This motel is right on the beach. The property is well maintained, clean and convenient to all that is on Sanibel Island. We have visited Sunset Beach off and on for about 25 years, ans it is consistently excellent for anyone wanting a quiet time at one of the best beaches in the USA. . . especially if you love shelling!

Reserved a king bed. We were given a room with 2 queens after complaining we were given a king. There was NO internet service during our stay. First told that lightening had hit the antenna then a bird flew into the receiver... At checkout the staff could NOT print a receipt nor even tell me the total charge. 3 days later still no receipt in our e-mail. That being said we had an enjoyable stay. Short walk to the beach. Enjoyed the pool. Would have appreciated more information about things to do on the island.

Perfect location
Beautiful location with private beach and pool. Staff was welcoming and friendly. Our room had ocean view and could see the sunrise and the beach was perfect for sunsets and shelling. Rooms could use some updating and room renovations were underway. Overall, comfortable and clean. Daily free breakfasts had a variety of options to choose from including non- dairy milks and healthier options.

We stayed 4 days and 3 nights yes the place is run down needs improvements i can deal with that....i cant deal with a/c not working properly warm in room the entire stay told front desk maintenance came said it was fine. We slept on top of the covers in just t shirts it was warm in room, rust in fridge, housekeeping was great with service and towels ready. Even after multiple complaints about a/c nothing was done beds weren't the greatest either. I always come back to sanibel every year for the last 4 years stay somewhere different every time i dont recommend this place.

We’ve stayed at all 3 sanibel inn sister hotels (sanibel inn, song of the sea, sunset beach) loved all of them but sunset beach inn but nice and quiet and a little more private. Rooms were clean and cozy. Located right on the beach! Beautiful view of the ocean. Pool was big and always perfect temp. Maids were AMAZING— they literally did our dishes one day during normal housekeeping. Breakfast was simple grab n go stuff like pastries and cereal. Rode bikes several nights and even saw a wild gator. It was a great baby moon!

Great Place Right on the Beach
Our room had a partial gulf view and was extremely clean and spacious. We did have an issue with the A/C and Enoc, at the front desk, had it immediately repaired. Both Enoc and Anvar were super friendly and efficient and took care of our every need to have a pleasant stay. We will be back.

Location was very good. The only issue was with the AC in one room it was set at 60 and was still blowing warmer than the unit in the living room. The front was very attentive and sent a repair person. He showed up when we were not there and told one of my kids "It is a new unit, and is working as expected" then left. The unit ABSOLUTELY was not new! The front desk people gabe us 2 fans for the room for our last night there. They helpwd some.
