“What a perfect Inn to stay at on Sanibel Island. The staff were incredible, a special shout out to Mikey and Kayla for an outstanding response to our needs. They are very caring and only want their guests to feel welcome and at home. The rooms were immaculate and the grounds were beautiful. The renovations they have done make it a perfect spot for a vacation. We ate in the Tiki Bar when we first arrived and the food was good. A nice spot to eat lunch. Our visit to Sanibel Island, but not our last. We will be staying here again. Thank you for a wonderful trip to your island.”

“Hallelujah! The wait is over. The Sanibel Inn has finally reopened its doors to paradise. As usual, we had an absolutely wonderful time. The rooms are very comfortable and designed with a coastal feel with many upgrades. The grounds are very tropical and will look amazing once everything is in full bloom. It was wonderful to see some familiar faces, Kayla and Tyrone and meet new ones too. Bobby the bartender made us some yummy drinks and Taylor & Macy served up delicious food at the Tiki Bar. Tyrone, Jorge and Mamuka at the Beach Hut had our chairs and umbrella set up on the beach every morning. The staff was super friendly and always looking to help make your stay more memorable. Kudos to the general manager, Bill Wellman for making the reopening such a success. WE have already booked our return in September. Can't wait!”

“Not long but still very challenging. Want to come back now that I have a little local knowledge of the Dunes course. Greens could have been a hair faster but still rolled nicely. ”
