First of May is a great time to go to Sanibel; fewer crowds. Great website and reviews helped us pick this resort and Unit 112. We wanted to wake up each day looking at the ocean and that is exactly what you can do from this unit on the 2nd floor. The condo was well stocked in the kitchen with... More

We have been staying at Sanibel Moorings almost since they opened in the 70s. It is a classic - a comfortable, lovely place to stay. The units we have stayed in (usually 2-bedroom) are well-equipped. Sometimes the furnishings seem a bit tired (they are owner dependant), but if anything is actually wrong, the staff is wonderful about taking care of... More

My wife, 5-year old daughter and I just returned from four nights (May 2-5, 2013) at Sanibel Moorings (unit 411, which had a limited, but still decent, view of the gulf and the footbridge to the beach)--our first time staying at this condo resort--and we will definitely be returning to this tropical paradise! We had an absolutely fabulous time and... More

Sanibel Moorings has been our destination on Sanibel Island for many years. The two bedroom unit that we rented for a week was just great. Spotlessly clean with everything a person could possibly want. The grounds are even better than before (and they were always the best on the island). All the beautiful plantings are clearly marked with a little... More

The 2 Bedroom condos are spacious and comfortable, kitchens are well stocked with all we need . The grounds are tended by a Master Gardener who has transformed... More

This was a fantastic place to stay -- quiet and close to a private beach. We stayed a week, and would love to visit again. The two bedroom condo was just the right size, and we saved quite a bit on restaurant fees by cooking a few meals in the kitchenette.

Stayed here for 5 days in late April. Called to make the reservation in March and the person on the phone couldn't be nicer and more helpful! We arrived after hours on a Sunday night and our key and info was safely waiting for us in the place they said it would be. It felt like we were on a... More

Sanibel Moorings provides condominium apartment accommodations, and, accordingly, a review on this property will be highly influenced by the specific condominium apartment you stayed in. Our unit was a two bedroom, two bathroom unit that was just beautifully and completely renovated and, therefore, a good part of our overall rating of this property is based on that unit. The property... More

My family and I have been coming here for 20+ years. The grounds here are beautiful and well maintained. Easy access to the beach and the wonderful ocean. I love falling asleep to the sound of the waves crashing. The pool can get crowded but it's not unbearable, plus everyone here is very nice. Condos are large and have everything... More
