All the amenities are excellent. Location is fantastic. The units closest to the Resort Center are by far the best. The distant units with no balcony feel too isolated. The sushi bar was outstanding.

Great place tucked away behind their sign. It's a little oasis. I loved jumping in the pool after riding my bike home from the beach. I had no complaints. The check in out process was easy. I never saw the owners. I had my rental bike delivered to the property. I've been coming to Sanibel for years and always wanted to stay here, it did not disappoint.

    The beach was so wonderful!! I loved the shells! I want to go back again with the proper shell finding strainer and containers for found shells to take home. Beach was so peaceful. There is a shell washing station as you exit the beach.

    The shelling was good on Sanibel, but better on a public beach near the tip of Captiva. I got better shells that were actually "whole". See pics below. We ate at Doc Ford's Restaurant & the food was excellent. Another night, we ate at Cajun Mudbugs. The food was so-so, seafood was overcooked & dry. Frankly, I'm a better Cajun cook. They had live entertainment. We were expecting Acadian/ Cajun music, but instead they had a single musician, who played popular & oldie music. He was a good guitarist, but his singing was off key & extremely loud. You couldn't hear yourself think, let alone have a nice conversation at the table. It was an expensive ruined evening.

    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.

    Well situated on Sanibel in peaceful location (VERY peaceful!) right by Lighthouse Beach. Apartment was everything you could wish for - well laid out, well equipped and very comfy. Location is not far from the main area with a couple of restaurants within walking distance. Sanibel itself has recovered well from the awful hurricanes in recent years and we were very glad we chose to return there.

    This resort was one of the few now opened 15 months after Hurricane Ian. There was nothing at all wrong with the facility; it was just not the cottage like facility we had patronized for the previous 27 years. Our “resort” was the Castaways. Hurricane Ian removed that completely from existence. Sanibel island Beach Resort is a hotel with direct access to the beach.
