Tropical 1BR Sanibel Escape - Colony Inn 17

Welcome to Colony Inn Unit 17, a cheerful and inviting island escape on beautiful Sanibel Island—where every stay feels easy, relaxing, and full of good memories. Professionally managed by Gulf Coast Vacation Rentals, this charming retreat is set within the peaceful Colony Inn community, offering a comfortable and welcoming home base while keeping you close to everything that makes the island so special.

Perfectly positioned, you'll be just minutes from scenic bike paths, cozy cafés, casual dining spots, boutique shopping, and serene nature preserves. It's the ideal blend of quiet relaxation and easy access to all the best local experiences.

Inside, you'll find a bright and happy space designed for comfort and connection. The spacious living area is perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring—whether you're settling in for a movie night, laughing with family and friends, or simply enjoying a calm moment together. The fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances makes it easy to prepare everything from quick breakfasts to relaxed, home-style dinners.

The primary bedroom offers a peaceful retreat with a plush king-size bed, perfect for restful nights and slow, easy mornings. A queen sleeper sofa in the living area provides extra sleeping space, making this unit a great fit for couples, families, or small groups traveling together.

Whether you're here for a weekend getaway or an extended island stay, Colony Inn Unit 17 is a warm and joyful place to land—your perfect home away from home on Sanibel Island.

House Rule: No smoking. No burning candles inside of lodging. No parties. No Pets.

Laundry facilities are conveniently located on each floor of both buildings for guest use.

​​​​​​​Please Note : We're continuing our efforts to maintain and improve the property with enhancements taking place at Building 2 from May 4th through end of June 2026. During this time Building 2 is closed. Work will be conducted Monday–Friday, 7:30 AM to approximately 3:30 PM.

Guests in Building 1 and around the pool area should experience minimal impact, though occasional daytime renovation noise may be heard. For safety, some areas of the grounds may be temporarily restricted while work is underway.

We appreciate your understanding as we make these improvements and look forward to welcoming you!
