5 BR Heated, Private Pool - 2 Min. Walk to Beach in Fort Myers Beach

Perfect for 2 Families or Your Extended Family to Share! "The Anchorage" The perfect spot to drop your vacation anchor!

The perfect vacation spot to drop your anchor!
Just steps (less than one football field) to the powdery,
white, beach located directly across the road through a
private, tropical beach entrance.

Backyard, in-ground, private, heated (to 80 degrees F), swimming pool! Relax with a cold cocktail while sitting on one of the submerged stools, or maybe enjoying a fun game of water volleyball is more your style ...

You are sure to find a perfect balance of
relaxation and fun in the sun here on our
mid-island location on Fort Myers Beach, Florida!

Our lovely beach home is a duplex. It is perfect for two families vacationing together or
one big family to spread out! We refer to the two sides as Sunrise and Sunset which
together comprise The Anchorage. Our beach home boasts tasteful, tropical, airy
furnishings. Relax on the lanai, dine under the large umbrella-ed deck or take a cool
shower in your own private, outdoor shower. Just steps to the beach for some of the best
shelling in the country, midnight star gazing and awesome sunset celebrations all at half
the cost of staying beachfront. No need to worry about wandering
little ones; we have 2 beach carts to carry your treasures (kids, coolers, towels, chairs,
etc) to the beach effortlessly.

Heres the basic layout of our beach home which rents in its entirety.

Right Side (Sunset)

You can enter the right side of the house (Sunset) through the screened lanai. There are two bedrooms on the ground level floor. They are best described as suites. Both offer views to the in-ground swimming pool and have separate outdoor entrances. The suites can be connected to each other through a door that can be left locked for privacy or open for company. Each of these bedrooms has its own half bathroom, queen bed, living area consisting of chair, couch and TV as well as small lanai. Suite #2 has a bonus room consisting of shower, full sized washer & dryer, microwave and dorm refrigerator. The private, outdoor shower can be accessed through the hallway the leads to these bedrooms and upstairs.

Upstairs you will you find the family room, dining area with table that comfortably seats 10, kitchen, 2 decks, full sized laundry facilities, 2 bedroom (1 king and 1 queen), full bathroom and bar area with stools and dining area. Both decks are outfitted with tables and chairs. So, on the “Sunset” side, all 4 bedrooms are connected interiorly or can be locked out for privacy.

Sunset & Sunrise also have a set of double hung sliding barn doors that connect the upstairs main living areas which can be opened for convenient passage between the separate sides or closed for privacy (similar to adjoining hotel rooms that connect).

Left Side (Sunrise)

The left side of the house (Sunrise) has a separate, private entrance. Think of it as a private apartment. It contains a small deck with table and chairs, family room, full bathroom, bedroom (king), loaded kitchen, bar area with stools and dining area. Again, it does contain a sliding barn door that provides easy interior passage to Sunset if you leave the door open …

Our kitchens have everything you need and more:

refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, stove/oven, coffeemaker, toaster, blender,
silverware and dinnerware and all the gadgets you will need whenever you are cooking in.

So, to sum up the whole house,
5 bedrooms 2 kings and 3 queens
2 full baths + 2 half baths, 1 shower, 1 private outdoor shower
Sleeps 10
2 kitchens
There are two, full size laundry facilities one upstairs and 1 downstairs.

Our AC and ceiling fans throughout the house will be sure to keep everyone in cool
comfort.

All in all, this house offers extraordinary fun, comfort, and convenience to enjoy an
unforgettable vacation with your family and friends. It is absolutely perfect for couples,
families, and family reunions. Hope you can drop your anchor with us soon at The

How About a Piano Instruction Vacation Right on the Beach?

Return from your vacation with more than just photos: combine sun and fun with learning for a truly memorable getaway.

You are invited to unwind on one of the loveliest beaches around...

Stay in the Piano Guy's beach home (7 Time Emmy Award Winning host of public television's The Piano Guy with Scott Houston) located on Fort Myers Beach, Florida for your next vacation.

Have you always wanted to be able to sit down at a piano and play a few of your favorite tunes? Nows your chance.

Maybe this vacation will be one that will allow you to knock one of your lifelong dreams off your to-do list.

Whether you are a complete beginner or an accomplished player trying to hone your piano playing skills, take us up on our invitation for an extraordinary exclusive travel experience that includes a beach vacation that becomes the foundation on which you'll enhance or develop your piano playing abilities. Our beach home is set up with everything that you will need to accomplish this goal:


- Piano with headphones

- Scott's video instruction

- Fake books (the tunes)

- Scott's printed instruction books

All this is provided at no additional cost to you while you are our guest in our lovely beach home! There is a piano in both Sunrise and Sunset. You can work at your own pace in Scott's home on a gorgeous beach. Sounds like the perfect vacation, doesn't it! What? You say that you simply want to be a "beach bum" while on vacation, no problem. We can help you with that too!

The Anchorage is located on Estero Island, a seven-mile stretch of ocean- front which is filled with shopping, dining and entertainment. You can enjoy parasailing, jet skiing, volleyball pits, live music, eats and drinks all within walking distance.

Right down the street you will find nice recreational facilities including tennis courts, basketball, and a large pool and water park featuring water slides and lifeguards for the kids. For the adults there are 3 Olympic sized swim lanes!

My favorite beach activities are biking and running along the ocean while watching and listening to the dolphins splash beside you! Our daughter still loves blowing bubbles and the all-time favorite activity of flying a kite up and down the beach.

The Anchorage is located mid-island which provides a quiet, private, tropical beach experience, but is still close enough to Times Square (entertainment district) for the times when you want to take a walk on the "wilder side." Here at the Anchorage, you will be sure to find a perfect balance of relaxation and fun in the sun! The Anchorage is only a 2
min. drive from a Grocery store (approx. mile.) A pharmacy, movie theater and medical Center are also close. Since the SW Regional International Airport (RSW) is only about a 25-30 minute drive (19 miles) with available taxi, shuttle and limousine services readily
available, transportation is never a problem.

This is an awesome location on the island, a beautiful section of pristine, sandy beach, wonderful shelling, and a wide variety of water sports are available, including jet skiing, sailing, snorkeling, parasailing, wind surfing, swimming, fishing, and boating. Non-beachy favorites include catching a movie at the theatre, putt-putting, shopping at Time Square on the island or upscale shopping at Coconut Point. There is also a world-class golfing nearby and at the south end of the island is Lovers Key State Park, voted one of the top ten beaches of the America's!

For those non-beach days, there is Tin City and Caribbean Gardens in
Naples, Naples Zoo, Naples Pier, the Ford and Edison historic homes
in Fort Myers, live theater, the Shell Factory, Shell Museum on
Sanibel, shelling on the beach on Sanibel, Sun-splash Water Park,
Casino boat, Boston Red Sox and Minnesota Twins baseball spring
training, mini-golf, amusement parks, the Fort Myers Beach Community
Pool with slides, a fabulous local library, Imaginarium Childrens
Museum, the Calusa Nature Preserve,

3 hours to Disney / Universal / Seaworld
Attractions; 2 hours to Tampa featuring Busch Gardens, museums, fine
restaurants, or world-famous Fort Lauderdale / Miami / South Beach.
Closer to home, Sanibel Island 20 minutes and Lovers Key Park (one of
America's 10 best beaches) 10 minutes to the south.
Driving times to major cities include: Fort Myers, Sanibel Island,
and Bonita Springs (15 minutes); Naples (30 minutes); Miami and
Tampa (two hours); and Orlando, Disney World, Universal Studios, and
Cape Canaveral (approximately three hours).

Excursions to the Everglades National Park and Key West available
including airboat and swamp buggy rides, and high speed catamaran
service, respectively. A world-class sailing school, great restaurants
and bars with nightly live entertainment are right down the street!
