We have been staying at Sanibel Moorings for many years, and as much as I hate to say it, the individual units have deteriorated. Last year we stayed in a one-bedroom unit. The carpet was spotted and there were other cleanliness issues. This year we rented a two-bedroom unit. We were assured that the owners kept it updated and in... More

We came back to stay at the Moorings a fifth time because our two kids begged us to go again. That's how much they love the place. The units are great and the grounds are expertly landscaped and maintained. The location near the causeway and the lower end of the Periwinkle "strip" is great too. This place is excellent for...

We ALWAYS go back to Sanibel Moorings. The grounds are beautiful with the botanical gardens. As we ride bikes, we see that Sanibel Moorings has one of the most beautiful properties in its price point. We like the natural look of the buildings which blend into the beautiful colorful environment. This time they had paved the entire parking and sidewalk... More

Guests: 2 adults, 2 children (boys 12 & 9) Unit: 421 - Ground floor It's a condo, not a hotel. Now that we've got past the point that there isn't room service or maid turn-down, let's land on the fact this is one of the nicest condos I've ever stayed in... Hands down. Unit was clean and tidy. One of... More

First of May is a great time to go to Sanibel; fewer crowds. Great website and reviews helped us pick this resort and Unit 112. We wanted to wake up each day looking at the ocean and that is exactly what you can do from this unit on the 2nd floor. The condo was well stocked in the kitchen with... More

We have been staying at Sanibel Moorings almost since they opened in the 70s. It is a classic - a comfortable, lovely place to stay. The units we have stayed in (usually 2-bedroom) are well-equipped. Sometimes the furnishings seem a bit tired (they are owner dependant), but if anything is actually wrong, the staff is wonderful about taking care of... More

My wife, 5-year old daughter and I just returned from four nights (May 2-5, 2013) at Sanibel Moorings (unit 411, which had a limited, but still decent, view of the gulf and the footbridge to the beach)--our first time staying at this condo resort--and we will definitely be returning to this tropical paradise! We had an absolutely fabulous time and... More

Sanibel Moorings has been our destination on Sanibel Island for many years. The two bedroom unit that we rented for a week was just great. Spotlessly clean with everything a person could possibly want. The grounds are even better than before (and they were always the best on the island). All the beautiful plantings are clearly marked with a little... More

This was a fantastic place to stay -- quiet and close to a private beach. We stayed a week, and would love to visit again. The two bedroom condo was just the right size, and we saved quite a bit on restaurant fees by cooking a few meals in the kitchenette.
