My husband and I just took our first solo vacation in 5 years and stayed here. It was PERFECT. It's a hidden gem in a very quiet neighborhood. The bay is about 500 yrds away and the beach is about 2 blocks down a quiet dirt road. Right around the corner is a gift shop and deli and breakfast place,... more

Seahorse Cottages were exactly what we were looking for. Off the beaten path, quiet, cute and reasonable. The room we stayed in was very nice. Not extravagant, but homey. The cottages had everything you would need, beach towels, umbrellas, chairs, wagons and bikes for your use. If you are looking for a full resort with lots of activities, this is... more

My husband and I visited Sanibel Island for the first time earlier this month. We were a bit apprehensive about booking a place site unseen but after reading the reviews on Seahorse Cottages decided to take a chance. We are happy to inform all future readers that it was a wonderful escape for both of us. The cottages have everthing... more

Fist off, Sanibel Island. Wow. Absolutely beautiful. Beautiful water, awesome wildlife, friendly people, amazing restaurants. Love, love, love, the island. Here are my ratings: Best Restaurant: Doc Fords Sanibel. Hands down. We ate at 11 different restaurants while we were there; everything from fine dining to fried food. Doc Fords is the only one we went to twice. AMAZING FOOD!... more

We just returned from 5 nights at Seahorse Cottages and I would definitely recommend it. It has a convenient location between the bay and the gulf, only a short walk in either direction. At night you can sit outside on your own little deck and hear a pin drop. I had read a negative review about the small size of... more

We just got back from a wonderful week on Sanibel at Seahorse Cottages. Having found this group of cottages on the internet we were a bit uncertain as to what we would find, but we are so happy to say it was EXACTLY as wonderful as it looked on line. Seahorse Cottages is a small secluded group of cottages located... more

I finally got myself to take the time to write a review for the Seahorse Cottages and that in itself should tell you how much I enjoyed my stay. My fiance and I stayed in the studio cottage for 7 days and had an amazing vacation. The studio was very clean, had a well equipped kitchen with some utensils, dishes,... more

Great location, but..I am a stickler for bright and cheery and our unit 1 was so dark inside you needed the lights on during the day and to step outside to see if the sun was out. Even the large covered porch was dark. Surrounded by high bushes and trees made it too dark. The restaurant behind the building although... more

This review surprised us, so we looked back on weather.com to check on the dates you were here. You happened to hit on a spell of unusually cold and cloudy weather with almost an inch of rain which made everything seem less bright than usual. Sorry you had such gloomy weather while you were here but we are pleased you...

Our second time at this resort on our 6th trip to Sanibel; beautiful location, peacefull and quiet and close to everything, including major beach on the gulf (south side) of the island, a smaller beach to the north less than 2 minutes walk and lighthouse beach to the east, 5 minutes by car or bicycle; The reason we came back... more

The Seahorse Cottages provided a perfect stay while on the island. It was great to have a bicycle to get around the island. It was close to the beach and the grounds were very pretty and quiet. I would definitely go back. more
