This room/building was not in good shape and it was certainly not ready to be rented out: 1- floors were dirty the moment we walked in 2- elevator down for the duration of our stay 3- a/c went out our last night. Offered a seperate room but 2 family members were already asleep so tried to sleep with balcony doors wide open 4- hot water out for the first day 5- blinds broke upon first use. Staff couldn’t fix 6- main entrance door would not lock from the outside (door frame needed adjustment) 7- constant construction (somewhat expected) peaked our last day there with incessant banging on our ceiling 8- cleaning staff were inconsistent with toilet paper/towels/etc 9- the blinds were basically see through letting all the light from the next building over in at night 10- items in room Not put together (examples: TV wall mount units on the dressers, no phone, lamp on floor) 11- restaurant closed On positive notes - the grounds/landscaping was nice - they provided bug spray (we still got eaten up) - maintainence staff and hotel personal were personable and kind - tiki bar staff were all great - proximity to beach was great - love the screened in balcony (wish it had a light) - toward the end the owner was responsive to our concerns and made some financial restitution for our inconveniences. Hiven even more issues after our discussion, it was not sufficient enough for us to recommend or return at this time I can’t ever remember having so many issues with a vacation rental

The property is rather old but the staff and their attention to details and humble approach makes this place remarkable. I have asked for some modifications in my reservation and they were very caring about it, if you are looking for peace then this is the place. It has everyone that you might need for unwinding.

Nice property with great amenities!

Nice property on the water with great amenities. Tiki Bar had great food and drinks. Enjoyed the pool area and free bikes. Property is a little dated and bed mattresses are worn to point of you roll to the middle of bed, they definitely need replaced. Overall great stay though!

The rooms are overdue updating. Bland outdated decor. Ratty rugs and plan dates bathrooms. Outside of the units very unattractive especially compared to the great location and beautiful lobby building. Pricey for the level of decor in the units.

Liked that the property was clean and quiet. Would recommend a few more room amenities. Had no forks, only one soup spoon and a couple of knives. Also a little more daily cleaning would be great.

This resort was small but quaint. The front desk was very nice and helpful. The room was beautiful and the perfect size for my family, also very clean. The housekeeping staff was also very friendly and cleaned well. The pool was small and usually crowded as was the bar area and they did run out of towels, lounge chairs and umbrellas on the beach but we eventually got them. They offered bikes, paddle boats and kyaks free which was great. The beach was wonderful and very peaceful. The Italuan restaurant closed the kitchen 1 hour before what they stated they closed but there were plenty of outside restaurants that were still open. All in all we would come back to the Sanibel Inn on Sanibel Island, loved it!
