It was our first trip to Sanibel and we (husband and me) really found a great place. The Sanibel Inn accommodations were very nice and the staff was excellent. The beach is right there with anything you need. Chairs, umbrellas, paddle boards are delivered to you on the beach. And the tiki bar by the pool and beach insures you never go hungry or thirsty. You don’t need to leave the property if you don’t want to. They really did a nice job remodeling the property and grounds after the hurricane. Will definitely be back.

Stunning Sanibel Inn

We were so pleased with the Sanibel Inn. Unfortunately, we were only there for 24 hours but everything was just so nice. We loved every detail of the thoughtful renovation from the floors to the ceiling! We plan to go back and spend more time there!

This room/building was not in good shape and it was certainly not ready to be rented out: 1- floors were dirty the moment we walked in 2- elevator down for the duration of our stay 3- a/c went out our last night. Offered a seperate room but 2 family members were already asleep so tried to sleep with balcony doors wide open 4- hot water out for the first day 5- blinds broke upon first use. Staff couldn’t fix 6- main entrance door would not lock from the outside (door frame needed adjustment) 7- constant construction (somewhat expected) peaked our last day there with incessant banging on our ceiling 8- cleaning staff were inconsistent with toilet paper/towels/etc 9- the blinds were basically see through letting all the light from the next building over in at night 10- items in room Not put together (examples: TV wall mount units on the dressers, no phone, lamp on floor) 11- restaurant closed On positive notes - the grounds/landscaping was nice - they provided bug spray (we still got eaten up) - maintainence staff and hotel personal were personable and kind - tiki bar staff were all great - proximity to beach was great - love the screened in balcony (wish it had a light) - toward the end the owner was responsive to our concerns and made some financial restitution for our inconveniences. Hiven even more issues after our discussion, it was not sufficient enough for us to recommend or return at this time I can’t ever remember having so many issues with a vacation rental

The property is rather old but the staff and their attention to details and humble approach makes this place remarkable. I have asked for some modifications in my reservation and they were very caring about it, if you are looking for peace then this is the place. It has everyone that you might need for unwinding.

Nice property on the water with great amenities. Tiki Bar had great food and drinks. Enjoyed the pool area and free bikes. Property is a little dated and bed mattresses are worn to point of you roll to the middle of bed, they definitely need replaced. Overall great stay though!
