Gulf front property with covered parking. Immaculately clean with beautiful decor. Lovely screened in porch with a sink/counter to wash your seashells or other use that you might have. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable about area dining options. We didn’t take advantage of all amenities but there are many.

Given the recent devastation caused by hurricanes to Sanibel Island, the Island Inn has bounced back remarkably. Good people and good accommodations. We definitely enjoyed our stay and plan on doing so again.

We absolutely loved our stay. We stayed in the superior suite on the 2nd floor. Beautiful view with stairs to walk right onto the beach. The unit was perfect. Completely stocked kitchen with full size fridge. Beautiful bathroom. They have facilities you can use when you check out and want to hang out a little longer on the beach. Great staff. So close to doc fords and 4 mins to a cvs. Highly recommend. Can’t wait to go back and stay longer.

The Island In property and grounds were beautiful, clean and in excellent condition. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the area. We were given a welcome packet when we checked in, it had lots of useful information - even a high and low tide chart. We would definitely recommend Island Inn.

Check in was very friendly and easy. Our room was just as nice as the pictures. Wonderful walk in shower. Nice living and kitchen area. Beach access was great. Beach chairs and umbrellas out every day. Comfortable bed and plenty of towels. Parking was ground floor directly under our unit. I did like the fact that our truck did not have to sit out in the sun during our stay. They are definitely still dealing with some post Ian issues but are making the best of what they still have. I would not hesitate to stay here again. Was well worth the trip. Wish we could’ve seen it before Ian. Hopefully they can rebuild the buildings they have lost and rehab one of the buildings that suffered damage but is still standing. Can’t wait to go back and see the progress. All in all a wonderful stay.
