I traveled to Waterside Inn with my sister & we were immediately impressed with the beautiful and clean grounds upon pulling in their driveway. We began our visit in the Grapefuit Cottage #108. The cottage was much larger that I had anticipated and was nicely furnished. There were plantation shutters on the windows, the sitting furniture seemed brand new, and... more

Went with my Mom and we stayed a week. A week was much too short a visit, to be sure. From phone reservations in changing our dates due to problems on the job, to increasing the water temp of the pool, to smiles every time we walked into the office, to very pleasant staff who were working outside, this is... more

Very convenient and close to the beach. Staff was friendly and helpful. Disappointed that we weren't able to connect to the internet to conduct business as this was one of the deciding factors for staying here. The hotel is aware of this but continues to advertise internet access is available.The room was clean but the bath wasn't the best, no... more

I think that the best comment I can make is that before I left, I went to the office and booked for next year, our pre-Christmas vacation. We were in a cottage, Lime 103, and were extremely comfortable. The cottage was surprising large and very nicely furnished. Even the fold out sofabed was comfortable. The free internet access provided worked... more

Rooms are nice, recently remodeled, but no ceiling fans. Management staff is nice, but owner Herb completely unresponsive to requested repair of faulty wireless internet connection. If you need to get on line with any kind of up or download requirement besides email, forget it. Don't come here for a working vacation. Grounds well maintained; hotel right on West Sanibel... more

We stayed in the Lime cottage and found it to be very clean, spacious, and comfortable. The decor was bright and cheerful, obviously recently updated. Walk out the front door of the screen porch and you're right on the ocean. Go the other direction and you are out on West Gulf Drive, which is lined with a nice sidewalk. We... more

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
