Frequently asked questions
- Is Iona close to the beaches?
- Iona sits in south Fort Myers near the base of the Sanibel causeway, so Sanibel and Fort Myers Beach are both a short drive — a big part of its appeal for boaters and beach-goers who want to stay on the mainland.
- Is Iona part of the City of Fort Myers?
- No. Iona is an unincorporated part of Lee County, located between McGregor Boulevard and the Sanibel Causeway. That can affect things like which local services and rules apply, so I confirm the details for any property.
- Is Iona good for boaters?
- Iona has canal and waterfront homes with access toward the river and the Gulf, which makes it popular with boaters. Depth, bridges and the route to open water differ by property, so I check them for any home you're considering.
