Driftwood Inn

Mid Island

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

Off the Charts Inn & Out Island Resort

Saint James City

10/10 Excellent

The property was in the middle of a remodel so there were only 5 rooms available which made it very quiet. The unit was very clean. The amazing thing about the property was the canal in the back. The manatees were swimming around everyday. They were awesome to see. One evening there were dolphins playing in the canal. There was a great restaurant within walking distance that had great food, drinks and live music every night.

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.

I would stay here again in a minute! Conveniently located just off Fort Myers Beach, next to Walmart, bus station, and main highway. Staff was exceptional with kindness and immediate response to requests. Hotel is clean clean clean! Breakfast was yummy and had different choices daily. I’m a late breakfast eater so having a refrigerator and microwave in my room was convenient for heating breakfast up later in morning after grabbing it early. Book here..you won’t be sorry!
