Mitchell’s Sandcastles by the Sea, Sanibel Island, Florida It was a good thing that this was our fourth year staying at Mitchell’s, as there was no welcoming when we arrived. In previous years, Joan left a welcome note with a map of the property on the door of the office for late check-ins. We have stayed in Sea Shell the... more

We loved Mitchell's because it's homey and comfortable. We always feel like we are getting back to our own FL cottage, instead of like we are staying in a commercial place. You can keep the chain hotels and motels. There's nothing like it and we love the fact that our little dog is welcome, too. Great shelling beach! more

FYI - Starting today, the new owner, Joel, is taking over. He seems nice and wants to make improvements to the place. He says that he and his wife will be working in the office when anyone calls. I have been going to Mitchell's since the early 90's. I have seen management and owners come and go. I have never... more

We are an active Sr. couple from north central Florida and were looking for a laid back place to stay and enjoy the beach. It was our first time there and we... more

I have been staying at Mitchell's Sand Castles for over 35 years and I was apprehensive after reading the recent reviews and talking to my brother who was also asked not to return when he stayed at 4015 about a month before. When we arrived we found that a new management company had just taken over. They were very friendly... more

I have stayed at Mitchells for many many years, at the Sea Shell Cottage. I know it's not a luxury resort but it was clean and I had no problems with the management. I just love Sanibel and the cottages are on a beautiful part of the beach. But since it was bought by the present owner it has become... more

I have loved my trips to Sanibel for many years. All of which spent at Mitchells. Many recomendations to friends. The past 5 years I have watched a steady increase in rates and a steady decline in the already very "Campy" cottages. I never really minded the run down nature of the old style Florida cottages because Itwas a short... more

The units are in desperate need of repair. The toilet fell through the bathroom floor in one of our units! They are unsafe and unsanitary. We live in Florida and have a lot of choices, this will not be one we make again. more
