This small hotel is the perfect escape for anyone looking for peace and privacy. Tucked right on the beach, it offers stunning ocean views, quiet surroundings, and a truly relaxing atmosphere. The staff is warm and welcoming, and everything is spotless and well-maintained. It feels like your own private paradise—highly recommend for couples or anyone wanting to unplug and unwind!

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

The room had everything we needed - sitting area, kitchen, nice bathroom, and, most importantly, direct access from the balcony down stairs onto the beach. It was great. We really enjoyed the space and view. And the staff are so friendly!

Gulf front property with covered parking. Immaculately clean with beautiful decor. Lovely screened in porch with a sink/counter to wash your seashells or other use that you might have. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable about area dining options. We didn’t take advantage of all amenities but there are many.

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.

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.

The Island In property and grounds were beautiful, clean and in excellent condition. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the area. We were given a welcome packet when we checked in, it had lots of useful information - even a high and low tide chart. We would definitely recommend Island Inn.
