Love the location of this Inn on West Gulf Dr.! It is close to all of my favorite places...the preserve, the shops and restaurants along Tarpon, Doc Fords and within biking distance to Captiva if the weather isn't too hot. The Inn was very quiet when were there but picked up a bit on the weekend. The rooms were immaculate... more

We rented a top (third floor) condo. very easy walk to the beach. The facility has a restaurant and the food was wonderful and the service was among the best we have every enjoyed in any restaurant. The Condo was very clean and everything was in excelant shap. We would open the 20 foot long sliding glass doors every night... more

This resort when we were there was pretty quiet. We went on Aug 15. Our room was very close to the beach. Very low key and relaxing. more

My husband and I just returned from a weekend stay on Sanibel at the Island Inn. We had stayed here last summer as well, and after reading some of the recent reviews on TA, we almost reconsidered booking here again, thinking the place may have gone downhill since our last visit. But I'm happy to report we had another great... more

Upon checkin, the first thing the gentleman said was that we were welcome to look at the accomodations first. He also said he would work out the most savings for us! Not found much anymore. This is a very old, historical inn, just charming. There are lots of books, games, movies and cds available. There are bike rentals too, as... more

Although we liked our stays there we opted for a different hotel. We made no reservations ahead of time. We did our research on Trip Advisor and came up with... more

We have stayed at the Island Inn several times. It is my favorite place for a relaxing vacation. The pool is on the gulf. My favorite rooms are in Matthew's Lodge. They have HUGE, private porches. The only draw back is the Inn is quite pricey. Happy shelling! more

The location of the Island Inn is nice and there were few people on the beach. The hotel looks a bit run down. When we asked the front desk for beach towels, we were given bath towels - smallish - and was told that was what they used as beach towels. It wasn't even large enough to cover the lounge... more
