About 2199 Santiago Ave
There’s a feeling you get as you pull up to this Fort Myers waterfront home—a sense that you’ve stumbled onto something special. Set on an intersecting canal with direct access to the Caloosahatchee River and the Gulf of Mexico, this charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath home offers the rare combination of boating life, peaceful waterfront views, and immediate proximity to the growing and revitalized Downtown Fort Myers district. Just minutes away, the River District continues to evolve with new restaurants, waterfront dining, boutique shops, live music venues, expanded walkable streetscapes, and ongoing redevelopments that have transformed the area into one of Southwest Florida’s most vibrant destinations. Here, you can spend the morning fishing from your private dock, cruise the river in the afternoon, and be seated for dinner along the newly energized downtown riverfront by sunset. Inside, the home has been thoughtfully updated with luxury vinyl flooring, a modern kitchen with granite countertops and contemporary finishes, and an upgraded bath—blending coastal comfort with everyday functionality. Two inviting bedrooms offer peaceful retreats, while the open layout feels warm and effortless. Key improvements include a new A/C (2024), new fence (2023), wind-resistant windows, and roll-down storm shutters for excellent storm protection and peace of mind. With no HOA and no restrictions, the property offers full flexibility—ideal as a primary residence, seasonal escape, or short-term rental investment in one of Fort Myers’ most convenient waterfront corridors. Opportunities to own direct Gulf-access waterfront property this close to the expanding Downtown Fort Myers lifestyle are increasingly rare. Schedule your private showing today and experience the magic of waterfront living in the heart of Fort Myers.
