Seaside Inn

Best thing was the unobstructed view from our second floor Gulf View room. The area is quiet and the sand just steps away. Room was clean, but we were invaded by tiny ants. Downside was the price. At the price we paid, I would expect less shabby and worn furnishings and fixtures, and definitely a newer and firmer mattress. Oh, and don’t expect to watch the sunset from the beach chairs provided, as they are removed just prior. In general, a good experience in a great location.

We stayed at the Seaside Inn for our Honeymoon, June 29-​July 3, 2015. It was a wonderful place to stay. The price for our second floor, pool side guestroom, was excellent. We could see the Gulf from our balcony. The Inn was quiet and relaxing. The grounds, and pool were kept very clean. Everyday, we were supplied with a breakfast basket that contained different breakfast items such as; Apple juice, milk, bagels, cream cheese, muffins, and more. This was very much appreciated! The staff switched up the basket daily so that you didn’t always get the same things. The walk to the beach was literally 45 – 60 seconds from our guestroom. There were chairs and umbrellas, provided by the Seaside Inn staff, daily on the beach… and they put them out super early too.
Only one little thing I would recommend: a wash to the curtains to the balcony. It looked like someone opened the curtains with sauce on their finger… but I can see where it could be easily missed by the housekeepers. Other than that, our room was spotless, and beds were cozy… we tried out both. ;)
I will be going back again.
Sanibel Island has a little bit for everyone, and the Seaside was a perfect place to stay.

Place was so quaint Steve an Jim so nice. Loved the bikes an paddle boards Steps to beach. Everyone so friendly would go back. From Southern California.

Wow, I can not even put into words how impressed my husband and I were at our recent stay here. From the moment we registered, to when we checked out, we experienced the best customer service of our lives. Tresann is FANTASTIC. She went above and beyond in EVERY aspect to make our one year wedding anniversary absolutely amazing. The Inn is RIGHT by the Gulf, (23 steps to be exact, yes, I counted) clean, beds are comfortable, and the view is unbeatable. They offer bikes to use at no charge, which turned out to be our favorite part of our visit. Right by several places to eat and shop and of course, the beach. This will be the only place we stay when we return to Sanibel. Every employee we encountered greeted us with a smile and seemed to be genuinely interested in making sure we were having a great time and had all we needed. WOW! Thank you all so much for making our anniversary the best ever, we will be back!

This hotel has a great location right on the beach. Free bikes available to ride around on the island. Rooms nice. Although we had some issues: AC dripping the whole time creating puddles and drip noises all night. Ants in the kitchen. They do give you a breakfast basket which is nice. Good location and lovely views.

A small quiet resort on the Gulf. You can see the water from most rooms, that surround the warm but refreshing pool. The rooms are comfortable and clean with a bit of a beach theme. The outside is neat and tidy too. People are friendly and all are enjoying their stay. There are umbrellas and lounge chairs to use on the beach. There are bikes for your use. You get a simple continental breakfast in the morning. It was a joy to sit on the porch and have our breakfast and a view of the water. We had room 109 and were pleased, especially the price was the best compared to similar resorts.

Wow, what an awesome place!
This was my first time on Sanibel island. The hotel is placed in a great location, away from noise. Steps to the beach through a deck, pool area. Bicycles were available to move around the island. At full capacity but nice and quiet. Ac was great. Rooms nicely sized with a mw oven, fridge, sink.
Everything around was clean, in working order and taken care of. I didn’t get a chance to meet all staff but whoever I met was courteous and helpful.
One thing I found unorthodox was that they charged my ccard at the time of booking, 2 months in advance. At check out I paid with real money and upon request they refunded my card no questions asked.
My experience there was definitely 5 stars.
