Great Host and Location

Mary took great care of my boys while they were in town for a baseball tournament. She responded promptly, was nearby if they needed anything, and the property was perfect for them. We will definitely stay there again if we are in that area.

Great Time at the Fish Inn

I booked Mary's place for some friends that came into town to celebrate my birthday. They loved their stay and Mary was so kind and helful throughout, even when they ended up having to stay more time than we originally booked. The property is so cool and what Mary has done with it is so impressive. Will definetly be using the Fish Inn again in the future, as we have lots of family from out of town! Thanks Mary!!

What a gem!

From the inquiry, to booking and throughout the stay, Mary was so pleasant to work with! We were up and out early in the morning to go fishing and not back till evening, so unfortunately never got to meet her in person but we were delighted with the hospitality. There are 3 duplexes (6 total units) on a large lot with easy and plentiful parking. We stayed in "Marlin" and it was well equipped with everything we needed. We even grilled some of the fish we caught a couple of the nights. It did have a couple rolls of TP, paper towels and such but if you are staying more than a couple days, be prepared to stock up on a few basics at the store. The unit has been freshly remodeled and is so clean and cozy! Shower has great pressure and wifi worked well. Key-coded door so no worries about keys. Beds were comfortable and the A/C was welcome after a hot day in the sun. They have done such a great job with this property and we hope to return soon!

Wonderful and Convenient!

Mary, the owner who lives on site, was absolutely delightful! She is a kind, spiritual lady who accommodated anything we needed instantaneously. The unit we stayed in was a bit dated but clean and comfortable. The beds were very comfortable. There were beach chairs, umbrella, sand toys and beach towels available. Close proximity to beaches, shopping and Sanibel Island was a plus. Definitely recommended to people wanting a clean, comfortable, convenient option while in Southwest Florida for a reasonable price.

Relaxing Property

Enjoyed my stay! Appreciated being close to shopping and the beach. Quiet location in an "old Florida" neighborhood instead of dealing with the big-box traffic congestion found elsewhere in Ft. Myers. Thanks, Mary!

Great stay in ft myers

We stayed at the fish inn for a month and it was a wonderful place to stay. It was clean and well equipped with all the things you needed. The owner was friendly, knowledgeable of the area and lived near by so she was very accessible if needed. Unit even has a back porch with a table, chairs and lounge chair. Location is great, super close to everything but still quiet and private.

Cute place for a couple or small family

The place is cute and the space was good for our needs. We appreciated Mary meeting us upon our arrival. We liked the location - it was an easy drive to the beach and to the school, and it was quiet and comfortable. The close-access parking was very handy. We did utilize the on-site washer and dryer across the parking lot.

Client First

The location is ok, no restaurants close by you have drive no other way. It was a very bad surprise when the land lord told me that the closer on the master bedroom I could not use it because she has a huge giant vault that belong to her family…and I have to use only the one on the space room where the two twin beds were…I mean really??? For my inconvenience I did unpack what’s the point ridiculous… in my case I was by myself and my dog but if you rent it with your family of 4 ..forget about it, everyone after shower has to share closet again ridiculous. One more thing I told the owner she needs pets control and almost forgot , the washer and dryer are located at the back inside another apartment where a couple lives there, this is in their living… I mean I felt so bad , doing laundry after coming from the beach late just so inconvenient, the couple was nice but for me I felt horrible. This is my experience.

Clean, Cute and Close

Really enjoyed our stay at one of Mary’s units. It was clean and well appointed for a beach getaway. Mary communicated well from the moment we booked and made herself available at any time with questions about local activities and places to go. The location is very close to the causeway to Sanibel Island and Fort Meyers beach. Thank you for your hospitality Mary at the Fish Inn.

We couldn't have been any happier with our stay at the Fish Inn. Our cottage was modern, spotless, smelled wonderful and had everything we needed while there!

Exactly what we were looking for!

The property was clean, cute, comfortable and convenient. Mary, the property owner is super nice and helpful. The place was clean and everything worked well. Not many amenities (pool, etc.) but if you're looking for a quiet place close to everything with comfy beds and cool AC, this is your place. We will be back for sure.

Perfect vacation getaway

We could not have asked for a better arrangement, with a separate bedroom for our teenage daughter. Mary was in contact with us before we checked in, met us on the property, and was responsive when we made contact. Location was quiet, with convenient access to cafes, groceries, and the beach. Will definitely stay with Mary again!

HAS THE BASICS

Well, it's not the "Ritz". But it's got the basics covered, it's roomy, and it has a friendly, attentive owner who is trying to please her guests. If you tell her what you need or what needs to be done then she does her best to comply. We found the location to be central enough for the activities we did. Not far from golf courses, beaches, shopping and Sanibel Island, we found it fulfilled our needs. It is not in itself a "resort-like" atmosphere, but I'm sure that similar accommodations in such an area would cost more. We had a nice time on our trip and left the owner with a list of things we thought would help the experience for future guests. We have confidence Mary will act upon most of these suggestions.
