We had everything we needed for our trips to Sanibel and Captiva Island. It is really nice having a full-size fridge to store our favorite drinks and snack food in.
Coming back to the hotel after a full day of shelling and exploring the island it is nice being able to grab a cold soda and relax in the room.

There is more than enough space for us to spread out and take a deep breath. There are balconies on many of the rooms but we haven't used them much do to the no-see-um bugs that love South Florida.
