My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at the Anchor Inn. We came down for a destination wedding so we had to learn the area pretty quickly. Diane was very helpful with many things—from towels, beach chairs, and an umbrella to advice about getting around the island and recommending places to eat. The room was clean and the cost... more

We very much appreciated the well appointed, spotlessly clean room and are looking forward to our next visit, hopefully, around same time next year. Leigh & Joe D. Maryville, TN more

I didn't want to leave. Not only is Sanibel an awesome place to visit, the Anchor Inn was a delight as well! Diane the manager was a pleasure and was very knowledgible about the island and where to go. Myself and a group of friends stayed in one of the cottages which was perfect in every way. Very spacious and... more

The Anchor Inn was about the only place I could find on the Island that would take dogs and was not 200+ a night. It was very clean and in a great location. Bike rentals were easy and we will stay again! Thank you to the staff for all of your help. more

We loved it!

We had a great time at Anchor Inn. We loved the A frame cottage, it was perfect for us and the kids loved the loft. The front porch with the beach umbrella was great for meals out in the fresh air. We were impressed with how clean everything was. The pool was very nice also, especially the water being perfect... more

Nice and comfortable. Very private and relaxing. We had a standard room and it was quite comfortable for 2 persons. Nothing fancy, but had everything we needed to just chill. We rented bikes and rode to beaches and restaurants. The pool is clean and enjoyable. Periwinkle is always busy, but hanging out at this spot was great. Away from all... more

The Anchor Inn is right of the main road that runs through Sanibel. It's not horribly far from the beach, but not all that close, either. My mom and I brought our bikes, and it was a quicker than it would be to walk. It might be a 15 minute walk if you are just strolling. I didn't like all... more

This must be one of the nicest places to stay on Sanibel. It's very well located for a start, right on the main drag (but this being Sanibel, of course it's fairly quiet). This means you are within walking distance of some good bars and restaurants, as well as a store. We stayed in an efficiency (room including a kitchenette),... more

First of all, I have to point out that Anchor Inn is one of the few pet friendly hotels/motels in the island. I love spontenaity and planning last minute trips and trying to find a place were dogs are permitted is always a hustle. To my surprise most of the island is dog friendly, this including the beach and some... more
