We stayed at Pink Shell Resort in Fort Myers, Florida for four nights in January, and I was honestly surprised by how perfect it was for an active family like ours. In this video I walk you through exactly what our trip looked like—from flying in (yes, I flew solo with all four kids and it was actually a breeze because they’re such pro travelers now) to touring our two-bedroom White Sand Villa. Having a full kitchen, two bathrooms, a washer/dryer, and a ton of space to spread out made a huge difference for our family of six, and I loved having that kitchen table with the resort + beach view for easy room service nights. I also share all the fun stuff that makes Pink Shell such a great family-friendly beach resort: three pools (including the main Octopool with zero-entry for littles), daily activities like games/crafts/tie-dye, and tons of options to stay busy—shelling and nature walks with Ranger Rob, a Back Bay kayak tour through a mangrove tunnel, wave runners, and even renting a six-seater golf cart to cruise into Fort Myers Beach for lunch and souvenir shopping. We ate at Bongo’s Bar & Grill, did the free buffet breakfast at Jack’s, and ended with dinner at Rae’s Real Italian with panoramic sunset views. If you’re planning a beach trip with kids, this resort makes it easy to actually relax while still keeping everyone entertained.
