The Sandpiper Inn offers a great value on Sanibel Island. We stayed for a long weekend in March and had a wonderful experience. The owner/manager was very helpful upon check-in by familiarizing us with the island and nearby amenities. They provide all the essentials for a great beach weekend: a hammock, grill and outdoor seating, bikes, beach chairs and umbrellas.... More

Rooms are always clean and neat and quiet and they are always upgrading. The Owner/ manager Laurie is a pleasure to deal with- i call and make reservations and chat when she has time... More

I stayed at the Sandpiper Inn this past August for several days. I was down visiting family and it worked out perfectly that the inn had a vacancy. Also traveling with me was my dog and the manager was nothing but accommodating and very attentive. The room was very clean and well appointed. The decor was charming and appropriate for... More

Owner/Manager is a psycho. My wife & her friend had a run-in with her that was completely uncalled for. We left the next morning and won't return. Property needs maintenance attention and beds are past their "use by" date by about several years. My back is still hurting. Not a good experience.

My husband and I stayed here the weekend of May 6th. I was a little hesitant when he booked Sandpiper Inn based on some reviews, but everything turned out great. It is in a GREAT location, and the rooms are clean and lock just fine. The bed was comfy and I was happy to see the managers provided a fan... More

Very cozy and relaxing. Close to the beach. Also a beautifull garden with palm trees, a hammock and even the possibility to bbq. Also... More

This is the worst place you can possible stay at. The owner is rude and yells a lot. The unit smelled, the AC didn't work, the door wouldn't lock and the owner was totally unreasonable. We moved out and found a much nice place for the same price....

I was pleasantly surprised when we arrive at the Sandpiper Inn. Our apartment was very clean, simple and had everything that we needed: linens, beach towels, beach chairs, bikes and a full (yet small) kitchen. We were a 5 minute walk from the beach or a 5 minute bike ride from a grocery store/diner. For the price, I don't think... More
