Welcome to the Sand Caper #208! A resort-style condo located at the quiet southern end of Estero Island featuring 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and a spacious open floor plan. This adorable beach condo is the perfect place to get away and enjoy the salt life! The location is wonderful with numerous restaurants and night life within walking distance as well as a CVS. Your stay at Sand Caper will definitely provide the potential for an unforgettable getaway! Please understand that due to hurricane Ian, Fort Myers Beach (and our building) is still in a reconstruction phase. There are many shops, bars and restaurants open and the beach is as beautiful as ever, but there is construction going on in our building and around the entire beach as it rebuilds. Our unit is in perfect shape, the building has been painted, the elevator is working, but the pool is still being re-done as well as the landscaping and parking area. The units that were on the first floor were completely destroyed, so there will be some noise as the reconstruction takes place. It hasn't been that bad, but please keep this in mind when booking and staying. Thanks for your support and patience. Also, please note that while we love our furry friends, per our HOA regulations, pets are not allowed. Service animals and ESA will be considered, but we have to provide the information to the board a minimum of two weeks prior to your stay for approval. An unapproved animal will not be allowed in the unit. Please message us before booking if you are going to be traveling with a service or emotional support animal. As you enter the property, you are greeted with a charming covered seating area on the front porch and the main floor has an atrium that opens to the sky, 7 stories up, with tropical foliage in the center.
