About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Parrot Nest is one of the Old-Sanibel cottages located on the quiet East End of the island. Since 1955, our charming cottages have been welcoming visitors and until the early 1960's they were brought to our shores from the mainland by ferryboat.
Our cottages are newly renovated in a coastal decor offering you epic comfort, relaxation in a beautiful room. We are within walking distance to the historic Sanibel Lighthouse and fishing pier, beautiful shelling beaches, shopping and restaurants.
If you like, use our complimentary bikes and explore miles of paths covering the island and leading to wildlife refuges, kayaking spots, secluded beaches, and meandering past more eateries, shops, and galleries. The Cockatoo cottage is a charming room with a king bed and new daybed ( twin ).

During your stay at this cottage, you're just a quick walk from Sanibel Sea School. The cottage offers free WiFi and a patio.

Everything you need!

Love the low key, down to earth, non-pretentious vibes at this property. Feels like a Sanibel version of a quaint Northwoods cabin. Easy walk or bike to chill shops, restaurants and beaches. Nesting osprey in a tall tree above our unit, lots flowering plants and lizards around the perimeter. We plan to return and tell friends and family. :)

Amazing experience

My fiancé and myself had an amazing time. We did a trip visiting multiple places from key west to Clearwater and having a room with a mini split a/c was the best. The room was extremely clean and had everything we needed. We really enjoyed taking the bikes out to the lighthouse and being in close proximity to all the restaurants and shops. I highly recommend any of the rooms offered at this location.

Great location with comfortable accomodations

We stayed for 4 nights and were there to go shelling on Sanibel Island. The location to Lighthouse Beach was amazing. It was easy to get all around the Islands. The king bed was comfortable while the day bed is a fold away-a little insecure for an adult. We put a suitcase under it for support to make sure we didn't break it. We will return to Parrot Cottages!

Help Unavailable When Needed

Lockbox was extremely old and difficult to use We got locked out of our room in dark ( porch light not working) and tried calling the number on site ( no access to help # as it was in the room) After an hour we had to bang on the box to get it open Never did get it to work correctly Apparently we were calling Kim’s # and mail box was full There’s should have been a return call We nearly called the police as our car keys and pm meds were locked inside

We loved staying at the Parrots Nest, very clean, tropical, the grounds are beautiful, and had everything we needed. So close to the Lighthouse and walking distance to the best little cafe! We ate at the Lighthouse Cafe every morning we were there. Thanks so much!!

Couldn't have been better!

The only issue I had was I couldn't figure out how to stay here forever! Honestly, I felt blessed to have found this place for my short solo get away. The room was perfectly decorated, obviously clean and well stocked with all the essentials. I will be back so if you are looking for a wonderful stay, you will have to reserve around my dates!

Fun trip despite it all...

Our truck died the first night on the property. The location was great because it allowed us to still enjoy the beach, local eats, and some fun by way of walking, the property-owned bicycles, and a few Ubers. The property was clean and updated. I do wish there was a mirror outside the bathroom. Our tween likes to take her time in the bathroom. Also, a few more towels would have been nice. One towel per person for five days is a bit crazy considering south FL weather in July in addition to beach time. The sweet cleaning lady gave us a few more during our stay so that helped. The property itself was great. The communication with the property manager was lacking but I would recommend the property to others.

Great getaway!!!

This is a great location. It's a short bike ride, which they provide, or walk to the beach. Great little restaurant and ice cream shop on the corner. The cottage was very nice and clean. It has everything you need. Also, the property manager called to let me know it was ready for early check in which we really appreciated. We will definitely be back.

Nice quiet place. 7 min walk to the beach but you have a complimentary cart to carry things on the beach or you can use a complimentary bicycle. Cycling around the island was fun too.
