About this home

True Direct Gulf-Front. Completely Renovated. Move-In Ready. Experience beachfront living from a residence that delivers what many properties simply cannot—a true direct Gulf-front orientation. Perched on the ninth floor of Island Winds, this beautifully renovated 2-bedroom, 2-bath condominium offers panoramic western views of the Gulf of Mexico from the living room, primary suite & private lanai. Unlike many beachfront residences where the lanai angles along the shoreline, this home faces directly toward the Gulf, creating uninterrupted water views & spectacular sunsets. Completely renovated within approximately the last five years, the residence showcases large-format porcelain tile flooring throughout, updated doors, trim, baseboards, lighting, custom closet systems & a timeless coastal design. The redesigned kitchen features shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a full-height designer tile backsplash, illuminated tray ceiling & an expansive peninsula offering abundant prep space & multiple seating areas. The open design flows seamlessly into the dining area & Gulf-front living room, where impact-rated sliding glass doors frame the beach & Gulf beyond. The covered lanai extends the living space outdoors, while the Gulf-front primary suite enjoys its own private balcony overlooking the water. The renovated ensuite bath features dual quartz vanities, illuminated mirrors, contemporary fixtures & a walk-in shower with frameless glass enclosure. The guest bedroom also features its own private balcony, offering an additional outdoor retreat, while the renovated guest bath continues the home's cohesive design with quartz countertops & contemporary finishes. Additional updates completed within approximately the last five years include the HVAC system, water heater, appliances, impact-rated windows & sliding glass doors, interior finishes & custom closet systems. Island Winds has completed a new roof along with all structural improvements recommended through Florida's milestone inspection process, providing buyers confidence that significant building improvements have already been addressed. Community amenities include direct beach access, Gulf-front pool & spa, fitness center, tennis, pickleball, temporary boat mooring, assigned covered parking, extra storage & professional on-site management. Located on one of Fort Myers Beach's widest stretches of sugar sand near the south end of Estero Island, Island Winds offers convenient access to Lovers Key State Park, Bonita Springs, Naples, shopping, dining & Southwest Florida International Airport. With true direct Gulf-front views, two private bedroom balconies, a Gulf-front lanai, a comprehensive renovation & completed building improvements, this residence offers an exceptional opportunity to own a move-in-ready beachfront home where the quality of the interior matches the quality of the view.

Total association fees sums the core association dues the MLS feed provides (HOA, condo/master association, and land lease), normalized to a yearly figure. These are separate from and additional to specialty charges — mandatory club or food-and-beverage minimums, special assessments, and rec-lease fees — which the IDX feed does not carry. Always confirm the full fee schedule with the HOA or listing agent.

Flood risk shown is an area-level estimate and can differ from a specific unit's actual FEMA designation (which varies by structure and elevation). Look up this address on the FEMA Flood Map and verify with a licensed insurance agent before relying on it.
