We stayed at the Sandpiper Ibis cottage#3 on 6/12/24-6/14/24 and we loved it! The cottage had everything we needed - only need to bring yourself, clothes, and food if you wish to cook. The cottage has an updated kitchen, living room bedroom and bathroom. The beds were SO comfortable!!! It's been a long time since I've slept so soundly and comfortably. They could use some fluffier pillows, as theirs were a little flat, but that didn't bother me since I brought my own pillows from home. Unfortunately it rained most of the time that we were there and part of the property in the back and some of the streets were a bit flooded so we were unable to use the bicycles, etc.. We did make it to the beach on our last day for a couple hours when there was a lull in the rain. However we still had a great time playing board games and watching movies indoors during the rain. Very cozy atmosphere. We did have a small pool of water from several days of rain accumulating in front of our door and had to call the office to let them know about that and they quickly sent out maintenance to take care of it and to provide a thick mat for the inside so we wouldn't wet the floor as we were going into the cottage. My husband and I are planning to stay in that exact cottage again in the future.

We loved our stay in this immaculate old-Florida style inn. Staff was immediately available to serve us but did not hover. No amenity has been forgotten. The bright colors and coastal decor make for a real get-away feeling yet every attraction on the island is nearby. Book with confidence!

This property was just remodeled and was very clean and comfortable. Our only concern was that 2 units are connected and you can hear the people next door. They need more insulation between the units. We also lost internet a couple of times so the TV stopped working. We loved how close it was to the beach (2 blocks) and they had bikes available. We would stay there again for a few days.

I stayed at the Sandpiper Inn and was a pleasant stay overall. The check in process was a bit unconventional, but maybe that is from my personal lack of experience with these type of vacation rentals. Daily housekeeping service is not provided, but I was ok with that considering the duration of our stay. The unit was well stocked with basic kitchenware and linen/towels. Overall, the condition of the unit was ok, but there were some areas that could be improved such as the shower and bathroom and other areas where caulking was splitting and the finish was lacking overall, not a deal breaker, but considering the cost to rent, I think the upkeep should be more apparent. Parking was a little tight, but we managed and had no issues. Beach cruisers are provided on-site and they looked to be fairly new and well maintained overall. I would suggest for their to be a bike tire air pump available for use as some bikes were a bit low on air. The inn had a nice beachy vibe and was quite charming. I would consider staying here again on a return visit.

We liked that we had our own space and didn't have anyone walking above us. It was our own cottage. Laundry facilities were a plus as well as the bikes. Beach chairs & an umbrella was also provided. The directions for arrival (was not staffed for check-in) need some updating. It would be a plus to have a map provided as well as some recommendations in each room.

These were the good things about the property. 1. It was a short walk to the beach and the beach was excellent. This was huge because the traffic is a nightmare on the island. 2. The bed linens were fresh and clean,............................Otherwise it was run down, the bare minimum for furnishings etc. A very small bathroom. Little things were updated here and there to try and give the effect that it was cared for. It was not. Deck was grungy. Overall a 50/50 experience. Not terrible but you can probably do alot better.

The nostalgia factor for this retro unit was not sufficient to elicit a very favorable rating. The code for the door lock did not work...fortunately we were given a secondary code to a lockbox with "back-up" keys. It was advertised that the office was open was open 9-5, but it was never open that we experienced in our 2-day stay. Fortunately, we didn't need anything. The furniture was shabby to the point of being uncomfortable and the bed had stale (or worse) smells. The good aspects: it was quiet; it was walking distance to a great shelling beach; the kitchen was well provisioned. Sanibel is a neat place, so I might stay there again.

This was a nice small property. The unit was well appointed if you wanted to cook in which we did one night. It is also equipped with beach chairs / unbrella with close by beach access. If you're looking for a simple place clise to the beach that is reasonably priced - stay here!

The property is being updated as we speak. We stayed in the Palm Retreat and it was just incredibly out dated. We made it work and we loved our week in Sanibel! The free bikes and laundry was a very nice convenience. Before you rent ask if that unit has been updated.

We chose a quiet time of year to visit. There was no one else on the property for most of our visit. Not fancy, but comfortable and clean. Full kitchen with many useful items. Walk to beach is easy about 2 city blocks. Manager offered beach chairs, cooler, umbrella and wagon. Convenient to restaurants and easy to get around. If you have a handicap parking pass remember to bring it with you! We didn’t and besides free parking it also shortens some lengthy walks from parking lot to beaches. If and when we travel back to the area we would most likely stay here again. Thanks for the wonderful time away!

From the time we got there, until we left couldnt ask for anything better. Ron is super nice and so welcoming:) We stayed in unit 4, for 3 nights and already booking our next stay there. He had bikes to use (which we loved), towels, beach toys, chairs, umbrella, you name it he had it to use for free! Road our bikes to the beach multiple times a day, maybe a 1 minute ride.

This is a great place to stay if you enjoy being able to sit out back of the cottages where there are tables with umbrellas and well shaded and quiet. The only thing that wasn't good is the window AC Unit runs constantly and is quite noisey. Also, the sofa bed/couch in our unit desperately needs to be replaced. It was bad enough sitting on it. I wouldn't want to be the people who have to sleep on it. The king size bed was very comfortable. The unit was clean and included beach chairs and umbrella; coffee pot, toaster, blender...all the kitchen essentials. It was a bit too far for us to walk to the beach, but there were a few handicap spots on the street at the beach end of our street which my husband needed. All in all we enjoy this atmosphere over a hotel and we would definitely return.

Amazing service and all around great experience.Beach themed, slightly kitschy cottages with all the extras. So many bike rental places on the island and this place has them for free for guests. They also provide beach towels, an umbrella and two beach chairs that strap on your back like a backpack and have an insulated pocket for ice and drinks as well as a huge pocket for dry items. In other parts of Florida, the beach chairs and umbrella would’ve coated $25-30 a day and then bike rental is close to that. The place is stocked with kitchen essentials such as plates, silverware, coffee maker, blender, toaster, strainer, drink pitcher, stove, fridge and microwave. The outdoor area is adorable. Little grass hut type picnic table, coconut trees, patio furniture. It’s not right on the beach, but if you can handle a 5 minute stroll down a clean sidewalk with beautiful trees, birds hand bunny rabbits, it’s not a problem at all. I’d say it’s about 2-3 city blocks. The beach access is perfect and clean. The location is very quiet, but close enough to restaurants and other amenities that you don’t feel secluded. The king size mattress wasn’t the most fluffy one I’ve slept in, but not bad enough to leave or not come back. Ron, the man on site in the mornings is always happy, welcoming, and available whenever needed. Very accommodating. If you’re okay with feeling like you’re staying in the Golden Girls’ guest house (think wicker furniture and bright colors) then this is the place.

We LOVED the location of this property! While not beach front, it’s just a few minute walk and an even quicker bike ride to the beach. The room came with chairs, an umbrella and beach towels which we found to be most useful for us. The owner was very friendly and helpful—greeted us every morning he saw us and when we thought there was a problem with the tv (our own ignorance) he provided assistance in an appropriate time. We will definitely be staying here again because the prices are unbeatable and the service even better!

This is a great little place within a short walk to the beach. We stayed in the Caloosa room so had plenty of room to spread out. Ron really was as nice, helpful, and accomodating as everyone before me had said. Bikes and beach chairs were provided and he even lent us a cooler to take to the beach.
