Island Sands Inn Wilton Manors

"The widespread practice of big hotel chains tacking on "resort fees" is repulsive. It's just a way to advertise a lower price and then screw customers on the back end. It's really sad to see a small, local place like the Island Sands Inn adopting this same shady practice. When you're charging $300+ a night for a room in a converted house do you really need to tack on a $50 per night "resort fee"? The only "resort" aspect of this property is a tiny pool behind the building. I like this property. It's convenient to Wilton Drive and usually a decent stay. But the after-sale "resort fee" is so shady and sad you get one star. Unless you need to stagger home from the drive at 3 am up to your nipples in alcohol and strangers, just stay at one of the myriad other hotels in the area that don't engage in this stupidity."

"They refused to let in the guest I drove there. It was in a South Florida downpour and we were drenched."

"Really enjoyed our stay at Island Sands Inn. Mike was so helpful getting us oriented and recommending restaurants and nightspots. And there are many of both within walking distance! We chose a small room for the two of us. It was comfortable, clean and had plenty of room for us and our stuff. We had breakfast every day delivered to us by the pool. The water was warm and inviting and the complimentary sunscreen was a nice touch. If we're ever in Fort Lauderdale again, I'm sure this is the place we'll stay."

"This is an excellent Inn, I don’t know where to begin. Extremely clean, quiet, perfect location for everything Wilton Manors has to offer. So many bars and clubs within 2 blocks! Mike is an extremely gracious host. New to the area, he took extra time to orient me to the area and offer recommendations. He personally walked me to the room to assure all was in order.. The pool area is private and very clean. The room is well appointed. Oversized shower, large bath area, and a small but efficient kitchenette area. The bed was SO comfortable with lots of pillows. The other owner, Jim, is just as warm and caring. So wonderful you may not want to leave the property!"

"This is the ONLY place to stay when in Wilton Manors! Villas are modern, extremely clean, well decorated, spacious & who can beat the salt water pools! The location is absolutely PERFECT for all the hot spots. Mike & Jim were absolutely the best! Their warmth, friendliness, attention to clients needs, extreme professionalism & always being available for assistance 24/7 was priceless. Mike told us all the best places to go & he was right! Had an OUTSTANDING experience & will ONLY stay here when I return. Thank you for making our vacation awesome!"
