We enjoyed exploring the island,. Despite the damage caused by the hurricane, the island is lovely. We especially liked the JN "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge.

Nice quiet place to stay. Friendly Islanders.
Nice quiet place to stay. Friendly Islanders. Sea shells not as ample as implied on internet. Beautiful beach. Easy to access. Do not like the seaweed! Water is pretty, waves were pleasant. Gramma Dots Restaurant and Sanibel Grill good places to eat.

An island in recovery from hurricane Ian but so welcoming and beauty every where u look weather in the flowers, water, shelling, sea life, bird watching, biking or visiting the shops!! We will definitely be going back every chance we get!! 🩵we actually got groceries and ate at the cottage, more traffic than u can imagine around 3-5 at main intersection but they have that covered with a traffic patrol !

Sanibel is still a great place to vacation.
Sanibel is still a great place to vacation. Although it is heartbreaking to see all the damage from the hurricane, it's still a great option. We've been going to Sanibel for about 8 years and it's our happy place. We can't wait for the island to renew itself.

Wie always choose this hotel on Sanibel: Awesome beautiful place and houses, built and decorated with much love, utilities for shelling on site (a washplace for shells is outstanding!), own grassland with showers and hammrock, directly behind the beach, quiet location, bar (Crazy Flamingo) reachable by foot and the staff is really nice! An 0815 ibis hotel room in a concrete building you can have everywhere, but this nice cottages are extraordinary!

I like what the hotel did to improve the pool environment and access to the beach. They also offer many additional activities. The room was clean and there was no musty smell in the drawers, a situation I experienced in previous stays.
