Return to Paradise We have stayed at the Island Inn many times. However, this was our first stay since the hurricanes hit Sanibel. The rooms in Matthews Lodge were just as great as ever. The beach had a great many more shells. The chairs and umbrellas made sitting on the beach very peaceful and enjoyable. The staff was as friendly and welcoming as ever. While so much has changed, we were glad to support the Island Inn and all the other familiar businesses on Sanibel. It is important to show your loyalty to such a wonderful place and the people who live and work there. We will be back again in the near future!

Restful, Quiet and Just Right! My husband and I stayed for three nights in April and had the BEST time! Our room was clean and well stocked, and the view just couldn't be beat. Ken and his staff were friendly and accommodating, and the best part having a room that was directly on the beach! We sat on the balcony at night and enjoyed the sound of the water, went shelling each morning and found our space at the Inn as a welcome retreat from our very busy lives back home.

Perfect Getaway! The Island Inn is an exquisite getaway on one of the best beaches we have ever been on! Accommodations and staff are top notch and the rooms have everything you could ever need and a few you didn’t know you needed! The shelling was as advertised as well. Just a great place on a great island-we are booking for next year as well!
