“"Old Florida Inn" Charm”

Reviewed 22 May 2013 NEW

Absolutely loved this hotel. This was our first visit to Sanibel, and I have to say that the atmosphere of the island, AND this hotel sealed the deal -- it is now one of our favorites. The hotel looks quaint on the outside -- though the grounds are absolutely beautiful and the beach access is great, the hotel is just... More

“Best shelling beach on the island”

Reviewed 19 May 2013 NEW

This was our first time at the Island Inn, and I'm hoping to come back many times!. Nice clean rooms - not fancy or posh - but everything you need in a wonderful environment. Had the best sleep I've had in months. Don't know if it was the sound of the ocean or just the very comfortable beds. This is... More

“The perfect place to escape and unwind”

Reviewed 18 May 2013 NEW

This is a great place to relax and forget your troubles. The location is excellent, being far enough away from the town center to be quiet, but close enough to be convenient to get too. On arriving into the courtyard everything is bright and well kept. All the staff are very friendly and helpful with any requests that you may... More

This was the 2nd time we stayed at the Island Inn, and it was as good or better than the first time. It almost goes without saying that the beach is good - after all, it is Sanibel Island. The accommodations were very comfortable, very well maintained, and everyone was very friendly and helpful. We even had a close-up and... More
