The sound in the TV in the living room was NOT GOOD. We reported it to the office; nothing was done. Don't know if it's the TV itself or what, but all 4 of us in the unit had a hard time understanding what was said on it.

While there is still recovery construction happening during the day, we had a wonderful stay at Sanibel Moorings. The swimming pool and beach were fabulous. Our second floor unit was partly renovated with new furniture and of course the location near the causeway and lighthouse is perfect!

I love Sanibel - it's my happy place, and while I was so glad to be back for the first time since Ian, and I can appreciate that Sanibel Moorings is still a work in progress, I was disappointed with the unit we rented and the customer service we recieved while we were there. The carpets were stained, which I can overlook. The furniture was stained, which was just plain gross. We didn't even want to sit on it. The couch, especially, looked like it had urine or vomit stains and even the dining room chairs were gross. The absence of beach umbrellas was a big inconvenience. I would put that at the top of the list of amenities to get going again asap. The fold up beach chairs were great, we actually preferred them to the old ones. But there were 2 adults and 3 kids in our party and two chairs per unit was inadequate and we were forced to rent expensive ones so we could each have one. If amenities like these aren't available, a discount should be given. And the last issue with our stay was the way we were treated by the staff. Andi & Bill were just plain grumpy & rude. No smiles when checking in, short with me when I asked about towels, and just made us feel like were weren't even wanted. Until things improve, I would not recommend The Moorings to anyone.

The beach is beautiful, although the beach furniture is 2 chairs (non-reclining) and no umbrellas are provided as prior to the hurricane. The property itself is still a construction zone, lots of trucks, deliveries, and activity. Guests in the second floor units, construction in the first floor units. Our unit was outdated and some of the furnishings were not in good shape. Mattress was uncomfortable, upholstery was stained, not clean. Landscaping is very sparse, you will be looking at a lot of mulch and not much in the way of grass/plants. It is going to take a long time to restore the grounds. The staff is as helpful as always! Many of the restaurants have re-opened and are not busy (in April) - try Wickies near the lighthouse beach. Internet access is through Starlink, you may need to re-start frequently but otherwise OK. Our unit had cable TV. You can enjoy your stay there, but it best to know in advance that you won't have the Sanibel Moorings experience you had pre-Hurricane Ian. I would have preferred to know PRIOR to booking more about the actual conditions.

We have stayed at this resort a few times, and every time it’s even more memorable. The rooms are very comfortable. It’s a combination of a beautiful beach and a majestic garden. Oh and don’t forget the pools! Packs some cute outfits for some incredible photos. And feel free to bring some meats as they have an excellent grill area.

Nice condo. Clean, good location, close to both beach and canal for docking boat, beautiful grounds. Was allowed to bring our dog. Would definitely return.

as we have come to expect another wonderful stay with Sanibel Moorings. I thought the food truck / pizza was a nice added touch. Grand kids love it there too

Loved it. We had a great time. Good place for kids, but plenty of space to be away from kids. We stayed in 1032, did a marine biology walk, got bikes to get around the island, went to the book stores, Lighthouse Cafe, Dante's, Gramma Dots, Island Cow, The Ding Darling, lighthouse, and fishing on the canal.

Thoroughly enjoyed our week at Sanibel Moorings. We love the garden setting and location. Our unit, 1032, was clean, comfortable and attractive (perhaps recently updated?). Everything worked. Great amenities - gardens, tennis/pickleball, complimentary beach chairs and umbrellas. Staff was friendly,
efficient. On the way out we reserved for next year.

Great condo, wonderful location, clean and comfortable
While no gulf view from the condo itself, it is located just steps away from the beach.
Excellent accommodations.

Awesome place to stay on Sanibel. One minute walk to the beach, a few minutes drive to many good restaurants. Beautiful grounds full of tropical plants. Room was very comfortable and well equipped. Mattress could use an upgrade but was ok.
