The Seaside Inn was just perfect for our first beach vacation with a toddler. The outdoor pool was right outside our cottage and a lovely stretch of beach was just one minute's walk away. There was dedicated parking for the cottage guests as well as ample parking in the main parking lot. The front desk staff was helpful and showed... More

We stayed here in 2011. Location is great, everything very clean and the staff was very helpful. It was wonderful to just get up and walk a few steps and be on the beach. Shelling was great too!! Would highly recommend this hotel. I apologize, it has taken me so long to write this review.

Second year staying here, the staff is so great and knowledgable about the island and history of both Sanibel and the hotel. Room was clean and they kept it clean for the 10 days we stayed there, staff feels like family. Pool is nice and the beach, umbrellas and lounge chairs were always out calling me to the ocean.

We decided to return this year and try April for our stay instead of February because of the temp etc. April is definitely warming in the 90's and we had a great time. We got the same cottage this time as well and though the week started good we noticed our room was not getting cleaned until late in the... More

This place will never win any awards for style but it is right on the beach. The rooms are comfortable if not particularly spacious. And the staff is extremely nice. There were very small insects running around the kitchenette area (though insects are to be expected by the beach where guests leave the door open or go in and out... More

My husband and I stayed in one of the duplex cottages and were very happy with the unit itself. It was perfect for a couple but could also have an extra person or couple of kids on the sofa bed. It was clean and charming in it's furnishings and decor. The bed was comfortable. They provided plenty of pillows and... More

My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon. The staff was friendly. Tresann was the front desk manager and was a terrific resource to find what was available on the island. Seaside inn had everything we needed. Bikes, beach towels, chairs, nice pool, umbrellas. Very clean rooms. The property is the perfect place to get away from it all.

I took my son here for a special trip to celebrate his 13th birthday. The grounds and condition of the property were as expected from previous reviews...an older, somewhat retro, small, intimate, casual inn in very well maintained condition. I really have no complaints at all. Staff were super friendly and welcoming- kind of made you feel like you were... More

We had a great time in Sanibel at the Seaside Inn. We had the beachfront cottage, which I recommend. It's worth the money to be able to look outside and see the beach view. It also allowed for more privacy than the beachfront rooms. The cottage was nicely appointed and clean, it was big enough for 3 people. The beach... More
