We are back and better than ever following Hurricane Ian! The Shell at Ocean Palms Retreat is a beautifully renovated 1 bedroom, 1 bath 1st floor apartment located mid island in a tranquil neighborhood. Two blocks to the beach mid way between two beach access points. Hotel style linens and towels to complement our plush pillow top mattress. Canal views from the windows. Manatee, dolphin and palm trees galore from your unit. Fully equipped kitchens with a Keurig Coffee Machine, additional seating for guests, high speed internet, WiFi, and streaming smart TV! Mid-Island white sugar sand beaches are the cleanest on the island. The shells in your unit were collected by us, locally on the beaches you will visit. Estero Island has numerous restaurants and night life for your choosing, and you are in the middle of it all location-wise. Water activities abound, with fishing charters, scuba and snorkel adventures, jet ski rentals, parasailing and other close by things to do. Fort Myers, Bonita Springs and Naples are all modern cities with plenty of shopping, dining and sightseeing to experience. The South West International Airport in Fort Myers is close by for convenience as well. While the beach is as inviting as ever, please note that the Fort Myers Beach area is rebounding from Hurricane Ian and not all amenities are available yet. Construction and rebuilding is present on the island and moving fast. The current status of restaurants and other amenities on the island is in a state of change and island amenities may not be available or operating. Pet friendly restrictions and fees apply.
