There are endless Florida summer vacation destinations to choose from. So, why should you pick Fort Myers Beach as your next vacation destination? We offer a slower pace than other busier destinations, allowing you to kick back and enjoy the family-friendly atmosphere and Old Florida charm. From our world-class white-sand beaches to breathtaking Gulf Coast sunsets, there are countless reasons to plan your summer escape, and Edison Beach House puts you right in the heart of it all!
1. Easily Accessible from Major Cities
One of the top reasons why visitors come to Fort Myers Beach year after year is its easy access. We are just a short detour away from I-75 and the Southwest Florida International Airport.
- Driving: Fort Myers Beach is easily accessible from I-75, making it a simple road trip from many Florida cities and neighboring states.
- Flying: Fly into the Southwest Florida International Airport from dozens of major cities in the United States, including Atlanta, Chicago, and New York. Rent a car and drive the remaining 20 miles to Fort Myers Beach!
2. Beautiful, Soft Sandy Beaches
Southwest Florida is famous for its sugar-white sand beaches. While Hurricane Ian impacted the area in 2022, nearly all local beaches have since reopened to the public. Stay at Edison Beach House and enjoy easy access to the beautiful Fort Myers shoreline just steps from your room. Relax in the sand, cool down in the Gulf of Mexico, and soak up the sunshine.
3. Gorgeous Sunsets
Fort Myers Beach is famous for its gorgeous sunsets and provides a clear western-facing view over the water.
