Matlacha Holiday Rentals

"I absolutely love what they’ve done with this place. I’ve been staying at this hotel for years, back when it was owned by other companies, and it has always felt safe and quiet. If you asked younger me, I’d say the food and bar used to be better, but I wouldn’t trade that for the massive upgrade they’ve done to the rooms. I can be a bit of a hotel snob, and this property impressed me. Everything felt spotless—no stray hairs, no lingering smells, none of that “Orlando Water Park Resort” scent I can’t stand. Even being so close to the beach, the room felt fresh and exceptionally clean. The sheets, bathroom, and overall setup were perfect. The food and drinks at the bar were great, and I was thrilled to see my old buddy Melton still working there! What really stood out, though, was how friendly and accommodating the staff was. That made all the difference. This hotel is special to me. I grew up in Sanibel, as my grandmother lived right across the street, and I spent a lot of my life staying here or hanging out at the restaurant and bar. She’s now at Shell Point retirement home just off the island, and on this visit to see her, I decided to stay at the newly opened hotel. I couldn’t have been happier with that choice. From thinking I’d never stay in Sanibel again, to finding an affordable, clean, safe, and welcoming hotel that I’ve seen evolve over the last 30 years, it was an amazing experience. I highly recommend it."

"Nice clean and friendly people "

"Aside from the generator outside our room this was perfect"

"From the moment we checked in to the moment we checked out it was absolutely phenomenal. Props to the hotel staff they definitely make this hotel worth it. I normally go to Orlando but this was better than any hotel that I've stayed at there."

"Nice Reno rooms, still limit dining options around the island!! But still great stay!!"

"The Pink Shell was an amazing property. The staff were so helpful and fun! The villa we stayed in was so clean and had everything we needed and more. I didn't realize they had washer/dryers, dishwashers, stoves etc in them. I also loved the adult only pool. The family friendly pool stayed very active and we preferred to hang out with our drinks and relax. Fort Myers Beach is still in repair after the hurricane last year. That was the only thing that I could see that would make me give it 4 stars for the area around the property. Lots of construction. But, it still was nice around the resort and loved having the bikes available as well. We will definitely come back. "
