It feels like your own private paradise—highly recommend for couples or anyone wanting to unplug and unwind! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/df7675b2-cf2f-43c1-aee4-bf472846f625-1752454358851.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ded1569f-84cd-4a7d-869d-c3dddb45792f-1752454389031.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Alexandra Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Juliette 27 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication The best part of this is having private beach access and our room right there in walking distance.

Check in with Ken was awesome. Its more than a room irs an apartment with full kitchen, screened balcony overlooking the Gulf of America. One of the best places on Sanibel for sea shell hunting. Clean, nice furnishings. ##### Ronald Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Terry 31 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication They have been working tirelessly to get the property beck since the hurricanes. Our room was brand new and excellent! Everyone there is extremely knowledgeable and helpful to make sure your needs are met. It’s sad to see the island in such bad shape 3 yrs since Ian. However things are looking up all around and our stay along the beach was wonderful! ##### Terry Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Natalia 28 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication We stayed in a room with an absolutely breathtaking view, the perfect way to start and end each day with the sound of the ocean. The front desk service at check-in and check-out was fantastic – friendly, welcoming, and efficient. The beach is spectacular – peaceful, clean, and ideal for relaxing or shelling. Everything at the hotel is well cared for and thoughtfully maintained. It was a wonderful experience and we will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended for anyone looking for peace, nature, and exceptional hospitality! ##### Natalia Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matthew 16 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication 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! ##### Matthew Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer 14 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had a lovely stay! ##### Jennifer Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2022 ### 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!!
