8214 Private Beach House w/ Heated Pool & Ocean Views!
Papa's Boat House Fort Myers Beach, FL 24-0080
This luxury, three-story entire house sits on the south end of Estero Island that comprises Fort Myers Beach, far from the crowds of Margaritaville and Time's Square. Savor your morning coffee while overlooking 180-degree, unobstructed views of the Gulf of Mexico and beach from the furnished balcony. Watch the egrets and ibis birds hunt for fish in the estuary. Wander out the back door to the ocean and spy dolphins along the shore or lazily gather seashells on the white sandy beach. Swim in the private, heated saltwater pool protected by a screened lanai or read and doze on one of the many lounge chairs. This newly-renovated house sleeps 10 people with 4BR/4Baths: two king-sized beds, two queen-sized beds, and a sofa-bed in a den. Awaken to breathtaking beach views from three of the five beds. Three of the bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms. Pamper yourself in the spa-like master bathroom which features a deep Roman tub and an enormous, walk-in shower with a double showerhead and granite bench seating. Cook steaks and veggies on the balcony with the propane gas grill and relish dinner al fresco at the outdoor table as the sun sets over the ocean. The fully-stocked kitchen with granite countertops contains a walk-in pantry and all new appliances: electric range, stove, microwave, full-sized refrigerator, and dishwasher. In the soft, sandy beachfront backyard, play ladder golf or cornhole with the provided equipment. All bedrooms boast 40” Roku smart TVs with a 55” Roku smart TV in the vaulted-ceiling great room, so in the evenings, you can stream your own Netflix movies on the Wi-Fi. Challenge a friend to a game of chess or Settlers of Catan with one of the many provided puzzles and board games. Use the private service elevator to bring your groceries or luggage upstairs (no people). A full-sized laundry sink, washer and dryer are available. The cavernous two-car garage and paved property easily accommodates free parking for a total of five vehicles. The house is two miles from Lover's Key State Park where you can rent kayaks to explore the bay. This exquisite, waterfront home is like having your own secluded, opulent sanctuary and represents a unique opportunity to make incredible vacation memories. Disclaimers: The house has two dozen stairs between the ground floor and the main floor and again between the main floor and the third floor. While there is an elevator for luggage, it is not for people. The island took the brunt of Hurricane Ian in 2022 and is still in the midst of rebuilding, thus guests may hear construction noise, including from the house next door.
This property accommodates parking for a maximum of 4 vehicle.
Coastal Vacation Properties manages individual rental units and is not responsible for any construction in neighboring units, surrounding areas, or on the beach. Following hurricanes Ian, Milton, and Helene, guests should anticipate ongoing construction throughout the island. This may include construction noise, nearby building projects, increased traffic, or beach restoration efforts. We want to ensure transparency—construction is beyond our control, and we will not be offering compensation or refunds due to these conditions. By booking, guests acknowledge and accept the possibility of construction-related impacts during their stay.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 4 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a sofa bed.

Beautiful place!
The house was comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed. We were pleasantly surprised to find chairs, umbrellas, and a cart to make our beach experience even more pleasant! Since the birds were nesting, it was a little hike to get to the beach, but well worth it. The pool was a hit! We had a wonderful time!

The best Florida experience we have ever had.
We checked in late at night due to our flights and it could not have been an easier process. The home is immaculate inside and out, the amount of beach and pool amenities was a wonderful surprise! We had a group of 9 and there is enough beach chairs and umbrellas to have a great time! The bedrooms in the home are perfectly decorated, and the views from the Master and Junior bedroom are incredible! We thoroughly enjoyed the well maintained pool! It is so nice to relax right next to white sand! Also the staff members were always available with answers to any questions we had. This was the best way for our family to enjoy a trip away from home, and this luxury home on a very private portion of Ft Meyers beach was more than we could have planned for! 10/10 we will be returning!

Beautiful beach home
Amazing house in a great location. Pool was good sized and enclosed. Easy access to the beach. Great view from the large balcony. House was great sized and perfect/comfortable for our family of 10. There were beach chairs, beach & pool toys in the garage for guest use which was convenient and appreciated! Would definitely stay there again

Truly a beach getaway!
The house is exactly as pictured. Kitchen was nicely stocked with utensils as well as pans and casserole dishes. Beach towels provided as well as adequate bath linens. The location is great being at the south end of FMB, much quieter and much less crowded. Traffic, if you're going northbound, can be a nightmare but we ended up driving south with no problem. Just a little further drive but it moves. Oh those stairs! Yes, there are many but we joked we were just working off vacation calories. Thank goodness for the elevator to carry up luggage and groceries. This was a great house and we would not hesitate to rent again.
