Top Sanibel Island Southern Beach Hotel Reviews

Sundial Beach Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our vacation! Room was immaculate however we did not realize we would be on the 2nd floor. Thankfully it wasn't any higher. A family oriented establishment with activities going on throughout the day. Staff was extremely helpful and our food service was fantastic."

Shalimar Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Great view of beach from screened balcony. Almost a private pool while we were there for 5 nights. Room was perfect! Staff was very nice."

Ultimate Sanibel Beachfront! Island Beach Club, Top Floor, West-Facing, End Unit

10/10 Excellent

"Our 6th trip to Sanibel!While we’ve stayed at this group of condos before and liked the location quite well, this was our first stay at THIS Aunit.The penthouse full-view of the Gulf was extraordinary!! Exactly as described! And very nice that, as the condo is at the farthest end of the building, there are no neighbors visible!Everything about the condo was top of the line! From the way the kitchen was equipped to the high thread-count silky sea-green sheets…and everything in between!A lit-from-within tower for beautiful glasses and a similarly lit wine cabinet were two of my favorite things! Communication w the owners was outstanding! Couldn’t have wished for better. And keyless entry w passcode! No searching for the key! And a telescope! Tripod-mounted for simplicity. Fabulous views!Will definitely return to Sanibel for a 7th trip & hope to find this highly sought-after condo available! Jim & wife Terry from Michigan"

AMAZING GULF FRONT, 3 Bedrooms, Sleeps 8, Pets Welcome, Pool & bikes included!

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at Golden Beach was absolutely wonderful. The view is just gorgeous and the house is beautiful as well. A well-appointed kitchen and plenty of cozy seating was great for our group of six. The cabana was so convenient too. Jim was so gracious to check in with us at booking and after we arrived to make sure that we had everything we needed, including restaurant recommendations. From bikes, to fishing gear, chairs, shelling nets, and even a wagon to get everything to the beach, he’s truly thought of everything."
