We couldn't capture the feeling of the warm sand between your toes, the light scent of salt on the breeze, or the sound of the surf and sea birds in a photo so you'll have to use your imagination a bit.

Testimonials

Some of our guests share how they feel after their Florida beachfront vacation at the Sunburst Inn.

Paradise

If you are looking for a place that earns the title: The Perfect Vacation Spot! you have found it at the Sun Burst Inn. Elise and Laura (and the rest of the staff) become part of your experience, we feel like we are on Holiday with family! Accomodations are clean, cute as a button, handy to area activities and best of all the beach is outside your door! Thank you…can’t wait to get back…see you soon.

Pleasant Surprise

Stayed one night last week, booked at the last minute, while driving past it. Friendly owners , very clean, comfortable beds. Can’t get any closer to the beach than this . Kitchen stocked well. Was offered beach towels which was a huge plus, and they also have hair dyers . This is not the Ritz folks, so if you are looking for that keep moving. If you are looking for friendly atmosphere , clean and a good price , this is the place for you . Sad we couldn’t get another night or two and we missed the Sunday BBQ : ) . Old Florida atmosphere , that brings back childhood memories for sure .

I Wanna Go Back!

This was our fourth visit to Sun Burst and, again, was absolutely wonderful. Michael and Marilyn were the perfect hosts. I am so glad they took this little” heaven on earth” spot back from those nasty English owners. Thank you for making the entire place pet friendly. AYou can not find a better spot than this one to vacation, whether it’s for a night or for a month. It is clean, tastefully decorated and the view is spectacular. We are going back for three weeks in December and four weeks in May!!

Nice Family Hotel on the Beach

We are from the Orlando area and wanted to stay on the gulf. After looking for a pet friendly hotel we found the Sun Burst Inn the most reasonable. We were surprised that the hotel was clean and had a very friendly staff. We will definitely return at a later date.

Great Beach Hotel

We had a great time at the Sun Burst Inn in Indian Shore this weekend. The room had everything you could ask for from pots, pans, dishes even the paper towels! Great location right on the beach and across the street from a great bar called Mahoppers. They provided beach chairs, umbrellas, BBQ grill etc. The bar had two live bands playing inside and outside! The owners were very nice and fun people and we will be going back soon with friends! Great place on beach!

Wonderfully Pet Friendly

Our one night stay was wonderful, as we traveled with the dog to a beach wedding. The room was very clean, fully of great storage with a nice kitchen and living area. The hotel manager was very nice and accommodating. Hotel was very quiet and welcoming to our dog. Great place… Enjoy your stay.

Amazing Property

As a lifelong resident of Hawaii I know a little bit about good hotels and beaches. That said Sun Burst Inn is a GEM. It fills me with all the good feelings of my childhood staying at a friend’s beach house on the North Shore of Oahu. The rooms are neat and tidy and the smell and sounds of the ocean are intoxicating and vital for someone like me. Marilyn and Michael Grimes are wonderful people and they know how to make guests feel welcom. Aloha!
