Sisters' Getaway

My sister & I came to Sanibel to relax and regroup. We found this condo to be perfectly located for that: short walk to the beach, uncrowded beach, less traffic than other parts of the island. The space was perfect for us! There was a small issue with a dripping shower head, and the property manager had it fixed the very next day. Every question we had was answered quickly and with a smile. We both agreed we would love to come back!

The Colony

Overall quality of accommodation was very good for the money. Yes, there were a couple of small items that could be repaired/replaced (fridge shelf, shutter in front room), but the place was clean, the staff was responsive and friendly. I would stay again.

Beautiful Place

Way better than the pictures (and the pictures are pretty good). Loved sitting outside on the screened porch, the pool was great. Quiet property. Some construction going on but its on a different building so not enough to bother us. Beach is great and a nice walk. Thanks! Just a tip here....do not eat at the Island Cow, food was greasy, gross and expensive. Instead, eat at the pink flamingo. Best food of our trip!

Lovelt Stay

My friends and I absolutely loved this property! The unit was clean and tidy and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We walked to the lighthouse cafe for breakfast both days and enjoyed how close the property was to the beach! We'll definitely be staying here next time we're on the island!

Cute and great location

This little property has been redone and the condo was very cutely decorated and cozy. The beach was just a short walk away in the pool was refreshing and not crowded at all. This is in a great location on Sanabel island!

Ok place but probably wouldn’t return

Was disappointed that I didn’t get the unit I reserved (up until 2 days before I was getting notifications referring to the unit I reserved). The location I was changed to had a poor view in the lanai & busy road nearby. Bathroom was outdated & needs work. Furniture in the unit was nice. There was construction tape & signs along our entry door/walkway which was unattractive

Great location but missing some items

We stayed a couple of days over Christmas. The overall accommodations were nice, but when the decor was updated the old range and microwave were not replaced. We brought ingredients for french toast but there was no pan in the unit.

Perfect Location for us

We like: 1) a nice place to stay, 2) photography, 3) shelling, 4) biking, 5) Ding Darling Nature Preserve, 6) Lighthouse, 7) Love Boat Ice Cream A. We've stayed at four places on Sanibel in our price range. To date: Colony Inn is our favorite for decor, layout, and location. B. Sanibel is ideal for photography. Sunrise/Sunset on beach, plenty of flowers, and all the wildlife at Ding Darling /Bailey's/etc. C. 5 minute walk from beach/shelling. The website said "3 minutes", but we never made it faster than 5. Still, 5 minutes is plenty good. D. Biking - 2 minutes from Lighthouse, 15 minutes from ice cream/groceries/snacks, 40 minutes from nature center. Absolutely ideal. E. Nature Center - perfect for hiking, biking, and photography. We spotted and photographed between 20 and 30 amazing animals during our stay. (We are internally debating if it was 23 or 26 animals.) F. The lighthouse is cool. We found coconuts washed up on shore, which we harvested and ate. Some shells were to be found. Lots of birds congregated for identification and photos. In the past, we found a gopher tortoise here (but not this time). There are nature trails, foot-washing stations, restrooms, and beaches here. G. Let no one dissuade you otherwise: Love Boat Ice Cream has the best ice cream, the most ice cream, and the best prices. If you like ice cream, this should be one of your meals each day. It's worth it for a vacation. In short: Colony Inn is a beautiful place to stay that is perfectly located for each of our interests. The TV/DVD player, the cheap LED/mercury lighting, and the kitchen leave some things to be desired on the interior, but we did not come to Sanibel for the DVD player, the lighting, or the kitchen. Beds were comfortable (including - shockingly - the fold-out couch), the patio/balcony is delightful, the pool is small-but-pleasant, the foot-washing/shell-washing station is a bonus, and the towel service is just right. The shower pressure and temperature are a dream. We look forward to staying here again.

Charming Old Florida Hideaway

We loved our stay at this property! The suite captured the true beach theme. It was decorated beautifully, was private, comfortable, and quiet. Front desk is very professional and friendly. Pretty short walk to the water and beach is full of beautiful shells! Very relaxing! We will return, I'm sure!
