The Loft FMBCall

Meet your hosts

Airbnb Superhost, hosting for 10 years. Guest Favorite on Airbnb for both the Octopus Loft and the Turtle Suite.

Hi, we’re Chris and Jake. We live on Fort Myers Beach and created The Loft as the kind of place we’d want our friends and family to stay: comfortable, thoughtfully stocked, surrounded by a tropical garden, and an easy walk from the beach and downtown.

We’re glad to share our favorite part of the island with you.

Chris

Host

Chris grew up in Florida, and the beach has always been his happy place: fishing at sunrise, cruising on the boat, or paddleboarding the calm back bay. When he’s not on the water, he’s working on projects around The Loft to make every stay a little more comfortable.

Jake

Host and head gardener

Jake is the one behind the details, from fluffed pillows to cozy corners. He also turned the grounds into a tropical garden full of palms and colorful flowers, the kind of place where you sip your morning coffee and feel like you’re on vacation.

And Layla

Layla, our black lab and border collie mix, lives here too. You may see her around the property. She loves meeting new people and never turns down a splash in the surf.

The Loft FMB on Third Street in downtown Fort Myers Beach

Why we love this location

We’re on Third Street in downtown Fort Myers Beach, so the beach and the island’s best evenings are both a short walk from your door.

  • The white sand is a 2 to 3 minute walk.
  • Times Square, restaurants and live music are a few minutes away on foot.
  • Free on-site parking, so you can park once and leave the car.

What guests say

Location and walkability

  • Cute and clean 3rd floor apartment right near the beach and lots of restaurants/shops. Sleek decor and thoughtful supplies. The rocking chairs were perfect for relaxing on the private porch. I saw a rainbow in the morning almost every day! Chris and Jake were perfect hosts and the gardens were beautiful.

Beach gear and amenities

  • This is a 5 star location with five star rating hosts. It was a 4 min walk from the square. The house had all the beach essentials waiting for us, like beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, and even a wagon.

    Stephen, guest
  • Exactly as the description reads. The kitchen was well equipped, the bed was so comfy, the beach supplies were perfect! Walking distance to great food, live music, shops and of course the beach.
