    Curb Appeal and income property in Fort Myers Beach

    This home located in Fort Myers Beach used to have river rocks or crushed stones for its driveway. I think that one of the reason it sold this year is because the previous owner changed the driveway to cobble stones.The attractive type with rounded edges. From the street the home has now more elegance.

    I am not saying that it was the only reason it sold but it attracted the new owner to take a closer look. It is now a rental property. A very good one. For more information here is the website link:

    Talking about Wordless Monday: island life

    Wordless Monday: island life

    Why are so many drawn to islands? Perhaps we just want to be away from cities? That is one of the reasons why Fort Myers Beach  has been my home for nearly ten years.We also call it Estero Island. I call it home.  Its just a hop on Sky Bridge to Fort Myers. You can smell the salt in the air. Water is everywhere. It embraces your life and makes you smile.

    Panorama of Fort Myers Beach and waterfront homes for sale

      Fort Myers Beach has attracted many and for good reasons. Located along the Gulf Of Mexico, the island of Fort Myers Beach  or Estero island is one of the renowned jewel of Southwest Florida. This small 7 miles plus barrier island packs a solid punch. In this buyers market the island has seen a strong jump in property sales. For good reasons.

          

     

      Home investors, first time buyers and these relocating understand that Fort Myers Beach Real Estate is a good investment. Europeans and Canadians among others also know about Fort Myers Beach tropical allure. One of the major reasons, besides the obvious with its 7 mile white sand beach, canals, marinas, lively downtown and night life is that there are no bad areas in Fort Myers Beach.Because of its narrow width, any property is close to the beach and the bay.

    Also Fort Myers Beach is known as one of the safest beaches in Florida.

       Fort Myers Beach Waterfront Homes

    There are signs that we have hit bottom and that Fort Myers Beach home value, even though still very attractive, is in its leveled phase and many believe that deals will be harder to find in 2010. We have still deals and if you are looking for a strong investment or just a new home, don’t wait to long.

    Decorative art in homes in Cape Coral, Matlacha and Fort Myers Beach

     

      There are many ways to beautify a home or give it that personal touch. These piece were shot from Matlacha, Fort Myers Beach, Pine island and Cape Coral and  Floridians certainly don’t lack imagination.

    Some exterior decorative pieces are plain whimsical, others tell something about the owner and others add this Floridian touch. What is beautiful is personal. There are no rules. One thing it does do is tell a story. Is it  southwest Florida art?

    You be the judge. But then what is Art?

    View from Sky Bridge

    As one drives from Fort Myers on San Carlos Boulevard you will be offered a treat. Little by little, as your car climbs Sky Bridge,  you will be able to get a full view of Fort Myers Beach. Yesterday, I decided to take a few shots from the very top of the bridge. This time I walked. One can take their time and enjoy a panoramic view of Fort Myers Beach and its canals fingering  the island with salt water  all the way towards Estero Boulevard, which runs parallel to the Gulf  and, beyond, the Gulf Of Mexico.
