“Sunset Beach Inn strikes me as a practical choice on Sanibel, placing you right on the beach with welcome extras like complimentary bikes and kayaks. The large pool is a definite plus, and I appreciate that all rooms include kitchenettes, offering a home-like touch. While not the most modern, the location and amenities make it a solid base for families and those eager to explore the island's natural side.”
