This was an 8 day family vacation to Sanibel for shelling. We had two rooms at this hotel. The location is great, literally steps from the beach, but that's the standard with all the hotels and condos along that entire beach, several miles long. The patio areas are completely screened in, which you may or may not like, but it... More

My wife and I stayed over Memorial Day and were pleasantly surprised by this hotel. Having never been to Sanibel before I did some research on the Web and after reading a few reviews about other places, large and small, I decided on Sunset Beach. I'm really glad I did because it was perfect for us. We had a wonderful,... More

Our party had 3 rooms over Mother's Day 2013. The check in was easy and the staff very friendly. Room had a few small maintenance issues but I would stay there again. Screens on the balconies need to be removed or replaced. Lots of tears in them which won't keep bugs out anyway. I think the balcony would be much... More

Looked into this little hotel as a quick weekend getaway instead of staying down Gulf Drive at one of the big resorts. What a smart move! Friendly Staff! You will enter your room from an outside corridor and parking lot. Your room views overlook the pool looking to the East. We had room 116, a 2 bedroom 2 bath with... More

We enjoyed our three night stay. The only issue we encountered was hot water. Not much of it! We loved the porch that faced the water. It wasn't fancy but it was comfortable. The staff was nice and the location perfect.

Great place for a quiet, easy going vacation. You can't get any closer to the beach! Everyone was friendly and helpful...everything we wanted without paying $$$ for things we did not need or want.
