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.

Tarpon Tale Inn is a fabulous stay! My boyfriend and I spent a short weekend here, and it was above and beyond our expectations. The room was so clean and quaint, and the location could not be in a more perfect spot! It was literally a 5 minute walk to the beach! They had sweet little amenities such as a small fire pit area, a hammock for lounging, each room has a small outdoor patio perfect for breakfast or dinner! Not to mention they provided us with beach towels, shelling gear, even beach chairs! I can’t imagine staying anywhere else on Sanibel now, especially for the value!! You simply cannot beat Tarpon Tale Inn!

Loved the proximity to the beach. Everything was new and nice. They did a great job rehabbing the property. The pool wasn't open, that was a bummer but they are still doing construction. I would stay here again.

    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.

    From our room on to the beach in less than 5 minutes walking. Gorgeous beach with sooo many seashells to collect. Children loved the main pool and the ice cream shop within the hotel. Amazing assistance at the hotel. We had a wifi connection problem and the engineer came to our room at 10 pm to help us fix it.
