    Mimi the dancing Real Estate Assistant

    Miss Mimi has been rather rambunctious this afternoon.She was doing so well yesterday and behaved on the Fort Myers Beach and schmoozed with a golden retriever and a very friendly bulldog.As a result I gave my card to the owner who is looking for a small fun vacation home in the near future.

    After some complicated negotiating she agreed on a bonus in the form of a humbugger.But this afternoon she was a terror. All this Real Estate stuff is maybe getting to her.

    Fort Myers Beach and Estero Island journal

    If you are looking for a more Jimmy Buffet life style of slacking Fort Myers Beach is the place. The island also known as Estero Island is not trendy Captiva or Sanibel island, nor does it want to be.

                           2008_0106FMBDowtown0034

    When my wife and I first moved from Old Town Naples, we were looking for an island which had more moderate prices and  had more down to earth quality and kept its heritage with its older cottages, its fishing with its largest commercial port in the area located along the narrow Matanza Pass  and its formidable Calusa Indian history.

                           2008_0106FMBDowtown0032

      This Jimmy Buffet life style area filled with shops and countless restaurants and bars applies only to the downtown of Fort Myers Beach or Town Square.

                           2008_0106FMBDowtown0045

     

    The rest of the island does not follow the same image and is filled with renovated old fashioned cottages and pilling homes, quiet homes along canals or along the pristine Estero Bay and of course manicured condominiums.Following is a link of a few condos and single homes on the island. This link is available for 30 days only from the date of this post.For more listings or information about Fort Myers Beach Real Estate contact me. View Listings

    We often go and mix with the crowd in Town Square or at The Lighthouse, which is a fun motel with a colorful tiky bar and pool where you can watch sports or just smooze about and take  a dip which having one of these froo froo drinks. A fun place to kick back and hear some music in the open air.Lighthouse Tiky Bar Fort Myers Beach

                            2008_0106FMBDowtown0001

    There is also that dreamy confectionary where the aroma from fresh made chocolate and fudge pours into the street of Fort Myers Beach Time Square.Its called Kiwin's and its worth the taste.Kilwin's Icp Llc. In moderation if you can! The ice creams are also just out of this world.

      Then we can look for some calm along the 7 mile beach. It feels relaxing to get away from it all and just watch the waves and just smile and dream away with sand between your toes. maybe we will catch a dolphin frolicking about.

    Happy Hunting!

    Going Wild

     

    I first met Azi some four years ago when he moved near my home, to a duplex, the small first floor unit. He was saving as much as he could and finally in December 2006, he accomplished his dream. He opened "Going Wild," a Fort Myers Beach boutique located at the corner of Crescent street and Estero Boulevard. After a few obligatory years in the Israeli Army, he took a gamble and moved to Miami in his early 20's and learned about retail and professional painting from his uncle. Fort Myers Beach seemed the natural choice to start his new life.

     

     

    Going Wild offers all sorts of fun beach and island wear, paint brushed shirts, Henna tattoos, glasses, towels, swim wear, summer skirts and shorts for the ladies (which I got once for the heck of it..I mean the Henna tatoo!) but mostly its a beach store with affordable price tags.

    Being a Business owner and facing a stagnant economy is not something that scares Azi. After all, any endeavor must seem easy compared to serving in the Israeli Army.

    A moment of Zen in Fort Myers Beach

      

     

         Like many I have a place of refuge and a place where we can have "fun" or refill my batteries.

    When I lived in large cities like New York I used to go to Central Park or stay on top of my building roof top

    and kick back and look at the Empire State Building. The noise of the city was always omnipresent and vibrant.

    When I moved to Fort Myers Beach of course I was looking for the feel of the sand under the feet and the salt in the air.

    But, what really drawn me, like so many, is the sound of the waves. Today very few were strolling along the beach, the

    sky was full with clouds and I found some peace there again. We can just look at the immense sea and smile.

    You heard that same sound many years ago, relentless and powerful and memories come back and forth

    like the to and fro of the waves. Its a good time to be.

    Happy Hunting!
