The Creekside and her sister Cypress Cottage are two of the original Cottages built in 1950 that made up the popular Pink Shell Resort on Ft. Myers Beach now known as Pink Shell Beach Resort and Spa. In the late 70’s the resort expanded and needed space and rather than destroy the tiny cottages the owners where offered them free of charge to anyone willing to bear the cost of relocation. In 1979 Flint & Dole moved these two Cottages to their present location. According to the Estero Island Historic Society the Cottages were constructed with local “Island Mahogany”. Current owners purchased the property in December 2013 and began remodeling Creekside in 2014. After the renovations to Creekside were complete the process of converting the other into Cypress Cottage began.
