ABOUT THE AREA
Make this your upcoming travel destination and book a resort at this flawless seaside getaway.
UNCOVER SMUGGLERS & SOAK UP FLORIDA
Today you won't find many bootleggers, or really a cove. Instead you will be immersed in miles of white crystal sand and kissed by the sun on the cove's beachfront view. While vacationing, be sure to enjoy a nice BBQ by the pool, or play a game of shuffleboard. Rain or shine, our Tiki Huts have you covered for any outdoor lounging. If your clothes need a dry, that's okay as we have an on-site laundromat for your convenience.
INDULGE IN OUR CENTRAL LOCATION
Smugglers Cove is perfectly situated on the center of Estero Island with about 3 miles from both, the north and south side exists. The immediate area graciously offers several options such as fine dining, boat rentals, and shopping all within walking distance. You will also be surprised to find grocery options, churches, and a library that each offer a uniqueness that captures the island life. Be sure to take advantage of the distance, grab a cocktail, take a walk, and enjoy the sunset. At Smugglers Cove, Estero Island becomes your home and so much more.

Stayed for a week with my husband and two daughters and had an amazing time! The condo is perfect! Clean, updated, great pool, with everything you could want or need! Great memories made, the location is amazing and we even got to see four dolphins playing in the gulf from the deck!! Would love to stay again!!

We love Fort Myers Beach and have been coming here for the last 10 years. We have on stayed on both ends of Estero and in all types of places. We love to run on the beach, walk to Happy Hour, ride bikes to get up and down the boulevard. It really is a great, central, QUIET location away from the busier areas, but close enough to join the fun when desired.

Very friendly people in the buildings, both visitors and residents. Good location between Publix and CVS, near some good restaurants as well, (Charley’s, Pinchers). Excellent beach, pleasant pool, great for families with young children.
