The Palmview and Sandpiper Inns

It was very comfortable and welcoming. Great location for our stay. Cottage was spacious and very clean. Would recommend

Needs better pillows

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.

Cute property with a cool Florida vibe. Easy, short walk to the beach. Loved the keyless entry.

Cute comfortable accommodation. Loved it’s location close to gorgeous beach. Great to have use of bikes and washing machine and dryer a bonus. Wish we could of stayed longer.

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.

Very nice and convenient access to amenities on Sanibel. A great value for lodging on the island and I plan to use it again. My only complaint is that the parking area is too small.

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!
