Sanibel is still beautiful and still recovering
Signal Inn is in a nice location, quick path to the beach. Really enjoyed the small size of the property and not being in a high rise, it felt more relaxed. The price was very high compared to the value of the unit. With taxes and fees I paid 546/night, yet it was very clear that management didn't want to provide soap, toilet paper, dishwasher detergent and laundry detergent. We received one two-inch bar of soap in the bathroom, with tiny bottle of shampoo, conditioner and shower gel. Enough for one night, definitely not enough for two people for a week. It was made clear that we were expected to buy our own. Nearly every VRBO I've stayed in has provided at least more than one roll of toilet paper. We received two laundry pods for the week, and were asked to wash the towels upon departure. First, if you ask guests to wash towels, don't charge such a big housekeeping fee. There were no typical kitchen items like coffee, sugar, salt & pepper, cooking oil, spices. We had to buy everything. Additionally, there was a dog that barked every morning and every night. The property information binder also mentioned the problem with barking dogs and asked guests not to leave their dogs unattended on the lanai. Oh well. If the property was less expensive (I've stayed at similar type units for 400/night) I would've understood the lack of supplies. The unit was clean but the kitchen and bathroom were original and have not been updated.
