From check in to check out the property was excellent. Staff was so very helpfull and full of info about the area. The pool area was well maintained and was so inviting. The property is a 2 minute walk to 7 different restaurants which are all great. The beach is a 3 minute walk. The room is so quiet and comfortable. I would stay again on our next visit for sure!

Great location and views. Clean and comfortable. Very close to the beach and easily walkable . No parking fee was a big perk since everything was in walking distance. Good restaurants nearby. Will definitely stay here again.

We rented the cottage and it had everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable. Our teenage daughters slept on the pull out sofa bed with no complaints of bars in backs etc. The beach was about a 5-15 minute walk, depending on where you decide to post up for the day. I personally rent chairs either at the Lani Kai (does not allow coolers) or just to the right of them, (if you want to bring your own cooler). The pool and hot tub were both are the perfect temp for all of our likings. We enjoyed that it was off the strip and not such a busy pool, especially during peak spring break season. We had a minor issue with our shower not draining and leaking but it was repaired by the time we got back to the cottage from the beach that day. Thank you for a great stay! We will be back again. PS try the pizza and listen to the live music on the bay, you won't be disappointed!

Rooms very clean. Beautiful pool. Upper Deck Bar with entertainment was a lot of fun. Below the Upper Deck Bar is a great restaurant right on the water with all glass windows for a great view. The food was excellent and the manager and all of his staff treated us great. Will definitely return for another stay and support the on property Bar and excellent restaurant.

This was my first time staying in one of the cottages across the street from Mantanzas Inn Bayside Resort, and it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The Bayside staff provide a very clean and tidy residence. The staff was also friendly and informative. The parking beside the cottage was adequate, somewhat protected, and convenient.

Great spot for a weekend getaway, very close to bars and the beach. We'll definitely be back!
- 5/5
Parking is very convenient. Spots right in front of the rooms and the lot was never completely full. Petey's Upper Deck is one of the coolest places to have a couple drinks with a view of the bay. The room was very clean. Loved the deck off the back and the common seating areas along the canal. We'll definitely be back!

Place was nice but bed was not comfortable.
- 5/5
We enjoyed our stay! Very convenient location, right on the water, clean with recently renovated rooms. We went for a girls weekend and loved it! The only thing I can’t rave about was they had very poor water pressure, not sure if it was because we were on an end unit, but it was a trickle out of the shower head which can be a little difficult if you have a lot of hair, no hairdryer in room, and wish they had a full sized mirror in the room. Regardless I would definitely recommend staying there! It’s a beautiful property!

Bar was priced way to high as were most bars on fort myer beach.
- 5/5
Only thing we didn’t know about and didn’t like was the noise at the end where the bar/ restaurant is. We stayed in room 102 and that was our only complaint. Even tho we are drinkers, we aren’t late night people. So you have the noise till entertainment ( which was good) was done. Then every morning around 4/5 the workers are unloading food trucks. Slamming what we thought might be bags of ice. So not enough sleep. We would definitely stay there again, we would just ask to be in another building. Enjoy.

I stayed in room 142 - perfect for me as a single traveler. My only minor inconvenience was the noisy neighbor the first 2 nights - but that isn’t any fault of the Inn. Would recommend to my friends and family and already trying to figure out when I can come again!

The office only open during business hours. Plane landed at 7 so office was closed. I was able to get keys from lock box, that part was easy. Next morning left before office was open. Worked all day and got back to condo at 1 am. The key fob they gave me did not work. I went to office, closed. Called number given answering machine. Tried after hours maintenance, sent to voice mail. I’m a single lady outside. I called the number on their web site and thankfully it gave a different maintenance number. I called it and went to voice mail. It is now 1:30. I was desperate so I tried that number a couple more times. And a very nice gentleman answered. The only problem was that he was on vacation. He said he would try to get someone there to help. 25 min later someone came out. It ended up not my fob being an issue but the sensor for fobs. He tried his master fob and a master key card. Neither worked. 15 min later he came back with a real key. And it finally opened at 230. Had an early flight. Not happy. They are not prepared for locked out issues after 7. Would not go back. BUT the guy on vacation and the poor guy who helped were great.

The location is close enough to walk to the beach but not on the main road to have to deal with all the traffic, noise, or people. A tucked in gem! Rooms were simple but clean. Provided everything that could be needed for multi night stay. Parking was perfect with designated spaces for each room. Nice,cozy outdoor sitting areas on canal and by pool. Staff was friendly and very accommodating.

Wonderful little place tucked away down by Ft. Myers Beach. My room was everything I needed it to be. The bed was really comfy and plenty of amenities like a full sized coffee maker, mini fridge, and microwave. The pool was amazing but the hot tub was way too hot. My friend and I ate at the restaurant and the food and the view were both incredible. I will likely stay here again next time I'm in Ft. Myers.

Room was very convenient location to beach, restaurants and bars. Once we parked we were able to walk everywhere. Room was good size, beds comfortable. Bathroom sink had no vanity for cosmetics, hair tools etc.. inconvenient to keep all that on counter in main room. Pool water was extremely warm, basically same temp as hot tub so not refreshing at all after laying in sun.

The room looked like the picture! Very nice; it is like your own apartment 2 blocks from the beach! The bed was too hard, but everything else was really nice. We bought a lot of our own food at the grocery to make things cheaper. Be forewarned: there is live music playing late next door at the bar every night, but if you like that sort of thing…enjoy. We went in February and it was a bit cold outside…plenty comfortable in our room. Nice shower, nice, fully loaded kitchen; really a good bargain. Beats being in a hotel room! Make sure to eat at the restaurant; you won’t be disappointed.

We had another great stay at Matanzas Inn! The “cottage” is across the street and up a stairwell into a great studio apartment with a king bed that had a full size fridge, cooktop with 4 burners, microwave, cookware and a dishwasher. Very comfortable accommodation! The real bonus is being able to walk around and enjoy all the restaurants & bars with live music everywhere. Penny is a great lady and we look forward to our next stay here!

I also saw and killed the largest roach I’ve ever seen in the bathroom. But all in all it wasn’t horrible. And the bracelet that you use to unlock the room door is very modern. The pool and hot tub looked great but the weather was not cooperative so we didn’t use either.

We had an enjoyable weekend. Thanks to the Matanza Inn completing renovations after Hurricane Ian caused devastation to the island. We have spent many long weekends here and continue. Rooms are very clean and spacious. The property is well maintained. Penny is very personable and was very accommodating.

We planned a staycation for my friend's birthday weekend. Room was a great location overlooked restaurant and the water for an amazing view! Penny was very accommodating to our needs. We were able to walk to a lot of places. Pool and Spa were very relaxing. The only issue I would mention is the HVAC until was leaking water all over the floor. Otherwise, we had a great time and will definitely be back in the future.

Our new staycation place ! We live in Fort myers. Sometimes life gets to be a lot and we go find a place to unwind. We never knew this place was there. We absolutely loved it and it was everything we need to escape. We will be back a few times a year !

A few issues but overall ok. Have stayed many times but this was not one the best.

The bay is quiet so I was able to work one day out on their back patio which was a nice treat. The walk to the beach and main strip was 5 min. After check-out we were able to come back and use their boat house shower before boarding our plane. They were so hospitable!

The place was a nice “old” Florida type property, not a cookie cutter. Staff was very friendly and got us set up with everything we needed. Bar on the water with great views and food. No need to go anywhere else. This is our new go to spot on FMB

We loved the location & it was so quiet no matter the time of day. We were able to check in early without even asking which was great. & the restaurant is so good. The big thing we weren’t happy about was the pool hot tub closing at 8pm when it was even still light outside. We really just wanted to relax in the hot tub after a long day and we couldn’t so it ruined the nights for sure.

We really enjoyed our stay! Located close to everything, we walked to the beach, the farmers/craft market, live music at the park, everything. The pool and hot tub were very clean, although the closing hour varied and we missed out on the hot tub time one night. We paid the little bit extra to have a waterside room, and that was well worth it! The view and sitting area outside the room was beautiful and a calm reprieve from the noise and crowds at the beach. Beach chairs and towels being provided, if you ask, were very helpful! It would have been nice to have the room more well stocked, but anything we asked for at the office, they provided; i.e. hair dryer, toothbrush, plates, paper towels, etc. We would definitely stay again if we're back in the Ft. Myers area.

This property was unique because it was right on a channel of the bay. It was so fun watching the boats come in and out of the channel. Our room overlooked the bay and it also was right near Pete’s bar and Grill where the music was so fun to listen to in the evenings.

We had a nice 7 day stay and the location was great for getting around. However, the location is also noisy. Our balcony suite was right by the bar and restaurant which was very noisy. The room was clean, but needs updating such as; bathroom fan, working USB ports and 110v outlets. It has easy parking and easy access to the bridge. The views from our balcony were very nice and their restaurant has great food.

5 minute walk to Crescent Beach plus many restaurants and other small eateries including food trucks and other vendors. Penney, the property manager, and the staff are very helpful. They should add a couple of extra umbrellas in the pool area and the pool water was too warm. Overall, I consider the Matanzas Inn an excellent value for the money compared to comparables in the area.
