“Old Florida Charm”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 June 2013 NEW

We stayed in one of the cottages-rustic feeling with all the modern amenities ie kitchen, nice baths & beds, flat screen TVs with cable. Loved it! The staff here are very eager to make your stay memorable and were very friendly. This is a perfect place to chill-out & beach it, read on the porch or linger in the pool.... More

Have nothing but good things to say about the Island Inn. The staff is very friendly, the rooms are clean and comfy, the views are fantastic, and they provide anything you need for free or for a small fee. We haven't tried the restaurant, but everything else about the place is great. Was concerned considering the age, but everything from... More

Thank you for staying at the Island Inn and writing a review of your experience. I’m glad our “old Florida”, low density, beachfront property combined with our updated accommodations and amenities were a good fit to your needs and expectations.
