The Four Mile Cove Ecological Preserve sits just a few blocks from the Isalnd Cove complex and features acres of green space. Fort Myers beach and Sanibel are also very close to the complex for easy access to the beach and the gulf. Island Cove also offers residents gulf access and many of the units come with deeded dock slips for convenient boat access. The condos themselves feature stucco veneers with tiled roofs and palm trees.

Many of the condos have lanais with gorgeous views of the water, as well as a variety of other upgrades. High ceilings and updated kitchen and bathroom appliances are common; hurricane resistant windows are also popular. The bedrooms of the condos in Island Cove are carpeted while the living spaces use hard tile.
