A 3-bedroom luxury corner unit on the quiet southern end of Fort Myers Beach, Santa Maria 300 is ideal for anyone who loves the water. Not only does this 3rd-floor luxury condo overlook a canal that leads to Estero Bay, but it’s also just a few minutes’ walk to the beach. And the spacious unit is beautiful and restful in its own right. The living room, for instance, is furnished with plush, plump sofas that invite you to sit down, sink back, and relax. There’s room for the whole gang to settle in and watch a movie on the HDTV and Blue Ray/DVD player. The living room opens onto the screened-in balcony, which is furnished with a dining table and chairs so that you can enjoy an alfresco meal while looking out toward the canal. Should you prefer to eat indoors, the dining table chairs are so comfortable that you’ll want to linger over a cup of coffee or a game of rummy long after dinner is over. Whether you plan to channel your inner Julia Child or simply reheat takeaway pizza, you’ll appreciate the convenience of the fully equipped kitchen. From appliances major and minor to cookware to tableware, the kitchen has it all. That includes enough storage space so that you can stock up on groceries at the beginning of your stay, rather than have to keep running out to the market. Among Santa Maria 300 other timesaving conveniences are a dishwasher, a washing machine, and a dryer; less time wasted on chores means more time to swim, sail, or laze in the sun! Or laze in bed, for that matter--and once you sprawl out on the primary bedroom’s king-size bed, you may never want to leave it! From the sumptuous bed, you can watch a favorite show on the wall-mounted TV or the boats parade by on the canal. The primary bedroom opens directly onto the balcony, so you can enjoy a romantic late-night drink under the stars without waking up everyone else. It also has spacious bathroom with plenty of storage for all your essentials. The 2nd bedroom is perfect for couples with a queen bed who will love having their own views of the canal--they just might get to see the friendly manatees who live among its waters! The 3rd bedroom is an office with a queen-size sleeper bed, making Santa Maria 300 well equipped to host up to 6 who want to vacation together. These bedrooms share the 2nd full-size bathroom. As restful as Santa Maria 300 is, you don’t come to Florida to spend most of your time indoors. The condo complex has plenty of amenities to help you make the most of the great outdoors. For starters, there’s an oversize heated pool--said by many to be the largest and most fabulous pool in all of Fort Myers Beach. When you’re not swimming in the pool--or soaking in the hot tub!--you can stretch out on one of the many poolside chaises. The complex also offers several outdoor dining areas, complete with gas grills for barbecuing your freshly caught snapper or trout… or steaks and hot dogs from the supermarket. No matter the meal, it’ll taste even more delicious when savored among the salt-tinged sea breezes! Santa Maria is next door to a marina, where you can rent all sorts of boats, from skiffs to powerboats, or book a fishing charter. It’s also less than a 5-minute walk to the beach and the Gulf of Mexico, where you can paddleboard or parasail, collect seashells or race jet skis. Other people have to load up the car with a day’s worth of gear to enjoy time at the beach; you’ll be able to saunter back and forth whenever you want. There’s so much more to see and savor when you stay at Santa Maria 300--too much for us to be able to detail here. You’ll just have to experience it for yourself… so go ahead and book your stay today! Note: the owner has optional boat hoist that can be rented at $60 per week.
