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

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.

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.

Beautiful room - Clean and modern. The only issue we had was the 2 living chairs and couch was uncomfortable as the cushions were too worn for sitting more than 1 hour.

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!

Pretty much brand new rooms following the hurricane - comfy bed, better than anticipated kitchette & bathroom. Nice touches & design throughout. Didn't get a chance to use the pool or grills but both looked well maintained & easy to use. Would highly recommend

I would like to suggest that bathtub-shower be provided with grab bar for safety....I think there are movable ones that can be attached to outer wall of tub, if permanent installation is not wanted. Otherwise, the facility was exceedingly well furnished and designed.

We stayed for two nights in Tropical King one bdrm suite. Room was very clean, we loved having the kitchen with full size refrig. Enjoyed use of the free kayaks. Easy walk to nice quiet beach, used facility provided wagon. Chairs and umbrellas also available. Pool very nice, and quiet. Great biking area if you have or rent bikes.

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.

My husband and I stayed at the Heron Hideaway and it was better than expected. We had a decent size mini fridge, pots and pans and hot plate for cooking, microwave, and coffee maker. We loved sitting out back along the mangroves. The grills were great for cooking. They also offer wagons for the beach, chairs, and umbrellas. The beach is walking distance. Laundry is on site too, which is great. Everything is a close bike ride away. We highly recommend. For the price, we had an awesome experience. We will be back!

This is a hidden gem, it is a quiet part of the island, a very short stroll to the beach, The pool and kayaks make for a very relaxing stay. The rooms all open to the pool except for the Castaway, which is a small separate cottage. The staff are very helpful. It was wonderful to have the ability to cook in our room and to eat outdoors on our porch. There are a few restaurants in walking distance, but with bikes you could enjoy even more. We look forward to returning as soon as possible.

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.
