Shalimar Cottages And Motel in Sanibel

We had a fabulous first- time experience at this beautiful resort! The manager, owner and office staff were so kind and accommodating and treated you like family. Their saltwater pool was divine, and we swam there daily. It was very convenient being able to go to the office and pick up needed supplies, change of towels, etc. Our one-bedroom villa was well stocked with everything you could think of, including a clothes steamer. We rented a beach umbrella and loungers, and fresh pool towels were available daily. We only encountered no-see-ums a handful of times at dusk when the wind died down. The wrist band waterproof bracelet was very convenient. The entire resort was very quiet and relaxing. We had many wonderful dining experiences, including Timbers (twice) Doc Fords, newly opened Bubble Room, Tuti-Pazzi and Mudbugs (both with excellent music) Dantes and Cielo. Highly recommend Captiva Cruises (Cabbage Key lunch cruise). The beautiful boat ride alone was worth the price of admission watching the dolphins swim alongside. With each passing year post Hurricane Ian, it is remarkable to see how much this beautiful island has bounced back.

The location was great and the kids liked it. I think if you have young kids it's an ideal set up. The design of the pool worked very well for my 4 year old who like water but can't swim

Few words that comes to my mind as I am checking out today from this property- “beautiful”, “stunning”, “gorgeous” , “Spotless”, “spacious “….i think I should stop now. Great property for a family vacation. You can’t go wrong.

What a great location! Right on the beach!
The bugs eat you alive day and night, so make sure to bring a spray. Pool good, basketball net is great if ppl didn't park there. Shelling experience is awesome, owners lovely people.

Been 4 years in a row and will be back next year. Clean quite inexpensive, amazing beach access, just have to do ur own room service with towels and sheets but I like that. No one to bother u or hassle about cleaning ur room

Love this place. Cozy little cottages and great efficiency rooms with ocean view. The pool is impeccably clean and there are always clean towels. You just can’t get any closer to the beach. The screened back patio of our room was a big bonus.
