The Egret Residence at The Sandpiper Inn

Summary:
The Egret Residence is a two bedroom, two bath, unit located in the newly renovated, Sandpiper Inn. Festooned with gorgeous palm trees and an ever present ocean breeze, The Sandpiper Inn has been coveted by generations of travelers as the most colorful and fun inn on Sanibel. Conveniently located just a matter of feet from the beach, multiple restaurants, shopping, and bike paths, this property boasts one of the best locations on all of Sanibel Island.

The Space:
This unit is approximately 550 square feet and located within a Key West Styled motel known as the Sandpiper Inn. Characterized by bright hues of pink, blue, and orange, the building and property are extremely peaceful and serene, perfect for escaping the hustle bustle of city or suburban life. Inside of the unit is a full kitchen, allowing guests to dine in and skip the expense and crowds at local restaurants if desired. Living areas include new TVs, a sleeper sofa, and dining nook with full dining table. This unit also features 2 bedrooms, separate and detached from the living area, each outfitted with a double bed. Also included are two full bathrooms with walk in showers.

This unit is comprised of a large living area with a sleeper sofa for extra guests and a dining table, a full kitchen, 2 bedrooms with double beds and 2 bathrooms.

Each unit includes access to a communal washer and dryer area. Beach furniture, towels, and bicycles are also available to guests at no additional cost. It is also unique among island inns in that it is surrounded by only residential homes in an extremely quiet area of Sanibel, away from the hustle and bustle of more crowded touristic centers of the island. Furthermore, built in the 1950s but receiving a full structural and interior reconstruction in late 2023, guests can enjoy the vibrant history of these pre-causeway inns while not sacrificing at all in the comfort or amenities departments.

Guest Access:
Guests have full beach access less than a 3-5 minute walk from their front door, using the Donax St. extension beach access. Additionally, each unit includes access to a communal washer and dryer area with folding table located on-site. Beach furniture, towels, and bicycles are also available to guests at no additional cost.

The Neighborhood:
This suite is located within the historic Sandpiper Inn, on Donax Street. Known for its proximity to the beach and all dining/shopping that Sanibel has to offer, Donax Street is one of the most highly coveted areas on all the island. Bikers consider the area to be by far the best and most accessible on Sanibel, due to its equidistance to both Periwinkle Way (where all shopping and dining is) and East Gulf Drive (where all of the gulf beaches are located). For those that do not want to bike or drive far, guests can easily walk to the Sandollar or Blue Giraffe restaurants, both located just a few minutes walk from the front door of this suite. For those willing to venture out a bit further, Tipsy Turtle, El Cielo, Matzaluna are located just a mile down the road at the intersection of Donax Street and Periwinkle Way.

Getting Around:
You are close enough to get around by walking or on bikes, but a rental car is suggested if you would like to explore Captiva or neighboring areas

Other Things to Note:
Guests must complete rental agreement prior to the stay

Great!
We loved this place! Access to a washer/dryer (NOT coin operated) and the free bikes were a big plus. The location is great. We stayed 6 days. Highly recommend it.
