About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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

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 sleeping a total of 16 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.

Located in the serene Mid-Island area of Fort Myers Beach and nestled in a tranquil neighborhood 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.

When booking The Manor, guests enjoy a private heated pool and other 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 The Fishbowl Manor your next perfect beach getaway!

Sorry no spring break groups allowed except families.

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.

Great remodel, perfect for a group of two families! Beach is right across the street! Unfortunately, it is located in the middle of the island, therefore traffic was the only issue getting off the bridge! Very responsive and great communication throughout our stay.

Great space!

The house is very spacious and well set up for a large group. The 2 apartments do not connect on the inside and the upstairs apartment is much larger and was our main eating/ cooking space. We had 2 families sharing the house, and it was nice to have some separation when needed. The pool is relatively small and felt very small with just 5 kids and 3 adults in it! Important to know if traveling with many older kids/ teenagers. The beach was a 2 minute walk across the street- and the house came with 2 wagons, chairs, an umbrella to take to the beach. The kitchen upstairs was well stocked, not so much with the downstairs kitchen. We cooked in several times and had what we needed to do so! Unfortunately the house was not clean enough when we arrived. The managing company was responsive and sent a cleaning crew back out the next day but it was disappointing to arrive and feel like we needed to run the vacuum and mop the floors when we got there. Communication with the managing comapny was decent but a maintenance person showed up unexpected, and the cleaning crew showed up without warning. Small details, but always nice to know when to expect strangers to show up to the house you're staying in! Overall I would stay here again- it was a great week and a very nice house right by the beach!

Fish Bowl Manor was terrific! Our family stayed 14 days and loved the house. It had plenty of room for our large family. The apartment downstairs was perfect also. We all enjoyed the pool and the walk to the beach was only about 2 minutes. 1 minute on a bike. We had a few issues with the air and a TV but they were very quick to resolve them. We would love to stay again. The Brackett Family

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.

Excellent beach vacation

Great experience with Coastal Breeze Vacation Rentals during our stay in Fort Myers Beach. Starting with the staff itself, they were great every time we needed something or had any questions. Their responses were fast and efficient. Moving on to their property “The Fishbowl”, it was a perfect spot. Location is unbeatable just across the street from beautiful and peaceful beach. The property is not lacking any space for big groups, and has everything you Wed to enjoy your beach vacation. Publix is less than 1/2 mile for getting groceries as well.Overall it was awesome. Thank you!

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.

Lots of space

The house was clean and well equipped. They have wagons and chairs etc for the beach. Its a short, easy walk to the beach. The house has plenty of room and beds for a big group. My only “negative” was that the pool never gets any sun. Its shaded all day long. Other than that the place is great!

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.

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

Amazing place. We would absolutely stay again!

This place was great. Truly a block from the beach. The beach was not crowded at all so we have plenty of space to spread out. The pool was so nice to have. We rented the whole place which is like 2 seperate apartments. We were able to use all 8-9 beach chairs and both wagons when we went to the beach. Plenty of beach towels too. There is a Publix about a mile away as well as a cvs. There are not restaurants real close that we found. But we had a car to get to the 4-5 miles away to the restaurants. We saw a trolley/bus that we heard you can use to get to the downtown area but we did not look Into it or use it. The kitchen has most everything you will need. Beds were comfortable. I highly recommend the fishbowl.

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!
