Our stay was fantastic! We got extremely lucky to get the king family room! I think we were probably the first people to stay there after their restoring of the rooms. It was beautiful, spacious and super clean. They have free bicycles to borrow along with beach chairs, umbrellas, a cart, beach towels. The outside had 2 lounge chairs, table with 4 chairs and cushions and grill. I absolutely 💯 % recommend this place. The owner Dawn is super nice, friendly, and helpful. If I could I would give this more than 10 star rating!!

This is a fabulous family run inn. The owners are very personable and enjoyable to talk and very willing to share local knowledge. The units also come with beach chairs, umbrella, and wagon to pull to the beach. Bicycles also available complimentary.

Tarpon Tale Inn was the best experience my husband and I have had on Sanibel Island! Absolutely beautiful facilities! Gorgeous rooms! The service was impeccable and flawless! They communicate so well with you throughout your stay and go above and beyond their call of duty to make sure your stay is heavenly! We will be back soon for sure! Our family and friends will definitely know where to go to experience a relaxing and luxurious getaway! Thank you Tarpon Tale for everything! We can’t wait to see you again!
