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 Parakeet cottage is a charming one room with a queen and features a private patio with an outdoor dining table, chairs and umbrella.

Excellent location to beach, tiny, clean and cozy, great for 2 people, the free bike and beach accessories are a plus. Would stay again.Side note: if small critters freak you out, may give a second thought. Lots of lizards, frogs, and even iguanas. I thought they were cool but just FYI Only draw back is the kitchen is beyond bare minimum.

Short Stay

The property was just as expected, Our stay was great, it’s with in walking distance to shops and a restaurant, The last night a storm came thru, the power went out, ok I’m a Floridian this happens!!! Well everyone had power but us!! The maintenance lady said “you are on an island it happens it will be on shortly it was 10:30!! !! It didn’t come back at all she never responded or had anyone else!! Disappointing,I left several messages after, not till the next morning at 9 did anyone call me and apologized and offered a free day when we come back!!!

Sanibel Dreams come True

This little cottage was very quaint, perfect for a quick girl's getaway. Situated in close walking distance to Lighthouse Beach, small shops and places to eat. I much rather prefer little places like this, that have all the basics of a low key but enjoyable area. It was just what we needed to enjoy all Sanibel has to offer.

Parakeet

The cottage was impeccably clean! Appreciated all the renovations. The young couple managing the place could not have been more helpful. They went out of their way to help me when I needed it. The bikes need maintenance - rusty chains, wobbly handle bars, breaks that freeze up. You could use some more kitchen tools. I was glad to have the kitchen as parking at the beaches cost so much money! Thank you, great stay. Grey

Lovely, quiet cottage near beach

Clean, cute cottage in close proximity to others but still very quiet and private. Easy walk to beach. Nice supply of beach stuff. Kitchen was adequately equipped with dishes but very little cookware. Some cooking utensils and bakeware would be a great addition, along with additional pots. Couldn’t take advantage of the stove.

Great little spot

We loved the east end of Sanibel and this place was just right. Great communication and cute little place in a great spot. We loved Wikies and all shops just a three minute walk away, as well as how quiet the area was. Lighthouse beach was easy, especially with the bikes. Buy/bring bug spray for calm wind days but overall it was wonderful.

Parrots nest

The place was great. Only negatives were an uncomfortable mattress,it wanted to curl up on the edges as we moved around, and you had to stand strategically in the shower to keep water off the floor from the gap in the door.

Clean and great location.

This was a great location, 15 minute walk to the Lighthouse beach. Near coffee/ice cream and our favorite restaurant Grandma Dot’s. The bed was comfortable. It was also very clean. Our only complaints were the laundry wasn’t working and the kitchen supplies could have been better. We would stay here again for sure.

Do it!

If you’re thinking about staying here, do it. It’s such a fantastic property, close to everything, and the staff are all so friendly. Take it from us though: walk around the property! They have a ton of beach stuff that we didn’t see until we were leaving, lol. Great stay and can’t wait to come back :)
