17720 Eglantine Lane $199,000

Bayside Estates has essentially two half’s. There is the retention pond side and the saltwater side, so the community is roughly split down the middle. Both have their benefits. This lot is located on the saltwater side on Eglantine Lane and there is a free and unobstructed waterway to Hurricane Bay, Hell Peckney Bay, the Gulf of Mexico and beyond. With a shallow draft sailboat, one could even sail to Key West or even the Dry Tortugas from your own back yard!!! You won’t find properties like that everywhere. Go shopping and pick out the manufactured home of your liking and have it delivered to this lovely lot and begin partaking in the benefits of this highly desirable community. 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 to ride your electric bicycles to the beach for the day and visit the world famous Jimmy Buffet’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.
