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

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.

Cute and Quiet, fully equipt for a beach day, or a little bike ride.

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 :)

Great little cottage near Lighthouse Beach
10.0 / 10.0
The cottage is cute and clean. Bed was very comfortable! We enjoyed the general area and ease of getting to areas of interest. Nice restaurants and shops nearby, but not close enough (for us) to walk. The beach is a 2 min drive away, so convenient.
We will be back!

This little cottage had everything we needed for our stay. It is in the perfect location on Sanibel Island as well. We used the complimentary bikes to ride around, got to know the island and visit the beaches. I highly recommend this little gem. The restaurants and stores nearby also do not disappoint. I highly recommend and will stay here again!

We chose Sanibel for our 40th Anniversary trip and we were so happy to find your little cottage. It was perfect for the two of us. Thank you for all the shells that we found on your beautiful beaches! The people on the island were friendly and the restaurants were delicious!

The Parakeet cottage # 6 provided all the essentials for a quick get away to decompress for myself and the hubby. Providing bikes and beach carts is genius!

Parakeet Cottage #6
My husband and I booked this property very last minute. In preparation for the one-night stay, I was reading all of the reviews I could find online and ran across one from just one month previous, which was very negative. I emailed the property manager with my concern and she responded immediately. The small, efficiency cottage was just what we needed for our brief stay. We used the bicycles provided to explore the entire island, biking 25 miles total. This is perfect for an island getaway where you spend most of your time outdoors. My only feedback would be that the bed wasn’t very comfortable. We would not have been happy spending more than one night in it, but…we are also spoiled by our Tempur-pedic mattress at home. Everything was clean and we walked to breakfast at the Lighthouse Cafe in the morning.
6.0 / 10.0
This place was spic and span clean.
Clean house, close walk to the beach. What would have made it great would be to replace the dresser with a couch. No where comfortable to sit. And a few more dishes in kitchen would be nice. But overall good experience

Perfect Cottage
This was just a quick weekend with some friends but I am already planning my next trip. The location is perfect. The Bikes, Chairs and other beach amenities were great to have and in amazing condition. The property management company is easy to work with and very responsive to questions. This is a great little cottage getaway.

Parrots Nest Parakeet #6
This cottage is adorable. Exactly how the pics portray it. Small, tastefully decorated, kitchen stocked for 2, comfortable bed, all we needed for our stay! We chose this to be close to our kids staying in a beachside condo. It was in walking distance to them, the beach, lighthouse cafe(great breakfasts). Great find, would highly recommend!

Great short stay!
Lovely little location and property. Just as the listing posted. Perfect for us!
We didn’t drive the car once for the 3 days we were there. So convenient to ride bikes( provided on property) everywhere we went.

Great getaway!
Sanibel is an amazing vacation location. I loved the location of the cottage and that bikes were included. We rode all over the island. We had a question when we arrived, and the host immediately got back to us. Great experience!

We’ll Be Back
30th Anniversary getaway was awesome. We arrived to a clean room, ready to receive us. The Parakeet Suite (cottage #6) was perfect for us. It was quaint but had plenty of room.
The Sanibel location was close to great eateries, ice cream, and the beach. It was only a short 5 minute drive to other great restaurants of all types.
Sanibel Island’s residents and shop keepers are friendly and were glad to help us with our questions about what to see or where to eat.
We’ll be back.

Nice cottage and a quiet atmosphere
This was a very nice cottage for 2 people. There were bikes, beach chairs and beach umbrellas for you to use for free. It was only a short walk to Lighthouse Beach. Would definitely stay here again. I didn’t want to leave.

Small Cottage - Not for me
Pros: Small, quant, stand alone cottage, comfortable bed, strong hot water pressure shower, large refrigerator, quiet complex, owner very responsive to issues, nice A/C.
Cons: No WIFI, very outdated tiny, tiny bathroom, small tv unable to see from bed, no ice maker, sand ants in kitchen, toiletries limited, dirty dishes in kitchen. No local access to beach. If you only need a great shower and bed, this is the place for you. I was looking for higher end accommodations.
We would not rebook this cottage.

Anniversary Trip
My husband and I had the best time in Sanibel! This little cottage/condo was in a great location. Just a short walk or bike ride to the beach right across the street! Very quiet and clean. We will be coming back!

Ok for the price
The knock at the door from the exterminator 2 hrs after we were texted that are room was ready was a bit off putting, no bugs, needs a recycling bin, bathroom was tiny .
It was a quiet place and a quick walk to the beach

Not actually on Pensacola Beach area!
I looked up on vrbo Pensacola Beach rentals and this Is what came up. I booked and thought everything was good to go, sadly this is not the case. I lost hundreds of dollars by booking this as it's non-refundable. The management company was nice and said she would get back to me to see if there was anything she could do, but received no reply. I paid alot for this to be listed in the wrong place by vrbo, and didn't even get to stay here as it was too far down south, Renter beware.

Just what we needed
The cottage was very clean, private, quiet area, access to the nice beach was a very short walk, Lighthouse Cafe restaurant next door was awesome. Communication with Mgr. Kim was exceptional. We really appreciated being called to enjoy the cottage 4 hours earlier than the 4pm check-in!!!

Nice and easy
It was a great little space with easy access to the beach. The check in process was super easy. The cottage itself was exactly as described. It was very clean and mostly updated inside. The bikes, umbrellas, beach chairs, and wagons that were provided we’re very useful. It’s nice to be on the east end of Sanibel too, a little less traffic flow.
