The Anchor Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing weekend getaway in Sanibel! The Anchor Inn was super clean, charming, and incredibly relaxing. Everything was just perfect for a peaceful escape, and the quick, responsive service made our stay even better. We absolutely loved our time here and will definitely be coming back! Highly recommend!"

Casa Ybel Resort

8/10 Good

"The property is super convenient the beaches across the street a volleyball pool and then a huge lighted pool. The rooms were very clean older but clean and very comfortable. Mine felt like a little apartment tiki bar downstairs is great. The food is good. The drinks were good. They do play music until about midnight so if you don’t like music till that time, this isn’t the place for you lol. We will definitely stay here again."

AMAZING GULF FRONT, 3 Bedrooms, Sleeps 8, Pets Welcome, Pool & bikes included!

Pros:-two king bed rooms with beach views-great beach-clean-good location -great host provided amenities such as bikes and beach equipment -amazing view-fridge had filtered water (not common in Vrbo rentals)- lots of tvs (if that is your thing)-great pool that is partially shaded all day- very responsive host and service company Cons:-one of the king beds had a very high bed height (36in)- laundry is in garage on first floor so you have to go outside to do laundry- property decorated with breakable things like glass vases"
