We are diligently working to restore the Colony Inn to the beautiful, quaint, cozy, little slice of paradise that we all love and miss!!! It's been a year since Ian, and we have come so far on our restoration efforts, but still have some work to do. We can't wait to have you come back to relax with your toes in the sand!

Cheers to what's ahead!!!!

It has been a long road, but we have finally started demo on the first-floor units and the new roofs will begin to be installed in the next few weeks. We still have a long road of recovery ahead of us before we are able to host guests again…..but we are committed to building back our little slice of paradise to share with you all again in the future.  

Peace, Love, Sanibel

Found treasure! This poem was found in one of our rooms during reconstruction.💗

For years, every summer we had CRAP (Colony Resort Art Party). The theme that year was “Captivating Captiva” and the poem was the submitted entry.

Title: Captivating Captiva
Author: Jeff Hartmann (C50)
.............

Ya got your gulf on one side
Your channel on the other
A paradise place, go tell your mother
One road in, the same road out
And those sunsets make everybody shout
Ya got your restaurants a plenty
And your pedestrians galore
Waves just a crashing
All over the shore
(Uptown) South Seas
(Downtown) Turner Beach
Now I’m talking Captiva
How I long to see ya
Cap Cap Captiva
If ya fled, I’d retrieve ya
Cuz I want to keep ya….Captiva
A place once for incarceration
Now the finest beach in the nation
If your luck by chance to see a manatee
If your rich you can stay up at South Seas
So much more that I can’t tell ya right here
So lets discuss it more at Mucky Duck with a beer!

Greetings friends! Sharing an update from Michelle 💙

The Sanibel Causeway opened back up to the public on January 2nd. The cleanup of debris is ongoing, and the city has been doing a magnificent job at it! When you drive around the island there is still debris to be cleaned up, but it is looking better and healthier! When you look in the windows of the one-story homes and businesses, you can see that they are gutted down to the studs....but people ARE rebuilding!

As most of us on island continue to rebuild, here is a list of some businesses' that have reopened on Sanibel:

Cielo

Jerry's Cafe

Mudbugs

Sanibel Deli & Coffee Factory

Sanibel Grill

The Shack

Tutti Pazzi

Traders

Jerrys Grocery Store

Whitneys Bait & Tackle

SanCap Bank (Main Branch)

SanCap Pak-N-Ship

Bank of the Islands

Nannys of Sanibel

Sanibel Spirits

Sea Oats Day Spa

Captiva Cruises

Captain Brian on the Water

Endless Summer Charters

Food Trucks in their parking lot:

The Blue Giraffe

Huxters Market & Deli

Gramma Dots

We would like to thank you for your patience as we put the island back together, and return it to the beautiful sanctuary island that we have all come to love. We will continue to provide you updates as we hit major milestones in our recovery, and look forward to hosting you again in the future.

If you've been here, you know this path ❤️‍🩹
We are making lots of progress at Colony Inn Sanibel. 90% of the debris is cleaned up and we are working on the landscaping, electrical, and pool clean up. We thank everyone for their patience as we rebuild. We look forward to welcoming you back as soon as possible - Still lots more to be done until that time. Stay well and save some Christmas money to come and see us next year!
