This 3 hour bike tour was so interesting. Guides Chris and Maggie shared fun and factual information on natives, pirates, and pioneers! The ride was nice and flat and we rode on both paved bike trails and nature trails. Highlights of the bike trip were the lighthouse, the causeway, Bailey nature preserve (we saw alligators, turtles, pelicans and snowy egrets), and finally the Sanibel historic village! Be sure to bring water and a snack.

My husband and I stayed at Song of the Sea for 2 nights/3 days. I picked this place primarily because of location and the floors were not carpeted (my preference). We were pleasantly surprised with the cleanliness and ample size of the room. We reserved a partial ocean view in the 2nd floor which didn’t afford you much of the ocean view but given the time of year it was too hot to sit in the screened in balcony anyway. Here are some pros and cons. Cons- The property is dated with 2 floors with the upper floors providing the most privacy. The kitchenette is small but they do provide a full size refrigerator. However the funky little coffee maker in the room only takes their pre-packed coffee pods and not good. The pool is small with a few number of chairs that we noticed were taken early on. While they tell you there is a beach chair attendant for the beach chairs we never saw one and it was on a first come first serve basis. Lastly, the bed pillows were small. Upon departure we recommended they provide normal size pillows. Pros- the property was quiet, well maintained and clean. Breakfast is continental with plenty of items to choose from; cereal, bagels, muffins, waffles, hard boiled eggs, fruit etc. and the attendants were very nice, and made sure everything was right. The sitting area was outside on a lovely patio. There are complimentary bikes and helmets, kayaks and paddle boards to use. They have a larger sister property right next door you could use which looked newer but was busier and noisier with a larger pool and bar so depending on what you like you could choose either. Based on the resort offerings we would recommend. Dinners- the first night we went to Doc Ford’s Rum Bar in Sanibel, very casual. Recommend you go early (6 ish) because after that the waiting was crazy. It’s a good place for burgers, sandwiches etc. The highlight of our dinner was the grilled oyster appetizer that was great everything else was average. 2nd night we went to Mad Hatter, phenomenal! It’s adjacent to the ocean and you could see the sunset from there. The atmosphere is eclectic with the host wearing the most outrageous “Alice in Wonderland” fitting suit, but the service was exceptional. For appetizers we had a shrimp wrapped in philo dough and the Mad hatter salad, both very good but the entrees were the stars, black grouper over mashed potatoes and I had the triple tale fish over risotto. Both excellent! Fine dining! Location was good!

We booked a room for 2 nights. We checked into our room, then checked the pool temperature. The water was too hot to enter. We then went to the Island Time bar at Sanibel Inn. While talking to staff and other guests they mentioned that the pool water was always hot. We decided to head to the beach. We received a text message that all chairs would be removed from the beach at 5 pm. So we took our own. When we reached the beach it smelled like red tide. We couldn't stand staying at the beach. I called Sanibel Inn since Song of the Seas office closes at 6pm. No one would answer the phone. I drove over to Sanibel Inn and spoke to the desk clerk. She said I could leave but I'd be charged for the night. She said that management would call me the next day. Brad Stanze, Front Desk manager called the next morning and said they pool techs checked the pool and said the water temp. was 80 degrees, and no guests have made any complaints about the pool or smell at the beach. He also said their policy is once you check in you are charged fully no matter if you have concerns or not. I would never stay at this place or their sister places either.

Place was great, clean and great service. The structure is not modern, but they are clean and bathrooms are renovated (a big deal for me). Love the vintage decoration inside as well and it felt so cozy. Anvar in front desk was amazing!

Song of the Sea is a wonderful place to stay on Sanibel Island and even better than expected. We are in a second floor gulf front suite with a remodeled kitchen and it is well worth the money. The inn is so quiet we sometimes feel lile we are the only people staying here. Amanda and Michael at the front desk are so helpful, and housekeeping does a great job. Breakfast is fresh berries and fresh juice plus waffles, bagels and bread. Beach chairs and umbrellas are set up early in the morning which is convenient. Bikes and beach towels are readily available. Song of the Sea is an ideal location reasonably close to Periwinkle where the restaurants and shops are located.
