About this property

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

Fishbowl Lower is a beautifully renovated, ground-floor 2-bedroom, 1-bath apartment located in the serene Mid-Island area of Fort Myers Beach. Nestled in a quiet neighborhood and just a short walk between two beach access points, this peaceful retreat offers the perfect blend of relaxation and convenience. A nearby trolley stop provides easy access to the lively downtown area, home to the iconic Times Square, local restaurants, shops, and vibrant entertainment.

Inside, the apartment features a modern, fully equipped kitchen, a dining area that seats six, and a breakfast bar with three stools. The cozy living room offers a comfortable sofa bed, two armchairs, and a TV. Each bedroom also includes a TV, for a total of three throughout the unit. The bathroom has been stylishly upgraded, and the entire apartment has been freshly painted and tiled. For your convenience, a hairdryer and seven ceiling fans are provided.

Guests share a heated pool with the upstairs unit, but enjoy private amenities including a grill, washer and dryer. We also provide hotel-quality linens—professionally laundered for every stay—as well as beach essentials like towels, chairs, an umbrella, and a beach cart. Lastly, a spacious lanai offers a peaceful place to unwind.

Nearby, there are many water activities including fishing charters and snorkeling to parasailing and jet ski rentals. Plus, the close cities of Fort Myers, Bonita Springs, and Naples offer a wealth of shopping, dining, and sightseeing opportunities, and the Southwest Florida International Airport in Fort Myers is just a short drive away making for easy access to the island.

Come visit and make Fishbowl Lower your next perfect beach getaway!

Clean but lack of service/professionalism

The fish bowl lower was a newly renovated clean 2 bedroom. Great location. VRBO/CBVR advertised a full kitchen, but the range/oven died just past halfway through our stay and CBVR passed it off to an electrical contractor who told us we would have to contact the appliance manufacturer regarding the warranty. So we lost a full fridge of food, and didn't have a range/oven to use. Coastal Breeze never addressed. I would recommend elsewhere.

Property management was not good

When the door lock box would not work, I contacted Coastal Breeze Property and was first told that I was entering the wrong code (which I wasn’t). Then the following day when I had a problem again with the lock, I requested a maintenance person to come fix it, they never sent one. And on the third day, I called with the same problem, the girl I spoke with at Coastal Breeze told me to pull the door towards me when entering the code as a solution. I demanded a maintenance person come out and when he arrived, not only did he agree that the bold mechanism of the lock was catching in the door jam (which he had to remove) but that the reason the lock box wasn’t opening properly as well was because the batteries were almost completely dead. After all of this, at the very end of our stay, I contacted Coastal Breeze to ask for a late check out because our flights got delayed over 6hrs and their reply was that they could give me an hour for an additional $75. We checked out at 10am and spent the next few hours on the beach and when we came back well after 1pm, the cleaning crew hadn’t been there nor were there any new guests which were the reasons we were told we had to pay for one additional hour. I am aware when “peak” season is in FL and if there were guests needing to check in right after us, I also would understand BUT this wasn’t the case at all. We will not be recommending or renting with any properties managed by Coastal Breeze again!

Perfect accommodations for a girl's getaway!

Had a great stay at the Fishbowl. Perfect size for the three of us. Close to the beach with all of the things needed to go there (cart, towels, chairs, cooler). Very clean unit with all that was needed to use the kitchen. Shared pool with upper unit which was perfect for our after beach happy hours. Loved it and plan to go back! Great customer service and flexibility with our late flight out as well. We loved it!

Perfect size and accomodations for our getaway!

Our family of 4 stayed in the lower portion. The size was exactly as expected, spacious and clean. The fridge was spotless and all the kitchen accessories were provided to prepare/store food. The pool was very warm and had some goggles and toys for the kids. There was also a collapsable wagon with chairs flr the short walk to the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and as I write this, I am wishing I was back by that pool!!!
