Had such a wonderful time during my stay I didn't want to leave! Not only were the cottages clean and well maintained but the staff was pleasant and helpful as well! The amenities on site are excellent. The location can't be beat, everything you need within a very short walk. I will definitely return!

We chose Castaways as our wedding location because of its tropical location and laid back atmosphere. The staff was fantastic and our guests had a wonderful time. We stayed in #28 next to the marina, which provided a perfect view of local wildlife each morning.

My entire family just returned from 5 days at Castaways. It was so relaxing and fun for everyone. We enjoyed kayaking in the bay, finding an array of lovely shells, cooking on the grills, swimming, watching the most beautiful sunsets and just getting totally away from stress. Everyone went out of their way to provide us with whatever we needed.... More

My wife and I had planned a longer stay on Sanibel. However, news of red tide forced us to make arrangements elsewhere. We made a point, though, to stop in Sanibel, just to check it out for future getaways (of course, the red tide had passed). We stayed at Castaways and enjoyed it very much. It has an unpretentious, "old... More

We stayed at Castaways during spring break and had a wonderful time. We rented unit 34 which has a small dock right outside the back porch. You could see the marina from this site which was great for the fisherman in our family. There are many reviews about the resort being old and I agree that it is but it... More

Sanibel and Captiva are my favorite quick getaways, I try to go a couple times a year. I've stayed at various places and have really grown to love Castaways. They're dog friendly, super nice staff and cute places. The rates are reasonable if you go off season or look for and ask staff if there's any deals...they're very accomodating. It's... More

Husband and I stayed at Castaways (marina side, #24) in late March. It was clean and comfortable. If you are looking for a 5 star resort or amenities of a large, luxury chain, this isn't for you. But it was great for us and met all of our needs. For the most part, it was very quiet and relaxing. Constant... More

We selected Castaways for our mother-daughter senior spring break trip as it was able to accommodate our group of 6 during our short window of travel days. We booked the cottages a tad late so we were also willing to move from a bay side cottage to a beach cottage based on availability. We also researched with the chamber of... More

My husband, two dogs and I stayed here last year. We loved Sanibel and Castaway so much we made a promise to come back every year for our anniversary. It's very relaxing and affordable. Great location and dog friendly, we couldn't imagine staying anywhere else.
