Most unique, peaceful, and beautiful stay! By far the most peaceful stay I’ve had in years! Sanibel got hit by a bad hurricane two years ago and I used to come as a child with my parents and the experience at Sanibel Island inn is superior! Ken the front desk manager is by far the most knowledgeable and experienced person I’ve met and knows the area very well! For a wonderful beach experience with amazing shelling and amazing dining come to Sanibel and stay at the island inn! read more
Who knew? We have lived in Florida long enough to know what hurricanes can do. But we had no idea how devastating Ian was to Sanibel. Our favorite store, Baileys? Gone. Lots of other stores and restaurants not open. It was a shock to see all the condo complexes along Gulf Drive all undergoing reconstruction, or in some places, gone. But the Island Inn? Makes you forget all that. Great staff, very comfortable rooms in the Matthews building, with full kitchen and wonderful balcony overlooking the Gulf. What more do you need? The beach remains what it has always been, one of the best in Florida, with absolutely amazing shells. And with some many fewer people staying on the island, more shells for the rest of us. No pool, no restaurant at the Inn? No problem. A wonderful stay, very relaxing, and so difficult to leave. An oasis of relaxation in a stress filled world, the Island Inn continues to provide the best as it has for years. Now, if they could get a pool rebuilt read more
Sanibel Dreams My husband and I spent a week at the Island Inn to celebrate our 10th anniversary. We stayed in the Starkey Lodge and loved it. The room had everything we needed and a beautiful beach view with a screened in porch. The staff had left us towel swans with champagne glasses and a lovely note thanking us for spending our anniversary there. And there was a bottle of champagne in the fridge! What a nice surprise. The staff was so nice and accommodating. The beach was full of shells which made my shell seeker self very happy. We can't wait to go back maybe for our 15th! read more
