Sanibel Island Beach Resort
10/10 Excellent
"Highly recommended !"
Sanibel Inn
10/10 Excellent
"The Sanibel Inn is absolutely beautiful! It’s new, clean, welcoming and modern. It is in a great location, has a great beach, amazing rooms and amenities. I didn’t realize they offered free bike rentals, which was easy and enjoyable. Wonderful experience! We will be returning!!"
Casa Ybel Resort
10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely loved my stay at Casa Ybel. The beach is steps away and all of the units have back doors/ porches to make accessing the beach even easier. Check in was ok. The young lady helping me even held my groceries since our room was not ready yet and then had them delivered to our room. Some of the young maintenance staff came in while I was checking in and seemed to try and start an argument with her, but she kept professional. I would absolutely stay here again."
Sundial Beach Resort & Spa
10/10 Excellent
"Kayak rental - chair was not attached, Life vest straps were not working. Had to get help when son was knocked off kayak. Coast guard was called. Tie dye - shirt was not 100 % cotton so die all rinsed off."
Kona Kai Motel
10/10 Excellent
"This property has been restored and updated after hurricane damage. The whole property is cut as can be. We stayed in one of the suites. Lots of room and the kitchenette is fairly well stocked. There were two small things that would have made our stay even better: more towel hooks or bars in the bathroom and wine glasses in the kitchenette."
Tarpon Tale Inn
10/10 Excellent
"Far exceeded our expectations and hopes. We were welcomed by the owner who gave us a tour, oriented us to the Inn and community, showed us the amenities, which included bikes for getting around with lots of biking lanes on the Island. Also the amenities included everything for the beach-beach cart, chairs, umbrellas, towels, shell hunting equipment and bucket with a sink for cleaning the treasures, outdoor heated showers, table and chairs on the partially enclosed porch outside your door for eating, hammock and bench swing every few cottages for relaxing. Quiet, within two blocks of both bay and the gulf with white sand beaches… beautiful. Set within trees with designated parking place for each room. Our room which was one of the smaller ones, was great for my wife and I, with a fridge, microwave and dishes. Restaurants right across the street and next door, with a couple of stores within walking or riding distance, even some grocery stores a short ride down the street. We will be back!"
Sunshine Island Inn
10/10 Excellent
"The property was clean and well kept. It’s close to every thing. The pool just a few steps out of every bungalow. Full kitchen and use of out grill. Being able cook out was a blast and beat the hustle waiting at a restaurant. Staff was fantastic. I’ve already booked another stay."
