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! ##### Matthew Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Diana May 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful view.

It doesn't have a gym, there's no restaurant, they don't have a pool. Nothing to do in that hotel ##### Monica Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James Jan 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication Given the recent devastation caused by hurricanes to Sanibel Island, the Island Inn has bounced back remarkably. Good people and good accommodations. We definitely enjoyed our stay and plan on doing so again. ##### James Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan Nov 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Perfect place to stay for your beach trip!

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).. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/df9e8a68-46a8-4e6a-ae3b-7908dbacd897-1758121820367.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Robert Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Shorewalk Vacation Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Sarasota-Hotels-Shorewalk-Vacation-Villas.h13316.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Palm-Beach.h20271.Hotel-Information) > > [Margaritaville Beach House Key West](https://www.expedia.ca/Key-West-Hotels-Margaritaville-Beach-House-Key-West.h48713884.Hotel-Information) > > [Palm Beach Marriott Singer Island Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Singer-Island-Hotels-Palm-Beach-Marriott-Singer-Island-Beach-Resort-Spa.h449170.Hotel-Information) > > [The Breakers Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-Hotels-The-Breakers-Palm-Beach.h8479.Hotel-Information) > > [Beachside Hotel & Suites Cocoa Beach - Port Canaveral](https://www.expedia.ca/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-Beachside-Hotel-Suites.h4995.Hotel-Information) > > [The Colony Hotel Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-Hotels-Colony-Hotel-Palm-Beach.h8074.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Cocoa Beach Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.ca/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Cocoa-Beach-Oceanfront.h4398.Hotel-Information) > > [Solterra Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Solterra-Resort.h18526478.Hotel-Information) > > [Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Port Canaveral, FL](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Canaveral-Hotels-Country-Inn-Suites-By-Radisson.h1489240.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information) > > [Ocean Walk Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Daytona-Beach-Hotels-Club-Wyndham-Ocean-Walk.h598390.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Cocoa Beach Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.ca/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Cocoa-Beach-Oceanfront.h894002.Hotel-Information) > > [Edgewater Beach and Golf Resort by Southern Vacation Rentals](https://www.expedia.ca/Panama-City-Hotels-Edgewater-Beach-And-Golf-Resort-By-Resort-Collection.h803238.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Cocoa Beach - Port Canaveral](https://www.expedia.ca/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-Best-Western-Cocoa-Beach-Hotel-Suites.h18029.Hotel-Information) > > [PGA National Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-Gardens-Hotels-PGA-National-Resort-And-Spa.h10355.Hotel-Information) > > [Tranquility Bay Beachfront Hotel and Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Marathon-Hotels-Tranquility-Bay-Beachfront-Hotel-And-Resort.h117099.Hotel-Information) > > [Windsor Island Luxury | Home in Windsor Island Resort, Private Pool, Arcade](https://www.expedia.ca/Davenport-Hotels-Windsor-Island-Luxury-NEW-Home-In-Windsor-Island-Resort.h60809096.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Naples-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Coconut-Point-Resort-Spa.h792025.Hotel-Information) > > [Days Inn by Wyndham Cocoa Beach Port Canaveral](https://www.expedia.ca/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Cocoa-Beach-Port-Canaveral.h15605.Hotel-Information) > > [Baker's Cay Resort Key Largo, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Key-Largo-Hotels-Bakers-Cay-Resort-Key-Largo.h14042.Hotel-Information) > > [The Resort at Longboat Key Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Sarasota-Hotels-The-Resort-At-Longboat-Key-Club.h27542.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Resort at the Port](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Canaveral-Hotels-Radisson-Resort-At-The-Port.h4692.Hotel-Information) > > [Fiesta Key RV Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Long-Key-Hotels-Fiesta-Key-RV-Resort.h4578886.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahama House](https://www.expedia.ca/Daytona-Beach-Hotels-Bahama-House.h893658.Hotel-Information) > > [Vacation Village at Weston, Fort Lauderdale](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Vacation-Village-At-Weston.h1062880.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Vacation Club at Beach House, Key West](https://www.expedia.ca/Key-West-Hotels-Hyatt-Vacation-Club-At-Beach-House.h857962.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Grand Vacations Club in Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Miramar-Beach-Hotels-Embarc-Sandestin.h1054729.Hotel-Information) > > [Pink Shell Beach Resort and Marina](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Myers-Hotels-Pink-Shell-Beach-Resort-And-Marina.h15603.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Cocoa Beach Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.ca/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-Hilton-Cocoa-Beach-Oceanfront.h12537.Hotel-Information)
