The creation of Bayside Estates dates back to 1968 which means the canals were dug and seawalls poured over 50 years ago. Many of those seawalls have failed or are showing serious signs of wear and tear. To replace a seawall today cost lots and lots of money. That is money which may never be reclaimed later. Much like putting in a swimming pool does not equate to a dollar for dollar increase in value, so it is with seawalls. Therefore, the prudent buyer would be wise to seek out those properties where the former owner has already paid for a new seawall and due to circumstances is willing to take the financial hit on your behalf. Their loss is your gain. This Bayside Estates is one such lot. A new seawall is in, the lot has been cleared and leveled, and is ready for a new home to be brought in. Beyond being a good buy, this lot is simply gorgeous. There are six lovely palm trees lining the perimeter of the lot giving you that tropical vibe we all desire. Another valuable point is many vacant lots that were previously available for purchase in Bayside Estates have already been purchased and will most likely be built upon in the coming months. The inventory of vacant lots is running lower and lower as each lot transitions from available to sold. Therefore, if you're looking to acquire a desirable and valuable Bayside lot, look no further.  Bayside Estates is the best kept secret of Fort Myers Beach. This incredibly active and friendly 55+ community is the crown jewel on the gulf coast. Bayside estates is only 2.5 miles to the beach and is accessible by either car or boat--right from either your driveway or private boat dock. A very popular activity is riding your electric bicycles to the beach for the day and visit the world-famous Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville. Just don't step on a pop-top!!. Nearly all of the major retail vendors are within a very short driving distance for ultimate convenience. For those who don’t know a lot about Bayside Estates, it is a very fun place to call home---some would even say it’s a mature person’s playground. Whether you want to play pickleball, tennis or bocce ball or hang out at the community pool, or simply cruise the hood in your golf cart, there is always something going on around here. People are friendly and you will be warmly welcomed.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
