Guests appreciate practical extras like loaner beach gear, on-site grills, and parking right by the door. Several reviews note the private beach path can be slippery, muddy, or flooded at times. Expect a relaxed, self-contained stay.

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.

This is a great place to stay a couple looking for a quiet destination. We were really happy to find it so clean. Brand new beach chairs, umbrella, and also a cart to carry it all were on site to use! The walk over to the beach only took about two minutes. They also offer grills and grilling tools on the property overlooking the canal. I wish I would’ve known, we would’ve gone to Jerry‘s to pick up something to grill one night! Little touches like having bug spray and sunscreen on the patio were nice. The bed was very comfortable and the A/C worked well.

This place was lovely!!! The island is going through a tough time. I wanted to come down stay and support locals! I can’t say enough about how lovely they stay was. Very close to the beach, park right outside your door. They have beach chairs and umbrellas for your use. Grill, shower, hose off or even shower!!! Can’t wait to return!

Pool is small and could maybe sqeeze in a few more lounge chairs?Overall I had a great experience at the Sunshine Island Inn and will look forward to another stay!

It was comfortable and friendly. Laid back and relaxing. Loved the layout of the property. Didn’t like the beach path. It was too narrow to walk on. Staff was friendly and accommodating. It was a pleasure meeting the manager Megan who was from West Palm Beach and volunteered for Sunfest with me in transportation area. It was great and had a great time in Sanibel Island. Definitely come back to Sunshine Island Inn. Perfect location.

The Sunshine Island Inn was wonderful. They is nothing the owners overlooked when designing the room and property. We stayed in the Lighthouse room. It is a king size bed which was wonderful. The small kitchen was fully stock with anything you would need. The unit was so clean when we arrived. They is a wonderful pool which all rooms face with a sliding glass door. The also have chaise loungers, grilling area and even have pool floats at the ready. There is also a sitting area with table and chairs just outside you entry door covered buy an adjustable umbrella. The beautiful beach is just across the street and there is even a private path for the guest. I highly recommend the Sunshine Island Inn it was a great experience!

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

Perfect stay! In the top 2 of our 9 hotels we stayed in on our road trip. Can't rate it highly enough. Huge and comfortable bed, modern and clean fitments and furniture, doors to parking and to the pool. Only a few minutes from the beach down a path across the road. Easy to find and in a quiet area. Doesn't break the bank and will definitely use again.

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.

This was a really cute property with six units that were all redone, because of Hurricane Ian. We stayed in the one called Tropical Paradise, and I would definitely stay there again. We also got to meet the owner and she showed us a few of the other units. The beach is across the street and you have to walk between two buildings to get there, but not a big deal.

Out of the way from everything. Work in progress around the area because of the Hurricane that has gone through. ****************

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.

The property was clean and well kept. It’s close to every thing. The pool just a few steps out of every bungalow. Full kitchen and use of out grill. Being able cook out was a blast and beat the hustle waiting at a restaurant. Staff was fantastic. I’ve already booked another stay.
