Flamingo Inn
Guest rating: 4.0 / 5
Overview
Flamingo Inn is a 12-unit apartment-style property located in Fort Myers Beach, Florida, close to the Gulf coast. The building offers self-catering accommodations rather than traditional hotel rooms, each individually furnished and decorated, making it a good fit for travelers who want more space and flexibility than a standard room provides. Free self parking and free Wi-Fi in public areas make arrival and daily logistics simple.
Rooms & Units
Each of the 12 air-conditioned accommodations comes with a microwave, coffee/tea maker, hair dryer, and a 34-inch Smart TV with digital channels. Bathrooms include showers, and units are equipped with irons/ironing boards, ceiling fans, and phones with free local calls. Housekeeping, including change of towels and bedsheets, is available on request rather than provided daily.
Amenities & Recreation
On-site facilities include barbecue grills and a picnic area, giving guests a place to gather and cook outdoors. The property is pet-friendly and wheelchair accessible, and heating is available alongside air conditioning for year-round comfort. Additional recreational activities are available on site or nearby, though some may carry extra fees.
Dining & Location
While Flamingo Inn itself is self-catering rather than offering a restaurant, it sits within walking distance of several dining options, including SOUTH BEACH GRILLE and Junkanoo Below Deck within about 2 kilometers, plus Legno Italian Kitchen nearby for Italian fare. A public bus stop at Estero Blvd @ Mound Rd is just 112 meters away, and Southwest Florida International Airport is roughly 19.5 km from the property, with Punta Gorda Airport further out at about 55.6 km.
