About this property

Gateway Villas #494 - "Sandcastle Villa" 2 Bedroom Beachfront

  • Welcome to Sandcastle Villa — your rare corner-unit beachfront escape. Located on the desirable north end of Fort Myers Beach, this beautifully remodeled two-bedroom, two-bathroom condo sits directly on the sand at Gateway Villas, so there are no roads to cross or long walks with beach gear. As a corner unit, it offers something no hotel room can match: windows in every room, incredible natural light from multiple exposures, and two private balconies with views you won’t find anywhere else.

    The main beachfront balcony showcases sweeping Gulf views and a side view of the pool thanks to the corner layout. It’s the perfect spot for morning coffee, lazy afternoons, and sunset evenings — and it’s not uncommon to spot dolphins along the shoreline right from your chair. The second balcony offers a unique vantage point with bay, pool, and beach views, including a postcard-worthy look at the San Carlos Bridge glowing at night.

    Inside, modern luxury meets coastal comfort. The open living room features a sleeper sectional sofa, smart TV, and floor-to-ceiling sliders that fill the space with natural light. The fully equipped kitchen offers white cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a relaxed breakfast bar, and a Keurig, drip coffee maker, and Cuban coffee maker so you can start your mornings exactly how you like. The primary bedroom includes two queen beds, a flat-screen TV, and a spa-inspired en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower and illuminated mirror. The guest bedroom features a comfortable king bed and easy access to the second full bathroom with warm, inviting finishes.

    To make your stay feel like a true home away from home, the condo is stocked with family games, kids’ beach toys, beach chairs, a cooler, a beach umbrella, and a beach wagon for effortless trips to the sand. You’ll also be welcomed with a complimentary bottle of wine, and a Bluetooth speaker is provided to set the perfect vacation vibe. Additional conveniences include an in-unit washer and dryer, complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi, free private parking, and exclusive access to the heated beachfront pool.

    When you’re ready to explore, Times Square is just a 10-minute beachfront walk away, offering waterfront dining, boutique shops, and live entertainment. The new Margaritaville Resort is also an easy 11-minute walk, where guests can enjoy open-to-the-public outdoor fireplaces, live music, and a fun tropical atmosphere — completely free. Whether you’re relaxing on the balconies, enjoying easy beach days, or strolling into town for dinner and sunset music, Sandcastle Villa offers the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and true on-the-sand living.

    For your comfort and convenience, all linens, beach chairs, and umbrellas are included and provided throughout the duration of your stay.
    Our prices include all fees — no hidden fees.

Condo was outstanding. Great view in a great location. It was very convenient to restaurants and entertainment. Furniture and furnishing in the condo were new; bathrooms were beautifully updated and fully equipped. Kitchen was new and well equipped. Parking was convenient. Highly recommend this condo and would not hesitate to stay in it in the future.

Place was great! Beautiful view and nice short walk to ‘the action in town’, Great screened in deck with amazing views of ocean!! The unit was stocked with a wagon, 2 beach umbrellas and 6 chairs, that was amazing!! Communication and rental process was effortless and smooth. I think the AC in unit might need to be looked at as it ran constantly and could never get cooler than 75 degrees, even at night. 2 minor suggestions are to add a dresser to bedroom under tv as there was no where to unpack anything that was not being hung. Second minor suggestion is a non stick fry pan, everything stuck to the pan like crazy. Thanks for a great place, we enjoyed it!!

The view of the ocean was excellent. This unit that we stayed in was perfect for our family. It was also very convenient that they had San toys, a wagon, beach, chairs, and umbrella. Also beach towels. Made it easier on the packing. We would definitely go back.
