Looking for a tiny home on Fort Myers Beach? Miniopolis LLC builds permanent, code-approved small homes for island lots. They’re a lower-cost way to own on Estero Island, or a smart replacement for a storm-damaged cottage. Our small homes are built on engineered, elevated foundations to current flood and wind codes, so they’re far more than a cottage on blocks.
Small-Home Options for the Island
- 1/1 model — ideal for a narrow lot, a weekend getaway or a seasonal rental.
- 2/2 model — two private suites for couples, family or rental guests.
- 3/2 model — our largest small home, starting at $185,000 before site-specific costs.
- Custom small homes — compact elevated designs drawn around your lot and view.
What “For Sale” Means Here
We build tiny homes on land you own or are buying. We aren’t a lot or dealership selling pre-built units. Pricing depends on the model, finishes, foundation height and site work required by your flood zone. Elevation and foundation costs on the island can be significant, so we give every buyer a lot-specific estimate before anything is signed.
Is a Tiny Home Allowed on My Lot?
It depends on Town of Fort Myers Beach zoning, minimum living-area rules, setbacks and your flood zone. We review your survey and the town code first. If a tiny home won’t work on your lot, we’ll tell you and suggest what will, like a compact custom home.
