Top Sanibel Sea School Hotel Reviews

Sanibel Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Nothing we didn't like. Room was clean and well maintained. Bathroom and kitchenette were both very nice. A 2-3 minute walk from our room to our lounge chairs on the beach. Beautiful water and sand. Pool also very nice even though it was pretty warm most days. But that's to be expected in August in Florida. Poolside tiki bar had cool bartenders and a nice happy hour. Highly recommend."

Wake up to sweeping Gulf views from every room in this upscale 3BR/3BA townhome in Sanibel’s exclusive Cyprina Complex. Enjoy effortless island living with a whole-home carbon-filter water filtration system!

"We have stayed in Sanibel many times over the last 25 years but this is the first time we have used VRBO. We had a lovely time, the house was beautiful and very well stocked with everything you could need. We live on the East Coast so had brought beach chairs, towels etc none of which were necessary.The unit we had was on the water and it was magical to sit and look out at the water and there were daily Manatee visitors across the canal.We hope to be back soon! Thank you for a lovely time!"
