Condo faced the Gulf; beach known for lots of seashells, great sunsets, rented bikes and rode all over the island. There is a wildlife refuge on the island that is also fun to explore by bike, foot, or car. The condo had a nice pool so we hung out there also. If you want city you can drive the 12-15 miles back to Ft. Myers. We just stayed on the island for 4 days. Captiva is a little farther from Ft. Myers, but equally as peaceful.
