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.

The staff at the Island Inn was wonderful. The communication great! With the location on the beach there was no need to go to any other beach and pay for parking. The room was beautiful and had everything you needed for a great vacation. Will stay here every time we visit Sanibel Island.

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.
