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 Macaw cottage is a charming room with a king bed and new daybed ( twin ) and features a brand new kitchen with granite countertops and new stove.

    Newly remodeled. Clean and fresh, nicely decorated. Very comfortable memory foam mattress. Kitchenette very helpful. Walkable to old lighthouse Beach and to Bay. Very convenient, love that they have complementary bikes to use. My only complaint would be the rather sad bed pillows, because other that that i was totally satisfied.

    Very nice newly renovated unit. Very easy check in process. Good location, lighthouse cafe is less than a block away and beach is a 5 minute walk. Quiet residential part of the island which I prefer. This area of the island is not crowded and the beach is fairly empty. Quiet and relaxing.

    Definitely not walking distance to beach or shops. Shower had mold, floor not so clean. But I guess ok

    We had stayed at this location before, however, it was a different unit. This particular unit can use more counter space. That would be my only complaint. Of course an addition of a pool would be great!

    Our stay was quite enjoyable got to use a golf cart to get around the island easier. The only disappointment was not being able to get on the beach without paying by credit card, last time I did that my card was hacked almost immediately So we didn't get to spend any time on the beaches. That was the only disappointment. Great restaurant right next door though. Hope to return at another time.Thank you,

    The cottage was clean and comfortable. Some hooks to hang towels on would be nice. Also the hoses in the front yard could have been neatly coiled instead of being allbover the yard. We did appreciate the accomodation of an earlier check in. Thank you!IT

    Cute room that had everything we needed. Bikes and beach wagons were a nice addition. Close to lighthouse with good restaurant and ice cream shop across the street. The only negative was that the hot water ran out quickly during showers. Nice to see Sanibel rebounding from the hurricanes.

    Everything was great! Except for the no-see-ems that came out in the evenings. Those bitting little bugs are awful! Bring bug spray or buy some at one of the local shops. The people were friendly. The neighborhood was safe. The food was amazing. Our fav for breakfast was Lighthouse Cafe (especially the mimosas and eggs Benedict). For supper we loved Wickies, Tutti Pazzi and Doc Fords. We never tried Mudbugs, but it looked inviting. We just ran out of time. Doc Fords was the longest bike ride we took and it was very easy. Minimal hills and wide asphalt paths. The only shopping we did was at She Sells Seashells, which had cute local made gifts as well as some mass produced gifts and shells. Shelling at the beach was great too. Bring a container to get them home safely! I will be recommending Sanibel and this cottage to family and friends. Loved every minute of this trip!
