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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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.
