Clean, nice furnishings. ##### Ronald Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dawn 27 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication 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!!

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 23 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful view.

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 #### Monica 7 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities The place is clean and nice , but the price is too high for what the hotel offers. 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 #### Susan 16 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Perfect place to stay for your beach trip!
