Islander Trading Post

Got a whole lot of neat stuff if you're collecting stuff they got pretty much every category I didn't see a bathroom it's a lot of dust but it's really really neat there's way more stuff in there than you could even imagine it was a really enjoyable time highly recommend it

Most Beautifully curated antique store in Florida playing vintage music! I don’t understand the other reviews always treated to a wonderful experience! My guess would be that shopping Etiquette in their home/ shop was not followed... some of the public behave in a rude fashion in antique/ collectible shops..bad behavior would not be acceptable at Macy’s or another retailer it should not be acceptable here ! I believe also there is a great deal of theft and that becomes tiresome for the couple. My husband and I have been coming here for years and this place e is aTreasure !! It’s the gateway to this gorgeous island Nantucket of Florida pristine beaches excellent food ! THIS IS NOT FORT MYERS ! It’s casual but chic ... put a shirt on keep your voice at an acceptable level ! It’s amazing to me that people try to pull of classless behavior .... just stay in Fort Myers if you can’t Distinguish between a World class beach destinations and the rest of Florida ! I have noticed here there aren’t many Rental folk... this is a high end island of professionals and college educated home owners ... not a party place! Most of the land is in conservation and they don’t even have street lights! Sanibel has the only Blue Ribbon school in Florida school are Notoriously very bad in Florida! Sanibel always makes the list as a top place to live ... the people here have earned their Peace and quiet be respectful! and don’t steal! Not Walmart nation ! Oh and enjoy this amazing shop ..also ask about the island because I believe this couple can tell you all about the Real Sanibel that most tourist miss out on ... Especially The places where the Islanders Eat !!!!

Been visiting the Trading Post for years. There is literally something here for everyone. And ever changing selection of old and vintage goodies. Stop in and see what you can find.

I love exploring thrift shops. Sanibel Island doesn't seem to have any thrift shops, but they did have this -- the Islander Trading Post Antiques. When you step inside, it is almost overwhelming how every nook and cranny is jammed full of old stuff but good looking old stuff. It was very pricey -- I couldn't afford anything, including the small back room that has reproductions were pricey -- but it was a not of fun exploring and seeing so many cool old things, and having them bring back memories of my very young childhood. If I ever win the lottery, I will be back!

Pricey antique shop in the middle of nowhere. Nervous impatience owner who watches you every step you take. Very funny. Great selection of can, toys, signs, records, bottles n much more.

Visited this little antique shop enough times that I'm on first name basis with princess Diana. Great items and very good prices. I'll be back.

Bought some beautiful stuff here and they had half off discounts in the shop. Many amazing antiques, it felt like a museum! Will come back again

Store is essentially a look don’t touch if you want to buy it then pay us double it’s value. A stained WW2 German party flag that you can get for $250? Nah $800. Owner is rather unpleasant to talk to and the female was nice but seemed impatient if you decide you want to take a closer look at items in a case. The store is filled with a great assortment of relics and items. You could honestly spend hours looking through every nook and cranny. With this being the only store on the island with the next ones being around 45 minutes away, it’s a shame it’s another one owned by an older couple who just want people to look at their stuff. If your like me and want to go hunting for militaria then honestly avoid it. Lots of things in the store are a little overpriced but not to unreasonable, that is for everything except militaria. The owner knows what he has and isn’t afraid to make prices worse than eBay. You would honestly get better prices for militaria buying from private sellers off Facebook The two stars was for the store being like a small time capsule on an island. A true treasure trove of antiques. The lack of more stars is due to my interactions with the owner and the prices being high. However in the end it is up to you, you could have a great time and have true conversations with the owner like my grandfather did, or you could have a not so pleasant one like I did.

Fun antique store filled with treasures galore. Shockingly large. Highly recommend checking out all the drawers so you don't miss anything.

My husband and I decided to stay on the island for a romantic night away together something we haven’t done in over 15 years. We’re locals but work 7 days a week. We decided to visit this store because I absolutely love antiques yet never have the opportunity to actually go in and look. I was so excited. All week I waited for this day to come because I knew exactly what I wanted to do. Go antiquing. I found two boxes full of antique kitchen gadgets, all thrown in together, one on top of another. This was like Christmas! I sat down on the dirty floor I didn’t care because this was the one thing i wanted to do, and began to go through each one. As I picked them up, one by one, carefully evaluating each item, I decided I was just going to purchase both boxes but was too excited and was having so much fun going through them. We were then scolded by the male owner for merely touching them as “we could scratch them” Nevermind the fact that they were literally thrown in these boxes and crammed together. But god forbid I touch them because my hands could scratch them. Very rude and BIG mistake! I was going to buy all of them! We are now heading to the next antique store and hope to be treated better there. I’m going to have a lot of fun spending a lot of money, but it will never be here!
