This is the worst place you can possible stay at. The owner is rude and yells a lot. The unit smelled, the AC didn't work, the door wouldn't lock and the owner was totally unreasonable. We moved out and found a much nice place for the same price....

I was pleasantly surprised when we arrive at the Sandpiper Inn. Our apartment was very clean, simple and had everything that we needed: linens, beach towels, beach chairs, bikes and a full (yet small) kitchen. We were a 5 minute walk from the beach or a 5 minute bike ride from a grocery store/diner. For the price, I don't think you could find a better, homey, comfortable place to stay.

The only problems that we had were that the stove would set off the smoke detector and the microwave would only run for 3 minutes before it tripped the surge protector. Neither was a big issue, but it was a little bit of a hassle when preparing dinners.

We were on our own for the whole stay, which was very nice. The office had all supplies and we would just exchange towels every 3 days. There was also a washing machine/drier for us to use. Bikes were free to use for 3 hours, but were on the old side - for a more comfortable ride, you may want to rent a bike from Billy's. Cable TV was welcome after long days in the sun.

We would definitely stay at the Sandpiper again and recommend it highly!

We stayed 5 night at the Sandpiper and had an excellent time. We had our two small children with us and they absolutely had a blast. Great room! Very homie and very cute! Would recommend to all. The staff was very nice and helpful to us. Will definately stay there again. Four thumbs up!

If you are looking for a nice, clean and quiet place on Sanibel, I found the Sandpiper Inn the place. The kitchen is a great place to save some money. We had our breakfast in the unit and were able to spent a few more dollars going out to dinner. It is just a short walk down the street to a beautiful beach. You are only minutes to some of the best resturants, bike paths and shopping. I am happy I decided to stay here and save a couple of dollars so I could enjoy other things on the island that Sanibel has to offer. Very clean and the paint colors we just loved. Very island like.
