This January will be our 4th time. We stay longer every year. Great place, clean, cool, wifi (maybe from a neighbor?!). DVD player...Sanibel library has an awsome selection. The best part are the owners...just plain nice. You can bike all over from here, minutes to the beach. If I had to say something bad, I'd have to make it up!!!!!... more

We have stayed at the Driftwood for many years and have NEVER had a problem with roaches. Sometimes we do get a few ants though. The owners, Jane and her husband, are very nice and always do their best to keep the unit pleasant. Don't expect high-end luxury units; these are older 4-plex units, but reasonably priced. And you can... more

I was in the Captiva/Sanibel area for a wedding. My girlfriend, friend, and his girlfriend decided to share a two bedroom cottege. We should have known what was coming when she sent the conformation in the mail to us and the weekend and number of bedrooms we reserved were wrong. We got to the place exactly at check in time... more

This is a terrific place and a great value. The owners are so helpful. It is close to everything. We would NEVER stay anywhere else when visiting Sanibel and would recommend it to all of our friends. It is decorated in a comfortable Florida beach style and everything you need is there, including shell buckets and beach chairs We love... more

From the beginning, I should not have put a deposit down on this one. It took a few emails and a month before I got a confirmation that she took my deposit, and fwd me the directions to where this place was that I found on vacationhomes.com. When we arrived, it was 11 pm, so we just went to sleep.... more

This is a basic cottage with a friendly, laid-back owner very close to the beach. We came by taxi from Fort Myers airport, which is about $50 and rented bikes for 3 days for $25, which has been a wonderful way to get around as the island is covered with bike paths and trails. It's nice to be self-catering for... more

The Driftwood Inn in Sanibel is fantasic! Jane is extremely friendly and accomodating. We had absolutely no problems or frustrations, just a nice relaxing weekend. Everything we needed was there for making our own meals, pots and pans, silverware, etc. Beach equipment is provided too. The cottage is not fancy but it is clean and comfortable. It's like staying in... more

This is a great property if you are looking for value for your money. Nothing fancy - just four cottages (two duplexes). Very reasonable rates compared to others on Sanibel AND they accept pets at rates that are much less than their competition. There are washer/dryer facilities on the property and each cottage comes with beach chairs and a beach... more

We got a great deal on airfare so decided to do a quick trip to Sanibel Island where we had never been. After looking at several accomodations Driftwood Inn seemed to have what we were looking for at an affordable price. Upon our arrival we were pleasantly surprised. Our one bedroom cottage was extremely clean, furniture and bed were comfortable,... more

The lovely little Driftwood has 4 spacious units. Each unit has two bedrooms. (If you only need one bedroom they will close off the other bedroom and charge accordingly.) The managers/owners (Jane and Ira) are pleasant people and were around when needed yet respected our privacy as well. Each unit has a kitchen with enough counter space to actually cook... more
