Owner is really friendly room is very clean nice place.

beautiful location. bikes, wagon, beach chairs, beach umbrella provided. close to beach. Shell washing station. outdoor shower.
-
Great location about a five minute walk down quiet beach road to the beach and the lighthouse. Also the lighthouse shopping plaza nearby was a great source of excellent food and ice cream! Comfortable room with a great staff! Everyone was friendly, welcoming and helpful. We especially appreciated the availability of the outdoor shower to clean off from the beach before coming inside. In addition, our gracious hosts allowed us to leave our car parked there after checkout so we could enjoy one last visit to the beach. Also, they allowed us to use their cart and chairs and afterwards use the outdoor shower, all after checkout! We will be back for sure!

Far exceeded our expectations and hopes. We were welcomed by the owner who gave us a tour, oriented us to the Inn and community, showed us the amenities, which included bikes for getting around with lots of biking lanes on the Island. Also the amenities included everything for the beach-beach cart, chairs, umbrellas, towels, shell hunting equipment and bucket with a sink for cleaning the treasures, outdoor heated showers, table and chairs on the partially enclosed porch outside your door for eating, hammock and bench swing every few cottages for relaxing. Quiet, within two blocks of both bay and the gulf with white sand beaches… beautiful. Set within trees with designated parking place for each room. Our room which was one of the smaller ones, was great for my wife and I, with a fridge, microwave and dishes. Restaurants right across the street and next door, with a couple of stores within walking or riding distance, even some grocery stores a short ride down the street. We will be back!

Perfect place to relax! Staff was great! Short walk to beach, shopping, and places to eat. Highly recommended!

no breakfast, great location, only two towels, basic and clean. More towels, a closet would have been nice.

Great Seashells Liked everything

The people at the property were very friendly. Check in is normally at 3pm but they will text you when your room is ready earlier. They have a lot of information in the office which comes in very handy. The room is not that big but it has a kitchen with all necessary equipment, and a nice little patio where you can have breakfast. You can buy coffee and muffins/bagels across the street. They also have chairs and bikes at your disposal. Easy if you want to go to the beach! Checkout is at 10am, but you can use chairs and bikes even after checkout, which is great!

Everything was exactly what I was looking for in a hotel stay. Joe has done an extremely good job touching all aspects of a quality stay. All the attention to the small details makes for an excellent stay!!!! It wasn’t ocean front.
-
Great location, excellent facilities ( eg fire pit) , bike and beach furniture provision. Comfortable bed, good size room. The innkeepers were friendly, professional and helpful. Everything was great.
-
It has everything you need for a relaxing beach getaway. Your rental includes access to beach gear and bikes. Wickies restaurant is directly across the street and kept us fueled up for our adventures. Oh, and the nearest beach is just around the corner, about a 5 minute walk. I should have stayed longer.
-
We enjoyed a superb week! Staff was extremely helpful, our room was clean and quiet. The inn provided beach chairs, towels, and carts for the 10 minute walk to the beach, even a shell cleaning station. Plenty of bikes for guests to use. Excellent dining and ice cream shop available across the street. We can't wait to go again next year!!

Our room was clean and comfortable and the staff was friendly and helpful. We loved our visit to Sanibel and staying at the Tarpon Tale Inn and look forward to going there again some day.

We were looking for a quiet place to stay. The Tarpon Tale Inn checked off every single box! From the welcoming text to the friendly Inn keeper, our stay was perfect. The room was clean and nice in size. The location was perfect! Just a quick bike ride (which were free of charge) to the beach. There were some cute shops next door and across the street. If we decide to stay on Sanibel Island again, we will be staying there!!

Really enjoyed our stay and the host was great. Would definitely stay again.
