We took a chance on our first trip to Sanibel Island by staying here based on reviews from this web site. And I have to say we couldn't have been happier. The property is tucked away down a sandy lane, the main walkway to the beach is lined with beautiful palm trees, the pool is surrounded by lush vegetation, the... more

My husband I decided to Honeymoon in Sanibel and decided on Waterside Inn after viewing the quaint pics online. We arrived and stayed in the honeymoon (Apricot) cottage, we were pleasantly surprised and loved the 4 nights we stayed there. We came during the off season and practically had the place and the beach to ourselves. The room was very... more

We recently stayed at the Waterside Inn, specifically at the Brakers West apartments. We like the comfort of a bigger place and these apartments provide all the amenities we like. It's like home away from home! They are extremely clean and all of the apartments that we have stayed at have nice and modern decor. The staff is always so... more

We chose Waterside Inn because it allowed dogs. We slightly knew we were not going to be getting a great place by the photos and the fact that they are cottages. The distance to the beach (.2 seconds!) is wonderful...but the rooms are gross. They are old cottages that need some major updates. It rained one day while we were... more

Just returned from another great stay at Waterside Inn! After the Labor Day holiday, it was totally seclusion on the beach, this is considered the slow time on the island! We loved it though! We have stayed here for the past ten years. We love the location and the great prices they offer. This last trip they had made updates... more

Just got back from our 4th visit to the Waterside Inn. I cannot imagine staying anywhere else on Sanibel. The location is perfect; on a section of beach that doesn’t get much traffic, facing the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The property is clean, and well landscaped. Although it is a relatively small resort, without all of the bells... more

Been staying here for five days. The TV was broken and I had to ask twice before they swapped it out. The Wi-Fi network connection signal is weak and goes down constantly. After one particularly long outage, I asked the front desk if they could reset it and they pretty much brushed me off and showed no interest in trying... more

What a neat little place we found here! Nestled in the palms. Nothing fancy but clean and very relaxing. There are several cute cottages lined up along a sandy lane. Just pull your car right up to them and walk to the beach. We stayed in the Blueberry Cottage. It had a queen bed in a bedroom, a double pull... more

With a fantastic off-season Florida resident rate of $99 per night for two queen beds and a kitchen, first floor, Pineapple building (2 story motel style with balcony and gulf-beach view), we trusted you other reviewers and were very pleased. Clean, well placed, with beautiful plantings, adorable pastel cottages, ccommodating workers, and lot of charm, we had a great three... more
