Island Inn at Sanibel Island

Really loved this place. Right on the water, about 75 feet from back porch to ocean. Private and peaceful, everything a weekend getaway should be like. Will definitely be returning.
Ulysses, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful stay

This is one of the absolutely best places on Sanibel to stay. Even post hurricaine x 2, the accomodations are extremely clean and well managed. Shelling and beach access here, was amazing!!
Katina, 2-night trip

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

My new favorite place in the world!

The Hotel was exactly what I WANTED, easy to get to the beach (very few people there), Chairs and umbrellas in place on the beach, able to see the beach from my balcony, great shelling! We will be back, cannot say enough great things!
Julie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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 property/room was exceptional! Very nicely decorated, good amount of supplies, designated parking, just a short walk to the beach. After Hurricane Ian this place was one of the first to reopen. It is Amazing!! Loved it and will be back again!

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Great beach getaway

Upon arrival we were treated like friends. The staff was the epitome of friendliness. The room was spacious as well as comfortable. The view was incomparable
Anthony, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Jorge, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff took time to get to know everyone. I felt like they went out of their way to do so. We loved it there and plan on going back soon. By far one of my best vacation spots ever.
jeremy michael, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Dean, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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***

I think the Inn should forewarn customers of the lack of elevators. I did fine, but not everyone would be able to handle the stairs.
Debbie, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Katie, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Love how quiet and private the beach is here. Nothing flashy here. Just the beach and a decent room. Close to Jerrys grocery and Doc Fords. What more could you ask for. Staff is friendly and rooms are nice overall. Only complaints was the AC not working which we did not realize until later when we got back from dinner. Too late to really get anything done about it. The furniture in this room was little dirty. Could use a steam cleaning. We will come back because overall it is what we are looking for. Beachfront. Remember that this area has a lot of damage still unattended to from the hurricane. Keep that in mind. A lot of fenced in construction type scenery.
Edward, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The Inn was a nice place. However be careful what web site you make your reservations with. They tell you there is a pool, complimentary breakfast. These are no more. After the hurricanes the pool is gone as well as then doing a breakfast for there customers. Rooms were spacious but it does come with a price.

Amazing hotel in Sanibel

Third time staying in Sanibel. This hotel (or Inn) is amazing. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The room is amazing. Huge space, nice kitchen and supplies, balcony with a lot of chairs and table to sit and relax. King size bed was great and bathroom has 2 sinks - identical as photos. They offer 1 covered parking spot (in the summer or raining season, this make a difference). The Inn is right at the beach, in a private and nice place at Sanibel - away from the public beach area. My wife loved shelling in peace and found several shells to her collection. They offer chairs/umbrella at no cost. And bikes for rentals. Cleaning staff was great and service everyday.
Artur H, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Probably not fair to rate an area that is still recovering from recent hurricane damage that ravaged Sanibel Island. The room seemed more of a one-bedroom condo you would rent on the beach for a few days to a week. If that is your goal, a great spot. Otherwise, for anyone passing through, I think it misses the mark. That is what we were doing.
Chris, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed in a room with an absolutely breathtaking view, the perfect way to start and end each day with the sound of the ocean. The front desk service at check-in and check-out was fantastic – friendly, welcoming, and efficient. The beach is spectacular – peaceful, clean, and ideal for relaxing or shelling. Everything at the hotel is well cared for and thoughtfully maintained. It was a wonderful experience and we will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended for anyone looking for peace, nature, and exceptional hospitality!
Natalia, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Island Inn is far beyond our expectations. Check in with Ken was awesome. Its more than a room irs an apartment with full kitchen, screened balcony overlooking the Gulf of America. One of the best places on Sanibel for sea shell hunting. Clean, nice furnishings.
Ronald, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The best part of this is having private beach access and our room right there in walking distance. The staff was amazing! Special thank you to Glory, John and Ken + the housekeeping staff! Always so kind and welcoming. Will definitely be back in the near future!
