Mina Edison was known far and wide for the many kindnesses she bestowed upon guests who frequented her home in Fort Myers. Though winter visitors came from all over to confer with Mr. Edison, they often stayed to enjoy the beauty and warmth of Southwest Florida and Mina’s famous punch. Our vision of a perfect Florida beach house is one of a pleasant and genteel establishment where the Edison’s dedication to hospitality can still be experienced today.
The beach house’s architectural and interior designs are reminiscent of an old Florida style home. 24 luxury suites comprise the elegantly appointed guest quarters. Suites are offered in seven spacious floor plans, arranged to comfortably accommodate honeymooners, couples, and entire families.
Fort Myers Beach began as a tranquil fishing village and slowly transformed into one of Southwest Florida’s most visited coastal towns.
In September 2022, Hurricane Ian left a powerful mark on Fort Myers Beach, bringing devastation to the coastline — and to Edison Beach House. But in the face of adversity, our spirit endured.
Our team worked tirelessly to restore and rebuild, driven by the love of our loyal guests and the strength of the community around us. With refreshed spaces and renewed energy, we reopened our doors, more committed than ever to delivering the peaceful, beachfront experience that defines us.
Although we are still working on the construction, we have made phenomenal progress in the cleanup and rebuilding of the hotel. Just look at Edison Beach House today in comparison to the Fort Myers Beach hurricane damage shown above.
It was hard, but we came back stronger — thanks to our dedicated team and the guests who stood by us.
