“Sunset Beach Inn strikes me as a balanced choice, especially for families; the beachfront location and free use of bikes, kayaks, and paddleboards create a relaxed, active vibe. I noted the suites include kitchenettes and private balconies, which adds convenience, though some areas show their age. If you seek a practical base for exploring Sanibel's natural side, and prioritize location and included amenities over ultra-modern decor, this could be a good fit.”
