What a neat little place we found here! Nestled in the palms. Nothing fancy but clean and very relaxing. There are several cute cottages lined up along a sandy lane. Just pull your car right up to them and walk to the beach. We stayed in the Blueberry Cottage. It had a queen bed in a bedroom, a double pull... more

With a fantastic off-season Florida resident rate of $99 per night for two queen beds and a kitchen, first floor, Pineapple building (2 story motel style with balcony and gulf-beach view), we trusted you other reviewers and were very pleased. Clean, well placed, with beautiful plantings, adorable pastel cottages, ccommodating workers, and lot of charm, we had a great three... more

Have stayed here before. First trip we stayed in the Pineapple Lodge and save for the bedding (which was atrocious in 2008) it was a clean and comfortable stay. We tried it again in June of 2009 this time opting for a cottage as we added two to our normally 4 count party. I was not aware of the fact... more

We only stumbled upon this hidden treasure by accident! During a two week vacation this was the only destination where I did not arrange for accommodation in advance. Once inquired at the local tourist center, we decided to drive up to the Waterside Inn and have a look at their last available room. Only when hearing the words 'last room'... more

Spent 7 nights in Room 128 Pineapple which has the most perfect view - just sit up in bed and look at palm trees, beach and sea (perfect - I wish I was still there)! Cost $198 a night plus tax (so definitely not exactly cheap) but if you want to stay feet from a perfect beach (where we were... more

We've just returned from a quick visit to celebrate Mom's 85th birthday at the beach, and Waterside Inn was ideal. We thoroughly enjoyed the cheery, clean and well equipped cottages, the proximity to the beautiful beach, and the laid back atmosphere. Because my folks don't get around too well, we appreciated being able to park right next to the cottage--... more

As lovers of the Florida Keys last year we decided to see a different area and went to Sanibel staying at the Waterside Inn. If you are looking for clean, straight forward casual accommodations in a setting that is as beautiful as it is peaceful then you cannot go wrong in selecting the Waterside Inn. We are making our second... more

If it's a relaxed island vacation you're looking for on a small budget, I would highly recommend. If you have bad allergies however, you may want to spend a little more. The location was PERFECT, the rooms were clean, meaning, no bugs, towels smelled very clean... but there was a strong , I guess you'd say musty, smell in the... more

The Waterside Inn is full of old Florida charm. Yes, it's not new. Yes, the sheets aren't 500 thread count, but what it does have makes up for what it does not. The beach is beautiful. The location is great. It is reasonably priced. The rooms are clean and no fuss. We stayed in the Grapefruit Cottage August 14-17 with... more
