The location is very convenient. The beach was dirty with plastic trash. We had to ask for our room to be cleaned which was annoying. Loved Bowmans Beach and Captiva.

Disappointing

The employees didn't want to help when you asked any question. Our bathroom was not very clean. Kept losing cable tv access. Didn't have enough towels. The photos online are NOT as they appear in person.

Our newest “favorite place to stay” on Sanibel. Staff is friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean, spacious and beautifully decorated. The pool is large and clean and comfortable to swim in, and most importantly the beach is a short distance from our door! Reasonably priced and lovely. We will be back!
