Top Sanibel Island Lighthouse Hotel Reviews

Seahorse Cottages on Sanibel - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean, quiet and a great pool to relax in. Fully functioning kitchen. If you are a sheller, like my wife, the beach is right down the street, the bay in one direction and the gulf opposite. I believe it was our third visit over the years. We will likely be back. The manager is available on a regular basis and all amenities are available to guests as needed. I highly recommend this property."

Marriott Sanibel Harbour Resort & Spa

2/10 Terrible

"Awful smell around the property, room was far away from main building, not secure or safe feeling, anyone could come use pool or enter to the elevator. Room has some bugs, ants all over balcony and kept getting in. Charged a ton of extra fees daily parking even though we had to park own cars and were way away from main buildings. "

Wake up to sweeping Gulf views from every room in this upscale 3BR/3BA townhome in Sanibel’s exclusive Cyprina Complex. Enjoy effortless island living with a whole-home carbon-filter water filtration system!

10/10 Excellent

"Everything about this stay was beachfront perfection! The unit was so thoughtfully appointed with everything we could have possibly needed, the condo was beautifully decorated, and the renovation to include the full bedroom and bathroom on the main floor made it so much nicer for the person staying downstairs. Caihlin was the consummate host, providing so many thoughtful touches to anticipate all of our needs, responding promptly to questions, and even providing a blender same day when we couldn’t find one in the kitchen. We’ve stayed in many units in Cyprina Beach over the last couple of decades, but this was by far the loveliest and we’ve already rebooked for next year. HIGHLY recommend! "

Tarpon Tale Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Far exceeded our expectations and hopes. We were welcomed by the owner who gave us a tour, oriented us to the Inn and community, showed us the amenities, which included bikes for getting around with lots of biking lanes on the Island. Also the amenities included everything for the beach-beach cart, chairs, umbrellas, towels, shell hunting equipment and bucket with a sink for cleaning the treasures, outdoor heated showers, table and chairs on the partially enclosed porch outside your door for eating, hammock and bench swing every few cottages for relaxing. Quiet, within two blocks of both bay and the gulf with white sand beaches… beautiful. Set within trees with designated parking place for each room. Our room which was one of the smaller ones, was great for my wife and I, with a fridge, microwave and dishes. Restaurants right across the street and next door, with a couple of stores within walking or riding distance, even some grocery stores a short ride down the street. We will be back!"

The Rosella-Great value on Sanibel! Walk to dining, shops and The Lighthouse-on Historic East End!

10/10 Excellent

"There were bikes available at no extra charge. We biked to breakfast, dinner, and the beach at the lighthouse. Amazing! Everything is so close (except the grocery store)."
