GullWing Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, clean , only minus the beach chairs and umbrellas."

Pointe Estero Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Probably one of the best places I've ever stayed. The suite was amazing, with multiple balconies that overlooked white sand beach!! It was actually better than the pictures. We have a family of 6, and felt like plenty of room. Full kitchen, 2 bathrooms woth 2 showers. Oh and the kids really liked the master shower - rain out of ceiling type, never had that before. Beach and pool towels available, we walked out of hotel, and up a short path and was on sand. Also a water spout to clean off before going bk in room (on path). We used the free bikes, 7-11 up the street! Nice for late night snacks.. room felt very private - no immediate neighbors, could see or hear anyone next door. They had these waterproof wristbands as your key - great for us and kids, everyone wore them and they worked whole time! Laundry with dryer - nice for wet clothes. Although wouldn't recommend putting any string swimsuits, as one of our strings got caught in there...but those dry quick anyways. All in all, super fun, no complaints. Oh and sand at this beach is white and soft, and not hot when you walk on it. Which was surprising! Thanks for a fun time"

"Me and my family enjoyed our stay, the property was as advertised. The host was super nice and made check-in very easy. The rooms were nice and clean when we arrived and the balcony was nice and specious with very nice privacy. Very good hotel for the price 10/10 would recommend if you plan on staying with a large family."

Ocean Vibes 2 BR, beachfront condo, endless shore/ocean views, steps to the sand

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay in Fort Myers Beach! The condo was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had absolutely everything you could possibly need to feel at home. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and waking up just steps from the beach was the perfect way to start each day.Heather was an amazing host with excellent communication from beginning to end. She was responsive, helpful, and made everything easy. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay and would definitely return. Highly recommend!!"
