Our first impression of Seaside inn coming directly from some deluxe hotels in Orlando and Miami was, what a small and worn down local inn. But boy we were wrong. This is a very charming and quiet inn, perfectly situated at the most wonderful beach on Sanibel. The atmosphere is friendly and the staff is so nice and helpful.
The pool is small but very nice and there are chairs and umbrellas on the beach free of charge. We didn’t have any problems getting a chair by the pool as others have mentioned, in fact we only saw few other guests at the pool during our entire stay, and the hotel seemed fully occupied.
The room was great with ok beds and overlooking the pool and the beach. We spend most time on the beautiful beach and had lot of fun shelling.
Only problem we experienced during our stay was the mosqitos. We all had several nasty bites, and walking on the beach in the sunset was nearly impossible (unless you don’t mind be eaten alive).
But this can hardly be blamed on the Seaside Inn, and we will definitely stay here again if coming back to Sanibel one day – it is the most beautiful and peaceful place.
