Blessed Assistance
The staff went above and beyond to help me help my terminally ill sister check off one final item on her bucket list, a comfortable accessible stay in Sanibel. Many thanks for their assistance and compassion.

Colony Inn is BACK!
Our unit seemed almost brand new and was clean, well appointed , comfortable and convenient to everything we always love about Sanibel Island. Bike path, beach, restaurant, ice cream and more were within walking distance. Staff was present and helpful but never in your face. Hurricane Ian was cruel in 2022 and all but destroyed the place but it also let the facility get completely re-invented. Pool seemed small but pretty. We prefer the nearby uncrowded and lovely beach we could easily walk to. We will be back.
