Seahorse Cottages on Sanibel - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Our cottage was great! It was clean, and the bed was comfortable. It was nice to have porch areas out front and back and it was an easy walk to the beach and restaurant/ice cream shop. It was also nice to have the small pool to cool off in. Would definitely stay here again if we ever come back to Sanibel!"

Stunning Luxury villa Sandpiper across the street from the beach!

8/10 Good

"Nice and close to the beach. Very clean. Nice backyard with canal. Rooms comfortable.Might have been in details somewhere, but need to bring/buy things like hand soap, Kleenex, and such. Minimal kitchen items and dishes. Still a wonderful property but be just to know so you are prepared."
