Find hotels near Bailey's Beach, Sanibel from SAR68

"The renovation after the hurricane has made this place quite nice. The rooms are clean, and feel modern with some very considerate touches. The area around it is still in recovery. This means limited options for food, shopping, and visiting. Plus, smells of sewage are often encountered while cycling around the area due to an abundance of portalets at job sites. It’s been 20 yrs or so since I have lived in the area and been a frequent visitor to Sanibel. It seems like it has converted from a small island beach town with actual locals to a place for the ultra wealthy to buy their third, fourth, fifth etc. vacation home. My guess is the hurricane just accelerated that process as actual locals cash out and developers and realtors just see the land as a cash cow and a spot to build a multi-million dollar home. Sanibel, like so many other coastal areas have become, is serviced mostly by people who live off island and can answer few questions about the area and its history. It’s still a beautiful place, but it has lost a lot of its down-to-earth charm and hospitality, at least from what I can remember. This hotel though seems to have somehow kept that very elusive low key hospitality and small town feel intact. Kudos to them and I will return again, at least until someone finds a way to buy it out and coverts it to a Marriott something or other."

"Beautiful view from my balcony. "

"The room was amazing but the bed was to firm with flat pillows. Would return but bring our own pillows. Clean snd had lots of amenities "

"Staying at Ralph's place was a great. The property was great - clean, organized and very accommodating. Ralph was also very helpful and easily available to get in touch with. Our family had a wonderful time and would recommend this place to anyone."

"Nicely located close to the beach & a super ice cream shop! The next door plaza also had the best shopping we found on the Island. Our accommodations exceeded expectations with nice wine glasses,dishware,beach chairs & even a Kurig Coffee Maker. The beach towels seemed new"

"Excellent location. Super clean, has everything you need to enjoy Sanibel. Communication with owner was great. Beautiful house. Thank you !"

"Property was great and we had a wonderful time. The only issues we faced were the kitchen wasn't well stocked with items like cups or mugs. They didn't have a wine opener, etc. Otherwise it had everything we needed. The dishwasher also didn't work. Bedrooms, bathrooms, common space, porch, everything else was amazing. Perfect basecamp for adventures out across the island."
