10/10 Exceptional

This place was beautiful and very accommodating. It was a short walk or bike ride to the beach. The room had everything we needed and beach chairs, beach cart and bicycles were provided. It was right across from a coffee and ice cream shop and a nice restaurant and a gift shop. I will definitely be back to visit.
Kimberly, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Enjoy Sanibel Beach!

Tarpon Tale Inn is conveniently located on east end of Sanibel Island. The Inn is right across the street from a really good restaurant (loved the coffee) and Magic Bus Ice Cream shop. The bed was very comfortable. Just need to be cautious of the step up into the bathroom! The hosts were very flexible! Proximity to beach - excellent (2 blocks) Property provides bikes, beach towels, beach chairs and umbrella!!

Old Florida charm with modern amenities. Joe is super customer oriented. No details were missed, from the room itself and the grounds, with hammocks, bicycles, beach equipment readily available. Good restaurant across the street. Park your car, hop on a bike, and enjoy the charm son Sanibel.
