Lekkere kamer op loopafstand van het strand
Tarpon Tale Inn ligt op het leukste deel van Sanibel vonden wij. Je kunt lopen naar het strand en ze hebben ook fietsen. Prettig complex, overal zitjes, ontspannen sfeer.

Mooi ingerichte huisjes op een schitterend eiland
Aandacht voor details in deze erg leuk ingerichte appartementen. Ons appartement lighthouse 1 had een volledig ingerichte keuken inclusief keukengerei. Het appartement was ruim genoeg voor 2 personen en schoon. Internet was goed. Inrichting erg leuk met leuke details. Ook buiten veel voorzieningen voor algemeen gebruik (gratis fietsen, hangmat, stoelen, strandspullen, wasbak voor schoonmaken schelpen, bbq). Ons appartement lag aan de tuinzijde en dat is (nog) rustiger dan aan de straatkant. 's Ochtends hoor je aan de straatkant veel meer verkeer van het tegenoverliggende restaurant, de souvenirwinkel en bakker. Voor verbetering vatbaar is het bed in ons appartement. Dit was eigenlijk onacceptabel slecht. Het leek doorgezakt en wij rolden dus continu naar elkaar toe. Mogelijk was het bed gewoon kapot omdat het ook erg kraakte. Ik kon zo alleen niets zien aan de onderkant wat echt kapot was.

Thank you for your kind words and glad you enjoyed your stay. I am sorry if your bed was not comfortable. I wish we could have remedied it for you while you were here. Most of our units are equipped with hard on one side soft on the other bedding so we can flip the mattress to suite different guests. I hope you'll try us again.

A One Of A Kind Sanibel Gem!!
The Tarpon Tale Inn is a unique and charming place to stay while on Sanibel Island. It has been beautifully and lovingly restored after Hurricane Ian, and is so cute, comfortable and clean! Every meticulous detail has been attended to by the owner, Joe, who is so friendly and exceptionally accommodating! The grounds and outdoor ambiance of the inn’s setting are welcoming and lovely. Nestled among palm trees and gorgeous tropical plantings, one can spend a pleasant afternoon outside simply relaxing on the double swing, the hammock, or on your own private patio! Bicycles for exploring the island via its incredible bike trails, along with all the beach equipment you could possibly need are included in your stay. The short walk to Sanibel’s gorgeous beaches makes The Tarpon Tale Inn’s location just perfect for your island paradise getaway. This darling property on amazing Sanibel Island is not to be missed!

This property is a very quaint in that it provides a private patio area for each room along with quite a bit of shared space. I never heard the people in the other rooms, so it was very quiet and just a 5 minute walk to the beach.

Love this place! So clean, comfy, well-themed, biked to Lighthouse Beach, used cart to haul excellent quality beach chair, umbrella (all come with room!) , etc to walk under five minutes to private beach, across the street is Tuttles and EmOcean, next door is Lighthouse Surf Shop- all wonderful! The Birdcage Room is quirky, a step UP into the bathroom, a high mattress but worth the climb- the most comfortable mattress, ever! Sanibel is strong- has returned to life and needs YOU! Do have a Hawaiian pizza from Island Pizza- so delicious!

Fantastic place!
Our stay was fantastic! We got extremely lucky to get the king family room! I think we were probably the first people to stay there after their restoring of the rooms. It was beautiful, spacious and super clean. They have free bicycles to borrow along with beach chairs, umbrellas, a cart, beach towels. The outside had 2 lounge chairs, table with 4 chairs and cushions and grill. I absolutely 💯 % recommend this place. The owner Dawn is super nice, friendly, and helpful. If I could I would give this more than 10 star rating!!

Absolutely wonderful owners & place!!!!! Owners text us prior to arriving welcoming us & giving directions. When we arrived, Dawn showed us around & explained all that was available (beach chairs, towels, umbrellas, carts, shelling supplies, shell washing station & bikes). Our cute little room was beautifully decorated, clean & comfortable. Very private. Quiet & safe area. We received a text from Joe in the morning thanking us for staying & explaining checkout process. Awesome place with exceptional owners. Highly recommend & we will definitely go back & stay here again!

This place was the best! Everything is new, or looks brand new. Beautiful rooms, everything you need in the kitchen. The bed was super comfortable, I didn’t want to get out of it to go shelling. Everything you need for the beach was provided: wagon, beach chairs, umbrellas, shelling tools, etc. There is even a cleaning station for your shells. And an outside shower, to cool off after your beach day. Super comfortable hammocks in the shade of palm trees. A gas grill was also provided on the property. Loved the bikes, usually you get rickety bikes almost falling apart, but NO these bikes are brand new. Outside lighting was very romantic so you can sit outside and drink a glass of wine on your patio. I’m already planning my next vacation there.

Accommodations were excellent, everything you need to stay comfortably with a fully equipped kitchen, large screen TV, cable TV, wifi, comfortable king bed in my unit, reclining sofa, supplied beach chairs, cart, beach towels, outside bbq grill, literary everything you need to stay here for weeks (I wished).only srayed for the night,this time. Joe the owner is great and always available if and when needed. This establishment is definitely a great place to spend time on the island. About a 5 min walk down to the beach.

Love Tarpon Tale Inn
We had an excellent 3 night stay at the Lighthouse II room— it was very nicely decorated and with tasteful furnishings. The room has been redone/updated to a more modern beach vibe look (the website’s room photos are outdated). This was a pleasant surprise! The room and bathroom was spotless. Excellent value for our stay with so many amenities, all of which we used! Outdoor shower (which can be used even after check-out if you decide to go to the beach and have a later flight), beach towels, beach umbrella, beach chairs, beach cart, private furnished patio, backyard seating, hammocks, luggage storage (before check-in and after check-out), utensils, tableware, microwave, mini fridge and coffeemaker. The most used amenity were the free bikes! We used these every day since we didn’t have a car rental. To get to farther destinations, we used a local taxi company, Island Taxi, to get around. The Lighthouse Beach park is a 3 min bike ride away, as well as another beach just a 5 min walk away. Joe was super accommodating and even let us keep a copy of a laminated Sanibel seashell guide! The office even has bug spray for guest use— so useful since we used up all our bug repellent wipes. If we return to Sanibel, we will only stay at Tarpon Tale Inn! Thank you Joe, for making our first visit to Sanibel a relaxing and enjoyable one!

We had a great stay at the Tarpon Tale Inn! Joe, the owner, was very welcoming and asked us each time he saw us if we needed anything. He helped us navigate the area and find what we needed to have an enjoyable time. The room was lovely and clean, parking was close, and the location is ideal for shopping, restaurants, and of course the beach! I also loved that there were bikes to use instead of us having to drive to the beach! We will definitely be back!

Our stay in Sanibel
We were greeted as soon as we arrived by a friendly manager. Our parking spot just in front of our cottage was so convenient, There are shops beside and across the street which was so nice. Just a short walk down the street and you are at the beach; actually in 2 directions 2 different beach areas. The room was small but clean & comfy....

I rarely write reviews but my experience at Tarpon Tale was so enjoyable in so many ways that it deserves one. First, the grounds are well-maintained and reflect the excellent taste of the owners/managers who have created a true tropical retreat in a small space. Secondly, the room was very clean and well-appointed in a coastal vibe that truly felt like an escape. Third, Dawn (the property manager and former owner) is a pleasure to speak with and a wealth of Sanibel knowledge. In summary, I highly recommend this boutique property for a wonderful Sanibel experience.
