We enjoyed our first time stay at Sanibel Island last week. The location was amazing, the room itself was nice as it was very recently redone. Minor issues: there was a cold front that hit and we weren't able to use our heater until the maintenance guy came and set it up for us so had a veeeeery frigid first night sleeping there until this was resolved the next day. Also was told the heated pool would be ready after Christmas 2025 and this was not the case. Was closed our entire 6 night stay. Very sad. Especially since water isn't warm enough at the beach to swim so never got to wear my swimsuit 😔 Paper thin walls and could hear our neighbors tv and conversations way too easily. Other than that, lovely and felt the price was fair for what we got. Would stay again, hoping for better communication from the Inn on what to expect next time.
