Festooned with gorgeous palm trees and an ever present ocean breeze, The Sandpiper Inn has been coveted by travelers as the most colorful inn on Sanibel. Close to beaches, dining and shopping, this property boasts one of the best locations on all of Sanibel Island. NEW: dog enclosure for our 4-legged guests to play while you enjoy our outdoor seating areas with grill and fire pit! The Space: This unit is approximately 550 square feet and located within a Key West Styled motel known as the Sandpiper Inn. Characterized by bright hues of pink, blue, and orange, the building and property are extremely peaceful and serene, perfect for escaping the hustle bustle of city or suburban life. Inside of the unit is a full kitchen, allowing guests to dine in and skip the expense and crowds at local restaurants if desired. Living areas includes a brand new renovated kitchen, TV area with a premium sleeper sofa, and a full dining table. This unit also features a full bedroom, separate and detached from the living area with two double beds. Also included is a full bathroom with walk in shower. This unit is known as a frequent guest favorite, because it is located on the second floor of the Sandpiper Inn, providing guests with an awe inspiring sea breeze on demand and an oversized balcony equipped with chimes, fans, chairs, and tables for enjoying evening drinks. It is also unique among island inns in that it is surrounded by only residential homes in an extremely quiet area of Sanibel, away from the hustle and bustle of more crowded touristic centers of the island. Furthermore, built in the 1950s but receiving a full structural and interior reconstruction in late 2023, guests can enjoy the vibrant history of these pre-causeway inns while not sacrificing at all in the comfort or amenities departments. We are pet friendly for up to two dogs up to 50lbs each. If you will be traveling with pets, please notify us after confirming your booking so that we can update your reservation accordingly. Per pet fee of $75 will apply. City of Sanibel Dwelling License Number RDWL-003381 Guest Access: Guests have beach access less than 5 minutes from their front door. Additionally, each unit includes access to outdoor seating area with grill and firepit, dog enclosure for our 4-legged guests and complimentary laundry room. Beach gear, towels, and bicycles are also available to guests at no additional cost. The Neighborhood: This suite is located within the historic Sandpiper Inn, on Donax Street. Known for its proximity to the beach and all dining/shopping that Sanibel has to offer, Donax Street is one of the most highly coveted areas on all the island. Bikers consider the area to be by far the best and most accessible on Sanibel, due to its equidistance to both Periwinkle Way (where all shopping and dining is) and East Gulf Drive (where all of the gulf beaches are located). For those that do not want to bike or drive far, guests can easily walk to the Sandollar or Blue Giraffe restaurants, both located just a few minutes walk from the front door of this suite. For those willing to venture out a bit further, Tipsy Turtle, El Cielo, Matzaluna are located just a mile down the road at the intersection of Donax Street and Periwinkle Way. Getting Around: You are close enough to get around by walking or on bikes, but a rental car is suggested if you would like to explore Captiva or neighboring areas Other Things to Note: Guests must complete rental agreement prior to the stay A non-refundable cancellation fee of $100 will apply for reservations cancelled prior to the cancellation policy window. This fee covers our credit card processing fees on a refunded deposit payment. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the apartment: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - Books - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Office ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Designated smoking areas ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near the sea ### Things to do - Bicycles ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Bicycles - Garden - Unit size: 600 square feet ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/72000000/71620000/71618100/71618048/724a5a84.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Hideaway Cottage at Palmview Inn of Sanibel Mid Island - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 8.4 Very good 10 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-05&endDate=2025-11-06&selected=71618048&PinnedHotelID=71618048&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach/ocean view](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/119000000/118510000/118502900/118502892/8b6bb81d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sanibel Siesta on the Beach Mid Island - Pool - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Parking included 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-05&endDate=2025-11-06&selected=118502892&PinnedHotelID=118502892&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby, sun loungers, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/20000000/19260000/19252900/19252855/368ced6a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Romantic Getaway, #302, 2 min walk to the beach.

Feb 9, 2022 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Disappointing stay This was a disappointing experience. Two of the three lights in the bathroom were out along with the porch light. Very steep dark stairs at night with no lighting at all. Mold in the windowsills and some of the windows didn’t even close all the way. When we were preparing dinner we found out that the stove wouldn’t even light! I feel for the price that we paid we should have received much better accommodations. The property is rundown and old cabinets not matching etc. Old & uncomfortable furniture. So sorry I booked this for my birthday vacation. ##### Linda B. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Jeffrey M.
