is anyone familar with this inn we are booked here in june but totally unfamilar with sanibel, unable to book first choice casa ybel or condos for short stay.

There is The Sanibel Inn at 937 E.Gulf Drive and The Island Inn at 3111 W.Gulf Drive.
Which one ??!

Not sure which inn you're reffering to..but if you're interested in restaurants, the Bubble Room on adjoining Captiva Island is a quirky, fun place to eat with GREAT desserts, and the Green Flash (more for adults)
is a relaxing place with good food; also on Captiva. We've vacationed at Sanibel a lot...you'll love it if you're looking for a relaxing trip. We also enjoyed renting a kayak, even though we don't swim well, we weren't scared...you can go touring yourself, or with a guide. Also check out the tide charts for the best times to shell...Have fun!

thanks for the reply eva the address is 937 e gulf

Hi ! I'm glad it's the Sanibel Inn. You will like it ! We have vacationed on Sanibel over 25 years, and love it. A very special place
Sanibel Inn has had several diff. ownerships, lately was Sanibel Hilton, before "Inn". Look up www.sanibelinn.com for details. We never stayed there, but looks nice.Near causeway is Chamber of Commerce, much info avail, maps, etc.you'll be right on beach, but a wonderful beach is at Bowman Beach off

Sorry, something whisked my letter off ! Bowman Beach is off Sanibel-Captiva Rd. It will "merge" with Turner Beach. There is so much to see and do, but look for info at Ch of Comm, they even have restaurants' menus on hand. Have a great time !!!!!
