Unit was perfect for our large group. Was a little disappointed that the primary beach access was still under construction.

Perfect Sanibel Stay
Signal Inn continues to be our family's perfect place to stay. We have stayed in 17 twice and this time we were in 13. We could not have asked for either to be better. Everything was exceptionally clean and everything we needed was there. The kitchen was well equipped and so were the bathrooms. Our family will continue to stay at Signal Inn each year when we come seeking quiet family time and the perfect shell each year. I would highly recommend Signal Inn. They get five stars!
It was great place and beautiful background also nice neighbors and management kept checkup

Wonderful Family Vacation
Condo was large and great. Pool was perfect. Plenty of carts available to take chairs and tents to the beach. Peaceful and clean. Highly recommend.
The wrap around porch was delightful. The pool was the main entertainment for the kids. The beach was beautiful and peaceful, uncrowded, and fun for the sand. Unfortunately we hit it at a time the bugs invaded and the pool was a safe retreat for the kids!

Hi there! Thank you for stopping in at Signal Inn Unit 13! Thank you so much for sharing your experience and for the 10/10 score rating!! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the wrap-around porch and that the pool became such a fun gathering spot for the kids. It’s wonderful that you were able to soak up the beauty of the beach as well — even if those pesky seasonal bugs tried to steal the spotlight. We’re glad the pool offered a perfect retreat!
We truly appreciate you choosing to stay with us and hope to welcome you back for an even more perfect, bug-free getaway next time!
Area and property were as detailed and had no issues. Beach is a short stroll and was pleasant. Only issue were the no see ems, those little guys were brutal. Would stay again in the future.

Hi there! Thank you for stopping in at Signal Inn Unit 13! Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re glad to hear the property and area met your expectations and that you enjoyed the short stroll to the beach. We completely understand about the no-see-ums — they can be a challenge in our coastal area — but we’re happy it didn’t take away from your overall experience. It’s wonderful to know you’d stay with us again, and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future!
Great place for families with kids! The shared pool is lovely and the walk to the beach is quick and easy. We especially enjoyed the wraparound lanai with a view of the pool, and the beach chairs included with the house. We really appreciated the updated interior, although there were some issues with wiring as there were several power outlets that did not work or were loose. If you are looking for a quiet/peaceful stay this would probably not be my first choice (lots of kids around being noisy and having a great time!), but it was just what we were looking for and we had a wonderful stay! Thanks so much for hosting us!

Hi there! Thank you for stopping in at Signal Inn Unit 13! Thank you so much for your thoughtful, detailed review, and the 10/10 score rating. We’re delighted to hear you and your family had such a wonderful stay and were able to enjoy the pool, easy beach access, and the wraparound lanai—it sounds like a perfect setup for a fun family getaway. We’re also glad you appreciated the updated interior and included amenities like the beach chairs. We truly appreciate you bringing the outlet issues to our attention, and we apologize for the inconvenience. We will have our team look into this to ensure everything is in proper working order. Thank you as well for your honest note about the lively, family-friendly atmosphere—we’re glad it was exactly what you were looking for. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we would love to welcome you back again for another stay.
We had a wonderful family stay! Loved the location that was convenient to shopping and restaurants. The host was friendly and helpful, and the facility was as described. We appreciated the beach towels for each person, and all the chairs and beach toys. The only negative were the no-see-um bugs, and the slow to no cell service and internet. We realize there are some things the host cannot control. Inspite of that we still had a great stay and would recommend Signal Inn facilities. The kids are ready to come back.

Hi there! Thank you for stopping in at Signal Inn Unit 13! Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review! We’re thrilled to hear that you had a wonderful family stay and that you enjoyed the convenient location close to shopping and restaurants.
It’s great to know that you found the facility to be exactly as described and that the beach towels, chairs, and beach toys added to your family’s enjoyment — we’re especially happy to hear the kids made good use of them! Thank you as well for your kind words about our team being friendly and helpful.
We appreciate your understanding regarding the no-see-um bugs and the limited cell service and internet, which can be part of island living and are unfortunately outside of our direct control. We’re glad that, despite these challenges, you still had a great stay and felt comfortable recommending Signal Inn.
Thank you again for choosing to stay with us. We’d absolutely love to welcome your family back — and we’re delighted to hear the kids are already ready to return!
