Sanibel Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Loved our stay at Sanibel Inn! Right on the beach, They had lots of amenities and helpful staff. Would highly recommend."

Pointe Santo Newly Renovated Gulf View Ground Floor 2BR Condo

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely amazing from beginning to end! The condo was so comfortable, well stocked, and the perfect location to get anywhere on the island. Easy walks to both the pool and beach, which were also both stunning. Kitchen had everything we needed, including pantry staples and a plethora of plates, glasses, and utensils. Beds were comfy. Beach chairs and umbrellas were in great shape. Great A/C and high quality ceiling fans in every room. The water pressure was also incredible, which was so needed after a day in the sun and sand. Wendy was a lovely host, from providing detailed instructions and information about the condo and Sanibel restaurants and activities before check-in to her amazing responsiveness throughout the week. We will absolutely come again and are already looking forward to our next trip!"
