Seaside Inn

The property is older but well maintained. I was surprised with the extras available to the guests. Bikes, paddle boards, kayaks, shuffle board, corn hole, shell cleaning station, barbecue, laundry facility, beach chairs, umbrellas, etc. Continental breakfast was served in the office and this was also better stocked than I expected. Coffee, water, milk, pastries, muffins, cereals, yogurt, apples sauce, mixed fruit, fresh fruit, boiled eggs and more. We stayed in a cottage. Plenty of space and a well supplied kitchen. Usually we find thrift store finds in the kitchen, but everything looked like it was never used. The toaster and coffee maker still had the safeties on the plugs. Bring your own coffee and filter if you want to make your own coffee or just head up to the front desk during breakfast. There was also a microwave, stove, oven and fridge. All the utensils also looked new: 4 of the dinner plates, salad plates, bowls, glasses, cups, mugs, forks, knives, spoons, etc. There was a mixing bowl, cutting board, dish drainer, soap, new sponge, nice set of spatulas large spoons, large chef knives, and non stick pots and pans with lids. The beach was very beautiful and not crowded. We went our every morning to watch the sunrise and it was amazing. The property was also quieter than the larger hotels, which is a huge plus for us. We were also able to park right next to our cottage. The staff was great. Very pleasant check in and I received texts making sure everything was alright. This exceeded my expectations and hope to come back soon!

I understand policies, this was a nonrefundable trip. We were going for work and unfortunately exposed to Covid and I sent the positive Covid test as requested and never heard back from the hotel and no option of rescheduling. I was disappointed that they would not work with me on rescheduling our trip due to Covid. We were trying to protect others instead of coming there and being sick, and I feel like I was penalized for that. I have given it a one star based off of customer service but I don’t know what the hotel actually looks like because we did not go and I don’t have an option to reschedule the two rooms that were booked.

We had such a pleasant stay at Seaside Inn and I can't wait to tell you about it. From the moment we walked in Cameron greeted us and was super accommodating. A very professional enthusiastic staff member. We loved the short walk to the beach, the pool was crystal clear and refreshing, and the room was clean and spacious. We met Amber at the front desk in the evening and she made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. When we checked out in the morning, Lily was super friendly and when we encountered a slight problem, she was diligent about finding the solution and even called to reassure us. We will definitely return to Seaside Inn! We love Sanibel!
