Top Sanibel Island Southern Beach Hotel Reviews

Sanibel Island Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"This place is a cute boutique style hotel. The room was clean and spacious for a couple. The pool was clean and relaxing and the beach was just steps away. The front desk staff wes friendly and attentive. The bathroom is nice with great water pressure but it has a nightlight that cannot be turned off and the bedroom has a frosted glass door right next to it so the room was never really dark at night. My wife was fine with it I just wish I could have turned it off. And I recommend getting a room on the second floor as you can hear people walking above you. Other than that this was a great place to stay. Would highly recommend."

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

10/10 Excellent

"Our 6th trip to Sanibel!While we’ve stayed at this group of condos before and liked the location quite well, this was our first stay at THIS Aunit.The penthouse full-view of the Gulf was extraordinary!! Exactly as described! And very nice that, as the condo is at the farthest end of the building, there are no neighbors visible!Everything about the condo was top of the line! From the way the kitchen was equipped to the high thread-count silky sea-green sheets…and everything in between!A lit-from-within tower for beautiful glasses and a similarly lit wine cabinet were two of my favorite things! Communication w the owners was outstanding! Couldn’t have wished for better. And keyless entry w passcode! No searching for the key! And a telescope! Tripod-mounted for simplicity. Fabulous views!Will definitely return to Sanibel for a 7th trip & hope to find this highly sought-after condo available! Jim & wife Terry from Michigan"

Breakers West B5 Beach side condo with pool

10/10 Excellent

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

Sundial F407 | Charming Coastal Getaway | Sea Breeze

10/10 Excellent

"This condo was spacious, comfy beds & pillows with room darkening curtains (which was nice to be able to sleep in). The beach was super close! The elevator was helpful but slow. My only suggestion, since this condo only has a view of other condos, would be to plant something colorful in the "sand circle" outside, so the balcony has a better view. Otherwise, would definitely stay here again."

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."
