Top East End Hotel Reviews

Sanibel Island 1BR Walk to Beach - Colony Inn 05

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and nice"

The Lovebird-sleeps 3! Great value on Sanibel-walk to dining, shops and Historic East End Lighthouse

10/10 Excellent

"Reminded me of old Florida with the small "cabins". We walked to the shopping area next door and a quarter mile to the beach access down the street. Be aware the walk maybe too much for some people. We enjoyed the fact it was on the other end of the island away from traffic. Best surprise was our visitor the last morning. We were having coffee on the patio and a beautiful coyote loped thru the back. He was very unaware we were sitting and watching him. Please don't scare him away !!"

Seahorse Cottages on Sanibel - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Our cottage was great! It was clean, and the bed was comfortable. It was nice to have porch areas out front and back and it was an easy walk to the beach and restaurant/ice cream shop. It was also nice to have the small pool to cool off in. Would definitely stay here again if we ever come back to Sanibel!"
