THE ISLAND INN – Sanibel, Florida

Cherished memories, modern comforts – enjoy it all at the 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 private 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. It combines old Florida style 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 Rooms
The Island Inn’s rooms & suites 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. Warm & Friendly Staff
The staff of the Island Inn has only one purpose – to help you 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. Cherished memories, modern comforts – enjoy it all at the Island Inn!

Before the Sanibel Causeway opened in the '60s, Island visitors had to arrive via boat, such as this one, the Islander Ferry of Fort Myers. ⛴️

This ship transported passengers and a small number of vehicles across the waterways of Southwest Florida so visitors could keep the convenience of driving their automobile while on the island.

We love the convenience of the Causeway, but wouldn't a ferry ride across the sea feel magical? 🌊

Adopt a mangrove and give back to our local coastal community. 🌿

We've partnered with SCCF to nurture Red Mangrove propagules that wash ashore on our Inn's beach. Mangroves are vital to our ecosystem because they protect our coasts from erosion and storm surges, and serve as the habitat for countless wildlife. 🐟

When you stay at the Island Inn, there is a mangrove propagule in each room that you can adopt to support our local conservation for these super trees! See how it works by visiting our website here: ➑️ https://islandinnsanibel.com/mangroves/

Did you know that those beautiful Lightning Whelk shells start off growing by the dozens in an egg casing? 🐚

Those spiny yellow cases on the beach are actually lightning whelk eggs attached through a string, connecting hundreds of capsules.

Once mature, they create these stunning striped whelk shells to live in before washing up on our beaches again. 🌊
