Windward Passage Resort: Ardent Sunsets…read more Fifty-five years ago, as young educators, my wife and I selected Ft. Meyers beach as a holiday destination during the Christmas break. We enjoyed the Christmas holidays with our parents and relatives and drove south to Ft. Meyers Beach Holiday Inn for a week of sun, and the salty beaches and the Gulf of Mexico. I recall that we made this excursion in our new 1968 Camaro that did not have power steering, power anything, airbags, or a GPS system. And we endured/enjoyed the drive. What were we thinking? Holiday Inn and a road-trip to Florida? This was to be the last holiday taken in this fashion. We soon realized that our lifestyle provided plenty of holiday time, and we have the resources to fly to U.S. and world-wide destination. Holidays Inns are a vague and very distance memory. I tend to be a linear thinker concerning attendance at national conferences and in terms of planning holidays. We seem to have a queue of airline tickets and timeshare reservations. The vital holiday planning is for spring break. Within weeks of the last spring break, we are trading for next year's spring break, and we are finding airline tickets as soon as the airlines post the routes. There are too many reasons to purchase a two-bedroom condo, and our stable is filled with ten two-bedroom timeshares. However, we traded years ago into Windward Passage Resort (418 Estero Boulevard Fort Myers Beach, FL 33931 239-463-1194) on the quiet north section of Ft. Meyers Beach. Ft. Meyers Beach is not Sanibel and Captiva, but for a small fraction of the price, we purchased two weeks of one-bedroom units. There are very few two-bedroom units at this property, and very few two-bedroom units appear on the secondary market. I believe that location is vital; that timeshare ownership should be in geographic areas that one will re-visit; and that timeshare ownership is not an economic investment, but rather a lifestyle investment. Windward Passage Resort also turned out to be an economic investment. We sold the two properties at a profit. Windward Passage Resort is a resort that we greatly enjoyed for several years; all 52 weeks are flex ownership, and we always scheduled the very same unit for two consecutive weeks. Timeshare owners know the advantage of making these arrangements: no refrigerator transfer of food, no kitchen transfer, no bathroom transfers, and no clothing or luggage transfer. Windward Passage Resort has a great swimming pool on the south side; we always arranged to reserve our units on the north side with a beach view rather than a view of children playing about the pool. Some years, we found profit in renting the unit, and these ocean and beach front one-bedroom units traded into five star and two-bedroom units with a degree of ease. All 53 week are red weeks at Windward Passage Resort. My wife and I are avid tennis fans, and Windward Passage Resort, and the tennis courts are one story high on the roof of the parking lot. This is a unique and clever arrangement, and one which discourages ball retrieval. The photographs (while limited) on the Interval international Website do not provide justice to this gem of a property. Ft. Meyers is the archetypical Florida "snowbird city." The hordes come in November and depart in April. This means that often the bridge from Ft. Meyers to Ft. Meyers Beach is in gridlock. This is not the case in the summer months. We fly to the Ft. Meyers airport, pick up a Hertz number 1 automobile and drive the 18-22 miles to Windward Passage Resort in about 30 minutes. During the "snowbird months" allow at least an hour for the same trip. I posted this review on the Web several years ago: "Outstanding small resort located between city pier and city park. Although small rooms, the veranda provides an outstanding Gulf view. Summers are hot and humid, and good vacation times. Winters can generate fierce traffic problems. Hurricanes have done their worst to this property, and it has always bounced back. Ideal for small families. Great staff." The following post is representative as a summary of Many Web posts: "A unique, intimate Resort in a great beach location. Socials include Ice Cream Day, Pancake Day, Hot Dog, Burger Day & free coffee any day. A user-friendly quiet Resort with heated pool and complimentary beach chairs. Bring your own beach towels as they are not supplied and minimum toilet tissue or you can purchase additional rolls. Not far near the end of N. Ft. Myers Beach is the fabulous Pine Shell Resort for a tropical drink or meal and several quality island restaurants." The absolute best part of the day is at sunset. People flock to the beach in an almost religious manner to silently observe the ardent red ball of sun "descend into the ocean" or into a thin layer of clouds that provide a hue of red and pink for a 30-minute afterglow following sunset.

First…read moreoff, they stuck us in the back cottages without even offering us a place with an ocean view, which I knew there were tons of, because the place was not that full. The pool only had about 5 tables, which were filled by 7 AM every morning. Take away some lounge chairs and put in tables. Not difficult to remedy. All of the activities were volunteer based?!?! What!? I have been to 30 different timeshares, and this was a first. I asked if they had a place where we could donate our leftover, unopened food to a food shelf, and they looked at us like we were insane. They said the staff takes them. The ocean was nice and warm, but very murky, which wasn't their fault of course. The fan in the main room did not work and lots of vent slats were missing from the AC registers. Fort Myers Beach is a wonderful place, but I think I would stay somewhere else. They have taken themselves for granted.

Our infant slept in a crib that fit at the foot of the bed....however...there was no dead bolt so he was constantly escaping out of the room. No curtains so the bright light outside made it hard to sleep. Had to make a curtain out of a towel to block some of the blinding light. Speaking of towels: there were just two and we tried to get more, we were unable to get a hold of anyone! The entire stay! No one was in the office and no one answered the phone or returned an email. Thank goodness there was no emergency but we had one trashcan liner and two small towels for the entire stay. Couldn't buy any detergent for laundry from the front desk. It was frustrating. Toilet kept running and was slow to flush. Bathroom door knob was barely screwed in. No iron/ironing board. If someone else flushes the toilet in another room, water will get boiling hot. TV had to be turned on and volume adjusted manually. One bed was hard as a rock. Pillows are flat and there are no extras. Silverware was missing and not discovered until after we warmed the food. Definitely a sub-par motel stay. Won't be back unless we can't find any rooms left in the area. UPDATE: Despite no communication (office presence, call back, email reply) during our stay, I was surprised with a note in the mail with my ID that I had lost in the room! They found it and sent it back. This was so kind for them to do. Those reading this need to know that though customer service was lacking, they did go above when it came to returning my property. They didn't have to do this and it is appreciated.

I'm in FMB at least once a month these days and I was so happy that this place was open to all rentals. (Most on the island are limited currently). I'm stayed in room 209 and it was wonderful. The distance from the elevator, pool and hot tub area, community room was really perfect. The best was the balcony which overlooks Nervous Nelly restaurant, has a view of the water and you can enjoy the music from Snug Harbor and Wahoo Willie restaurants!! Booking and check in was a breeze. If you are lucky like I was Leanne may be on site at check in. She called me to let me know my room was ready and where to find her when I arrived. She went through procedures and gave me my key. The room has a living and kitchen combo area with couch, coffee table, small bistro table and chairs, tv and kitchen. The kitchen had fridge, microwave, 2 burners cooktop and duo coffee maker (oh and a toaster too). There is a huge bathroom with shower tub combo, vanity etc. Down the hall was the bedroom with king bed, closet (with hangers and beach stuff) tv and 2 nightstands. There is a sliding door to the balcony with 2 chairs and small table. Everyone I met was extremely kind. The guests staying this week come year after year and what a treat to have instant friends to hang out with in the morning or evening! The garage on the first floor has easy access to the elevator, front door to old San Carlos, and allows one space per guest. The main thing is you can't beat this location!! You can walk to everything!! I parked my car and it sat only until I needed to be at the exact opposite end of the island. Just the best experience and stay here! I cannot wait to return!!
