Fantastic fishing for Snook, Redfish, Trout and Tarpon is just outside your door. The white sand beaches of Sanibel, Cayo Costa and Captiva are just a short boat ride away. While exploring be sure to stop in at Cabbage Key for your "Cheeseburger in Paradise" made famous by Jimmy Buffet. We offer bicycles to visit "downtown" and all it has to offer; or just walk as all is nearby. Angler's Inn's affordable nightly, weekly and monthly rates will let you rest easily as you dream about the "Big Catch" from the boat just outside your back door screened-in patio. See you soon in our little slice of paradise!

Wonderful and relaxing

We stayed here because it is a pet friendly place. So happy that we did. This is the perfect people place, too. The screened in patio and lovely dock area was more than we hoped for. The shops and restaurants were a fun way to pass the time. Everything was amazing. Well done!

The place was off the main road and boat channel to be very quiet. The motel was completely destroyed by Hurricane Ian in Sept 2022 so has been restored since then and the owners have done a good job with lots of hard work. I was very comfortable and loved being able to control my own room temp with the mini split in my room. Parking available in front of door and boat mooring available for those who have boats. Otherwise chairs in screened outdoor space or dockside lounger available to sit and relax. Community park across the canal which gives privacy and trees for birds to perch and pelicans, ospreys and herons to hunt for fish. Janette was very helpful and responsive. I would be happy to book another stay there in the future.

Cute. Clean. Great location.

This unit was very clean and cute. The shower was excellent. There was a coffee pot and they provided coffee. (We brought our own) The second bed is really a pull out couch and a little uncomfortable for an adult. The location is awesome. And the best part is they let me bring my dog.

Does not sleep 4

Property claims to sleep 4. We booked for 2 adults and 2 kids, the pullout couch is a single. Definitely not space for 4 to sleep and we were charged in the booking for extra people
