With little time to spare, I found the Anchor Inn & Cottages on line in two days. Not knowing what to expect, I am so glad I choose this little piece of heaven. We stayed in the cottage that offered everything and more. The kitchen was stocked with all the necessary utensils, big cold fridge, comfortable beds, spacious, roomy, cool... More

We stayed at the Anchor Inn & Cottages over Thanksgiving holiday and it was an absolute treasure! We brought our two dogs and had an absolute blast. The cottage was very large, clean, and comfortable. The staff was incredibly nice and outgoing. Great local food and beach access close-by! We will be back.

YOU MUST STAY HERE! We stayed in the pitch roof cottages and they're so cute! There are two bedrooms - one upstairs overlooking the living room and there's a full kitchen too. We were going to move on the 2nd night but the owner offered for us to stay in the cottage for the same price as the smaller rooms.... More

I enjoyed my stay here at this Old Florida hotel. I'm a middle aged women who traveled alone on this trip and just wanted a no frills safe, hotel. This was exactly what I got. My room 16, was very large and immaculately clean and quiet. I never heard a sound from other visitors any time I was there. It... More

My boyfriend and I (and my Yorkie and Mini-Shnauzer) stayed at the Anchor Inn and Cottages for five days back in July. Overall it was a really good stay. We had a room with two double beds and so we had PLENTY of space. I was actually surprised at how spacious the room was for two people and two dogs.... More

I had stayed at here in 2009 and we enjoyed our stay then. The only bad thing I could say of my stay back then that there were always baby ants in the kichen but I could deal with that. This was not the case this time. We stayed there for 2 days in August 2012. It was supposed to... More

A great find-prices were wonderful for summer-room was perfect for us and our small dog and on end-best part we thought was that room was super clean and had 2 bathrooms which is great when you go to beach so you don't have to wait for spouse. Bed was a little firm for our taste-but overall it was a nice... More

My fiancé and I (27 and 26, respectively) stayed for a couple of nights in February while “road tripping” around Florida. We couldn’t believe the size of the room, which contained two very comfy double beds, big table and chairs, a TV and a clean and functional kitchenette. It was decorated in lovely “old Florida” style with nautical theme. The... More

We booked here because we have a dog. Many of our friends and family members were staying at other locations on Sanibel but they did not accept pets. The positive I can say is that the Anchor Inn is relatively clean. We had ants in our room, but other than that the room was clean and the public areas were... More

This is the management at Anchor Inn and Cottages and we're very sad there appears to be miscommunication surrounding your stay. As Innkeepers we were off that Wednesday and Thursday the first two nights of your stay. An employee that has been let go since was working the front office. Unfortunately no one in your party or in on our... More
