"We booked a two bedroom but actually received two one bedroom duplexes with a door between. There were not adequate utensils (no spatula) and very few dishes. The property was right on the side of a very busy street and was not oceanfront like we expected. We had a parking lot behind us, busy street to the side and another road just steps from the front door. One side of the duplex had a mini split not central air and then til would not go cooler than 72 degrees which in our world is too hot to...

Driftwood Inn

10/10 Excellent

The cottage was clean and updated with everything you need, toiletries, kitchen pans and utensils, a full beach cart with everything needed for the beach. I took a few naps in the sun in the hammock. The location is great, an easy block to the beach. The only thing we had difficulty with was the gas grill did not heat up sufficiently to cook burgers. It was an incredible relaxing place for a family vacation, highly recommend it

Pink Shell Beach Resort and Marina

Fort Myers Beach

10/10 Excellent

This is a wonderful place, the adult pool was priceless because of so many children. Food was exceptional for a resort, the only real gripe is the drink prices. 9 bucks for a draft Modelo in a plastic cup. I had two mixed drinks and the wife two Mocktails and it was $60 dollars. I get it, its a resort but they are making a killing off the booze, I noticed many folks just brought their own because of this. Lower the price and you will sell more.

Upon arrival room was ready. We received the room we booked, lower level, one bedroom suite poolside with screen porch. It was clean, cool, and ready for occupants. The area was very safe and the property was very well maintained and quiet. We liked fishing from the dock and caught quite a variety of fish. We would definitely stay there again. In addition they had very good internet and a nice large TV which my husband was able to enjoy football.

We ended up checking in to a close by hotel that we had made reservations for and checking right out because it was absolutely disgusting. We went over to Hampton Inn and luckily, Crystal was able to help us book the last available room in the hotel. I have to say, we had an amazing stay here. The staff was truly so nice, respectful and accommodating. The rooms and the hotel were super clean. They served breakfast every morning in the lobby and it was pretty good!!
