When our family first moved down here it was due to our love of Fort Myers Beach. We vacationed down here for the past 15 years and finally in 2017, we had the opportunity to become a part of it. Knowing that this property had trouble staying in business since Channel Mark, we set out to make it into a place like those that brought us down here to begin with. We saw ourselves as the first and last stop at Fort Myers Beach. Over the past 6 years, with your help, we've made countless memories from Motown Mondays with the Collaboration Band. Drag Queen Bingo with Alyssa Lemay (which we've helped raised over $100,000 for local charities since opening). Wub Wednesdays catering to the EDM crowd and many of the local hospitality employees on the beach, Clive Live took the stage every Saturday and would have people dancing by 1pm. Mike Imbasciani & his BluezRockerz playing the blues on Sunday for a matinee show. Being featured on NBC2 News for Foodie Friday, 93x coming out to our grand opening and giving away cruise tickets. We persevered through Hurricane Irma, Red Tide, a Global Pandemic and came out strong with your help. We thank everyone for helping create these memories with us.
With heavy hearts, we must announce our closing. Engineers deemed the property irreparable and our historic building, which at its conception was the ice house for the shrimp boats on San Carlos Island, must be demolished. New building codes only allow for a building 1/4 the size of what we have currently. As Fort Myers Beach rebuilds, we hope to find a new home in the not-so-distant future on the island. Going forward, we ask you to please support local, family run establishments, whether it be one of our other locations or not.
We will be hosting a Relief for our employees in the most need at Nauti Parrot Oasis December 9th. Until We Meet Again, our Home Away from Home.
