History & Context

Situated near Fort Myers off Florida's Gulf Coast Dating back to the early 30's it was a tea house and was known as The Gulf View Inn. There were a few cottages and a small inn that served beer and wine. Over the years, and because of beach erosion, The Gulf View Inn was closed and the building was moved back form the beach about 300 feet. The new owners turned the small inn into a house which stayed that way until 1975 when the Mayerons and the Webbs purchased the house on the beach thinking that maybe rental property could be a success on Captiva Island. One day while in Fort Myers at the courthouse inquiring about rental property, Mayeron and Webb were informed of an existing beer and wine license which had expired but could be reactivated if they wanted to pay $100.00, which of course they did.
