Great location, just a short walk to beautiful beach. The available beach chairs need a little work, most were rusty or didn’t work right. Other than the building swaying when anyone walked around the stay was great, and we got used to that fairly quickly (we’ve never stayed in a building on piers.) Everything we needed was there. Would definitely stay again.

Great, quiet, and private location. Beautifully landscaped. Unit was spotless and came equipped with everything needed for a stay. Only downside was the living room sofa. It could use an upgrade. It was worn and stained.

Basic and a little worn around the edges are good descriptors for this property. The highlight would have to be the proximity to a fairly quiet beach.

Annual trip was great

We have stayed at Signal Inn many times. It is amazing how well it has bounced back after Ian. The pool was back in pristine condition which was way better than last years stay. The only disappointment was not having a bath tub in the only shower unit. We will be returning again to our favorite place to stay on the island.

Great place to stay! My only disappointment was the bed, very uncomfortable! Would be a five star review if me and my wife could have gotten a good nights rest.

Perfect weekend getaway

It was amazing to be able to stay on the island once again. The hard work everyone has put in after Ian is awe inspiring and heart warming. We loved our stay and look forward to return time and time again. We love sanibel and the ease of the signal inn was wonderful from start to finish. Already planning our next trip! Clean, comfortable and loved the beach access for morning walks and sunsets. It was perfect. Thank you for such a great trip experience.

Signals is perfect

Only had time for a quick stop on Sanibel this time, and was fortunate to find availability at Signals Resort! First time I've stayed there, and will definitely be back. Loved the natural feel of the units, like staying in a treehouse amongst the sea grapes. They are pet friendly, and Finn loved the walks on the beach (spacious and never crowded) just a short boardwalk hike away. Everything we needed and loved the layout of our unit. Thanks!
