Love this place! It is clean and never found ANY bugs. Fully equipped kitchen was great! We ate often in the screened in porch off the kitchen. Our unit had 3 bedrooms. The master bedroom has all new furniture, flat screen tv and a deck. Living room also has a flat screen tv, DVD, CD and another deck. As with all time share, maid service is weekly. The place is very clean There are extra linens and towels in the main bathroom closet. Bikes, heated pool, tennis courts, hot tub, we're so nice to have on the premises. We had access to 2 beautiful beaches great for swimming and shelling The bike path is right out side of the resort. Nice fishing pier a short walk on the beach away Anything you need, just ask management. They are very helpful. I would definately come back! Fun times!

There are fancier resorts, places which are nicer, newer. Lighthouse is not swanky. It is large. You can let your hair down and put your feet up. And relax. It is at the quiet end. The master bedroom is huge. There are two baths. Some units have three bedrooms, others two plus a den. Patios. Florida room. Pool. Hot tub. Tennis. Washer/dryer. Wifi. Free bikes. Grills. Full kitchen. One minute to the bay, four to the gulf. Nice staff. But most of all, lots of square footage. This is the exact opposite of staying in a motel room; sleeps six.

After reading some of the reviews I wasn't expecting much. What a surprise it was. The rooms are very large, no problems with Ants, and three porches to sit out on and look at your shells. The staff is very friendly. This is the best equipped timeshare resort I've ever stayed in.You were not lacking for any cooking utensils, excellenet knifes, plently of dishes etc. A short walk across the street on you are on the beach. Bikes are available for you to you. The rooms have beach chairs, towels, umbrella for you to use. The pool is small but very cute. It is definetly a older crowd that stays at this resort. I would recommend this resort for families with small children and seniors. If you are a sheller this resort is an excellent place to stay. It is next to light house beach. Restaurants are close by. We had a great time and we experienced extreme low tides so the shelling was fantastic.

Staying at the resort has had its ups and downs.
Like others have written the rooms are generous in size, and the kitchen does come
fairly well equipped....however it also comes with ANTS. So much so they have an entire
page of information on the refrigerator and bug spray for guest to combat the army of ants.

Thankfully we live in town and brought our own linens as the linen storage is a storage locker that is open, open to bugs and pest. The bathroom had hair in the tub, on the floor and I'm sure it wasn't ours because it was there when we walked in. Again, thankful we thought to bring cleaning products just in case. Can't imagine that would be something a guest from out of town would pack in their suitcases.
Facility did have some remodeling done, likely after the hurricane in 2004-2005.
Could stand a quality refreshing, ex: new carpet.
Great location, large patios, ample sleeping area's for a big family, bikes provided at no cost and Sanibel is a gorgeous as ever this time of year!

We stayed in room 305 for a week and really enjoyed our time here. The resort is located at the East end of the island near the lighthouse. Our room had a view of the bay, and a short walk takes you to the gulf side. We had a great time shelling and enjoying the relaxed atmosphere of Sanibel.

We had rain while we were there, but it wasn't a complete washout, and we found plenty to keep us busy.

The condo was huge, and had three balconies. The master bedroom is spacious and very comfortable. The second bedroom has two twin beds which I suspect might be made of bricks. :( The den/third bedroom had a sofa bed which had a memory foam mattress which was very comfortable.

The kitchen had everything you needed. The office keeps a stock of items that you can request on a first come first serve basis. They even have crock pots down there.

The staff was very helpful and efficient. Having the bikes at the resort to use when you wanted was a great bonus as well. We put them to good use.

Great place - we will be back!

We stayed in room 202 and were pleasantly surprised how large and clean it was. The kitchen was fully supplied with all amenities including wine glasses, and there were plenty of towels for bathing as well as the beach. We exchanged through Interval causing us to be cautious as, some of our exchanges places were very questionable in the past however we were so pleased with the Lighthouse Resort that we will definately stay here again. The walk through the sister resort across the street to get to the gulf is not unpleasant it takes all of a few minutes. One unpleasant issue was the discolored water which had nothing to do with the resort but the Florida government allowing the release of water from Lake Okeechobee into the gulf causing the discoloration. Going to Florida and not seeing the pretty blue green water is a huge disappointment. All in all this resort is a wonderful place to stay.
