What an incredible stay we had at Mitchell's Sandcastles (4/21-4/28). This was our first time on Sanibel and we didn't know what to expect. Everything about Sanibel and Mitchell's greatly exceeded our expectations. We will be going back! We stayed in the Sea Shell cottage, which Joel (the owner) had stated was just recently renovated. It was great…very clean with... More

I spent a few nights with a friend and my mother during the last week of March. We stayed in Ocean Mist, which is a three bedroom, three bathroom cottage that overlooks the ocean. It is right on the beach, and every door (except for the front) leads to the porch and view! This place was SOOOOOOOOOO clean! Everything seemed... More

You cant top perfection, though Mitchell's Sandcastles tries too. From the always hot water with lots of water pressure, to the senic peaceful beach and idealic grounds, Mitchell's Sandcastles was great from start to finish. Any suggestion or question we had, came with an immediate response. There is real pride in ownership here. We stayed in the Cocquina efficiency. It... More

My husband and I spent 6 nights at Mitchell's for our Spring Break at the end of March, in The Dunes cottage. It was exactly what we wanted - the perfect location with a view of the ocean from our porch, beautiful little cottage with all the comforts of home, relaxed atmosphere - no noisy college spring breakers, no stuffy...

We stayed at Mitchell's for a week....a group of 3. From the moment you arrive, your needs are met. You are greeted with friendliness and a genuine offer of help. The cottage we rented was immaculate, with any amenity you could ever want...microwave, dishwasher, toaster, coffee maker and full sized appliances. Towels and linens may be exchanged daily. (there are... More

Being so close to the beach in Sand Dollar for 18 nights was wonderful. So are the available bikes, beach equipment, tennis court, and grills. What we didn't like was the small things that are easily fixed by management but were not, even after several years. No towel rack in the tiny kitchen, the frig door opens the wrong direction...

Just returned from a week's stay at Mitchell's. We have been to Sanibel many times and we have stayed at places that cost a lot more--and some that cost less! There are a lot of reasons to love this place: free bikes, beach chairs, umbrellas, nice laundry facility, pools, computer room...there is a even a small fitness room----small but serviceable....

What a wonderful stay. The beach houses are fully equipped with everything you may need. They are not super chic or luxurious, just comfy and well done. We felt so at home and the service at the reception was just perfect. She was a young girl and she was so sweet with my daughter. The pool was perfect, good laundry... More

I can understand the appeal of Mitchell's and the reason why so many people have been returning for upwards of 20 years. The fabulous beach and wonderful sunsets which most of the residents gather for with drinks and conversation make this a wonderful location. The problem we had is with the Pelican Cottage where we stayed. The furniture is getting... More
