A wonderfully relaxed and peaceful place to stay for a few days Convenient for the beach (make sure you have insect repellent) but very little in terms of restaurants within walking distance more

We stayed 2 nights in the Seashell room, which had a full kitchen. Reservations were made online. The room was clean and spacious with a king size bed, a dining room table, and a sofa. Tarpon Tale only has 8 rooms. Amenities include a hot tub, bicycles, and wireless internet in the office and in rooms close to the office (like ours). Across the street are a cafe, a deli, an ice cream shop, and... more

My husband and I stayed at the Tarpon Tale Inn to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary. We had a wonderful stay and Shauna was very nice! We can't wait to come stay on beautiful Sanibel Island again!!!;) more

This was our first trip to Sanibel and we couldn't have asked for anything better!! I read all the reviews before booking a room at the Tarpon Tale Inn and I was not disappointed at all. We stayed in the "Birdhouse", which is small, but not too small for a husband and wife to enjoy it. We loved absolutely everything about the Tarpon Tale from our room, the setting, the quietness, the lack of hassle,... more

We come here without reservation and walked in the office. No one there but there was a phone with the number from the owner. Called them, inspected the room and took it! That was new for us, very very uncomplicated !! Room itself (Sanibel Sea Shell 2) was very nice decorated and big enouth for us! The best is there is a Gas-Grill for everyone. We loved it!! Next time in Sanibel, next time in... more

The Inn was so much more than we expected ! We arrived, and found our reservations on the bullentin board. The studio was adorable, when we walked in it felt like we were at a family beach cottage. Everything we needed was there. The walk to the beach was our evening stroll, and the shelling was the best we found. We visited in the "off season" and it was if we had the beaches and... more

We went to Tarpon Tale for my wifes birthday. We did some research about places to stay on Sanibel and the great reviews could not have been more accurate. The rooms were not new but well kept and the location was great. We had a short walk to the beach which we both enjoyed very much and we were located just minutes from all of the many things to do on Sanibel. The weather was... more

My husband and I spent 2 nights in the Historic Lighthouse 2 room. The room like the inn was charming. The bed was comfy, the shower pressure is great, the room clean and full of thoughtful little extras such as a bag of microwave popcorn, sunscreens, beach towels and a real hair dryer. Not one of those typical little hotel room numbers that don't do a thing. The location was great ... a short walk... more

My daughter and I stayed 3 nights. We enjoyed riding the bikes to the pier and on the beach. It was great to have the laundry facility available. The computer room was very quiet. Although, the computer was very slow. That was ok, we weren't in a hurry. Dawn came by to see how we were doing. She was very gracious. I will most definitely return to this Inn. One of the best places that... more
