Sanibel beach

We had an amazing time during our stay! The manager was very friendly and the rooms were nicely tucked away. It was great to have a peaceful atmosphere without any young children running around. And the beach definitely lived up to our expectations - there were so many shells, it was incredible! We will definitely be returning in the future.

We have been frequent guests at the Blue Dolphin for many years and it remains my preferred choice in Sanibel. If you enjoy a relaxed atmosphere and the traditional Florida style, you will absolutely adore it. It's the closest accommodation to the beach, allowing you to step out of your room and be just a few feet away from the ocean. The location offers more privacy as it is surrounded by privately owned houses, unlike the busier end of the beach with numerous hotels and condos. The manager, Charlene, is fantastic! She is incredibly friendly and helpful, ensuring that you have everything you need for a perfect stay. Hopefully, this place will continue to maintain its charm for years to come!

We had the pleasure of staying here this week and the beauty of this place exceeded our expectations. It's a wonderfully charming and peaceful location, and it's so conveniently close to the beach ❤️ They even provide complimentary chairs, umbrellas, bikes, and beach towels for guests to use. The staff is incredibly friendly and kind. We're definitely planning on returning. We've discovered our new favorite vacation spot!

We had a fantastic four-night stay at this place! It's a cozy and peaceful spot with plenty of privacy. The beachfront location is perfect, as it's not too crowded. The staff was incredibly friendly and radiated positive vibes. Natalia, in particular, was exceptionally kind and made us feel right at home. Her warm greetings and hospitality truly made our stay exceptional!

We have been staying at this beautiful location for many years. There are no tall hotels here (thankfully), instead it has more of a cottage atmosphere, with palm trees and other vegetation, situated on a path that leads directly to the beach. You will find comfortable lounge chairs, beach umbrellas, bikes, and plenty of towels available for your use. The cottages were built with the preservation of natural vegetation in mind, which provides guests with a sense of privacy and allows the place to blend in with the surrounding landscape, something we truly appreciate. It may not be luxurious, but it is clean and comfortable, and the staff is friendly and helpful. Beth, who unfortunately passed away, was a wonderful person, and her husband Ed is also great. We always visit at the same time each year and eagerly anticipate seeing other returning guests at the Blue Dolphin. It is a simple and special place that has everything you need.
