Island Sands Inn

Mike! Jim! We made it home!
Oh this review will be my favorite to write! So let’s do this!
On may 3^rd my husband & I checked into island sands inn. We came a tad early and we were greeted outside with a warm welcome by Mike!!! What a beautiful guy he is! Brought us back to the pool, chatted it up a bit! Sweetheart!
We entered our room #2 (over looking pool and and luscious private deck for the guests) the room was spotless, very welcoming and can I say these guys have thought of EVERYTHING when it comes to making it comfortable for their guests! Never in my travels have I encountered this!
Walked in to a cool room after being in the heat, ceiling fan going and music on!
Comfortable bed
Huge shower & separate tub!
Great towels, 2 pool towels,
make up cloths
Coffee maker with plenty coffee, different creamers, actual coffee cups (no paper here) red solo cups (no cheap plastic cups)
Complimentary waters & wine w/​real wine glasses!
Stocked refrigerator n snack basket for a very reasonable fee.
Plenty of easy to get to outlets to plug in.
Push button entry instead of carrying around a room key.
Cable tv with plenty of channels
Cushy pillows.
They have thought of everything!
Let’s go outside!
Large clean pool
nice umbrellas and seating/​lounging.
Each seating area had cutters spray for those Florida no see ems! Haha!
Small freezer with ice cubes. yay!
Floats for the pool
Luscious greens & flowered plants. No idea what they are called so I will call them blooming beauties!!!
Palms, ferns and more palms!!!
Very private! Got to love that!
Soft lighting at night, no big bright lights. That’s annoying!!!
Mike was so accommodating. Always asking if we need anything with his fabulous friendly smile! Nice breakfast choices and served to us pool side in the morning and the coffee!!! Oh yeah!
The area… let’s go!
Close to eats & drinks. Yes you can walk! Nice area!!! Not far from beach even though we didn’t go to beach. No need, we loved it right where we were.
Loved this place and everything about it so much that we immediately rebooked same room to spend our last 2 days of a 2 weeks vacation.
Came back after travels to the keys. Was sweetly welcomed by Jim! Was so nice meeting him!!! Didn’t talk long cause we were so beat! Great vibes!
Enjoyed a very relaxing last 2 days.
We WILL be back. Not going to bother looking else where when we visit Ft Lauderdale! Island Sands Inn will be our permanent home away from home!
Thank you Mike & Jim! We love ya!!!
Keeping shining!!!

I wish to add my voice to the other positive reviews here. My three day stay at the Island Sands Inn was lovely. The Inn is pretty, peaceful and clean. There are complimentary bottles of water and wine in the room. The hosts, Mike and Jim, are super friendly and helpful and respectful of their guests’ privacy. While soaking in the salt water pool I felt like I had found a little piece of heaven. The Inn is also well located and my first night I walked to a fabulous sushi restaurant and the next day to a coffee place. There’s also a funky thrift shop a block or so away that supports a local animal rescue organization. I would return to the Island Sands Inn in a heartbeat!

Island Sands is an absolutely wonderful place. I can’t recommend it more highly. It is clean, comfortable, friendly, and feels like a home away from home. Mike is incredible in terms of the care and attention he gives the guests. It’s so nice to see a place where the staff feel such pride in what they do.

Staying here is better than staying at any hotel in Fort Lauderdale. I was a little skeptical when my friend first brought up the idea only because I had never stayed at a bed and breakfast before.
The experience was unparalleled and I don’t think Mike and Jim could have been any better hosts. Upon checking-​in they asked if we wanted any (free) beer or liquor. A great way to make your guest happy. Our room was of decent size with a pretty big bathroom. Outside of our window was the small leisure pool which unfortunately we didn’t get to enjoy during our stay.

First of all let me tell you that Mike and Jim are what genuine hospitable host should be. I travel so much and stay at many hotels and have never felt as welcomed as I did at their inn. I felt like I was at home and they very welcoming. The room was very clean and they have wonderful snack and a fridge and microwave :-) plus complimentary wine! The best part even though I had an early flight was their complimentary breakfast. Wow!!! I will be staying here anytime I visit Fort Lauderdale! :-)

Have recently returned from my second stay at this impressive property. For a detailed assessment of my first visit checkout my review that I posted on Trip Advisor. I stayed in a different room this time and it was perfect including a large walk-​in shower. The property is meticulous in every way. The guest attention provided by Mike and Jim ‘is over the top’. Based on my first visit they noted that I like a specific ‘bloody mary mix with a lime gin and garshined with a gourmet pickle. Upon arrival I opened the refrig to find all the ingredients for making my special drink. Unbelievable surprise !
Am scheduled to return in March… YEA ! Have booked the third room in the guesthouse and then plan to move to a villa. Want to try out all the various options before making my future bookings, especially for next Winter.
Try the Island Sands Inn, you will really like it !!

Staff is amazing, very accommodating and just all around great place to stay. The rooms were spacious and clean — have full fridge and BBQ by the pool — anything you need. The pool is amazing! convenient place to stay — look no further! Seriously everything is within few steps — bars great night life and restaurants.
