Large rooms with updated furniture and utilities. Easy access to beach. Sanibel still needs time to recover. Famous beaches are closed for maintenance but this hotel has demonstrated a strong come back. Rate is reasonable and stay is comfortable. Would recommend.

Our stay was very nice, although we had to cut it short due to hurricane Helene. (The staff was very understanding) We would definitely love to come back to Sunshine Island Inn.

We absolutely love it ! Clean , impeccable, everything looks brand new , we really enjoyed the accommodation and how impeccable everything was , we didnt need anything in our stay so we cant really rate the service but we can absolutely recommend the place , the only thing i would have changed is the acces to the beach , the pathway was very sleppery and there was glass on the floor so i would recommend for guest not to go to the beach barefoot

Weekend get away.
This was our first time visiting the island and the hotel was affordable. we stayed in the Palm suite which was clean and comfortable. No complaints about the property at all. It was recently renovated due to the hurricane and the property was lovely. The only complaint is the advertised ‘walkway’ to the beach- it was flooded and we had to walk our beach cart and feet through ankle deep algae and mud. There needs to be a better way. The hotel should consider improvements on this walkway.

Such a cute and quaint place to stay. I never saw the staff and so it was a bit inconvenient if you needed something. I ran out of conditioner and you don't have immediate access to request something if needed. Parking and signage on where to go upon arrival was confusing. But I would highly recommend this place because of the atmosphere.

Exactly what i was expecting. Clean (most important), spacious, nicely done with new updates. Quiet, loved how the pool was situated for privacy to guests only. Location was great, short walk to beach. Would stay here again.
