I love this beach resort and would definitely come back, however, I really think some investment should be made in a wireless router so the customers don't have to sit outside the office to get a signal. In this day and age, customers expect free wireless for the value and like to enjoy access to the Internet world in the... More

We spent a lovely few days at the immaculate Wicker Inn in late November. It seemed like spending time at a cottage on the beach surrounded by well kept natural landscaping. Our unit was modest, extremely well kept with a comfortable bed and good linens and we observed that the units are constantly being upgraded. The beach is footsteps away... More

As in a previous stay, Ed and his staff do an amazing job keeping this quaint beachfront retreat just right, thanks Ed! We enjoyed the beach, gulf of mexico and the resort pool. Our 15 year old daughter collected enough shells to update her collection and she even Watched a just hatched sea turtle travel to the water. If you... More

We live only a few miles from the Wicker Inn but our weekend there felt like we were worlds away. The cottages are charming and well equipped. Ed at the front desk took very good care of us. We had stopped in by chance on our way home from a disastrous night in Bradenton Beach (terrible accommodation) and within minutes... More

Last week we stayed just for one night since we were visiting family for the rest of our trip. Ed, the manager, was more than accomidating. He let us check in early, check out late, and offered us a great deal for the next night which unfortuately we were not able to take advantage of because of prior obligations. The... More

Our family has been staying at the Wicker Inn for 6 years and running. We were there in June also and we had NO problem with snakes. Perhaps the other reviewer is confusing lizards for snakes?? Wicker Inn is a beautiful resort and the last of it's kind. The stunning views and relaxing atmosphere bring us back every year. Each... More

Great location and family friendly, unfortunalety the snakes are out of control. All over the patios, walkways, furniture etc... for someone with a snake phobia its terrifying. We have stayed on LBK before and NEVER experienced this. My sister in law who lives in nearby Sarasota said this is unusual even for florida, they show no fear of humans or... More

We just got back from 3 nights at the Wicker Inn and we had a great time. The beaches have nice white sand and the gulf water was turquoise, clear, calm and warmer than the east coast beaches. The rooms were tastefully decorated and well equipped. We had the 2 bedroom, 2 bath Magnolia Suite and our teenage girls were... More

This was our 2nd stay at Wicker Inn and the expectation/anticipation was realised. It's a great little place in a wonderful location. Staff are attentive and there are excellent restaurants for breakfast, lunch and dinner within an easy walk. The magnificent beach starts less than 10 yards from the hotel boundary and sometimes we were disappointed to find other people... More
