I love the Anchor Inn on Sanibel. I will return. The Inn is cozy, comfortable, quiet, and perfectly located so I could get anywhere easily.

Room was spotless. Had free bikes, locks, helmets. Even has a shell washing station! Keurig with coffee sugar and creamer minis, a mini fridge and cooktop if you wanted it. King Bed was very comfortable!
