Perfect spot for a couples getaway
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.

Our stay was very nice, although we had to cut it short due to hurricane Helene. (The staff was very understanding) We would definitely love to come back to Sunshine Island Inn.

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.

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.

Great Find
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

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!

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.

Weekend get away.
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.
