「The cottage was clean and updated with everything you need, toiletries, kitchen pans and utensils, a full beach cart with everything needed for the beach. I took a few naps in the sun in the hammock. The location is great, an easy block to the beach. The only thing we had difficulty with was the gas grill did not heat up sufficiently to cook burgers. It was an incredible relaxing place for a family vacation, highly recommend it」
「The pool/beach area was amazing! The poolside service was awesome. My only concern was me a senior and friend staying with me a senior were assigned a 4 th floor room with no elevator. It took almost an hour to find a space that had an elevator. Jared the security guy was so helpful. Then for check out the system evidently had an issue and tried to charge me for what I had paid for on Expedia. Loved the resort not the service or convenience 」
「Had a great time for our 40th Anniversary stay there - room was nice and clean -of course mostly all is being rebuilt.
Would definitely come again - only thing we had to go to Costco and get an umbrella ☂️ the lounge chairs were great just needed some protection from the sun ☀️ ( they did have some for sale at the hotel) all in all beautiful beach and outside area with hammocks -the no see ums were really bad so bring protection!! 」
「Very kind staff that worked with us on an issue we had during booking process and at check in! They were amazing to us and I’d be happy to go back anytime 」
「Tarpon Tale Inn is a hidden treasure! If you want a quiet getaway on Sanibel Island with quick access to the beach, a private patio and grill, access to bicycles, an outdoor hot/cold shower, a shell washing station, and beach chairs/umbrella/wagon - this is it! The owner, Joe, has an eye for detail and it shows throughout your stay. I wanted a beach experience and that’s exactly what I got at Tarpon Tale Inn. Other than to explore (Blind Pass, Bowman Beach, Turner Beach and Captiva) the island...
「Very quiet and relaxing for my husband and I to get away for our anniversary. Everything was clean and comfortable. Loved that you could walk right out and fish off of the dock. Will definitely book a trip there again!」
「I think what stands out the most for us was the staff. Everyone who we interacted with was friendly and seemed to actually like their job!! The housekeeping was phenomenal! It was such a dream to come back after a full day at the beach to a fresh room. We watched the grounds keepers every morning going through their routine of cleaning pools, wiping tables, putting out lounge chairs and umbrellas And they all did it with a smile and a goodmorning! We felt super safe on the beach and all areas of...
「My wife and I travel often and are sometimes disappointed with motels and hotels that we've paid good money to stay
Harbor House is the exception. We loved it! My wife photographed the room and sent photos to family and friends. The pool and hot tub were the cherry atop the ice cream.」
「Erica and Holly were amazing! I got a personal call that the room was ready early for check-in. We had a delayed flight and they got us situated for late check-in which was very simple. We also met some locals who told us the Inn was the best spot for pizza in town.
The bay is quiet so I was able to work one day out on their back patio which was a nice treat.
The walk to the beach and main strip was 5 min. After check-out we were able to come back and use their boat house shower before...
