Waterside Inn on the Beach
Hotel Class: Mid-Range
Scene
Colorful, laid-back beachside property
The Waterside comprises a cluster of multi-unit buildings and cottages right by the beach. The reception is located in a lavender house with light teal walls, big windows, a small seating area, and lots of souvenirs and sundries for sale. The buildings and cottages are laid out around a central swimming pool, and many are painted in bright colors. The grounds are full of tall palm trees and leafy shrubs, and are small enough that guests are always within a couple of minutes' walk from the beach. The property is popular with vacationers who seek a quiet beachside holiday.

Beachfront location in a quiet residential neighborhood
The Waterside Inn is located in a quiet residential neighborhood near one or two other hotels. There's very little traffic, and beach crowds are few. It's a 15-minute drive via Sanibel's main drag, Periwinkle Way, to the Sanibel Lighthouse. Fort Myers Beach is a half-hour drive down the Sanibel Causeway, which connects the island to the mainland, and the South Florida International Airport is about a 45-minute drive away.

A variety of rooms, cottages, and condos -- most with kitchens
Units vary from rooms to independent cottages but each is spotlessly clean and very well-maintained. Upper-floor units have great views of the property. All have rose-colored bedspreads, and most have blue-accented walls and a mixture of tile, carpeted, and hardwood floors. Some have decks with chairs. Rooms have free Wi-Fi, coffeemakers, microwaves, and refrigerators. Cottages and condos come with full kitchens. Bathrooms have shower/tub combos, single sinks, medicine cabinets, and basic toiletries. The Honeymoon Cottage includes a fireplace and whirlpool tub. Dried and artificial floral arrangements look fussy and dated.
