This was the perfect location for our family to call home for a week, was right next door to a family-run convenience store, across the street from ice cream, dining & shopping, and on the main thoroughfare to get to everything else on the island via car. I didn't take pics of it because honestly, that's why you go to Sanibel, to do nothing other than go to the beach, collect cool sea shells, and shop. The kitchen had everything you could need and a full-size fridge was handy for the grocery store items on the non-restaurant nights. It was a truly memorable, enjoyable and comfortable home for a week and we hope to be able to go again next year! ##### Wendy Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Ariana Jun 3, 2025 Liked: Amenities There were spiders in the room ##### Ariana Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sonya May 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wonderful experience. Very quiet and area felt safe. When we arrived we got a quick, helpful tour from Maureen around the complex. They provided beach equipment an umbrella, beach wagon, towels, chairs. The beach was a quick 5 min walk away. They have a grill and different seating areas around the property to enjoy. There is a restaurant and coffee shop across the street and a deli next door. The property has free bikes you can use during your stay. We stayed in the Birdhouse room. Which was perfect for our stay. It was a nice, quiet, clean place. We would happily stay again! ##### Sonya Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maria Sep 5, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort Our stay was great at the Tarpon Tale- a cute little place and just up from the beach and across from shopping! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2A552A3B84FF259A3357BA139CCF648B558264EA1693949344882.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/D5B5EEF104D281F19DBF9E7232DB8056C943462A1693949344888.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Maria Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erin Aug 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Will go back!

It was a short walk or bike ride to the beach. The room had everything we needed and beach chairs, beach cart and bicycles were provided. It was right across from a coffee and ice cream shop and a nice restaurant and a gift shop. I will definitely be back to visit. ##### Kimberly Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### andrea May 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Will return !

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! ##### Allison Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kyle Jul 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Joe and Connor were very nice and made sure we had a great stay.

Tarpon Tale Inn is conveniently located on east end of Sanibel Island. The Inn is right across the street from a really good restaurant (loved the coffee) and Magic Bus Ice Cream shop. The bed was very comfortable. Just need to be cautious of the step up into the bathroom! The hosts were very flexible! Proximity to beach - excellent (2 blocks) Property provides bikes, beach towels, beach chairs and umbrella!! ##### Lisa Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marco Jul 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Beautiful!
