Everything is close, the beach, the tiki bar (right near the pool), and of course the pool. We had just what we needed, 2 bedrooms, and a pullout (2 adults, 4 kids). Unit was great layout, location, mattresses were excellent, pillows were nice and fluffy. I can only speak for the unit the occupied---BAD NEED OF AN UPDATE. 30 year-old... More

Being british we would have liked a kettle to make tea but could have easily bought a travel kettle. A coffee machine is provided and fridge. Room was very clean and... More

On day of arrival, we were put in a king room when a 2-queen room had been reserved. It took them until nearly 5pm to get the correct room cleaned and we were exhausted and starving by that time after an early flight. We had a problem with ants in the room, but they did take care of the problem... More

This property is lovely. We stayed 6 nights in celebration of our anniversary. Rooms are updated and extremely comfortable. The grounds are lovely. The staff is friendly and accommodating. We loved the availability of the pool bar and met a lot of interesting people. Pool towels, beach chairs and umbrellas, kayaks, and bicycles come free with the room rental. We... More

We visited Sanibel Inn for our first getaway without our kids. I can't say enough about the location! We stayed in a King room suite with a gulf view. The kitchenette was small but perfect for the two of us. We shopped for things we could easily warm up or prepare without cooking. The staff came every day to clean... More

Just finished our 4 night stay. It was the first trip away without the kids in some time. Sanibel Inn is just what we needed. Clean rooms, easy beach access, nice pool bar to grab a sandwich, and quiet. All staff were friendly and helpful. Check in and check out was easy. We will be back next year!! Thank you... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Immerse yourself in nature at Sanibel Inn. The Inn offers a wide variety of accommodations and amenities surrounded by beautiful gardens and tropical palms. Come to Sanibel Inn to discover why Sanibel Island was just ranked #1 Favorite Worldwide Destination by Arthur Frommer and #5 Top US Beach by Trip Advisor. Just like the tropical flowers in the gardens, Sanibel Inn reflects the colors of the island. From the brightly painted exteriors to the warm soothing interiors of the guestrooms and suites, Sanibel Inn provides a relaxing and comfortable beach hideaway in one of the newly renovated guestrooms and one bedroom suites. Sanibel Inn also offers two-bedroom condominiums that are perfect for families or larger group of friends who wish to stay together. The Sea Star Café is located at the Inn and serves breakfast, lunch and dinner with traditional café fare with an island twist. Sanibel Island is all about nature. Discover nature up close by bike via the 22 miles of paved bike and walking trails. Visit J. N. Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge to see a variety of migratory birds and explore an undeveloped mangrove ecosystem. Take a walk on the beaches and find rare shells such as the Junonia or 200 other species of shells. Take to the waters of the Gulf by kayak for a different point of view. Feel like a friendly tennis match, Sanibel Inn has a newly refurbished court on the grounds of the Inn or visit The Dunes Golf & Tennis Club. Sanibel Inn guests are also invited to golf at The Dunes where the greens wind through 75 acres of natural lake view fairways and Audubon Cooperative Society wetlands. After a morning of exploration, unwind by the pool and bathe in the warm Florida sun. Just steps away, the Beach Bar offers cool libations and poolside snacks. Sanibel Inn offers a gateway to the various activities on Sanibel and the perfect spot for a relaxing day in the sun. ... more   less
