From the place itself to the front desk it was an amazing trip. Such a close walk to the beach. Shelling was fantastic. Restaurants and shops within walking distance. Definitely will be coming back

It sounds like you got a wonderful taste of everything we love about Sanibel Island! We’re so glad Colony Inn #C-16 made such a great home base for your trip—from an easy stroll to the beach and some fantastic shelling to being able to walk out and enjoy the nearby restaurants and shops.
We’re especially happy to hear that your experience with our front desk team added to your stay. We want the warm, welcoming feeling to start before you even make it to the beach!
And since you’re already saying you’ll be back, we’ll happily hold you to that. 😊 There are always more shells to find, places to explore, and relaxing island days to enjoy. We’ll be excited to welcome you back to Colony Inn #C-16 when it’s time for your next Sanibel adventure!

We loved our stay here. It was very clean & welcoming.
It had everything we needed. It was a short walk to the beach, nearby restaurants, & a few gift shops. Look forward to a return visit.

Room was very clean and exactly as described.
Easy check in. Room was very clean and exactly as described. The provided beach chairs and umbrella was a nice perk and the pool and proximity to the beach made this a great stay. Would definitely recommend.

So relaxing, no hassle.
We had such a relaxing time. Everyone was very helpful. there was still a lot going on to restore the complex after the latest storms but it did not interfere with our stay at all. I can tell by the work being done that it will be even better than ever. Thank you all for making our stay so smooth.

Great Staycation
This was sort of a last minute getaway for me and my girls. The location is great! Very nice and quiet which makes it tge perfect place to relax and recharge. The unit was relatively clean with the exception of the comforter and shams and the blanket for the pullout. Thankfully we brought blankets and pillows from home but this shouldn't be required. We also opted to not use the dishwasher as it had not been emptied out prior to arrival and had standing water in it.
Aside from that we enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back. The staff is absolutely amazing!

Not so much. Clean water at good temp. All the tile at waters edge had a gray oily greasy film. Got out.
