We loved Mitchell's because it's homey and comfortable. We always feel like we are getting back to our own FL cottage, instead of like we are staying in a commercial place. You can keep the chain hotels and motels. There's nothing like it and we love the fact that our little dog is welcome, too. Great shelling beach! more

FYI - Starting today, the new owner, Joel, is taking over. He seems nice and wants to make improvements to the place. He says that he and his wife will be working in the office when anyone calls. I have been going to Mitchell's since the early 90's. I have seen management and owners come and go. I have never... more

Don't pay any attention to the old reviews about Mitchell's Sandcastles. There is new ownership and this place is a hidden treasure at the end of the island. We are an active Sr. couple from north central Florida and were looking for a laid back place to stay and enjoy the beach. It was our first time there and we... more

I have been staying at Mitchell's Sand Castles for over 35 years and I was apprehensive after reading the recent reviews and talking to my brother who was also asked not to return when he stayed at 4015 about a month before. When we arrived we found that a new management company had just taken over. They were very friendly... more

I just love Sanibel and the cottages are on a beautiful part of the beach. But since it was bought by the present owner it has become... more

I have loved my trips to Sanibel for many years. All of which spent at Mitchells. Many recomendations to friends. The past 5 years I have watched a steady increase in rates and a steady decline in the already very "Campy" cottages. I never really minded the run down nature of the old style Florida cottages because Itwas a short... more

The units are in desperate need of repair. The toilet fell through the bathroom floor in one of our units! They are unsafe and unsanitary. We live in Florida and have a lot of choices, this will not be one we make again. more

Great location with beautiful sunsets.! However the units are in desperate need of repair-updating. Owner is difficult and we moved to other properties on the island a couple of years ago. more

This is the most amazing little gem of a beachfront place to stay on Sanibel Island....I was shocked to read bad reviews of it because I LOVED it...it was like having my own little private beach cottage on the sand...I brought by little beagle and we played on the beach all day and read books and relaxed on our private... more
