Inn was very nice and very clean. Great location. Beach is 5 minute walk away. Cute cafe, ice cream shop & gift shops across the street. The owner Dawn was extremely accommodating and checked in a few times to ensure all is well. Free bikes, beach chairs/umbrella and beach towels to use. We definitely plan on staying here again.

We live in Naples and took a few days to get away. The location was fantastic. Rode the free bikes and explored the island in island time. Had a fantastic massage. Ate good food and slept well. Close to a great breakfast place and chocolate shop. Highly recommend and will be back. Thank you!

Thank you for the wonderful review and for taking the time to spread the word about our local escape! I am so happy you found us and your " staycation " get away. We are seeing a lot more locals looking for a few days away and a bit of island time. Just a three mile bridge over to the island but it can feel like a world away. We look forward to your return. Best wishes, Dawn

First trip to Sanibel island. Inn very cute. Some FYI, staff is not on grounds most of time, however can be within minutes. There isn't maid service, which was fine for me. Towels and linens available. I stayed in birdhouse so may be difficult for a light sleeper due to being on a main Street and very busy restaurant across the street calling names on wait list every few minutes. When I go back to Sanibel, I'll definitely stay at this Inn. However, I'll request room in the back of building. Hope this helps!

Scared me upon arrival, when the front desk lady was confused when four of us walked in telling her reservations for two rooms, two families were here. With four of us standing there she got very confused. The grounds and rooms are nice and cozy, and nicely furnished. A great bed!! Just one suggestion.. a little paint, and grouting and fine cleaning would be the star on the top of the tree!

Katie, Thank you for taking the time to write about your family visit with us. I remember your arrival and the confusion having two large parties with a total of four rooms enter at the same time;not all together; I was a bit confused who was with who. My apologizes! I am glad you enjoyed the furnishings, grounds, and the bed. Thank you for the cleaning suggestions.- We're on it. ;-) Best wishes, Dawn

Great little gem. Perfect position on the island with a great breakfast place across the road. Free bikes to explore the island at your own pace. Shame there’s no pool but plenty to keep you occupied. And the beach is 5 mins walk away with chairs and cool boxes etc available free to use to take down.
