Hidden gem of Sanibel

Good communication, great location, private and clean. We never left the island! Enjoyed using the bikes and private beach access. Close to all restaurants but in a residential like setting. Would highly recommend this cute cottage. Would definitely return.

Great Trip

Only stayed for a few days but didn't want to leave. The cottage was very nice for the two of us, just the right size and the walk to the beach was not a problem. We did not drive (and use the beach pass) and walked it twice a day. Everything about the stay was fabulous and the beach was amazing (shells, Shells and MORE SHELLS) and there was almost no one there. We walked for miles along the beach and saw, at most, maybe 20 other people.

Perfect!

Our family of 4 thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Periwinkle Cottages. Our cottage was clean and stocked with everything we needed. It was just the right size, with plenty of closet and drawer space. The location was perfect for us, quiet, but on the bike path. Kim, the Manager was wonderful. She was easily accessible and so sweet. We loved having access to bikes!

40th Wedding Anniversary trip

My husband and I stayed mid-March for 7 days. The weather cooperated and it was sunny and mid-70’s all week! The Ibis cottage was perfect for the two of us and it was far enough away from the commerce area that it was peaceful and quiet. We never ran out of activities and excursions mixed in with beach days. It was very helpful to have the Tradewinds beach available as all the other beaches were challenging to find parking. If there was any downside to our stay it was the lack of laundry facilities at the cottage and none at all on the island. We definitely will recommend to others and would stay again in the future.

The Perfect Getaway

My two daughters and I desperately needed to get away from everything COVID. This sweet little cottage was the perfect place to forget about the world!!! It was so clean and cozy!!! It had everything we could have asked for!! The beach was just a short 5 minute walk and the wagons they had for us to use were so helpful! It was a dream trip!!! Anytime we come to Sanibel this will always be our first choice!!!

Perfect quiet getaway

Title: Relaxing Getaway with Private Beach Access I recently stayed this property that exceeded all my expectations. The property, was immaculately clean and provided a quiet and peaceful retreat. One of the highlights of the rental was the access to a private beach at the end of the road, which offered a serene and secluded spot to unwind and enjoy the sun and sunsets. Additionally, the inclusion of free bikes added an extra layer of enjoyment to the stay. Exploring the surrounding area on the bikes was a fantastic way to take in the beautiful scenery and get some exercise. Overall, my experience at this rental was superb. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway with convenient access to a private beach and the added bonus of free bikes for exploring the area. The peaceful ambiance of the property made for a truly memorable stay.

Comfortable accommodations

We enjoyed our stay and appreciated the attention to keeping pests away. My only complaint is the lack of kitchen items. This place is really for those who plan to eat most of their meals out. I had to purchase coffee filters, salt & pepper and had to request a cheese grater and cutting board. The manager did send a cheese grater and a couple cutting boards which was much appreciated. Fortunately, one of the other rentals shared their knives and a cutting board with us while we waited for our own.

Hello. I need to inform you that this property was grossly misrepresnted and not at all as advertised. There was swamp land and construction all around it. The unit was connected to another unit. So thereby limiting privacy. The beach which was stated as just a few steps away was about a quarter of a Mile away with no real way to use it. It was all mud so there would be no way you could lay out or enjoy it . We were so appalled and disappointed we made the sacrifice of quickly checking into another property on captiva. I understand the no refund policy but I think in a case like this since we never used it there should be some compensation.

good stay

Easy check in process, good Neiborhood, nice to have bikes (although someone needs to grease the chains and wheels), liked the shell washing station. Disappointed with a few items. Stained towels, dirty pullout sofa (its obvious that no one checks this at check out, lots of sand and food crumbs on the mattress), lots of ants in the bathroom and kitchen, along with cockroaches in the kitchen. Ran into the pest control person and he took care of the issue, very thorough no more bugs. The entrance door to the unit is not very secure (someone should look at this. Other than these issues we did have a good stay.

Fantastic value! Location, accommodations, peaceful!

We had an amazing experience in Ibis#3. My 2 friends and I took a “Girls Trip” to Sanibel. Accommodations: Comfy king size bed, crisp linens, brand new hide-a-bed with a very comfy blow-up air mattress. Cute updated decor, apartment-size fridge, plenty big for meals for 3 adults, well-appointed kitchenette w/granite countertop, nice size living area. Easy check-in, new hotel-style air conditioners (not pictured) that kept the unit nice and cold, even in July! Coin laundry on site, grills, everything you need for the beach: chairs, umbrella, shell gear, beach towels, wagons, and more! Check the stash before you buy anything! Location: Quiet neighborhood, we road the free bikes to the beach. The beach access was a little hard to find, tucked in behind the plush foliage on a gravel drive, then down a pathway to park the bikes, and through the dunes to the PRIVATE beach! So amazing! No high rise buildings, just a few private homes in sight far off the shoreline. So private that we were a good 30 ft away from the next beach-goers! We may never go back to a condo beach community again. The cottage is on a quiet main road. Turn left, head to Captiva. Turn right, he’s to Sanibel.-just a few miles either way. Sanibel-what a treasure! So much is preserved like “old Florida.” Quiet, relaxed, no crowds when we were there, we ate dinner around 5:00 each night and never waited for a table. We ate brunch at the Sunset Grill every morning with gulf-view and a breeze (ask for Michelle). The abundance of shells on our private beach exceeded our expectations. Surprises: the exterior needed a good pressure washing and a little paint, but the inside made up for that, and you are on a tropical island, after all, especially for the price!! Shell-cleaning station was cool! Alligator warning signs surprised us, but we never saw an alligator! The cottage was actually a duplex, but did not feel like a duplex, and we did not hear our neighbors from inside. If you are interested in deep-sea fishing or sight-seeing, check out Captain Sean O’Connor at Four Leaf Charter. We shelled one lunched on a private island! So cool! We had ample room for 3 adult besties and, for us, for this price, Periwinkle Cottages was absolutely perfect!!!

Comfortable small bungalow close to the beach

The small cabin is accurately described. Located in the quieter western part of Sanibel Island, it's just off the main road, but an easy long block from the beach. There are numerous free bicycles, first come-first served, which were always available to us when we wanted to visit the beach. By bike it only takes about one minute to get to the private beach entrance. The cabin itself is worn, with some peeling paint, but clean and reasonably well-appointed. The kitchenette has everything you would expect, including some coffee, oil and salt and pepper, but is very minimal otherwise. No dishwasher and a very small oven/stovetop with not much workspace. Does the trick if you are planning to eat a simple breakfast and lunch or get carryout (as we did). The king-sized bed was very comfortable and there were plenty of linens and towels. The bathroom was clean and perfectly serviceable, although hardly luxurious. The only main complaint we had was with the pull-out couch, which had a lumpy, old mattress that had suffered rust stains. It wasn't really inviting and our adult daughter wound up sleeping on the couch itself instead. Not a problem at all if you are just a couple, but do be aware if you are considering the "sleeps 4" claim. The screened porch was very pleasant for eating and the bungalow comes equipped with plenty of beach-related gear. We would definitely stay here again!
