With that said, Sanibel Siesta on the Beach is an absolutely gorgeous place to stay if you're visiting Captiva Island. The staff is great, and the condos and grounds are excellently taken care of. They have recently rebuilt and renovated some parts after the storm causing some damage. I would come back when I'm back in Florida, and stay here for a 3rd time if I can! I'm so sad the Starfish Grill closed down, that was such a good place to dine at, on site!

5 stars for a solid rental company…read more My wife's family likes to check out various parts of Florida each summer. We all decided it would be fun to check out Sanibel Island during our last trip. However, we found it was difficult to find rental properties in the right location (near the beach) for the right price for our timeframe (an entire week). Fortunately, we came across Island Vacations of Sanibel & Captiva. They were able to set us up in a nice little house on Gulf Drive right off of Periwinkle. It was less than a block away from a fantastic ice cream shop (Pinocchio's) and a short walk to beaches on both sides of the island. The house itself was very nice. It was kept in very good shape, included lots of instructions and helpful guides for the area and included a shed full of fun beach toys! Everything in the house was convenient and worked well, which made it easier to focus on having a good time during our trip. Overall, Island Vacations on Sanibel and Captiva provides a solid rental property option. While the property wasn't a mansion, the great location, cleanliness, small perks and great price make this a great option for people who are looking to visit the island.

Sanibel Inn is one of the best places to stay on Sanibel Island. I've visited twice (2021 and…read more2026), and the updates since Hurricane Ian have made a big difference. The renovated rooms are some of the nicest I've stayed in--modern, clean, and really well done. The pool area is great for families, and the beach is perfect for shelling. If you're into finding shells, this place is hard to beat. They also offer great amenities like bikes, beach chairs, and umbrellas, which makes everything easy. The food at the bar is also really good, especially after a long day outside. I'd definitely recommend staying here, and we're already planning to come back.

They offered free paddle boards, kayaks, bikes, pool/beach toys, pickle ball & tennis. The staff was excellent- one night we had an issue with the motorized shade in our room. Gail at the desk & Lloyd in maintenance were professional & fast at rectifying the issue. The grounds & pool are gorgeous!! We enjoyed the tiki bar & sitting by the fire pits in the evening.

We had a very good stay here…read more Our only minor glitches were during the reservation experience prior to coming and at checkout. After getting conflicting prices and confusion regarding one of the packages on the hotel website, I wrote to the general manager. I was subsequently helped by Alba in the reservation center who reached out to me. Frankly, she saved the day. Our check-in with Christie at the front desk was lovely and seamless. Our room was ready so we were able to check in a tad early. Christie gave us our key cards, vouchers, wristbands and car placard and explained all the things we needed to know about our stay. Her pleasing personality made us feel welcome. Our room was in the D section on the 4th floor. The one-bedroom with balcony had a partial gulf view, king size bed, living room/dining room, and full kitchen. The bathroom was modern with a walk in shower. We purchased a package including breakfast. Each morning we headed to the Captains Catch in the main building. The buffet was very good. There was plenty options from which to choose. The omelet/ eggs to order station was a nice addition. The first night, we ate dinner in the Japanese restaurant at the hotel. You need reservations for the hibachi section, but not for their sushi bar/table area. It was very good. (See separate review). We also visited the pool and the hot tub one day. And enjoyed walking along the beach. As we are from Florida, we didn't sit out sunning nor use the rec facilities except one day we stopped by to get towels. We did play a couple games of bingo by the pool, but that's it, and we did have a drink at the tiki bar. Drinks were just okay. Checkout was not the easiest as mentioned above -- after I realized I'd been charged an incorrect amount. Jamie did not handle the situation well. Luckily, I'd saved Alba's contact info so I called her from the checkout/front desk. She verified the correct charges. And an adjustment/credit was made to my credit card billing. Bottom line, this would have been a five star review. And the facility itself deserves that. But after a lovey relaxing mini vacation for my husband's birthday, my treat, I once again had to deal with a glitch that I thought was already resolved. And that's now my last impression.

A special thank you to Kari, the resort manager, whose leadership clearly shows in every detail of the property.

Beautiful beach, inviting pool, great barbecue areas, and a welcoming atmosphere all around. We highly recommend Sanibel Moorings and look forward to returning.

Each unit has everything you need for the beach as well... we will definitely return! These are not complaints, just suggestions for future guests.. we did need to buy a beach cooler & ice packs..buy appropriate amount of water as there is no water or ice maker in frig.. be mindful of your adjoining neighbors as the bedroom walls are a little thin... thanks to the B family for all the love they have for the island and they're little inn

Located on a quiet side street only about 5 minutes walk to the beach and conveniently located to a number of great restaurants and shopping. We really appreciated the shared laundry facilities, full kitchen, bikes to use, beach chairs and wagon. The owners are very accommodating and receptive to suggestions for improvements and to make the stay more enjoyable. If you want a pleasant stay in Sanibel, the Driftwood in is the place. We've made our reservations for next year already.

They sent someone by who stated the tv needed 2 parts and someone else who told us they were going to replace dryer after we left. I called for a partial refund who claimed that the tv was an "Act of God" since they condos had been struck by lighting 2-3 weeks ago and they had no control over the dryer. The agent told me that they do not give any refunds. Not happy with this company. You take your chances on whether aspects of the condo works.

They charge additional fees, being a management company, which is understandable, except for the fact that you receive nothing for what your buying. The properties are dirty and not maintained well. Expect plenty of ants and roaches. That linen fee? Expect no beach towels to be provided. About 6 typical hotel style bath towels, a couple of wash clothes, and just the sheets on the bed. They do not provide toilet paper for the bathrooms, tissues, or paper towels other than to get you started. The pool was not maintained at all on the property of our most recent stay. Overall, we are very disappointed!

Unfortunately I did not sleep a wink here, I am a super light sleeper and unfortunately the room next to ours had a couple of baritone guys that woke up at 4:30 in the morning ughhh...the beds were not the most comfy unfortunately either adding to a bit of my suffering as well. Giving it 4 stars. I unfortunately should have gotten some earplugs after the first night. I felt like they were talking to me since their convo was so close to our headboard. Owners seemed to go above and beyond so probably unfortunately just the loud guests we were next to combined with my light sleeping tendencies!!!

Independent establishment is well run and caters to all anticipated needs as part of your stay: beach chairs, beach umbrellas, a wagon to bring stuff to the beach, beach towels, some beach toys if you have kids, bikes, bike helmets and even sunscreen/bug spray if you need it! Rooms are neat and clean, ours wasn't spacious but we were outside most of the time. Each unit has an outdoor patio area with reasonable privacy, a table and two chairs. There are also other communal areas outside to relax, chat and read in the shade of the trees on the property. Would recommend this to anyone going to sanibel. Fantastic!
