This was my 4th stay at the Castaways. We have stayed in the bay cottages and in the beach cottages. We love the beach cottages, we always request #1, I think it is the biggest one. We stayed with friends as well. I read other reviews people have left, and I am surprised with some of the neg. ones. We... more

Just returned from cottage #11 at Castaways. Furnishings are sub-garage sale, the bedding should just be thrown out. We had brown excrement on our toilet, a half eaten cake in our refrig, no light bulb in our lamp , a valance ripped off the wall, and hundreds of flying ants . more

Our family just got back from a week at The Castaways. We had a wedding and family reunion there. Our family took up about 10 of their units so I saw inside all of them and they were all great! The wedding they had on the beach was so beautiful and the bride and groom looked amazing during the ceremony... more

First of all, I read the reviews listed and saw the one that rated the resort by the sand fleas... They are No-See-Ums and on every beach in Florida when there is no breeze. The other comment about the palmetto bug (roach) in the room. In Florida there is always a chance to get them on rare occations. I found... more

We rented 3 cottages at the Castaways on Sanibel for a "girls" trip. Having never stayed there before, we were pleasantly suprised at how charming and well equipped all of the units were. The bedrooms are large, loved the screened in porches, and the walk to the beach is a short one regardless of your cottage location. The employees were... more

What a fantastic time we all had. My dad's 70th birthday celebration. Several friends from local area came, we rented cottage #1 on the beach. Tons of room, great setup, close to the beach - it couldn't have been more perfect. All adults - on the verge of their 2nd or 3rd childhood. There was a great area with a... more

Just when a long awaited visit to Sanibel Island couldn't get any better; my husband and I happened upon the Castaways Beach and Bay Cottages. We stayed in unit 20. My only complaint is that our stay could not have been for a longer period of time. The cottage was so clean and homey. The grounds were nicely kept and... more

Black mold and roaches were the highlight of this stay. Tiny bathroom, no place to hang towels, moldy areas around tub and bath tub faucet, Pool was nice and walk across to the beach was no problem, but the room, unit 26, was an overall nightmare. Next time we go to Sanibel, we will either stay on the "mainland" or... more
