Independent in Sanibel Captiva Island

"Awesome"

"Had a great time for our 40th Anniversary stay there - room was nice and clean -of course mostly all is being rebuilt. Would definitely come again - only thing we had to go to Costco and get an umbrella ☂️ the lounge chairs were great just needed some protection from the sun ☀️ ( they did have some for sale at the hotel) all in all beautiful beach and outside area with hammocks -the no see ums were really bad so bring protection!! "

"Our family had a wonderful time, will definitely return!"

"We stayed in a room with an absolutely breathtaking view, the perfect way to start and end each day with the sound of the ocean. The front desk service at check-in and check-out was fantastic – friendly, welcoming, and efficient. The beach is spectacular – peaceful, clean, and ideal for relaxing or shelling. Everything at the hotel is well cared for and thoughtfully maintained. It was a wonderful experience and we will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended for anyone looking for peace, nature, and exceptional hospitality! "

"We stayed at the Palmview Creole Garden 7/18-7/21. I highly recommend the cottages and property. We had a wonderful time! The beach chairs and umbrella were in great condition, high quality and very convenient. The bikes were as well and we had great times riding them around the island. We had a couple of small issues but they were quickly resolved by the attentive staff. The cottage was perfect in size for the 3 of us and the kitchen and amenities in it were enough to cook things. The seating area is very inviting near the BBQ. My small suggestion would be to put tiki torches or some kind of bug repellant there. Bring bug spray!! Doc Fords and Mudbugs were excellent places to eat. Huxster's Store has delicious sandwiches. Overall, a wonderful weekend vacation. I will be staying at the Palmview anytime I return to Sanibel. "

"Tarpon Tale Inn is a hidden treasure! If you want a quiet getaway on Sanibel Island with quick access to the beach, a private patio and grill, access to bicycles, an outdoor hot/cold shower, a shell washing station, and beach chairs/umbrella/wagon - this is it! The owner, Joe, has an eye for detail and it shows throughout your stay. I wanted a beach experience and that’s exactly what I got at Tarpon Tale Inn. Other than to explore (Blind Pass, Bowman Beach, Turner Beach and Captiva) the island and pick up a few things at Jerry’s, I had no need to drive. Wickie’s and Tuttle’s are directly across the street, and a deli place is next door - the Sanibel lighthouse is a .6 mile bike ride and beach access is just around the corner is across the street. The king room with full kitchen was nicely equipped and the bed was incredibly comfy. So clean! The “no-seeums” were present and accounted for, mostly at dusk and dawn, not a Tarpon Tale Inn issue because they were everywhere on the island. Guests are offered use of bug spray in the office as a shared option. The Tarpon Tale has a quaint beach vibe I know you will love! "

"The pool/beach area was amazing! The poolside service was awesome. My only concern was me a senior and friend staying with me a senior were assigned a 4 th floor room with no elevator. It took almost an hour to find a space that had an elevator. Jared the security guy was so helpful. Then for check out the system evidently had an issue and tried to charge me for what I had paid for on Expedia. Loved the resort not the service or convenience "

"Loved Captiva and overall property. Clean. Well kept. The unit overlooks mangroves. Short drive to beach villas where you can park for beach. Beach was amazing. Seashells everywhere, almost no waves, not crowded and peaceful. "

"Love how close it was to the water. "
