Island Inn

The Island Inn is the oldest Inn on Sanibel. From 1895 it has served guests and residents in its magnificent site on ten acres of pristine beach, virgin dune and silky sand: facing due south on the Gulf of Mexico. The Island Inn was the first hotel on Sanibel and Captiva. In 2020 it enters its 125th year. It combines old Florida style cottages, with wooden decks, loungers and a presence of times past: with modern lodges, ideal for today’s families. Space for children means they are always occupied: space for adults encourages quality time with friends and loved ones: and at all times the Gulf is just a few sandy footsteps away. The Island Inn’s 49 rooms, suites, and cottages have been recently modernized. All rooms have fridge, microwave and coffee making facilities and many have full kitchens. Rooms also feature Wi-Fi, flat screen TV’s, DVD/CD players, and iPhone/iPod docking stations in all rooms. The large screened porches overlook the peaceful palms of the beachfront gardens; yards from the warm waters of the Gulf. In 2016 the Island Inn became a Certified Guest Service Property through the American Hotel & Lodging Educational Institute (AHLEI) when the entire front desk staff received their Certified Guest Service Professional (CGSP®) certifications. The staff of the Island Inn has only one purpose – to help guests have a perfect stay. Many of the staff has been at the Island Inn for more than 20 years – they know their guests, and they know that courteous, attentive and professional hospitality is what makes their guests want to return again and again. Staff at the Island Inn appreciate and value the presence of their guests, ensure that they delight each and every visitor and provide them with a lasting memory of the Island Inn – a memory guests will cherish.
