Beautiful, clean and well appointed room. Ken at the front desk was very nice and helpful. The resort took a beating from the hurricane in 2022 and they are slowly recovering, glad to be able to stay there and help them out. We will be back!

Really nice, updated, and clean room with a screened waterfront balcony in a perfect place on the island (far enough away from the big resorts to be in a quieter area, but close enough to the center area of the island to be convenient).

Room was clean . Staff was amazing . Only downside - can’t book a specific room . We wanted first floor and we were told rooms can’t be requested . Manager was kind enough to give us first floor the next day and the rest of our stay was amazing . Would not rebook with them again though because we can’t be guaranteed the first floor even though we loved it !

We have a planned a day trip to Sanibel Island for a trade show on Friday in Orlando. However, we decided to extend our stay and find a hotel to stay overnight. We would then return to Orlando on Sunday and drive back to Southern California on Monday. The hotel we chose was very pleasant, clean, and well-equipped with kitchen supplies. It also had a collection of seashells. The best time to visiting is June or July when the waters is clear and warmer.

Amazing views from Matthews Lodge!!!! This is my third stay (first time after hurricane Ian) and every time the staff, from the office staff to the maintenance team to the housekeeping team are ALL amazing! Always right there to tend to every need with a smile! I don’t think there is ever a day they would ever not make this place feel like home away from home!! The Island Inn is a must and the island would not feel the same without them! They are working hard to re build the future and sustain the incredible history this Inn has to offer its guests. In fact, if I lived close enough, they make the environment so great I would even want to work there! God Bless!! Dawn H

The Inn was a nice place. However be careful what web site you make your reservations with. They tell you there is a pool, complimentary breakfast. These are no more. After the hurricanes the pool is gone as well as then doing a breakfast for there customers. Rooms were spacious but it does come with a price.

I think the Island Inn was a great place to stay if you want to walk out of your room onto a beautiful uncrowded beach that the crowd ls limited to the rooms it has occupied at the resort. 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)..

We had an incredible stay at the Island Inn for our anniversary, and we can’t say enough about how wonderful this place is. 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!

Really loved this place. Right on the water, about 75 feet from back porch to ocean. Private and peaceful, everything a weekend getaway should be like. Will definitely be returning.
