Wonderful location and comfortable condo
by David
Sanibel is such a wonderful place to relax and this complex puts you on one of the best stretches of beach, while allowing you to walk or bike to nearby trails, shops, restaurants and grocery. We rented bikes for the week and even biked up to Captiva one day! Simple but clean accommodations make this an easy recommendation.

Wonderful Holiday Week
by Mary
Our 3 generation family group enjoyed this Sanibel condo! We found lots to explore and do all week; the pool was an especially popular spot for the preschoolers. We were comfortable in the unit but did experience a couple problems with HVAC controls and TV functions. Both were handled easily & promptly by text (after business hours) with Cottages to Castles management. All in all: Super!

Perfect location, nice view & love the pool! Great for all ages.
by Jessica
We really enjoyed our stay in Sanibel and at this Tarpon Beach unit! This was our 2nd time visiting Sanibel, and we chose to stay at Tarpon Beach again (but in a different unit) because we love the location, proximity to the beach and pool. We love how this complex is small because the pool is never crowded and the grounds feel private even when many tourists are in town. We stayed on the top floor last time which had an amazing view, and even this lower-level unit had a great view of the ocean. We enjoyed many breakfasts and dinners on the screened-in porch thanks to the view! Tarpon Beach worked well for us when we previously visited as a family of three, and it was also great this time when we came back as a family of five. We were happy this unit had the necessary basics for the beach – towels, beach chairs, Tupperware and a cooler. The unit feels very spacious and comfortable, and having a washer/dryer was key for a beach trip with young kids. My constructive feedback for the unit owner is to please get more hooks for the bathrooms and possibly the screened-in porch. A few hooks would go a long way. ???? We booked through VRBO but Cottages to Castles managed the stay. They were incredibly accommodating from beginning to end. Our key broke in the lock, and they had a locksmith come out and fix the issue within 25 minutes or less. We were really impressed with all the rental companies, including Billy’s Bikes and the tent/sand toy company. It was so helpful to have everything delivered and picked up from the complex. The companies made the trip hassle-free from start to finish. We love Sanibel and will definitely come back again! We highly recommend Tarpon Beach.

Great Place!
by John
This is a great place to spend a week! Sanibel offers plenty of condo options, but Tarpon Bay is very quiet, convenient and central to all activities. The condo unit was very clean, well-equipped and well furnished. The master bed was extremely comfortable! Highly recommended!

Great condo with amazing location on the beach
by Jane
We had a great time staying at this condo on the beach. The location is amazing with easy access to the beach and bike paths. It is a short bike ride to the grocery stores and restaurants. The pool was never very busy and the general community at this location were very kind and welcoming. A great place to stay on Sanibel Island! Can’t wait to return.

Wonderful Stay
by Susan
We rented from December 26th to January 2nd. Our property was clean and updated. I would not change a thing. The pool was heated and the shelling was awesome. Cottages to Castles was so easy to work with.

Covid Vacation
by Pamela
Tarpon Bay was ideal for a vacation as we could go to a not crowded beach and do pool time when it was empty or had 1-3 other people. With 3 kids it was ideal for bike riding, getting to Bailey’s for groceries, the ice cream store, and best of all Gene’s 2 bookstores. We will definitely be back.

Best Vacation
by Cape Elizabeth, Maine
We have only been here 2 days so far and already feels like its been the best vacation our family has ever had. Love the condo and heated pool, morning and evening strolls along the beach. We already have a whole shell collection and can’t wait to get more these coming days. Time has come for us-after a full week sun and fun. It truly was a great week for all of us. The kids enjoyed the pool and ocean waves as well as the bike rides to Captiva. We saw so many great things along the way, but I think dessert at the Bubble Room was BEST! Thank you so very much for having us stay at your hoe, we had a blast. We’ll be back as soon as we can.
