Great little efficiency apartments, very clean. Lovely front porch area (had cocktails with the neighbors) and backyard area with hammock. Loved the outdoor sink for rinsing shells and suits. PERFECT location for a short bike ride to the beach or town, bikes provided by the Inn! I will definitely go back again, great place for a family reunion or group... More

I can only echo other positive reviews. Clean and comfortable. The kitchen had all we needed for simple cooking. Free cruiser bikes were a great amenity. Free use of washer/dryer came in handy. Short walk to the south side beach (shelling at low tide).

Bedroom is rather small, as is bathroom, but are fine. Nice place to sit out back. Manager Laurie very helpful.... More

The Sandpiper Inn offers a great value on Sanibel Island. We stayed for a long weekend in March and had a wonderful experience. The owner/manager was very helpful upon check-in by familiarizing us with the island and nearby amenities. They provide all the essentials for a great beach weekend: a hammock, grill and outdoor seating, bikes, beach chairs and umbrellas.... More
