Having spent the last 20 years enjoying the best Fort Myers Beach has to offer, I have discovered the best options for spending vacation time on this amazing island!

My job is to share these insights to allow you to make the most of your vacation time here. It doesn't matter is you are only here for a single night or for 6 months or longer - you deserve to make the most out of the time you are here!

Hotels and motels are no longer the "go-to" method for lodging. They are low frills and average quality with often TOP dollar pay attached to them. They force you into crowded spaces with little place or time for privacy or relaxing.

This is exactly why Vacation Rentals on Fort Myers Beach have become incredibly popular. They offer a much higher level of quality, privacy, amenities, and plenty of space to relax in! The modern ones allow you to "check-in" without ever having to "check-in" - in other words, instead of waiting in a line at a hotel to check-in, pick up old outdated Key Cards and present a credit card for "incidentals" - you simply go straight to your vacation rental and start you vacation! No fuss! No hassle! No wasting time!

How to find the BEST vacation rentals on Fort Myers Beach since they have SO many of them?? Great Question! There are two main factors that MUST be considered or you will regret it throughout your vacation!

  1. The rental must be great for you. Do NOT ever book a vacation rental if you can not see very clear pictures AND a video tour. A video tour does not mean random pictures shown in a Power Point type manner, but rather a very professionally done video that actually walks you through the entire rental so you know exactly what you are getting! If they aren't professional enough to have that, then you have to wonder about what else is not up to professional levels!

  2. The Vacation Rental Management Company must be TOP NOTCH! Even the best vacation rental unit will be a disaster in the hands of the wrong management company. It won't be properly maintained (think AC broken), it won't be clean (nothing can ruin a vacation quicker than a dirty unit). The management company is the one that is supposed to ensure you have everything you need and answer your questions 7 days a week and be on call 24 hours per day - no exceptions! They should have a Digital Guidebook they send you specific for your unit AND send it to you before you arrive so you can effectively plan out your vacation. Also, contacting a management company direct can often save you money if you book direct with them...so don't be shy and CALL them to try and save $$.

Our recommendation based on the above for a management company is to try "Fort Myers Beach Vacation Rentals" as they are the only company that currently offers the items required for a top notch vacation. https://fmbvacationrentals.com/

As far as resorts - that one is easy! The most iconic and famous resort on Fort Myers Beach is Casa Playa Beach Resort. The building's unique paint job allows it to be recognized throughout the world! It is also located in the coveted North Section of the island (if you know, you know). Privacy, quite, world-class designed condos, located on the sand and for the high quality, they are very well priced.

They do tend to sell out a year in advance, so we recommend reaching out ASAP. We know you will love it there...everyone does! https://casaplayaresort.com/
