Sanibel Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing time at The Sanibel Inn. From the front desk staff to the bar tenders and on site property managers we give it a 10/10. The rooms were very clean and staff came in daily to bring clean towels and make the bed etc. The property is extremely well maintained and clean. The bikes were an extra bonus! The very best experience we’ve ever had at a hotel/ resort. We will be back!"

Luxury Villa Lighthouse Across from the Beach

8/10 Good

"The property is beautiful. Great location. Close to everything. We walked to the beach. Watched the manatees and iguanas in the back yard. I don't remember seeing in the addbut their were bikes and beach buggies loaded and ready for borrow. There were a few issues with our stay but Break Away was great and very responsive to our issues."

Beachfront Condo + Heated Pool, Hot Tub, Tennis + Walk to Dining

10/10 Excellent

"We loved Jill's condo! The location was excellent. Short walk over the boardwalk to the beach was lovely. Water station to rinse off sandy feet and beach items was so handy too. The newly renovated community pool was outstanding. Lots of pool items to use from floats to noodles...we were so thankful to have access to them because we didn't bring our own since we flew down. The condo was great and fit our family of 5. The kitchen was all we needed for a week stay and many meals at the condo. The screened in balcony had a beautiful view of the ocean and pool and the screen kept out the pesky no-see-um flies. There was also a closet filled with beach chairs, beach umbrellas, and beach toys. Beach towels and bath towels were also included. So wonderful to have these! Thank you!! :)"
