We absolutely loved our stay here. We only stayed 2 nights, and now we are in Clearwater beach for 2 nights and wished we just stayed in Sanibel for 4 instead. LOL. We totally love the quiet relaxed atmosphere at Colony Inn and surrounding area. Our room was nicely decorated with a peaceful ocean vibe. Everything we needed was right there. Excellent beach access. Wickies was a most excellent restaurant within walking distance. There is also ice cream in the same plaza, and bagels and coffee across the street from Wickies. This is totally our scene. As a retired couple, we are done with the party scenes, and just want peace and quiet and beautiful ocean scenery, and of course, SHELLS. Also, the reception staff was friendly and helpful. We also were given the use of beach chairs and an umbrella, which we really appreciated.We loved it more than we anticipated, and hope to be back many more times.Thank you for providing us with such a wonderful stay.With gratitude, Marc & Mary
