Very cute vibe! Location was great -right on main “drag” walking distance to several places but biking is the way to go! So much fun and with the bike paths you can basically go anywhere. Perfect size for two. Very clean and lots of little touches that made it better like the shell cleaning station.
We had a wonderful stay at Anchor Cottage Inn on Sanibel. The location was incredibly convenient, close to everything we needed yet it remained peaceful and quiet even though the property was fully booked during our visit and located off a main road.
We stayed in the Signature Cottage, which was beautifully designed with thoughtful details throughout. It truly felt like everything had been considered, from the clean, easy-to-use laundry machines to the beach chairs and towels ready for use.
A special mention goes to Jane, who was absolutely amazing warm, welcoming, and always available when we had questions. Her recommendations for food and local activities were spot-on and really enhanced our trip.
We would absolutely recommend staying here and wouldn’t hesitate to return.
Really cute place, clean, beautiful renovation, good location, owner was easy to communicate with. The bed was really comfortable. My only negative was that in the king pond view room the AC blows right on the bed. I had a hard time sleeping but my husband was ok. We only stayed one night so I dealt with it but if we were there longer I might've asked to change rooms if the AC was different in another room. But overall I would book again on another trip to Sanibel.
You probably will not stay in one of the triangular cottages. Most rooms look like a one-story motel and are not well represented on the hotel web site. However, everything about the room was high quality and comfortable. Our room (07) overlooked a pond with anhingas, turtles and egrets. Free bikes with helmets and locks, free guest laundry.
Beautifully remodeled inn. However, I would like to have a little more personal contact during my visit. The Inn itself is lovingly restored and we especially appreciated the pool.
Our stay at Anchor Inn may have been short, but it was so sweet! The space was absolutely amazing, and we already can’t wait to come back the next time we’re in Sanibel. The owner was incredibly responsive and attentive, and adding an early check-in was seamless and hassle-free. We loved every minute and would definitely recommend it!
We would definitely stay here again. We had everything we needed and more. Very cute, clean room and property. We felt very safe as well. Friendly staff. Couldn't ask for a better experience.
The room was clean, quaint & had everything we needed. The onsite laundry facility came in very handy. We took a hammock nap that was amazing. We will definitely be back!
This hotel was perfect It was decorated beautifully and was so clean and the bed was so comfy and the rainfall shower was very nice, the room had everything you could need for a nice vacation there’s a market within walking distance which had everything you need to make your stay perfect highly recommend this hotel anytime we come back to Sanibel we will always stay here
Great stay! The bikes were such a bonus! We rode all over the Island. The room looked brand new and had such a quaint feel to it. It was more than we could have asked for!
