positive:
Ideal location on quieter side of island.
The inn is located at the quieter east end of Sanibel Island, a location that guests have been quick to praise. In addition to being away from the main hustle and bustle, the inn is a five-minute walk from the beach and just ten minutes from the lighthouse. Meanwhile, the Lighthouse Café and Pinocchio's ice cream parlour - popular with tourists and locals alike - are situated just across the street.
positive:
Complimentary extras enhance stay.
Guests staying at the inn
can take advantage of a number of complimentary extras, including beach towels,
chairs, and umbrellas. Perhaps the most popular freebie though comes in the form
of free bike hire. Guests love to get away from the slow-moving traffic and
cycle across the island.
