Castaways Beach and Bay Cottages

The Castaways Beach and Bay Cottages offer comfortable accommodations in the heart of Sanibel Island. The resort is close to all of Sanibel's best attractions including the Sanibel Lighthouse at Old Town, the Shelling at Blind Pass, the Ding Darling Wildlife Refuge and C.R.O.W. The Clinic for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife, or C.R.O.W., began in 1968 and rescues and rehabilitates sick, injured and orphaned wildlife. Guided tours are offered Monday through Friday at 11 am. Guests can also enjoy the sunsets at the resort and the moment known as the green flash. At the moment the sun disappears below the horizon, it creates a flash of green that illuminates the sun. Castaways offers access to The Spa at Tween Waters Inn, just two miles away. Guests enjoy traditional spa services, as well as an exotic mango coconut manicure, couples' massages and the Florida grapefruit treatment. The resort is a popular destination for weddings and offers a complete wedding package for up to 20 guests for $750. Couples recite their vows on the sand by the ocean and enjoy a beachside reception. The resort provides a list of bakers, florists and photographers for those who need more information for their wedding. The Castaways is a pet-friendly establishment and welcomes birds, dogs and cats. There is a special area for dog walking and all pets must be leashed or caged at all times.
