About Us

The Tarpon Tale Inn is as unique as Sanibel, offering privacy, a natural unspoiled setting, and relaxed hospitality. Our inspired hideaway is located on the quiet east end of the island, a short walk to beaches on both the bay and Gulf sides of the island.

We want it to be easy for you to enjoy all that Sanibel has to offer. We love Sanibel, and want you to as well! Our complementary amenities include:

• Bicycles for adults
• Beach chairs, umbrellas and carts
• Shell collecting gear
• Shell cleaning station
• Relaxing hammocks
• Gas grill
• High speed internet

All our guest rooms have cool tile floors, full baths with showers, and private patios.  For families or larger groups, we offer suites and connecting rooms and some of our rooms include sleeper sofas.  Detailed descriptions and photos are included on the Accommodations page.
