Margaritaville Fort Myers Beach Fourth Of July Construction Update
This is the Margaritaville at Universal Studios Hollywood. Here they are toasting the arrival of Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville restaurant to Universal CityWalk, with an exciting performance by Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band on March 30, 2017 in Los Angeles, California.
Construction took a day off for the Fourth Of July holiday, but Brian Kennedy didn’t. it was a beautiful day to fly the drone and check out the latest on the building of the Margaritaville Fort Myers Beach Resort. It was also a nice look at the crowds on the beach on a holiday.
I’ve spent many Fourth of Julys on Fort Myers Beach. Hot days with lots of liquid refreshment followed by fireworks over the pier. It’s going to be a bit longer before we can get back to that but one part of the beach is progressing rapidly. The construction of the Margaritaville Resort.
Much of the exterior of the resort looks to be near completion as they work on the interior. The rooms are being constructed! As are the restaurants and bars. The pool is also coming along nicely. With as much rain as we’ve been getting, the pool may be full by the time the hotel is ready to open. Ha. Also, I really like the one lone palm tree out by the beach. I imagine more are coming, but right now that one palm is looking lonely.
Also of note, they hung new American Flags over the bridge.
A nice gesture for the 4th of July holiday.
Margaritaville Fort Myers Beach is really looking amazing.
The crowds are clearly still down from last year, and I blame parking for that. I was in a the water and it’s super warm. The sand is soft and the beaches are clean. But parking, yeah, that can be an issue.
The 10 Most Expensive Properties On Fort Myers Beach Right Now
If you’ve got the money and want to live on the beach, there are a lot of options. Taking a look at the 10 most expensive properties on Fort Myers Beach breaks down into 3 categories.
- Properties that survived the hurricane. Repairs could be made and the residence is ready for you to move in.
- Properties that didn’t survive. In this case, you can buy pristine location lots. Some have been cleared away and are ready for construction, some still have ruined homes on them.
- New construction. Someone else has already bought the property and made plans for the new residence whether it’s a home or condo. You put your money down and can move in when it’s done.
There’s obviously benefits to each. For the first, that home is clearly well built and can withstand a lot. The second one means you get to build exactly what you want, within code of course. The third seems to be mostly for condos. I see language like “Phase 2” and “Phase 3” around these.
If you think these properties are pricey now, wait until Margaritaville is open and there’s a LOT more people coming to the beach. I really think the real estate market on Fort Myers Beach has more room to run. Provided we can make it through this hurricane season. One storm, as we know, can change everything.
