Nice place peaceful
Jorge F, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The property is a little isolated and awkward to drive into. The view of the beach is beautiful and access is great. The amenities are a little limited.
Laura, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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!
Juliette, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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 Excellent

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!

Beautiful view. Quiet and peaceful. Great shelling. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I liked the screened in balcony. I will definitely come back for a longer stay.
Diana, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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
Monica, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.

10/10 Excellent

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.

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.
