Tarpon Tale Inn

Excellent hospitality! The best I have ever had anywhere! I highly recommend the Tarpon Tale Inn!!!!!I shall return!!!!!

Property was beautiful. The pride the owners takes in maintaining this property definitely shows.

Makes you feel at home. Impeccably kept. Joe and Maureen give attention to details and think of guest convenience and hospitality. Excellent location. Steps from beach and little stores. Sanibel is gorgeous and chill, and so is Tarpon Tales Inn.

There's nothing I didn't like

On top of it the location is amazing. 5 minutes walking from the beach and across the street from food and drinks. I will 100% be coming back.

Great location, very comfortable and a great restaurant across the road Nothing.

The Seashell room itself is cute and just the right size: a queen bed, a small comfy chair with a coffee table, and a little dining table, plus a mini fridge/freezer and microwave. There's also a nice patio out front (bring bug spray — Sanibel bugs are no joke!). The location is a huge plus. It's just a few minutes' walk to the beach, so we skipped the hassle and expense of the island's limited beach parking entirely — we loaded up the provided beach cart and walked right down. A handful of shops (gifts, ice cream, restaurants) are within easy reach too. All in all, I highly recommend Tarpon Tale Inn. It's a small, family-run inn on Sanibel that gives you nearly everything you need for an easy, relaxing beach trip.

Hospitality

This was such a wonderful place to stay. I was a flight attendant for 33 years. I like staying in a small place. The trees, flowers, little plants out by the fire pit. I love riding a bike and it is so adventurous to ride around Sanibel. It is heaven on earth. My place was perfect for me, such a cute beach cottage. It was so clean and provided beach towels and beach equipment if you don’t bring your own. Enjoy this place as quite of bit of the island is turning into big resorts. Have fun!

Nothing to add here. I could noy find one thing to say negative. Except we weren't there long enough!

There is nothing I can really complain about.

Everything was great- property was well maintained and had everything we needed. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Location to beach, shops, restaurants was really convenient! We will stay there again next time we go to Sanibel!

Good location Peaceful & quiet

The Inn was an awesome experience. Joe, the host has a very charming and comfortable Inn. The hospitality was incredible. We will definitely be coming back often. Nothing we loved it all.

Very cute rooms, bikes to ride the island on, and plenty of amenities like lotions and beach gear. Nothing comes to mind.

We loved everything! Honestly Tarpon Tale Inn is just delightful! Joe was wonderful from the minute we booked and you can feel the pride and love put into his beautiful place. We loved being so close to the beach and the outdoor shower was a great touch!! Nothing.

Great location. Close to the lighthouse beach. Food right across the street. Very comfortable and has the basics of what you need. Very clean and cozy.

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!
