We always visit Sanibel & Captiva when we are in Florida and this time decided to view the properties available in person. This property ticks every box. It is genuinely as close as one can be to the gulf beach and the Lighthouse is only a (complimentary) short bike ride away. A generous al fresco breakfast is enjoyed on a... More

We picked 'Song of the Sea' for a three night stay in Sanibel, and we were very satisfied with what we found. We had the 'Seaside Boutique Suite', on the first floor, which looked out toward the Gulf. The room itself consisted of a largish living room with a small kitchen, a bath, a small screened porch on the beach... More

Our room was great. A clean room with a real Bahama feel. It had a nice bathroom and a decent shower. Tile floors, Tommy Bahama style bed, and beautiful wooden sliding shutters. You could tell, it was an older Hotel that had been renovated nicely with upgrades, although a bit pricey. The beach wasn't too far, but It would have... More

We took a family trip to Sanibel this May. This was our first time visiting Sanibel and the Song of the Sea was more than accommodating to anything we needed during our stay. The hotel is very close to Periwinkle Way where you will find most of the shopping and best places to eat. The room was very clean and... More

This is the best place to stay when on Sanibel Island. There are only a few rooms tucked between lush green foliage. It is near the beach with a beautiful view. The breakfast is delicious with fresh squeezed juice! The staff is extemely friendly and helpful!!!

My husband and I stayed here to celebrate our wedding anniversary and had a great time. We only live 2 hours north but Song of the Sea made us feel like we were miles away from home.

We had an excellent stay at this hotel. The coastal king room overlooked the pool and gulf, it was a great place to stay. The beach was very nice, the grounds were beautiful and the staff very friendly. The amenities, breakfast, bikes, etc, made the trip even better. The Sanibel Inn next door provided more amenities, including a beach bar... More

This place is amazing. Eco friendly and clean with friendly staff. Nice choice for breakfast. I love the fact that it was full and we hardly saw anyone. We grilled out one night and they were prompt in coming to set up the grill. Also, free use of bicycles which is so awesome.

On the whole an excellent review. Great for beach lovers, breakfast superb, some minor upgrades would make it totally perfect. I recommend a stay here and the sister hotels, for sand, sea, comfort and moreover peace, you couldn't ask for better, can't wait to come back.

A five night stay at the Song of the sea provided the quiet relaxing break we had been looking for. A very welcoming first day with a bottle of wine and a smile.
