Summary: We stayed at Island Inn on Sanibel Island for 2 nights just before Christmas when it was not so busy. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The room is nice and cozy, with a fully functional kitchen and spacious bathroom We love the beachfront location, very convenient for the family. Free beach chairs, umbrellas, grillsll, and beach toys, you name it! Free parking in designated spaces, one for each unit. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They even offered a tide chart at check-in for you to plan shelling activities, LOL. In my opinion we had the best beach for collectingseashells right in front of the hotel.

Summary: Amazing views from Matthews Lodge!!!! This is my third stay (first time after hurricane Ian) and every time the staff, from the office staff to the maintenance team to the housekeeping team are ALL amazing! Always right there to tend to every need with a smile! I don’t think there is ever a day they would ever not make this place feel like home away from home!! The Island Inn is a must and the island would not feel the same without them! They are working hard to re build the future and sustain the incredible history this Inn has to offer its guests. In fact, if I lived close enough, they make the environment so great I would even want to work there! God Bless!! Dawn H

Summary: The Inn was a nice place. However be careful what web site you make your reservations with. They tell you there is a pool, complimentary breakfast. These are no more. After the hurricanes the pool is gone as well as then doing a breakfast for there customers. Rooms were spacious but it does come with a price.

Summary: I think the Island Inn was a great place to stay if you want to walk out of your room onto a beautiful uncrowded beach that the crowd ls limited to the rooms it has occupied at the resort. Sanibel Island as a whole is still recovering from the devastation that the last hurricane there caused, as is the Island Inn, as they lost somewhere around 12-18 buidlings throughout the property. The room was a lovely efficiency room that included a living room and kitchen area. Rooms are clean and bright and well maintained. You can either stock up on food for your refrigerator and bbq right out on the beach or you can drive a little ways to Captiva Island and find some great restaurants there. We stayed there after a stay in Sarasota which was very busy, so an isolated, quiet beach without music playing and footballs being tossed in front of me was a nice change. Nice place to stay - Make sure you bring lots of strong bug spray for those times when there's no wind as the noseum's (sand gnats) will eat you alive and you won't know it until a few days later when you're home and itching like crazy. That's a "Sanibel" thing (not an Island Inn thing)..

Summary: We had an incredible stay at the Island Inn for our anniversary, and we can’t say enough about how wonderful this place is. Ken and the entire staff went above and beyond to make our trip truly special, and their kindness and attention to detail made us feel right at home. The rooms were very comfortable with breathtaking beach views, and the hotel provided so many thoughtful free amenities—like beach chairs and umbrellas—that made our days by the ocean even better. The screened porch was perfect for relaxing (citronella candles from the store were a lifesaver for the no-see-ums), and we loved how welcoming and friendly everyone was throughout our stay. Even with parts of the property still being rebuilt, the Island Inn already feels like a slice of paradise. We can’t wait to see it fully restored and will definitely be making all of our future Sanibel stays here. Highly recommend this gem to anyone visiting the island!

Summary: As a couple in our 50's, we were looking for something quiet and relaxing which is exactly what we found here. There are no shops, pools, bars, or restaurants within walking distance but the beach was PERFECT! We will definitely return! :)
