Very welcome to pets. We had a great time. Nice design to rooms. Kitchen had everything we needed. Beach was just a few minute walk. Didn’t even have to drive. Had dinner, lunch and breakfast in walking distance.

We had the best time. We loved the pool. The unit was clean and had everything we needed. Guests should know that this unit is next to the pool equipment so there is the hum of that on the porch but this is not heard inside. The property is beautiful and all the staff were helpful.

We had absolutely everything we needed
My family of 3 stayed here for 4 nights. We had absolutely everything we needed- just took a quick trip to Jerry's for some food staples and we were all set! Everything was clean, stocked, and exactly as promised/pictured! We loved the short walk to the beach and found beautiful shells easily. We also loved having the pool to ourselves everyday…because it was freezing! Definitely not heated, but that didn't stop us! Loved everything about this place, the location, and the amenities. Would absolutely recommend and definitely want to return!
My mom, sister, and I spent 4 nights here for my mom's birthday. We had a great stay! The unit was clean and well-supplied with basics. The walk to the beach was quick and easy, and the appreciates that the unit offered beach chairs, umbrellas, and wagons.

Thank you for the 5 Star Review. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you back again soon.
Property was pet friendly. Short walk to a fantastic dog friendly beach. So fun gathering shells. No-seums were lethal, be prepared! Everything else was amazing!

Hi there! Thank you for stopping in at Signal Inn Unit 01! Thank you so much for your lovely review, and the 10/10 score rating!! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the property’s pet-friendly setup and that the short walk to the fantastic dog-friendly beach made your stay extra special. It’s wonderful to know you had fun gathering shells too—such a classic Sanibel experience!
We’re sorry about the no-see-ums—they can definitely be pesky at times in Florida’s tropical climate. We always recommend guests bring a good repellent just in case, and we’ll be sure to make that tip clearer for future visitors.
We’re delighted that everything else was amazing, and we truly appreciate your kind words. We’d love to welcome you back anytime for another fun and relaxing stay—hopefully with fewer no-see-ums next time!

This site was perfect for a mini vacation with my granddaughter. It was close to the beach so we could collect shells every evening at low tide. The unit was clean, comfortable, and spacious. The on-site manager was very helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

Clean. great location. Beautiful property. 3 min walk to beach. Roomy 3 bed condo. We rented bikes for the whole time and never needed a car. I would bring an extra roll or two of toilet paper

Hi Elizabeth! Thank you for the 5-star rating, and thank you for your lovely review! We're happy you enjoyed the clean, spacious condo and the great location near the beach. Renting bikes sounds like a perfect way to explore. Thank you for mentioning the TP, however, kindly note that unlike hotels, our homes are stocked to a minimum standard, and guests are required to replenish their amenities. Thank you again for taking the time to submit a review, and we'd love to host you again soon!
The condo was quite nice but the complex was even better. The arrangement of the condos made for an intimate community setting around the pool. The condos are set back from the beach in a tropical environment. It is beautiful!

Liked: Check-in
Disliked: Listing accuracy
Was not as advertised
The place was listed as sleep six. There was one bathroom with one towel bar. We had three people no way to hang towels anywhere, sparsely Supplied. I like to stay in a VRBO so you have a more cozy feel. This was a very sterile. Feel many lights did not work. No lights on the patio.. Pull out bad was broken

Liked: Property conditions & facilities, communication
The property was beautiful, i guess we missed understood check in or something cause we didn't get any dishes soap, extra toilet paper since we only got half a roll left, no trash bags in the trash cans so we had to go buy some. Our last day I was told that we should receive a welcome bag after i had ask about the extra toilet paper and we finally got our welcome bag.
But other than that the management person that i was texting was very nice. We did enjoy our time at the property, the place is very beautiful, very quiet. I would recomend this rentals property to others but to make sure communicate with each other.
