🐾 Pet Friendly, Heated Pool, Gorgeous Renovation, Walk to the sugar sand of FMB!

We're back and better than ever following Hurricane Ian!

The Fishbowl Manor is a beautifully renovated 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom complex perfect for extended family or multiple families traveling together. The Manor consists of 2 apartments in the same building. The Manor sleeps 16 total people!

The Upper apartment is a beautifully renovated 3 bedroom (1 king, 1 queen and 2 bunk beds) sleeping 8 people in beds and has a sofa sleeper in the living room to sleep two more. It has 2 bathrooms and is located on the 2nd floor.

The Lower apartment has 2 bedrooms (1 queen, 2 twin beds) sleeping 4 in beds and has a sofa sleeper in the living room. It has 1 bathroom and is located on the 1st floor.

The Manor is perfect for family and friends traveling together but wanting their own private space to relax. Booking both apartments together at one time will save you money over booking each independently and you'll have the certainty of all units being reserved at one time.

The property just a quick walk to the beach mid-way between two beach access points. We provide hotel quality linens that are always professionally laundered and fresh for your stay. Located in a quiet neighborhood in the much desired Mid-Island, is just short trolley ride to downtown Fort Myers Beach where you find the famous well-known Fishing Pier and Times Square plus plenty of restaurants, pubs, shoppes and entertainment.

The heated pool is shared with the upper level but there is a private grill and washer/dryer. Beach items are provided such as a cart, towels, umbrella & chairs. Roomy lanai for relaxing.

Water activities abound with fishing charters, scuba and snorkel adventures, jet ski rentals, para-sailing, etc. Fort Myers, Bonita Springs and Naples are all modern cities with plenty of shopping, dining and sight seeing to experience.

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.

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.

Sorry no spring break groups allowed except families!

Dog friendly restrictions and fees apply. Dogs are permitted up to 25 lbs and non-aggressive breeds only with pet fee paid in advance. Limit of two. Fee applies.

Wonderful Home Away From Home
This house was amazing. It had everything we needed for a week’s stay with our family. House was beautiful, pool was very clean, and just a small walk across the street to the beach! Communication with the rental company was very prompt and friendly. I would 💯 recommend this house to any family.

Multi family vacation
It was good, I would have preferred that the two units connected inside along with outside. Also the lower level bathtub did not drain very well and we could see hair in the drain causing the clogging. The unit as a whole could use more plastic drink wear for outside use.

Exceeded our expectations
Our multi-generation family stayed for the week and this house has everything you would ever need. The beach is maybe a 3-4 min walk across the street, entering at public access 15. Neighborhood beach goers mainly. The house was laid out nicely w a screened porch out front which was well used. Quiet mornings w coffee and sunset sky’s at night. Linens were plentiful. Washer/dryer upstairs and down, which was super convenient. Kitchens were well stocked. Property provided a beach wagon which we really appreciated since we traveled w 6 grandchildren. The only inconvenient issue is the refrigerator door swings the wrong way in the upstairs kitchen. It made it very challenging to access. I highly recommend this property, we would stay again for sure. The pool was a nice treat and was enjoyed by all as well

We were a little worried when we first arrived, as the outside of the property was pretty rough. We were pleasantly surprised once we got inside as the inside of the property was clean and updated.

Family Easter at FMB
Our family of 11 (6 adults & 5 kids) very much enjoyed our time at The Fish Bowl at Fort Meyers Beach mid island. Property wise there were a few things that required attention from the owners when we arrived but every issue was immediately addressed & resolved. Communication is the key!! Location to the beach was just a quick walk (less than 5minutes) so while at the beach if someone needed to go back to the house for something it didn’t take long at all. The kitchen is extremely well stocked with any utensils necessary for preparation meals. And there are 2-7/11 C-stores plus a Publix grocery store just a few minutes away. The heated pool was nice to have at the end of a hot afternoon on the beach! Very quiet neighborhood too! Mid Estero island is perfect for families. We would recommend the Fish Bowl!

Amazing house close to the beach
The fishbowl was an amazing house for our large crew! We had 7 adults and 7 kids total. We rented the entire house, so it was perfect for us! The heated pool was a great added bonus when we were too burnt from the sun and wanted to relax! The beach is literally across the street! You cant get anymore convenient than that, unless you want to pay big bucks! Anytime I needed to ask questions the manager answered immediately! All around perfect getaway/experience for our family! And can the name get any better?!?!

Listing was not accurate
There was a room that was listed as having a queen bed and 2 twin beds in the same bedroom. This was not true. We moved 2 twin mattresses to accommodate the 2 small children we had planned to stay in this room with their parents. Coastal Breeze charged us 125.00 for solving this problem ourselves. Also there were no sheets for one of the pull out sofas. We did not expect to find inaccurate info in a VRBO listing.

Nice home
We enjoyed the property. Lots of space. It was clean. Beach is a short walk. My only disappointment was that there’s never any sun at the pool. Its basically shaded all day. So, we just spent more time at the beach! Just would’ve used the pool more had there been sun. Just so other potential renters are aware.

Perfect place for family
We come down to enjoy a week at FMB every year to spend time with family. I am so glad we found The FishBowl! It was extremely clean, spacious and welcoming for our family. Our kids enjoyed the pool & such a short walk to the beach. We are already talking about booking again, next year! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Family time at The Fishbowl
We rented both units, there was 14 of us. Everyone had plenty of space for hanging out, sleeping, eating. Three minute walk to beach was perfect. Pool area was nice and private. Everything you could need for cooking was provided. Just wish they left extra toilet paper, lol.

Wonderful home!!!
This two apartment house was great! We had two families,both with children ranging ages from 4-11. The place was clean and we'll equipped with your essential items( pots,pans,utensils,coffee maker) they provided a small start off pack of dish detergent, laundry detergent, paper towel and dish washer detergent. Which was great. There is about a short five minute walk to the beach which is awesome. They provide beach chairs,umbrellas, boogie boards and sand toys to use along with a wagon to take to the beach if needed.... The pool was great. There is a shopping area right down the road. About a 5-10 min drive depending on the traffic. Overall it was a wonderful area and a great time!!

Absolutely wonderful!
We booked the Fishbowl on VRBO and we are so glad we did! It was my husband and I, my daughter, son in law and their 2 boys along with my son, daughter in law and their daughter and son. It is a duplex so we booked both the upper and lower units. We hung out downstairs most of the time because of pool access but they all slept upstairs so if someone needed quiet time there was that space for them. The pool was great, the location was walking distance to the beach and they supplied wagons, chairs and toys. The neighbors were welcoming and helpful. We were close to a Publix so utilized the grills and hung out. It was a great location and we would go back. FreiCoxFamilyVacation
