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 ol

d 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!

Have you ever spotted this keystone species while visiting Sanibel Island? 🐢

Meet the gopher tortoise—the only tortoise native to the eastern United States and a state-threatened species in Florida. These incredible creatures like to burrow into the ground and can live up to 40-60 years old in the wild.

More than half of Sanibel Island is dedicated to public wildlife refuges you and your family can explore. Learn more about local estuary tours here ➡️ https://islandinnsanibel.com/things-to-do-on-sanibel-island/sanibel-wildlife-estuary-tours/

Black Skimmers are hatching on the Sanibel Causeway for the first time in 30 years! 🤩

Why is this important? Black Skimmers are a sign of a healthy coastline. They rely almost entirely on shallow-water fish and undisturbed waters for their habitat.

SCCF is monitoring these little chicks and their families to ensure they stay safe and to document their historic return to our coast. This is an avid birdwatcher's paradise, so keep your eyes peeled for these beautiful creatures when visiting the island! 🫶
