Do We Beach House

One of Fort Myers Beach’s longtime family businesses is putting real money behind the island’s comeback. The Lemmer family, who have operated Nervous Nellie’s on the island since 2014, have acquired the building, land and docks at their Old San Carlos Boulevard property for $8.25 million.

Owning the property outright is about as strong a vote of confidence as a local business can make. When the family behind a beloved island spot decides to buy the ground beneath its own docks, it says the recovery isn’t just talk — it’s worth building on. That kind of investment ripples through the whole community, from waterfront dining to the visitors who keep coming back.

Fort Myers Beach has rebuilt strong since Hurricane Ian, and purchases like this keep the momentum going. It’s another reason to plan that island visit — and another sign the best days for Fort Myers Beach are still ahead.
