The facility itself was quite pleasant. Our condo was promoted as kid-friendly, and the room indeed was, but most of the other guests were not accommodating to children. The photos made it seem like the ocean was close by, but in reality, it was about a football field and a half away from the water. This wasn't a major issue, but it was a long walk for small children. Overall, it wasn't a bad place, but I wouldn't choose to stay here again.
There are several beautiful beaches in the area. It's best to skip the first parking area and go to the fifth one or beyond.
The beach is really nice and perfect for fishing, collecting shells, and building sand castles! They have done a great job clearing out the natural debris left by the last hurricane. Just a heads up, if you're bringing young children, the bathrooms are located near the kayak rentals, which is about a quarter mile down the road.
Nous regrettons vraiment les Jardins. L'ouragan Ian a dévasté cette propriété, ainsi que de nombreuses autres ! Nous sommes reconnaissants pour les moments incroyables et les souvenirs que nous y avons vécus.
Cette plage est un véritable enchantement, et je me trouve épris de chaque aspect qui la compose. L'absence de foule est un souffle d'air frais, et l'eau est tout simplement divine. C'est un soulagement de savoir que le stationnement est à la fois abordable et abondant, rendant l'expérience entière exempte de stress. J'adore le fait que les cabanas soient offertes gracieusement, et que les vestiaires et les salles de bains soient maintenus dans un état immaculé. En somme, cette plage est une véritable perle.
We have been frequent guests at the Blue Dolphin for many years and it remains my preferred choice in Sanibel. If you enjoy a relaxed atmosphere and the traditional Florida style, you will absolutely adore it. It's the closest accommodation to the beach, allowing you to step out of your room and be just a few feet away from the ocean. The location offers more privacy as it is surrounded by privately owned houses, unlike the busier end of the beach with numerous hotels and condos. The manager, Charlene, is fantastic! She is incredibly friendly and helpful, ensuring that you have everything you need for a perfect stay. Hopefully, this place will continue to maintain its charm for years to come!
