We rented three units in November to celebrate our anniversary with our family. We were only staying four nights and the Sanibel Inn provided the flexibility we needed in terms of length of stay and types of units offered. We had a two bedroom condo for a family of four. It was well equipped with a full kitchen and washer/dryer.... More

Spent 6 days at the Island Inn and it was a very pleasant experience. The accommodations are not upscale but very nice, clean and comfortable. Bathroom was new and bed was excellent. Housekeeping very good. The property is very well laid out and very well maintained. Nice views from everywhere to the water and a beautiful beach on the property... More

We have stayed here several times before and don't think about looking for anywhere else on Sanibel. This time we had a Studio Suite Gulf Side. We really like sitting on patio with great view of beach. The location is perfect: right on one of the great beaches in the world for walking/running/seashell collecting (marred on this trip by lots... More

We just returned from five days at the Sanibel Inn. I was a little leery after booking online due to some of the reviews but we were quite pleased with our two bedroom condo on the third floor of the Bouganvillea building -no complaints other than having to come home. The view of the gulf was spectacular. Furnishings looked a... More

Hotel is right on the beach which is filled with shells. It is clean, well kept, and the rooms are spacious. Check in was a breeze, the people who work there courteous, and the food on the grounds reasonably priced and tasty. The best part, though, is that it is right on the beach which is filled with shells. The... More

I stayed at this hotel a couple years ago and while it may not have been the mode up-to-date hotel, it was OK at that time and the service was great. Because of that great service, I didn't even consider another hotel in Sanibel and booked here again for this trip. When I was checking in, I asked about upgrading... More

Went here as a staycation for birthday. This inn gave us a feeling of being on a resort far away. The rooms are awesome. Pool and grounds with easy beach access, was exactly what we were looking for in a Sanibel island inn. Defiantly looking forward to coming back. More

Property is just beautifully landscaped. Very tropical. No building over 3 stories tall. Palm trees are taller than most of the buildings(true for all of Sanibel Island) Exterior of buildings are in good repair, especially considering the age of the property and the beach location. Pool area, along with the "beach/pool" bar is well maintained also. We had a 1... More
