“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

“A great beach vacation”

Reviewed 17 May 2013 NEW

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

Thank you for being such a loyal guest of the Island Inn and for taking the time to write this review. I’m so glad your 2nd experience at the Inn was a pleasant one and you had a close up encounter with our dolphins! I hope your travels home were safe and you are able to visit Sanibel Island again...

“A Perfect Getaway”

Island Inn provides a comfortable and relaxed setting to getaway and enjoy some of the best life has to offer. With the beach footsteps from the rooms you have acess to fun in the sun during the day, beautiful sunsets, and moonlit walks at night. The rooms were pleasantly decorated with a new, fresh, and inviting cottage style. The staff... More

“Slightly disappointing !”

Stayed at kimball ground floor rooms for three nights. Although the room was clean with fridge,microwave and coffee maker there were no plates cutlery or cups to make a snack with. There is nowhere on the property to have lunch or buy drinks so we had to go out or fill our cool bags which fortunately we had brought with... More

My wife and I just returned from a four night stay in the Kimble lodge. The room was very nice and well cared for.

“Best vacation ever!!”

My husband and I just returned from our first (of many) vacations to Sanibel Island. We spent 5 nights in Matthew's Lodge. We loved having the screened porch! It was amazing to sit there in the morning drinking coffee and listening to the waves. It was also great in the evening to not have to deal with bugs. The room... More

“Nice location on Sanibel Island”

Reviewed 7 May 2013

The best thing about this hotel is the location, right on the beach with lots of seashells. It's really an older motel that has been converted into an inn. My deal with hotwire was not honored when I got there because it was made after office hours but after a little negotiation we were able to get a room. The... More
