Its residences range from two-bedroom, two-bath plans of about 1,224 square feet to three-bedroom homes near 1,640 square feet, and many face Estero Bay and the morning sun. A two-bedroom here closed at $612,500 in July 2026. Recent listings report that the building has finished its post-Ian recovery and passed inspections, so owners are now turning to the rooms that still show their 1997 roots.

Owners most often give up the tub to widen the shower, then add a frameless glass panel, a linear drain where the slab allows it, large-format porcelain tile, and a new vanity with a quartz top. The guest bathroom usually gets a tub-to-shower conversion or a fresh tub surround, new fixtures, and better lighting, so both rooms match. Heated floors and a comfort-height toilet are common add-ons for owners who spend the winter months here. Every change goes through the Waterside I association before work begins, and contractors follow its rules for elevator use, work hours, and protecting common hallways. Because the building sits on Estero Island, permits are pulled through the Town of Fort Myers Beach, and in flood zones the town measures work against FEMA's 50 percent substantial-improvement threshold. Moving a drain in a concrete tower means coring and engineering review, so we confirm plumbing locations during the free LiDAR scan before any design is final. Bathroom remodels at Waterside I start from $14,500 per bath. Price Your Waterside I *Bathroom.* Build your Waterside I bathroom in our bathroom builder and see a starting figure in a few clicks.

More recent updates in the building have gone further, with white shaker cabinets and a brighter, contemporary look. The change owners notice most is opening part of the wall between kitchen and living room so the cook can see the bay. When that wall carries no structure or building risers, it can often come out, letting a peninsula or breakfast bar replace the old pass-through. Material choices here should stand up to salt air and seasonal use. We favor quartz or quartzite tops, plywood cabinet boxes with soft-close hardware, LED under-cabinet lighting, and appliances sized to the existing openings so wiring and venting stay put. Your scan becomes a photo-real 3D render, so you can judge the finished kitchen against the bay-facing windows before anything is ordered. Countertops are templated from the same scan, which keeps trips up the elevator few and install days short. You approve the design, the render and the fixed price before demolition is scheduled. Kitchen remodels at Waterside I start from $30,000. ![Waterside I at Bay Beach kitchen remodel after photo](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Cutting-Edge-Island-Walk-Kitchen-2-After-c.webp)After · Cutting Edge kitchen remodel Price Your Waterside I *Kitchen.* Use our kitchen builder to choose finishes for your Waterside I kitchen and get its starting figure right away.
