Kona Kai Motel

Awesome stay in Sanibel! This was such a cute, practical, and clean place. The set up is so cute and you really feel like you’re on a tropical vacation. I will definitely be staying here again! Loved everything about it, especially the pool and tables outside with the ring toss game.

We were in the tiki room which is a freestanding building at the back of the complex right on the parking lot. It was nice and very clean, spacious enough inside to walk around with a little area sink and fridge and then also the bathroom and bedroom area. They had so many hooks in this place it was fabulous because that is always something that is lacking. The air conditioner was cool and with the ceiling fan, we were super comfy. Some parking lot noise and a kind of low hum noise in the room once in awhile, but I'd still stay in that room again. A nice big pool with chairs and floats. But in July and with no shade, it was warmer than most bathtubs. Not sure what other amenities they had, the office doesn't open until 10am so either make your own coffee in your room or walk a couple doors down and get it at 7-eleven. Leslie checked us in and was very nice and informative, I only gave 4 stars because I think someone should be on site earlier with ready-made coffee. Kona Kai is walkable to our new favorite restaurant, Mudbugs. But also this is a great location and we rode our bikes all over using the trail. We also enjoyed Lighthouse Cafe and it's a short bike ride from Kona.

This place was truly a diamond in the rough! Such a beautiful, clean, and thoughtfully designed property. You can tell great attention was given to every detail, from the landscaping and grounds to the layout and design of the rooms. It’s also close to everything you may need, which made our stay even better. We will definitely stay here again every time we visit Sanibel!

I stayed at this motel and absolutely loved it. It was very private, it was very peaceful and very well maintained. I would definitely recommend staying here, and I will be returning.
