Really nice, updated, and clean room with a screened waterfront balcony in a perfect place on the island (far enough away from the big resorts to be in a quieter area, but close enough to the center area of the island to be convenient).

We have a planned a day trip to Sanibel Island for a trade show on Friday in Orlando. However, we decided to extend our stay and find a hotel to stay overnight. We would then return to Orlando on Sunday and drive back to Southern California on Monday. The hotel we chose was very pleasant, clean, and well-equipped with kitchen supplies. It also had a collection of seashells. The best time to visiting is June or July when the waters is clear and warmer.

We had an incredible stay at the Island Inn for our anniversary, and we can’t say enough about how wonderful this place is. Ken and the entire staff went above and beyond to make our trip truly special, and their kindness and attention to detail made us feel right at home. The rooms were very comfortable with breathtaking beach views, and the hotel provided so many thoughtful free amenities—like beach chairs and umbrellas—that made our days by the ocean even better. The screened porch was perfect for relaxing (citronella candles from the store were a lifesaver for the no-see-ums), and we loved how welcoming and friendly everyone was throughout our stay. Even with parts of the property still being rebuilt, the Island Inn already feels like a slice of paradise. We can’t wait to see it fully restored and will definitely be making all of our future Sanibel stays here. Highly recommend this gem to anyone visiting the island!

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.

The place is clean and nice , but the price is too high for what the hotel offers. It doesn't have a gym, there's no restaurant, they don't have a pool. Nothing to do in that hotel

Sanibel is a beautiful, tropical island. We woke to a gorgeous sunrise, steps away from the seashell beaches of the gulf side of the island, had delicious meals and ended our day watching a magnificent sunset. Our accommodations at the Sanibel Inn were perfect as was the reception we received upon arrival & throughout our stay.

Sanibel is still in recovery following Hurricane Ian in 2022, but there is movement on the island and we were happy to return this summer. The Island Inn was one of the commercial properties that sustained significant damage but they managed to reopen in a limited capacity, and we're glad they did. It was our first time staying there and we would definitely return as their recovery and rebuilding continues.

Overall, this was a great property. Good amenities and accommodations. Disappointed to find on arrival that the restaurant and bar was not open even though the resort was full. As we were only staying for two nights, we had planned to not leave the property.

Fantastic place to stay! We arrived early but no problem to let us have the room as they had finished cleaning. Beautiful room, all the things you need in a well equipped and immaculate kitchen. Brilliant beds, air-con and a view to die for of the beach. Really quiet and very safe as the beach is for residents only. Loads of beach beds, shades, canoe’s, swimming pool with showers. Didn’t use the restaurant but would imagine it will be good. Definitely will come again! A***

This property is oceanfront with direct access to the beach from the lanai. There was a large screened lanai with chairs and a table. Everything was clean and the staff was very helpful. There was daily cleaning but, we decided not to use it because it was raining and we were stuck inside. When I went outside there were a bag of fresh towels at the door. I didn’t even ask for them. I would recommend this property.

Room was clean . Staff was amazing . Only downside - can’t book a specific room . We wanted first floor and we were told rooms can’t be requested . Manager was kind enough to give us first floor the next day and the rest of our stay was amazing . Would not rebook with them again though because we can’t be guaranteed the first floor even though we loved it !
