You'll discover tropical paradise and island charm at the Sunshine Island Inn. Located in old town Sanibel, we are surrounded by lush palms and the natural beauty of the sleepy Sanibel River. Stroll on Sanibel's famous shelling beaches directly across the street or laze comfortably at our Inn's beautifully landscaped pool. Each ground level cottage is designer decorated with a mix of antiques and tropical island decor. All rooms have their own private lanai. The inn has a variety of cottages for families, as well as some that are especially charming for couples and honeymooners.

After visiting the island for years, the Massat family purchased a home on Sanibel several years before purchasing the Inn.

The inn was purchased in the fall of 2004. "It's the beautiful, secluded location that really appealled to us. We knew that it was a great opportunity to have a taste of Old Florida," said the Massats.
