Stay in downtown Fort Myers Beach

The Loft FMB sits on Third Street in downtown Fort Myers Beach, at the north end of Estero Island. The Gulf is a 2 to 3 minute walk away, and Times Square is about five minutes on foot. From here you can walk to the beach, waterfront restaurants, live music, shops and boat tours without moving your car.

Each of our three Fort Myers Beach vacation rentals includes a free parking space, beach chairs, umbrellas, a cooler, a wagon and free bikes, which makes The Loft an easy home base for exploring the island. We’re not beachfront, and that’s the point: you’re in the walkable heart of town, close to the sand and to everything else.

Why guests love staying at The Loft FMB

Location and walkability

  • Cute and clean 3rd floor apartment right near the beach and lots of restaurants/shops. Sleek decor and thoughtful supplies. The rocking chairs were perfect for relaxing on the private porch. I saw a rainbow in the morning almost every day! Chris and Jake were perfect hosts and the gardens were beautiful.

Beach gear and amenities

  • This is a 5 star location with five star rating hosts. It was a 4 min walk from the square. The house had all the beach essentials waiting for us, like beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, and even a wagon.

    Stephen, guest
