Probably the most budget friendly ocean front on FMB
Pros:

Great location for Fort Myers Beach. And the staff is amazing. That said it really shows its age and the rugs were terrible. Directly on Gulf. Check the dryer in your unit, ours had rust. That put rust stains on my shirt. Overall and for the price, I would stay there again

Terrible experience -- Beware
Pros:

I rarely leave negative reviews, but after paying nearly $400 for one night, I feel other travelers should know about our family’s experience with this location and its leadership. Its unfortunate to have to write this, as it would take extenuating circumstances to get me to take the time to write a review and ensure future clients know what they are going to experience. Edison Beach House advertises itself as a 4-star hotel, but our stay was nowhere close to that standard. While the beachfront location is excellent, the condition of our room was extremely disappointing and appeared to reflect years of deferred maintenance.
Throughout the room we found:
● Ripped and torn blankets
● Holes in the walls, including beneath the air conditioning unit
● Chipped and damaged paint
● Multiple stains on the walls
● Stained furniture cushions
● Stained headboard
● Stains on the refrigerator
● Missing towel holders
● Broken light switches
● Beds that were unstable and in need of repair
When we requested additional bath towels, we were initially told the hotel had no more towels available! Eventually, towels were brought to us, but they were bath rugs for the floor, rather than hotel bath towels. Of all the hotels I have stayed in, never had this experience. I documented the condition of the room with 21 photographs, because I was genuinely surprised that a property marketed as a 4-star hotel would be maintained this way. I am attaching the photographs so this doesn’t become my interpretation, it is being shared as reality. After returning home, I contacted Edison Beach House in an effort to resolve the matter privately before posting a public review. I spoke with the manager, Marlene, who represented herself as being in charge of the property. I explained our experience and offered to share the photographs documenting the room’s condition. Unfortunately, the conversation was as disappointing as the stay itself. Rather than listening to our concerns or discussing a possible resolution, she blamed us for not reporting every issue during our stay, attributed the condition of the property to hurricane damage from several years ago, stated that she did not care what type of review I posted, refused to provide contact information for the owners when I requested it, and ultimately ended the call by hanging up on me. Had that interaction been different, I don’t get to the point of posting this review. I was genuinely surprised by both the condition of the property and the lack of professionalism in how our concerns were handled. I expected a conversation focused on understanding the issues and making things right—not dismissiveness and hostility. For nearly $400 per night, I believe guests should expect a clean, well-maintained room and respectful customer service. In our experience, Edison Beach House fell well short of those expectations. The beachfront location is wonderful, but location alone does not justify the price or outweigh the condition of the accommodations and the way our concerns were handled.
I hope management and ownership take these concerns seriously and make meaningful improvements so future guests have a better experience than our family did.

Love the old time Florida look of the area, it is going away fast across the state.
Pros:

excellent location and staff. Good views from all the units and beach toys were nice amount and quality.

Cons:

The beds were not the most comfortable but I find that with every hotel, it just not like home.

Über den Tisch gezogen! Nie wieder!
Pros:

Nähe zum Strand

Cons:

Die Ausrichtung unseres Zimmers war auf den Parkplatz und nicht auf den Strand gerichtet, obwohl wir die teuerste Option gewählt hatten!
Die Schlafzimmerfenster konnten nicht geöffnet werden.
Die Klimaanlage war laut und ratterte.
Der Kühlschrank war aussen rostig

I would certainly return for sure.
Pros:

Loved being able to wake up every morning and looking out at the beautiful water, beach and hearing the waves.

Cons:

The elevator is very slow, but getting the key card to work to go up the stairs was also a little struggle at times too.
