Colony Inn
The staff, the room, and the beach right next door were all wonderful!
The place had everything we needed for a weekend with my daughter and granddaughter. The pool was nice and it was only a short walk to the beach. The beach had a bit of seaweed but we drove to another beach our second day. Had a great time in the pool it was very warm

Beautiful Refresh
It was wonderful to finally return since hurricane Ian and see the Island and Colony Inn thriving again. The updated remodel of our unit was very comfortable. The ice machine on site was a very useful amenity and you can't beat this place to have a beautiful beach within walking distance.

A very beautiful, quiet location, just a 2-minute walk from the beach. Free loan of parasol and beach chair The pool is very pleasant. The terrace with the mosquito net is very nice. The bedding is very comfortable. Shops and restaurants very close by. Everything was perfect.

Very Good
Requested a queen or king bed…assigned a room with two doubles. A beach cart would be helpful…and advertise the availability of beach chairs at the office if not provided in room.
The accomodations were clean and comfortable and the host was prompt with responding to my messages. It was nice being so close to the beach since beach parking is expensive. I chose this rental because it advertised a heated pool. The pool was closed and under construction. Very disappointing.

What a place!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An unforgettable family stay at The Colony Inn, Sanibel
We just spent a wonderful time at The Colony Inn with my wife and our two kids, and it exceeded every expectation.
From the moment we checked in, the staff set the tone. Everyone was warm, helpful, and genuinely happy — always smiling, polite, and friendly, not just with us but with each other too. That team spirit tells you a lot about a place, and it made us feel welcome from the very first minute.
The property itself is fantastic. There's a great barbecue area, a lovely pool, and a handy rinse-off station to clean up after the beach. Our unit was spotlessly clean, comfortable, and fully equipped — a complete kitchen with all the appliances and cookware we needed, plus a TV and all the little comforts that make a family trip easy.
The location is perfect. It's an easy walk to an ice cream shop, restaurants, and a souvenir store.
And the beach — what can I even say. It has to be one of the top three beaches in the entire USA. Calm, crystal-clear water, a spectacular view, and pure tranquility. Absolutely breathtaking.
We had an amazing time and can't wait to come back. Highly recommended for families!

Liked: Cleanliness, location
Disliked: Check-in, communication
The amenities are still under construction and the pool was unavailable. But the worst part was we tried to check in and the codes did not work and it took an hour to rectify the situation. no one was on duty and we arrived at 4:00 pm. Keep[ in mind I was rehabbing from and achilleas tendon injury and walking all over the facility was awfull.
