The Island Inn was founded in 1885 and has been a part of Sanibel history. From the history of the Island Inn:

"Island Inn was established in 1885. It began as the home of Will and Harriet Matthews and their four children who traded in the harsher climate of the north for the more temperate, year round weather of Sanibel Island. Constantly entertaining friends and relatives from the north who flocked to visit, the Matthews decided to turn their home into a boarding house. And from this grew the gracious tradition of the historic Island Inn that now hosts families and friends from around the world".

You will enjoy resort amenities including gulf front pool, tennis, kayaking, shuffleboard, volleyball and great shelling on the beach just steps away.

One of Sanibel's best restaurants offering dining and entertainment, Traditions is on the property, also just steps away!

We invite you to stay in our lovely home.

My wife and I stayed for 8 nights. We had a great time. Jim, the manager came to greet us and asked if we needed anything. We did need an ice chest and he provided two. A large and small one. He was a great guy that contacted us several times to see If we needed anything. The BBQ on site was great and we used it several nights. One great benefit was the use of the washer and dryer which was free. The condo was super clean and well equipped. The beds were comfortable. The beach was right out in front of our building. I would pass on the Traditons restaurant next door. The food really sucked. Our best food on the isl AZ nd was the food we cooked. Sad but true. Overall we had a great time. Ken and Karen

You can’t beat sitting in the living room and watching the ocean & the pool. Lie in bed in the a.m. and watch the sunrise over the ocean. Condo has Great beachy feel, I thought the best shelling around...swales of shells right in front of the property. Condo has 99.9% of what you need & great size. Island Inn employees were very friendly and the grounds are kept very clean. Pool was great. If I came back to Sanibel, I would definitely stay in this condo. Only thing lacking was sugar/artificial packets & a decent sized bar of soap for the shower.

We just loved this condo at 305 Kimball Lodge. First of all the location is just great! The beach is right there and wonderful pool. All the staff that worked there were so friendly and welcoming. There is a grocery store nearby which made it easy to get meals and cook. We rented bikes for a week and were able to ride easily even after ankle surgery!The condo itself was so easy to navigate with everything you needed! Thank you for a great stay and can't wait to go back again!! One suggestion is be careful of the sand fleas! I recommend using bugspray when viewing the beautiful sunset!

This was our third year at Kimball Lodge 305 and it was just as good or even better than the past two years. The unit is just right for two people and exactly as described. The kitchen is well furnished with everything you might need and the living area is spacious and well appointed. The new floors (replacing carpet) gives the unit an updated feel. We love the balcony over looking the courtyard and spend a lot of time there relaxing and watching/listening to the ocean. We look forward to our next stay in 305!

My sister and I spent a week at this condo in April 2018. Sanibel is a relaxing location,, and the beach was just steps away. We also spent time on the sun deck, which was pleasant as well. The condo had everything we needed, and check in was so simple. Condo was clean, beds were comfortable, and kitchen had the necessities. A little TLC (fresh coat of paint and replacing the carpet ) would make this condo sparkle, but certainly met our expectation. We would consider returning for another week of sand and sun!

The lanai is great: quiet, great views. Very comfortable beds, loads of beach equipment, good small library with reference books, plenty of beach towels. Washer and Dryer available a few doors down from this unit. Love this place! Very clean, but could use new carpeting and a coat of paint.

We loved our stay at Kimball Lodge #305 condo at Island Inn. It is a very nice condo, very close to the beach, they have beach towels, beach toys, beach chairs/umbrellas and a cooler for use on the beach! Very helpful since I didn't have enough room in my luggage for a beach towel! The managers in charge are very quick to respond to questions. It is close to restaurants, maybe only a 15 minute drive. There is also a restaurant at the Island Inn, but we didn't go there as we had other places we wanted to try! But…certain things need to be updated here: the toaster isn't even from this decade and it burns one side of your toast and leaves the other side raw/not toasted. :( We're lucky our bread didn't catch on fire, it burned it so bad! (I did contact them after our vacation to let them know it was faulty.) There's no pizza cutter or pizza pan/baking sheet really suitable for a pizza, it's not that big of a deal, but I thought people should know. There is also no dishwasher here either (just to let people know, as it's been said before), but there isn't really much room to put one in the kitchen either. My friend and I took turns washing dishes, so not a real big deal. They could use a few more plates only 4 large and 4 small (they had a bunch of glasses though!). They also had a nice selection of spices (salt, pepper, cumin, etc. I don't remember all of them). The plastic chairs on the lanai could be changed to something a bit more comfortable. I see now that the lanai can be in the direct path of rain but you can't relax in a chair that sits up right. Plastic Adirondack chairs would be nice here instead especially since I just wanted to relax on the lanai, listen to the ocean and read my book! The lanai could use a ceiling fan, as it does not really get much of the ocean breeze, since it is on the side of the building and can become extremely hot. We actually thought our lanai was hotter than it actually was outside! The sofa in the living room area could be changed to something other than white, as there were a lot of stains on the seat cushions and I felt like we sank to the floor sitting on it. The beds were pretty comfy but the pillows could be changed. I didn't feel like they supported my neck at all and I doubled them up. There is a nice high efficiency washer and dryer in the hallway in the unmarked door directly across from the elevator and to the left of the stairs. The key for it is in your welcome binder. I wish they would have specified which door was for the laundry. I opened the janitor's closet with my key and felt awkward trying to open all the doors at the end of the hallway by the elevator. Overall, I think I'd definitely stay here again! I'd give this condo a 4.5/5 but just some minor things that may be me just being a bit picky! Sorry! >__

305 - my new favorite number! by far the best place to be for the perfect get away. Sanibel is not built up at all and teaming with beautiful birds, wildlife and the beaches: shells, shells, shells! never seen so many in one place. This condo had everything you could want - just the right size for two. views of the property and beach from every window/sliding glass door. Beach 100 yards away. The sound of crashing waves (not too big, not too small, just right) every day/night. We searched the island for other places to stay, but this small community of low-level condos and cottages (no high rises and spacious grounds) was definitely the place to be. thank you!! we will be back! Very clean and comfy Condo provided everything we needed in the way of kitchen needs, plenty of towels and just the right homey touches.

I have visited Captiva and Sanibel for about 15 years. I have stayed at some of the larger facilities. I really enjoyed the small size of Island Inn. I have nothing negative to say about 305 Kimball lodge. It is one of the nicer condo that I have rented. The Condo is nicely decorated with an updated bathroom. There are windows across the beach side of the condo which provides the morning view of the beach. The condo is on the third floor with access via stairs or elevator. During my visit there were carts by the elevator that allowed me to make one trip in getting stuff to the condo. The bed was comfortable and there was only one night where I could hear the people across/down the hall. The parking spot for this condo is away from the building but was not an issue for me. There is a larger tv in the living area and a small TV in the bed room. There is cable and internet access. I did not cook but there is a stove and microwave. There is a laundry room on the third floor, Laundry detergent was available. I brought beach towels and a hair dryer but both were available in the condo. Ice machine on the 1st floor. I did not use the pool however the pool is smaller in size than some of the condos that I have stayed at.

My niece and I stayed here for her high school graduation trip. The condo location was perfect, a short drive to the town, bike trails across from the property, and, we were within steps of the beach and could see and hear the waves from our room. The grounds were immaculate . The condo itself was perfect for us. There was plenty of closet room, a great shower , beautiful living room, beds were soooo comfy, and the screed porch was very relaxing. There were plenty of towels for the bath and the beach. The kitchen was somewhat small and did not have a dishwasher,. That was perfect for us as we don't plan on working in the kitchen while on vacation!

We had a very relaxing first time trip to Sanibel Island and the Kimball Lodge. It was very nice to walk in and find such a charming, clean, and well appointed place to spend our 29th wedding anniversary. No keys to worry with was a plus also. Towels were folded decoratively with fresh flower tucked into them. We bought a few groceries in Ft. Meyers but found a great grocery store (Bailey's) on the island would have had all we needed. Restaurants were outstanding but our favorite was The Sandbar. Over Easy (very busy) and Sanibel Cafe was great for breakfast. We rented very affordable bikes for our stay and biked through the reserve as well as to shops and restaurants. My husband played golf at The Sanctuary where he rented clubs and enjoyed it. Shelling was amazing and I shipped a box home in a flat rate box! I used a net and at low tide about knee deep was able to get an outstanding variety of shells. I saw 2 dolphin off the beach about 10 feet from shore on our last evening walk. Kimball Lodge 305 has a screened in porch with a nice view of the ocean and beach as well as the Sanibel Inn grounds. It also has an elevator. Don't miss The Shell museum, it is outstanding. Overall we could not have been more pleased with out stay. Thank you!

Kimball Lodge - 305 - At The Historic Island Inn!!!
4/5 stars
My husband and I spent five nights at the Island Inn #305 condo. The condo was very nice and had all the amenities of home (except a dishwasher). The Island Inn is a lovely resort on a beautiful island. It is centrally located to many restaurants, grocery store and the J. N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge. The beach is just a few steps away from the condo. There is also a restaurant (we did not eat there) and a very nice pool on the premises.

5/5 stars
We absolutely loved the condo and the location. It was better than we were expecting. The condo was clean and very spacious. It had everything we needed. Loved that the Inn had lounge chairs available and the shared deck was great for ocean views when you didn't want to go to the beach and get sandy. Another great feature was the keyless entry and the code was easy to remember. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others.

We can't say enough about our stay at Kimball Lodge #305. The condo was very clean, well equipped, plenty of storage, and beautiful views. The whole Island Inn complex was "old school" but nicely updated and very low key. Lots of beach to walk. It was everything we hoped for. Very relaxing! The location is just far enough from the crowds but convenient to get wherever we wanted. The process from booking to walking in the door also could not have been easier. We were provided with clear, detailed and helpful instructions. Everything went smoothly so we had no reason to call about any issues. If we ever get a chance to return to Sanibel we wouldn't want to stay anywhere else.

The third floor of this property is very lovingly maintained and offers a great location and view. So nice to step onto your own little patio, have coffee and listen to the surf. I enjoyed sitting on the sundeck in the mornings and reading. Bike path is right across the road and the Ding Darling Nature Preserve is just around the corner. Beach access is just steps away and they have comfy chairs right on site. They have a fantastic, HE washer/dryer just for the third floor residents. Very nice to have. I don't think it would be appropriate for a full family (one bedroom, two queen beds) but I stayed alone part of the week and then my 16-year-old daughter joined me part of the week and we were very comfortable. Furnishings are too nice (and white!) for younger children. I would have liked to have known more in advance about what to bring, so note: they DO have a hairdryer and beach towels, but do NOT have a small (or large) cooler or a blender :) Also no condiments of any kind in fridge. (It's fine--fridge is nice and clean that way--just nice to know before you do your grocery shopping--you'll even need to get salt/pepper if you want it). Groceries, as you might expect, are very expensive on the island, so get them ahead of time if you can. Lovely furnishings, cute, modern bathroom, great little walk-in closet with nice drawers, etc. First two floors don't seem as decked out, so I'm not sure what the deal is. Maybe they are strictly rentals and the third (top) floor is all condos? Jim, the manager, is very helpful and kind. I loved it!
