I am looking for a 2 bedroom unit in Ft. Myers beach for March 08. (on the beach) Does anyone have any suggestions as to places to stay that are not party houses? Sanibel or Sarasota would also be fine.

March is certainly "prime time" for Fort Myers Beach (and everywhere else in SW FL, for that matter), so you are likely going to have more than a little difficulty finding a "2BR unit, on the beach" there at that time. If you do find it, have your checkbook ready........and that goes double for more "upscale" Sanibel.

Although there are a fair number of college kids using Mom & Dad's (or grandparents') timeshare facilities during Spring Break at FMB, rental prices are PLENTY high enough that there are few (if any) "party houses" here per se. The college kids confine their "presence" (admittedly a sometimes noisy, drunken and annoying presence) almost exclusively to a small handful of "joints" situated right in and around Times Square (at least at night). Times Square is at the "northern" end of Estero Island / Fort Myers Beach. If you want peace and quiet at night, then you definitely want to be more toward the southern end of Estero Island ---where no such "joints" exist. That would be addresses numbered about # 3500 and higher on Estero Blvd. Again, however, you are going to have a lot of difficulty finding a 2BR unit "on the beach" here in the prime time frame you've identified.

Good luck.
