Stayed here for 5 nights and enjoyed it immensely. Right on a beautiful stretch of beach; close to the main part of Sanibel. The staff was extremely helpful and pleasant to deal with--very concerned that we had no issues or problems; very friendly. Accommodations were very nice and clean. We stayed in the Pineapple Gulf View Lodge and had a...

Thank you so much for taking the time to review our little piece of paradise. All the staff here at Waterside Inn does their best to make sure you have the vacation you've always dreamed of.

I was surprised at all the "glowing remarks" made about this place. Before I get into the lodging itself, I must describe the beach chair situation here; even though the beach is beautiful, you will have to lie on a towel, if you want to use it. Beach chairs are lined up next to the parking lot, off of the...

So sorry to read your review from your last visit. Let me clear up a few misunderstandings. The beach chairs are located very close to the beach by the shuffleboard court. They are not located in a central parking area as you noted. The chairs are allowed on the beach but the City of Sanibel has ordinaces that require that...

This is our first time staying at the Waterside Inn and we are in love with the place. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. It was an easy walk to the beach and at low tide the shells were plentiful. All of the restaurants and shops were close and easily accessible. We were in the Apricot cottage and it...

What a great review! We appreciate all the good words and are glad that we could make your vacation special. The Apricot cottage is also know as our Honeymoon Cottage! Hopefully our attentive staff and lush tropical setting helped you rekindle your special time on Sanibel Island.

Our fourth time to stay at the Waterside Inn and it was good as usual. The staff is very friendly, the rooms are large and clean, and the location can't be beat. It's a quiet stretch of beach with lots of shells and yet close to restaurants and shops. We like an efficiency on the second floor of the Pineapple...

Thank you for taking the time to review Waterside Inn on the Beach. Sounds like you're becoming one of our "long timers" that come every year. We're so happy you were thrilled with Waterside and our staff. Pineapple Lodge is the perfect place to gaze at the wonderful shell studded beach and enjoy the island breezes. We appreciate your business...

As with most beach side lodgings, the cottage was overpriced, even for "off season." That said, the location is stellar being just steps from the water. The cottages are bright if a little dated. (Who needs a rusty medicine cabinet?) the bathroom is teeney. Central air is a plus to lower the humidity. The screened in porch is great for...

Thank you so much for your kind review. Please note that we are constantly on the look out for items that need a little updating. Thanks to your review, we have taken care of the medicine cabinet. We appreciate your input and hopefully will be seeing you again in the near future (It's 80 degrees today and beautiful!).

I actually was impressed by the setting and landscape of Waterside when we first arrived for my son's wedding scheduled for Nov. 5th( on the beach with tent setup for reception. )We had 16 parties staying at the Waterside for wedding. So Waterside did make a profit. Service for clean towels etc., seemed to be acceptable. Thenl things snowballed with...

Beautiful sunrises AND sunsets from the beach only steps away from the cottages. Great location & staff recommended great dinner spots.

I was invited by a friend to spend a few days at her favorite retreat, the Waterside Inn on the beach. The Waterside is nestled in a long row of inns and condo-style units which line the southern shore of the island. Despite the snugness of the properties, there is a feeling of "seclusion" for guests of the Waterside. It...

We live in this area of SW Florida and love to travel to the islands to get away for the weekend. We tried to get a room in August and found we could only book one night. So, we took our chances for Saturday night. Well Waterside came through when all other resorts were full. I booked the Apricot Cottage...

Enjoyable, quiet, and located in a great area of the island. Call first to be sure there are no large parties there and that both pools are in full working order. Minimal maid service, but clean, and efficient. You can have extra service at a cost. Friendly at the desk, but no after hours service. We have stayed many times...
