Lovely place with all the amenities you need. We rented the boat there as well, very friendly helpful people. We had a very enjoyable three night stay. And we can't tell you how great the restaurants are in the area. We went to Drifters first night, great wings, second night Essex House, very delicious seafood and homespun atmosphere, then third night Sparky's, huge portions of really delicious food, highly recommend. ##### Joanne Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2025 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [DiamondHead Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Myers-Hotels-DiamondHead-Beach-Resort.h200632.Hotel-Information) > - [South Seas](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Myers-Hotels-South-Seas-Island-Resort.h40732.Hotel-Information) > - [Tropic Sun Towers](https://www.expedia.ca/Daytona-Beach-Hotels-Tropic-Sun-Towers-By-Capital-Vacations.h1169627.Hotel-Information) > - [Embassy Suites by Hilton Fort Myers Estero](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Myers-Hotels-Embassy-Suites-By-Hilton-Fort-Myers-Estero.h1312669.Hotel-Information) > - [Hammock Beach Golf Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Daytona-Beach-Hotels-Hammock-Beach-Golf-Resort-Spa.h994170.Hotel-Information) > - [Bahama House](https://www.expedia.ca/Daytona-Beach-Hotels-Bahama-House.h893658.Hotel-Information) > - [Margaritaville Beach House Key West](https://www.expedia.ca/Key-West-Hotels-Margaritaville-Beach-House-Key-West.h48713884.Hotel-Information) > - [Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Naples-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Coconut-Point-Resort-Spa.h792025.Hotel-Information) > - [Holiday Inn Resort Panama City Beach by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Panama-City-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Resort-Panama-City-Beach.h18867.Hotel-Information) > - [Sarasota Surf and Racquet Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Sarasota-Hotels-Sarasota-Surf-And-Racquet-Club.h9728448.Hotel-Information) > - [White Elephant Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-West-Palm-Beach-Hotels-White-Elephant-Palm-Beach.h42412055.Hotel-Information) > - [The Resort on Cocoa Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-The-Resort-On-Cocoa-Beach.h329971.Hotel-Information) > - [Hilton Grand Vacations Club in Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Miramar-Beach-Hotels-Embarc-Sandestin.h1054729.Hotel-Information) > - [Mission Resort and Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Leesburg-Hotels-Mission-Inn-Resort-Club.h2057662.Hotel-Information) > - [Edgewater Beach & Golf Resort by Resort Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Panama-City-Hotels-Edgewater-Beach-And-Golf-Resort-By-Resort-Collection.h803238.Hotel-Information) > - [The Resort at Longboat Key Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Sarasota-Hotels-The-Resort-At-Longboat-Key-Club.h27542.Hotel-Information) > - [Pink Shell Beach Resort and Marina](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Myers-Hotels-Pink-Shell-Beach-Resort-And-Marina.h15603.Hotel-Information) > - [Cedar Cove Resort and Cottages](https://www.expedia.ca/Sarasota-Hotels-Cedar-Cove-Resort-And-Cottages.h8099611.Hotel-Information) > - [Amrit Ocean Resort and Residences - Singer Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-West-Palm-Beach-Hotels-Amrit-Ocean-Wellness-Resort.h36247449.Hotel-Information) > - [Windsor Island Luxury | Home in Windsor Island Resort, Private Pool, Arcade](https://www.expedia.ca/Davenport-Hotels-Windsor-Island-Luxury-Home-In-Windsor-Island-Resort.h60809096.Hotel-Information) > - [Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Fort Pierce West by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Vero-Beach-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Hotel-Suites-Fort-Pierce-West.h538557.Hotel-Information) > - [The Ben West Palm, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/West-Palm-Beach-Hotels-The-Ben-West-Palm.h38983694.Hotel-Information) > - [Hilton Vacation Club Daytona Beach Regency](https://www.expedia.ca/Daytona-Beach-Hotels-Hilton-Vacation-Club-Daytona-Beach-Regency.h40772.Hotel-Information) > - [The Shores Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Daytona-Beach-Hotels-The-Shores-Resort-Spa.h15752.Hotel-Information) > - [Zota Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Sarasota-Hotels-Zota-Beach-Resort.h15703469.Hotel-Information) > - [Casa Del Mar Longboat Key](https://www.expedia.ca/Sarasota-Hotels-Casa-Del-Mar-Longboat-Key.h15602940.Hotel-Information) > - [Hilton Garden Inn Cocoa Beach Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.ca/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Cocoa-Beach-Oceanfront.h4398.Hotel-Information) > - [PGA National Resort ](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-Gardens-Hotels-PGA-National-Resort-And-Spa.h10355.Hotel-Information) > - [Compass Hotel by Margaritaville Anna Maria Sound](https://www.expedia.ca/Sarasota-Hotels-Compass-Hotel-By-Margaritaville.h41961327.Hotel-Information)
