About 789 San Carlos Dr
Wake up to a million-dollar view without fighting island traffic. This gorgeous 5-bedroom, 3-bath home offers all the charm of Fort Myers Beach living — just across the bridge, where life feels easier, breezier, and perfectly relaxed. Boaters will love the private dock and covered lift (rebuilt in 2018 with electricity), ready for days spent exploring the Gulf. The in-ground pool overlooks wide open water with views that stretch all the way to the beach — it’s the kind of backdrop that makes every sunset feel like a celebration. Inside, you’ll find an open-concept layout with stainless steel appliances and panoramic water views from the main living area. Elevated on pilons for peace of mind, this home features impact-resistant windows and doors plus brand-new Storm Smart roll-down screens (2024) — so you can enjoy carefree coastal living, even through storm season. The lower level has been transformed into a casual second living space with an open-air kitchen and elevator — perfect for entertaining, guests, or creating separate rental potential. With its flexible layout and unbeatable location, this home is ideal for an investor, snowbird, family, or Airbnb host looking for strong rental appeal. Just over a mile to the beach, close to shopping, dining, Route 41, and only 20 miles to RSW International Airport — this is truly the best of Fort Myers Beach living, without compromise.
