Top Bailey - Matthews Shell Museum Hotel Reviews

Breakers West B5 Beach side condo with pool

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely wonderful experience all around. Not one complaint, We will be back."

Island Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Loved it! Had a great time. Beach, beach, beach. Incredible place!"

Ultimate Sanibel Beachfront! Island Beach Club, Top Floor, West-Facing, End Unit

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome place "

Shalimar Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"The Good: this place was remodeled in 2025 and everything is new looking and the rooms are beautiful. There are free to use laundry machines, free to use beach chairs and you can get free coffee pods for the Keurig machine in your room. The beds are comfortable and the air conditioner is super quiet. Nice and close to the beach. The Bad: this is a noseeum hell! These nasty little bugs are everywhere. The rooms have screens for the outside sitting area but the noseeums can get through the screens. We bought the bug spray they sell at the office and it could not keep them away. Also, you have to pay to rent a beach towel which is $5 a day. They have beach cruiser bikes, but you have to pay $20 per day to rent them. The swimming pool is nice but the noseeums make it unuseable. There's a place on the roof to watch the sunset, but the noseeums make it unuseable. Bring strong bug spray if you come here!"

Rare Walkout Condo On Sanibel Beach

8/10 Good

"The condo was nice and clean and location was great. Our only complaint was that it smelled so strongly of mildew that we could smell it on ourselves after leaving the unit. After only three nights, we got home and had to wash all our clothes because everything in our bags smelled like mildew. Bummer."

Newly Renovated Two-King Condo, Poolside with Free Bikes

10/10 Excellent

"Comfortable, clean and accommodating condo. Beach access was easy and pool was wonderful. Excellent communication with host."

10/10 Excellent

"The condo had everything we needed to make the most of a lovely long weekend with our family of five (we brought a pack and play)! The walk to the beach was easy enough for our small kids. The host was helpful and responsive when we forgot something in the unit after check-out. Can’t wait to come back to Sanibel!"
