Greater Fort Myers Real Estate
Information, opinions and tips about Southwest Florida real estate
Sanibel Harbour Resort & Spa is a luxury waterfront resort, including twin high-rise condominium buildings, with breath-taking views across San Carlos Bay and Sanibel and located in Fort Myers between Naples and Sarasota/Tampa. The complex also includes a spa, pool, tennis center with 12 lighted tennis courts, and a marina.
On a stretch of land less than 15 acres along the Caloosahatchee River, there stands a peninsula lined in palm trees called Punta Rassa. It is a beautiful area on SR 867 just before you cross the bridge for Sanibel Island that is highlighted by county recreational docks, and a boat ramp, condominiums, a yacht club and a 4-star resort and spa. But a rich history of colorful characters marks Punta Rassa, one with Calusa Indians, Spanish explorers, cowboys, soldiers, telegraph operators and commercial fishermen.
