Beautifully updated rooms with great lighting amenities in all rooms. Excellent A/C and hot water, plenty of towels, coffee, and daily cleaning sevice. Mesh screen on porch as an absolute MUST due to the intense no-see-ums. Some still get through but the screen helps a LOT.

This is my 4th stay at the Sanibel Inn. I love the friendliness of the staff. I had a great update about the island from Ryan at the front desk. Leon was kind and thoughtful as he had my towel and umbrella ready for me at the beach. The rooms are beautiful and clean. I loved the new updates such as the motorized blinds and the lighting features. The kitchenette and bathroom were stunning. I cannot wait to come back to my second home!

it was our 23 anniversary and i wanted my wife to feel special, we stayed a few times at Sundial resort nearby, an upscale resort. we have never stayed at this resort. but the Inn was way less expansive and we had a group of 10 friends. We came here , the best decision. My wife and kids loved it. The property was all newly renovated rooms were all new , well decorated , the beach was steps away , i fished on the beach and caught a few fish. my kids loved the pool. the guy in front desk was very helpful and super friendly, he should get a raise. never going back to Sundial again. this is my new home.

The property is pretty with boardwalk to the beach. Loved having all the food options for lunch, quick bite, or a drink. Pool is nice with chairs and umbrellas and you can get towels there. We checked out bikes, paddleboards, and pickle ball everyday!
