The hotel is on a quiet spot near Sanibel’s eastern tip. Nice, very clean room with several outdoor seating areas as well as an outdoor gas grill. Each room has free beach cart, towels, chairs and umbrella. Five minute walk to a quiet beach with good shelling. Plenty of free bikes. Joe and son are very helpful with anything you need. Like many hotels today, no daily maid service, but really not necessary. Overall a great stay.

The Tarpon Tale Inn is a unique and charming place to stay while on Sanibel Island. It has been beautifully and lovingly restored after Hurricane Ian, and is so cute, comfortable and clean! Every meticulous detail has been attended to by the owner, Joe, who is so friendly and exceptionally accommodating! The grounds and outdoor ambiance of the inn’s setting are welcoming and lovely. Nestled among palm trees and gorgeous tropical plantings, one can spend a pleasant afternoon outside simply relaxing on the double swing, the hammock, or on your own private patio! Bicycles for exploring the island via its incredible bike trails, along with all the beach equipment you could possibly need are included in your stay. The short walk to Sanibel’s gorgeous beaches makes The Tarpon Tale Inn’s location just perfect for your island paradise getaway. This darling property on amazing Sanibel Island is not to be missed!

It’s very hard to understand why it’s that expensive. Everything is good but way out of a normal price for an inn

This property is a very quaint in that it provides a private patio area for each room along with quite a bit of shared space. I never heard the people in the other rooms, so it was very quiet and just a 5 minute walk to the beach.

Tarpon Tale Inn is wonderful! I can’t say enough good things about it! It’s so quaint, beautiful, clean, comfortable and I could go on and on! The owner is onsite throughout the day and was very helpful. He toured us around and showed us everything when we checked in and was readily available when we had questions! This is where I will stay from now on when I am in Sanibel!!
