We had a wonderful experience celebrating my sister's 50th birthday at Wanna B Inn. The location is stunning and right next to Stump Pass Park, allowing for a peaceful, natural landscape. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. On the downside, the area is quite quiet, which led to a few noise complaints from security, but overall our party enjoyed the stay immensely.

My stay at the WannaB Inn was truly memorable. The beach is just a few steps away, and the views are absolutely stunning, especially during sunset. The staff was friendly and helpful, making our experience relaxing. However, the rooms could use some updates, and Wi-Fi access was a bit spotty at times. Overall, the peaceful ambiance and great location made it well worth the visit.

We had a great time staying at WannaB Inn, right on the beach in Englewood. The view from our balcony in the Sand Dollar room was beautiful, but the unit itself could really use some updating. The location is absolutely amazing, and the beach is just steps away. It's a fantastic place overall, just needs a little TLC to become perfect!

I was really disappointed with my stay at this place. While it's conveniently located near the beach and priced reasonably, the cleanliness and maintenance left much to be desired. The staff seemed disheartened when I reported issues, which added to the frustration. I hope they improve in the future because the location has great potential.

WannaB Inn is in an amazing location right on the beach, and my stay in room 225 had stunning ocean views from the balcony. While the room was cozy and spacious, it definitely needs some updating, and the amenities felt a bit lacking. The service was quick and attentive, but the overall cleanliness could be improved. Still, the natural surroundings make it a great value for a beach getaway.
