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 Lovebirds cottage is our largest cottage featuring a king bed and a daybed ( twin ), large outdoor private patio with lounge chairs, outdoor table and chairs for epic relaxation!

    Only thing I didn't like was that the water in the shower started getting cold pretty quickly. Otherwise, everything was great! Specifically the customer service! I talked on the phone with Paige with Breakaway Vacations multiple times and she was incredibly friendly and helpful!

    Close to the beach this beautiful little cottage was modern and fresh. Just a stones throw from a parade of shops which included a lovely restaurant which we ate at twice. Food was amazing

    Lovely, quiet property. Very clean and easily accessible. Just a tad difficult in using the t.v., hard to figure out. The communication was good for the most part and we were able to check in early. Truly enjoyed our stay. .

    It was very cozy and we loved the big bed to sprawl out on. Having bikes available was a huge plus.

    Fantastic little cottage. Just the right amount of space for a quick get away for two. Complimentary bikes and beach chairs were great amenities. Highly recommend. Would absolutely stay here again.

    Check in procedure needs revising. Procedure says to operate TV use the cable remote. Well, that did not work, only to find out that cable was discontinued only Roku. The facility was clean and spacious. The shower did not have a grab bar or shelf. That's and accident waiting to happen. The kitchen very nice to look at but forget about cooking. Utensils are lacking, no broiler pan, no paring knife, one small pot and a skillet. Don't advertise and efficiency if the kitchen is for show. Had to purchase a lighter to light the grill, the auto starter does not work. Utensils lacking.

    Cute efficiency unit, very clean and newer kitchen and bath. Bikes were great to get to Lighthouse Beach, helpful to have coin laundry. As stated in other reviews- missing items for oven cooking. Could use a rack/stand in the shower. Very close to a restaurant, ice cream and deli. Great for a beach getaway. Owners left a list of recommendations for places to go, which was helpful.

    The property was clean and in a nice location. The walk to the beach and to pathways throughout the island was short and pleasant.However, in general the place had a cheap feel. The walls were thin and we frequently heard normal conversation, televisions etc. from adjoining units. The kitchen was poorly equipped with essentially zero counter space. I have never stayed in a vacation rental with a more poorly equipped kitchen. There was one clothes washer for the entire complex and it was only to be used in the evening. This was impractical and inconvenient. The property manager was not responsive to a request about a non-functioning exhaust fan in the bathroom or a simple request to supply a basin and drying rack to wash dishes in the kitchen. Overall, Lovebirds was not worth the price. The value was sub-par.

    We got to our unit after 8:00pm to find NO window coverings on any of the windows! If you look at the pictures of our cottage The Parrot Nest, Cottage #5 (Lovebirds) it clearly shows window coverings!! We did not feel comfortable staying there so we left and got a hotel and now property management refused to discuss this logically and just simply says we cannot have a refund!! Very disappointed!! This ALL has been expressed to VRBO as well !

    Great location and very comfortable cottage, but kitchen equipment almost non existent. We didn’t need to use the enormous oven but no oven ware at all if we did. Very little workspace due to unnecessarily huge oven and sink. Outside space was nice but was in full sun with no shade at all so we couldn’t use it. Bed was great but bathroom tiny and could do with a shelf and a shower gel holder.

    Loved being able to walk to the beach, shopping and food. Could use a few more kitchen items for cooking and baking, but is an excellent location, very quiet, and the perfect size for 1-2 people.

    Nicely located close to the beach & a super ice cream shop! The next door plaza also had the best shopping we found on the Island. Our accommodations exceeded expectations with nice wine glasses,dishware,beach chairs & even a Kurig Coffee Maker. The beach towels seemed new
