Check in was very friendly and easy. Our room was just as nice as the pictures. Wonderful walk in shower. Nice living and kitchen area. Beach access was great. Beach chairs and umbrellas out every day. Comfortable bed and plenty of towels. Parking was ground floor directly under our unit. I did like the fact that our truck did not have to sit out in the sun during our stay. They are definitely still dealing with some post Ian issues but are making the best of what they still have. I would not hesitate to stay here again. Was well worth the trip. Wish we could’ve seen it before Ian. Hopefully they can rebuild the buildings they have lost and rehab one of the buildings that suffered damage but is still standing. Can’t wait to go back and see the progress. All in all a wonderful stay.

The property/room was exceptional! Very nicely decorated, good amount of supplies, designated parking, just a short walk to the beach. After Hurricane Ian this place was one of the first to reopen. It is Amazing!! Loved it and will be back again!

Sanibel is still in recovery following Hurricane Ian in 2022, but there is movement on the island and we were happy to return this summer. The Island Inn was one of the commercial properties that sustained significant damage but they managed to reopen in a limited capacity, and we're glad they did. It was our first time staying there and we would definitely return as their recovery and rebuilding continues.

So glad to see Sanibel coming back to life after the devastation from the hurricane. What a little piece of paradise at Island Inn. The quiet private beach was amazing! Our room was clean and set up perfectly. With a beautiful view of the beach! We'll definitely be back one day!

This property is oceanfront with direct access to the beach from the lanai. There was a large screened lanai with chairs and a table. Everything was clean and the staff was very helpful. There was daily cleaning but, we decided not to use it because it was raining and we were stuck inside. When I went outside there were a bag of fresh towels at the door. I didn’t even ask for them. I would recommend this property.

Island Inn and the overall area are still recovering from the Hurricane that impacted SE Florida. The staff was very friendly and helpful and our accommodations were in excellent condition. However, there are few amenities on property and one damaged building on property that will need to be demolished and rebuilt. There was a grocery store and restaurants close by but many of the businesses are still closed. The beach is in good shape with tons of shells but beware the no-see-ums. Wishing Island Inn and their friendly team the best as they rebuild. We would like to revisit in the future.

Room was very spacious, clean and new. Everything was well stocked for the bathroom and kitchen needs. Staff was very nice and attentive. The beach was beautiful as always. Know before booking there is no pool. There is one washer and dryer on the grounds for the guest to use without charge. Overall the stay was excellent.

Love how quiet and private the beach is here. Nothing flashy here. Just the beach and a decent room. Close to Jerrys grocery and Doc Fords. What more could you ask for. Staff is friendly and rooms are nice overall. Only complaints was the AC not working which we did not realize until later when we got back from dinner. Too late to really get anything done about it. The furniture in this room was little dirty. Could use a steam cleaning. We will come back because overall it is what we are looking for. Beachfront. Remember that this area has a lot of damage still unattended to from the hurricane. Keep that in mind. A lot of fenced in construction type scenery.
