Rented one of the 3 a-frame cottages for 2 nights; Nov. 10&11. There were 6 of us- 3 adults and 3 kids (8,6, and3yrs) and a dog. Bedding is 2 queens and a queen sleeping sofa. Kids liked the fact the upstairs tv had a dvd player for bedtime movies. Kitchen space was adequate. My only complaint would be no... More

My boyfriend and I stayed here for two nights in June, and it was great! While it may not be beach front, the inn is located directly on the main road and close to restaurants, shops and the beach. The room was clean and spacious. The bathroom was a bit tiny and could use some updating, but it got the... More

We stayed here in May and had a really nice time. Some of the tenants were a little noisy by the pool and the curtains could be a little better to block out the light. Otherwise it was a good price for the location. Road bikes to the beach not too far away. It wasn't fancy but it was a... More

My wife and I, we are "seasoned citizens", spent a couple of days, Sep. 7 & 8 in Sanibel on a mini vacation. I found the Anchor Inn on this website and decided to check it out when we got there. On the way into Sanibel we stopped by the Chamber of Commerce and ask about hotels and the very... More

Room was very clean and of nice size. Two queen beds and small kitchenette. Central location on island. Overall very nice affordable, bit rustic with island feel, great covered seating area in front of rooms. Will return for next vacation. More

We were in Sanibel/Captiva for 2 days of a 12 day south Florida journey. Part of the charm of this property is a given...it is on Sanibel...can you go wrong here? This little inn was charming. It is part of the reason I suppose people go to Sanibel which is to escape the large hotel chains and mass crowds. Our... More

We read the reviews before booking this hotel so we really did not have any surprises EXCEPT that the shower was too small for regular size adults. Actually, the bathroom in general was too small even though it was just my boyfriend and I. There was limited space to use on the sink counter, so we had to place some... More

I stayed at the Anchor Inn & Cottages with my boyfriend. It was our first trip together and we both LOVED staying in the cottage. It was adorable. We cooked in the little kitchen together and were so happily surprised at how many thoughtful touches were included, like mixing bowls and a cutting board. The cottage itself was completely charming,... More

My husband and I took a trip to Sanibel Island, FL for our anniversary and we stayed at the Anchor Inn. To begin with, their website for the Anchor Inn is incredibly decieving. When we finally got there, we found that the pictures on their website are very decieving. It looks like there are numerous rooms and multiple, very spacious,... More

Rented the A Frame Cottage it was nice, staff was friendly. We did have to wait about 40 mins when we arrived as they still were in process of cleaning cottage but they were nice about it. Island was very relaxing everyone was friendly, beaches were not over crowded. It is a bit pricey for eating out so may want... More
