We actually had 2 different rooms while we're at this hotel. RM 305 was ok. View from balcony was nice but the rooms was rather small and the bathroom needed to be updated. RM 301 was a 2 bedroom unit that we shared with my in-laws. This unit was beautiful with updated bathrooms and great shared space and bedrooms. The location of the Beach house is awesome - right on the beach and close to many restaurants. The staff was helpful in meeting our needs - moving rooms mid-stay. We were very happy with our choice and would stay there again.

My husband, one year old daughter and I just returned from a four night stay at the Edison Beach House (first family vacation). Everything about it was great. Location - especially with having a one year old it was great to just stroll down the street to restaurants, shops, etc. Loved the area of the beach we were on. Had we stayed on the other side of the pier it could have played out to be a different trip altogether since that seemed to be where the spring breakers were staying. We stayed in 207D which had the most perfect view on the beach over the ocean. Every morning while our daughter napped we'd sit out on the balcony and every single morning the dolphins would come swimming by. We were provided a high chair and crib which was key not to have to lug a travel crib. The room was equipped with everything we could need. We were able to pack super light knowing we had a washer and dryer in unit. We were a two minute walk from a couple of great restaurants - Yucatan and SOB. Beds were really comfortable, pool was heated and super clean, beach in front of the Edison was cleaned every morning, free parking, etc. I could go on and on but we obviously chose this place based on the existing Trip Advisor recommendations and I'm so glad we did. I would definitely return again.

It may not be the Ritz, but it was unsurpassed for friendly service. In particular, the lovely lady at the reception desk.
We arrived hours before the 3pm check-in time, but couldn't wait because we had 1pm tickets to a Spring Training game. I had no problem leaving suitcases in the trunk of our rental car, but did not want to leave electronics and other valuables, including fresh flowers, in a very hot car. Instead, we left them with the front desk, stored safely in their closet. It was a very nice gesture which was greatly appreciated.
The room was a fully equipped studio with extra pots, pans, glasses, dishes ... more thoroughly equipped than any VRBO we have ever stayed in. No complaints there.
There was a flat screen tv in the room, with a couple of tilting lounge chairs. Actually, the chairs, while very comfortable, were a bit too large for the room and took up valuable floor space.
The room had been meticulously cleaned, and a slight stuffy smell was eliminated within minutes from the breeze that wafted in from the balcony.
We did find it curious that while they stress it is a non-smoking hotel (Thank You For That!), they do allow smoking on the balconies, just one step outside the room. We did smell the smoke of another guest on an adjacent balcony while we were out there enjoying the view.
There were two queen beds, and a decent bathroom, though the exhaust fan was a trifle loud. We did not use the washer/dryer, but they would have been handy had we stayed more than one night.
The elevator is painfully slow, but we were usually the only ones using it. No problems getting luggage in and out.
Location is perfect for Ft. Myers Beach, as you can walk a short block to the "entertainment district", where there are a number of bars and restaurants, and more than a few t-shirt and souvenir shops. (We did NOT eat there. Please see a separate review for Fresh Catch Bistro, a short drive away.)
There is also a 7-11 store directly across the street, convenient, but costly, for last minute items like fruit, yogurt, etc.
They manicure the beach every morning, and there is a small pool, with lounge chairs, all private and separated from the sand.
One word of advice.. if you approach along Estero Blvd from the south, as we did, prepare to join a conga line. The traffic in season is pretty heavy on the 2-lane road.
Altogether, it's a good value, well located, and friendly little hotel. There are others further down the beach, but this is the closest to town.

My husband and I, our two teenage daughters and two of their friends stayed at the Edison Beach Hotel in February 2013. I cannot say how perfect this accommodation was for our group. For starters, the hotel is in the perfect location: just north of Times Square, away from the hustle-bustle but close enough to walk to everything. Second, our 2-bedroom suite was IMMACULATE! No scuffs on the walls, stains on the carpet or anything that could be viewed as dated. The kitchen had everything you could need in order to cook, and the desk drawer even had a ruler, scissors, paper clips and Post-It notes! The pool, which is on the smallish side, overlooked the beautiful white-sand beach. I really could not recommend this hotel more highly for a family vacation!
