If you're looking for a hotel with a fantastic beachfront location, Sanibel Inn is the perfect pick! The property sits right on the sand with some reviewers stating they had "les pieds dans l'eau" (feet in the water) and "en bord de plage" (on the edge of the beach). The beach is also described as "magnificent" and "beautiful." Some lucky guests even "reserved a room on the second floor of a beachfront building" that "looks right over the beach." It's worth noting that not all rooms may have a prime view of the beach with some facing "the front of another one of the buildings and a parking lot" - so be sure to request a beachfront room if that's what you're after. But for those lucky enough to secure a room with a view, it's clear that the location and beach front are definite highlights. One review sums it up succinctly: "Right on the beach!"
