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 ).

    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!!

    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.

    So quite easy to walk to ice cream shop and Wickies Lighthouse Restaurant. We love the layout and being able to set out back and look at the star. Free bike and cart for the beach. A

    We three ladies had a great time shelling, eating, and the Cocatoo cottage was clean and had everything we need. Note-one of the beach chairs was broken.

    Loved that it was a 'hotel room' free standing! Very close walk to wonderful beach and coffee shop and restaurant! Was a great way to re-connect with our wonderful Sanibel Island Zen.

    We came back to find a strange man in our room looking under our bed! Claimed to be looking for broken bed!? Not a pleasant surprise . Not a single washing machine working. We were here 4 nights and were given 2 washcloths! Unreal! Can't even wash them because washers broken! Only 1 trash bag given too. No pans for use in the oven for baking, no knife to cut with etc. this was definately NOT worth the money paid and now you have the nerve to ask us to do your job? We will take care of what we need to but we will never be back .

    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. :)

    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.
