About this property

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 ).

Great location with comfortable accomodations

We stayed for 4 nights and were there to go shelling on Sanibel Island. The location to Lighthouse Beach was amazing. It was easy to get all around the Islands. The king bed was comfortable while the day bed is a fold away-a little insecure for an adult. We put a suitcase under it for support to make sure we didn't break it. We will return to Parrot Cottages!

Help Unavailable When Needed

Lockbox was extremely old and difficult to use We got locked out of our room in dark ( porch light not working) and tried calling the number on site ( no access to help # as it was in the room) After an hour we had to bang on the box to get it open Never did get it to work correctly Apparently we were calling Kim’s # and mail box was full There’s should have been a return call We nearly called the police as our car keys and pm meds were locked inside
