Beach Shell Inn

What a nice gem on the beach! Upon arriving, the owner gave us a brief description of close in restaurants, grocery store, etc. She then took the time to show us our room. We absolutely loved the place! A real throw back to simpler times. I won’t go into any more details as most have covered them in previous reviews. A short walk to the beach, a short walk to the pier. I would highly recommend this place! A big thank you to the owners for their outstanding service and attention. If we ever go back to FMB, we’ll be staying here!

Wow!!! What a fantastic place to stay on ft meyers beach. Went there for 5 days with 2 ten yr olds they had a blast. The place is Quaint and sweet. Clean everything. We had a room with a kitchen. They supplied everything one could possibly need. From the dishwasher soap to paper towels to everything utensil and pot to cook with. The pool was just perfect. And the walk to the beach is a hop and a skip away. Close to supermarket downtown and many local places to eat. Did not use my car for 5 days. And there is a public pool with slides across the street for pennies to go in. Believe me this is a hidden gem. Good luck in your stay.

Great Unilocal find! Owners could not have been nicer or more helpful. Cute little place that is well kept and very clean. Great price and great location beachside — 100 feet walk to beach. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. House!

Loved it. The room was absolutely clean. The mattress was high quality and very comfortable. The courtyard and pool were clean and comfortable. We had a family group in three rooms and all were pleased with the accommodations.
Beach Shell Inn is perfectly situated on the same side of the road as the beach. It was a very short walk to a gently sloping beach. A grocery store and several restaurants were also easy walks. We did not use our car the three days we stayed at Beach Shell Inn.
The rates were very reasonable.
I would stay there again if we return to Fort Meyers Beach.

What can I say about this hidden gem in Fort Myers beach? My husband and I just returned from a wonderful weeks vacation spent at the Beach Shell Inn. First is the great location, steps away from the beautiful beach, walking distance to the Taco Stand, Breakfast café and souvenir store. A short bike ride to the famous Time Square! The pool is clean, inviting, relaxing. The owner is eager to point out areas of interest, brews fresh coffee every morning and stops to chat with the guests as she goes about her daily business. The rooms are clean, have a refrigerator and microwave. My husband and I would walk to breakfast in the AM and come back to our room tidied up with fresh towels and linen. There are beach chairs that you are free to use if you so desire. They have grills for use in case you want «burgers on the grill». A local food store is within walking distance. Again, a hidden gem. Looking forward too returning next year!!!

I thought long and hard about whether to review this as 4 or 5 stars… I finally decided on 5 stars for many reasons. While this isn’t close to fancy or «sleek» or modern in design, it has something… several things actually that I think are better than modern and more deserving of 5 stars. First of all, it’s just sweet! The hotel, the spot, the owner/manager…all just so sweet! I was greeted warmly by the most friendly woman I’ve ever met in Florida. We were welcomed and shown to our room. She gave us our wifi password… that and the flat screen tv are all the modern I care to have :-). We are steps from the most gorgeous, quiet part of the beach with a wide expanse of sand to sit quietly and not be overrun by neighbors. The pool is warm and clean clean clean! Speaking of clean, the quaint yet size able room is probably the cleanest I’ve seen with updated and roomy shower and a nice mini but not too mini fridge (for my beach beer) this motel/​hotel gets 5 stars from me because it reminds me of what vacations USED to look like… clean, friendly, helpful and just downright feeling like home away from home!

Quiet, very clean, friendly staff– literally 30 feet from the beach. Housekeeping was quick and non intrusive– we’d come back from a 20 minute breakfast run to find our room cleaned. Fellow guests were a bit older than us (late 20s), but very friendly, and all repeat customers– very indicative of the high quality of service.

Quaint little mom & pop motel. Clean, friendly and you walk right to the beach. They provide chairs for you to grab and take to the beach. We would stay here again. Good for couples and families.
