If you’ve got the money and want to live on the beach, there are a lot of options. Taking a look at the 10 most expensive properties on Fort Myers Beach breaks down into 3 categories.

  1. Properties that survived the hurricane. Repairs could be made and the residence is ready for you to move in.
  2. Properties that didn’t survive. In this case, you can buy pristine location lots. Some have been cleared away and are ready for construction, some still have ruined homes on them.
  3. New construction.  Someone else has already bought the property and made plans for the new residence whether it’s a home or condo. You put your money down and can move in when it’s done.

There’s obviously benefits to each. For the first, that home is clearly well built and can withstand a lot. The second one means you get to build exactly what you want, within code of course. The third seems to be mostly for condos. I see language like “Phase 2” and “Phase 3” around these.

If you think these properties are pricey now, wait until Margaritaville is open and there’s a LOT more people coming to the beach. I really think the real estate market on Fort Myers Beach has more room to run. Provided we can make it through this hurricane season. One storm, as we know, can change everything.

So let’s go to Realtor.com to take a look at the 10 Most Expensive Properties On Fort Myers Beach Right Now

    It’s new construction, the condos haven’t been built yet. It’s towards the southern end of the island and looks to be on the grounds of the old Carousel Inn.

    There was an older wooden house there. Now all that’s left is the swimming pool. It’s across the street from the church where Estero Blvd makes that bend.

  • 8. 290 Carolina Ave, Fort Myers Beach, FL 33931

    $4,600,000

    This one is move in ready. Fully restored after the hurricane, even the dock. It’s on the bay side so it probably took a little less damage. It comes with an elevator and looks to be within walking distance of Yo Taco!

    This one is pitched primarily as a vacation rental property. It’s on the coast a bit south of Diamondhead. Looks like the hurricane beat it up, but it held. And now it can be yours.

  • 5. 6240 Estero Blvd Unit 4, Fort Myers Beach, FL 33931

    New construction. Another condo building being built next to the one at number 6.

  • 4. 3750 Estero Blvd, Fort Myers Beach, FL 33931

    $5,250,000

    A big vacant lot about mid way down the island on the coast. The building on this lot used to be one of those wooden vacation rentals, but that’s gone now.

  • 3. 324 Estero Blvd Lot 1, Fort Myers Beach, FL 33931

    $5,495,000

    On the coast, the lot is zoned for condos so they’re looking for a developer. It’s near the Pink Shell.

  • 2. 455 Palermo Cir, Fort Myers Beach, FL 33931

    $5,990,000

    New construction 3-story concrete home. This lot is bay side with water access. The area used to be older wooden homes so this 3 story concrete house will really stand out. It’s a 5 minute walk to Yo Taco! and a 9 minute half mile walk to the new Margaritaville. Pretty ideal.

    https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/455-Palermo-Cir_Fort-Myers-Beach_FL_33931_M50591-52062?from=srp-list-card

  • 1. 3321 Estero Blvd, Fort Myers Beach, FL 33931

    $6,450,000

    This is 5 lots that was previously the Palm Terrace Resort. The downside here is that it’s not on the beach and the big houses across the street will block any chance of watching the sunset from your living room. But it’s a big area.
