South end
Estero Beach & Tennis Club
One of the most searched and most actively traded buildings on Fort Myers Beach. Estero Beach & Tennis Club (“EBTC”) sits on the quieter south end with direct beach access, a Gulf-front pool, and tennis. Units are typically compact — studios and one-bedrooms with full kitchens — which keeps entry prices among the most accessible beachfront options on the island and makes them popular as income-producing vacation rentals.
Can you rent it weekly?
EBTC is widely reported to permit weekly (short-term) rentals, which is why it draws income-focused buyers — some owners report strong annual gross rents. Weekly-rental permission is the exception on much of the island, so it’s a big part of the appeal here. Confirm the current rental policy and minimum-stay rules directly with the association before you rely on any income figure.

Frequently asked questions
- Does Estero Beach & Tennis Club allow weekly rentals?
- It is widely reported to allow weekly (short-term) rentals, which is a major reason it’s popular with investors. Because association and Town rules can change, confirm the current minimum-stay policy with the association before purchasing.
- Why are units at EBTC less expensive than other beachfront condos?
- Units are generally smaller — studios and one-bedrooms — so the entry price is lower than larger beachfront units, while still offering direct beach access and short-term rental potential.
