Beautiful Waterfront Location
We enjoyed our stay at Whispering Palms. It was comfortable, very nicely decorated and quiet. Would've appreciated some local tv programming but did have access to many streaming programs. Property Manager was very helpful

It was just so easy!
This property has everything going for it. The location is nice—just off the causeway as you come onto the island—and near lots of restaurants and other niceties. The only nit is clean, well-maintained, with everything you could ever want or need. The owners reply promptly and are very professional. I’d stay here again, in a heartbeat.

Causeway condo
The bikes are a nice touch but they need a tune up. The pedal broke on one at day three. We rented one from Billy's to replace it. It's very quiet at this site. The pool was clean but too cold.

Time in the sun
Property was as advertised, and well appointed. Access to bikes and beach chairs was a big plus. Beds comfortable. Access to Sanibel was good, but with recovery still ongoing, traffic can be an issue.

Sanibel vacation
Our family stayed at Whispering Palms over the recent holidays. The unit is great - very tastefully appointed - all the amenities our family of four needed. The property management team is exceptional! Some of the best we've ever dealt with - incredibly friendly, attentive, and helpful. It's great to see the ongoing Sanibel recovery. We're looking forward to more visits in the near future. We highly recommend Whispering Palms.

Cute place right on the canal
We were very pleased with our accommodations. It was logistically perfect with the contractors coming and leaving the island week days. We never had to deal with their traffic. Our first day we had an issue with one of the bikes at the unit and it was resolved instantly. Very grateful. PS, loved the Tahari towels. Wish we could find some. Thank you.
