen L.Wonderful stay at Cornerstone
We enjoyed our stay at Cornerstone. Lori was ever so welcoming. Her wonderful communication and attention to detail made it a pleasure to work with her. The condo was comfortable, clean and well appointed. View of sunsets from the porch are a daily treat. Weather wasn't warm enough to swim in the pool. But the beach was delightful for long walks shelling and wildlife sightings. We hope to stay again. We highly recommend Cornerstone.

I am so glad you enjoyed your stay at Cornerstone and that you took the time to tell other prospective guests about your vacation. It can be a daunting task to find just the right spot to stay on the beach...and you found it! Please contact me again when you are ready for another vacation. We do keep the pool heater set at 87 degrees but once in a while (usually when it is very cold up north) it is too cool to swim. I hope during your next visit you will be able to take a dip. Lori
