    “Great Sanibel base location.”

    This hotel provides a nice base location for Sanibel activities. The continental breakfast provided in the room each day was just perfect to get us ready for our days out exploring the island. Nice laundry facilities. The Inn is on the lighthouse end of the island, but nothing is very far away on Sanibel, and we appreciated the location away from the middle of the traffic.

    “Time at Seaside Sanibel!”

    From the time we arrived, we were most welcomed and each time we returned to the front desk, each of the hotel workers were so nice to us and helpful. The room was lovely and the area is just what we wanted.

    “Excellent !”

    Hôtel bien situé (en face de la plage et équipé d'une piscine chauffée), avec une chambre permettant de faire (un peu) la cuisine. Cher, mais à relativiser par rapport aux prix en cours sur Sanibel... Le petit déj' est relativement bien fourni, mais pour des français on a préféré compléter avec du pain grillé et du beurre (un toaster est disponible dans la chambre). Enfin, prêt de vélo gratuit pour découvrir l'île...

    “Everything we'd wanted and more”

    The Seaside Inn was just as I read: relaxed, comfortable, convenient, and so very beautiful. I loved our room looking out to the ocean with the little balcony area. Not a problem to share with our friendly neighbors. The small kitchenettes were perfect for eating in. The bathrooms were very nice and deck. Desk people were friendly and willing to assist with questions at any time. I loved the location of the hotel on the island. I especially appreciated the chairs and umbrellas brought to the beach daily. Carpeting in room had several stains but didn't deter us from enjoying the stay.

    “Loved It !”

    Being able to stay on the beach in this Wonderful Inn even made it better. The staff was very nice, and the room was excellent. The Breakfast basket came the afternoon before, so you could get up in the morning any time you liked, and your food was there. Loved it, will stay again!

    “Best Vacation I've ever had!!”

    I can't say enough good things about my stay at the Seaside. We went with our two kids, who are 1 and 5 years old. The hotel staff was amazing, the location was CRAZY awesome, the room was clean (and they have great amenities there!). I'm sure there are people who would pick at little things, there might be dirt in the corner of the bathroom, or something ridiculous. But, it didn't matter. We walked out of our room and we were literally on the beach of the Gulf of Mexico. We rode bikes around the island for free. We got this basket of food every day with fruit cups, bagels (no they weren't fresh, but, but it didn't matter, it filled our bellies so we could get back to the fun) juice, coffee... The staff was amazing. One guy that delivered pizza to our room said that the Seaside was his favorite hotel on the island. The only thing I would do next year is get the cottage room. For a family staying a week, it would be well worth it for a little extra room. There is a great restaurant down the road you can ride a bike to for breakfast, and then have ice cream right after :) Love, love, love the Seaside Inn. I'll go back year after year with my family. I'm hooked!
