Flamingo Island Flea Market

It’s a flea market, get it? Lots and lots and lots of stalls selling everything from schlock to high end to bathroom fixtures. Never know what you’ll come upon next. Some prices cheap and others high end.
We wandered in on a rainy day and this was the perfect activity. They even sell food and alcoholic drinks. You could just sit at the bar and people watch which is entertainment on its own.
Not sure I’d be there on a sunny day as not what I came to FL for. But since the weather didn’t cooperate this is a good time filler.

This is review of the Bahama Mama tiki bar that operates between the parking lot and the flea market. This weekend, the bar called it a Grand Opening, and offered a half dozen different sliders along with dollar off, plastic cups of beer for $ 2, and their signature Bahama Mama’s wine based, rum flavored cocktail in a souvenir glass for $ 5. The two waitresses and one cook dressed in sharp, chartreuse sports shirts; the girls wore big, fake flowers in their hair. Very festive. The picnic tables under the awning, and all the seats along the bar were full.
I went with a friend because the live music here is good talent that flies under the mainstream radar. On Saturday, «Sabrina from Jamaica» sang, karaōke style to Caribbean favorites and pop jazz. She even took a request and provided a powerful rendition of a Streisand ballad. You gotta believe I got her card. A future party will be all the better if she can appear.

The freshly squeezed orange juice is the best part for me. Nothing that peaked my interest.

Der Flamingo Island Flea Market hat uns nicht so gut gefallen.
Wir sind an einem Freitag dort gewesen und es war kaum etwas los.
Zudem sind viele Stände geschlossen gewesen.
Großteil ist auch hier Neuware, wo handeln kaum möglich ist. Da geht der echte Flohmarktcharakter ganz verloren.
Einen kleinen Foodcourt gibt es auch, mit halbwegs akzeptablen Preisen.
Insgesamt wirkt alles so düster und uneinladend. Da fahren wir lieber nach Ft. Myers zum Flohmarkt.

That place was a dive! $ 173,000.00 for a ring! Honey, this isn’t Harry Winston, this place doesn’t even have properly functioning AC. Thank goodness they didn’t charge admission, we would have been mad. Overall, everything was overpriced. Just keep on driving.

Not a bad flea market… not a super flea market. Not sure if it was due to it being located in Florida, but there were a lot of booths with really high priced items… I guess I just always picture fleas at the flea markets… haha…So I don’t really imagine I’ll be heading in and buying something extravagant… We did find out from one of the booth owners that rent was a staggering $ 2900 a month, so that could be the reason for some of the higher end things. I was able to score a few tchotchkes — which is why I like flea markets to begin with. I’d go back, I did see a couple of things I wanted to look at in more detail. Check them out!

So many interesting things here and great food. Joeys is delicious and they are so nice!

Great little indoor/​outdoor flea market right off I-​75 in Bonita Springs (not too far from North Naples!). A little crowded with vendors, many of which seem to get their wares in bulk from the same place but it is the more unique offerings which make this place stand out.
The food we’ve had here has been delicious (especially those mini donuts at JT’s Pizzeria!). Grabbed a great cup of coffee (okay it was a Vanilla Frappé…) as I rounded the corner into the back, «blue» area of the flea market. Some of the produce out front at one of the vendors was a little pricey (especially compared to the prices at the 3^rd Street South Farmers Market and the one on Marco Island) but there were a few produce vendors there and we didn’t make it to all of them. Great music on the weekends — we heard a wonderful Bluegrass band there last Sunday. Great prices on fruit trees at the landscaper outside, and I have found some of the most comfortable dresses I have ever worn over at Krill in the back of the market.
Beware of people at kiosks who act like they’re at a kiosk in a regular mall — they’ll sometimes grab you and stop you to listen to their spiel. The best experiences I’ve had however is just popping in and randomly chatting up the owners and workers at the little shops. What a cute idea, and we are seriously considering opening up a location there for our little mom & pop (prices are extremely reasonable for those who wish to open a store there).
Great way to pass the time on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday afternoon, grab a bite with friends, and patronize some local businesses.

Great place to visit! My kids loved looking at all the goodies. Our favorite place is Made to Bake in the red aisle! They sell the most delicious baked goods, their cupcakes are to die for and reasonably priced. The Boston Cream & Pineapple Coconut are our favorite, but they are all amazing. Don’t leave the market without stopping by.

This Flea Market is super cool! You can get beers throughout and drink while you shop. I recommend the place with the patio outside.
Good deals. Normal flea market items as you would expect. If staying in the Fort Myers area, it’s worth giving this place a try. It’s not touristy. Lots of locals. The place has heart.

Small place, basically 2 rows, that are pretty long. You will see many of the same items in the shops. wallet, makeup, cleaning supplies, as seen on tv. Didn’t see any tables that weren’t full time sellers. Some cheap tools made in china there, thats about all I was interested in.

This place is pretty organized. The typical types of Flea market stuff is there housewares, clothes, jewelry, not too much furniture. They also have toys, souvenirs, cell phone stuff. Like a usual flea market, they probably have it. I did find what I need which was a case for my cell phone so all was good in my world.

Very nice air conditioned/​covered flea market — more like an open air mall. Prices are good and the business owners are really helpful — not at all like any mall in middle America — you actually deal with the owner, in my experiences. Fun for the day or just an afternoon. Golf, Fishing, Hardware, Kitchen Stuff, Coins, and lots of stuff for ladies, good & cheap ice cold beer — Sounds good to me!

The only good thing about this place is the bar out back! ;)

Flamingo island, going to keep you smiling,…treasures for the whole family… Its burnt into my head. Very catchy and contagious.
They have a good variety of stuff here to interest every person my only complaint is it’s only open on the weekends. So expect a mob of idiots from all around. I’m guessing the venders like it because it appears to be a feeding frenzie like shark week in Bonita Springs. They have mini dough nuts from an automatic machine. To fish, jewelry, auto detailing, clothes, shoes, hats, sporting goods, collectibles, tools, And good deals at the farmers market just outside.

Just a couple of buildings with a bunch of shops you see in the middle of any mall in America. Prices are not any better on items even in S. Florida.
