The building dates to 1979, and its two-bedroom, two-bathroom units are compact, around 950 square feet of living area, with corner units that face both the beach and the bay. A recent sale closed near $849,000. Listings describe a new roof in 2023, two new elevators and a refurbished pool, and one recent listing showed a unit with new drywall, electrical, flooring and a renovated kitchen and bathrooms. Interior updates are a common next step here. ![Gateway Villas bathroom remodel after photo](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Lely-Resort-Bathroom-before.after_-c.webp)After · Cutting Edge bathroom remodel ## Gateway Villas Bathroom Remodel At roughly 950 square feet, a Gateway Villas unit fits two full bathrooms into a tight plan. The most effective remodels remove the tub in one or both rooms for a walk-in shower with frameless glass, use a wall-hung vanity to open up floor space, and choose large porcelain tiles so the room reads as bigger. Pocket doors can help where a swinging door blocks the vanity. Fixtures with corrosion-resistant finishes, a quiet exhaust fan and moisture-resistant backer board make sense steps from the Gulf. Recessed shower niches and a mirrored cabinet replace bulky shelving and keep counters clear. Gateway Villas allows seven-day minimum rentals, so plenty of units earn income, and a remodel schedule should protect booked weeks. The association reviews interior work and sets contractor hours, parking and elevator use. Permits come from the Town of Fort Myers Beach, and flood-zone units are checked against FEMA's substantial-improvement rule, which compares the cost of work to the structure's value. Changes to drain locations in a 1979 concrete building can affect shared lines, so we confirm the plan with the association after a free LiDAR scan. Bathroom remodels at Gateway Villas start from $18,500 per bath.

Owners usually replace original cabinets with full-height uppers, add a slim pantry pull-out, and choose light quartz counters that bounce the Gulf light around the room. Where the wall allows, opening the kitchen to the living area adds a counter for seating. Compact appliances such as a 24-inch dishwasher or a counter-depth refrigerator free up space, and an induction cooktop keeps heat down in a small room. A single deep sink, slim hardware and under-cabinet lighting finish the room without crowding it. Units here are sometimes sold without appliances, so new owners may be choosing a full package at once, which is a good moment to rethink the layout. Our process starts with a LiDAR scan that becomes a photo-real 3D render, so you can see the kitchen with your appliances and finishes before ordering. Cabinets are built to the scan and countertops are templated from it. That precision matters in a building where every elevator trip with materials has to be scheduled around owners and renters. Light cabinet colors also help the unit photograph well for rental listings. Kitchen remodels at Gateway Villas start from $26,000. ![Gateway Villas kitchen remodel after photo](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Cutting-Edge-The-Vineyards-Kitchen-2-After-c.webp)After · Cutting Edge kitchen remodel Price Your Gateway Villas *Kitchen.* Use our kitchen builder to fit cabinets and appliances into your Gateway Villas kitchen and get a starting price.
