About this property
Captain Ed's Cottage at Palmview Inn of Sanibel
Summary:
Welcome to Captain Ed's, a beautifully appointed studio cottage located in the newly renovated, Palmview Inn! The cottage features a king bed, a sleeper sofa, a full bathroom and a comprehensive kitchenette featuring a fully equipped inventory. Festooned with gorgeous palm trees and an ever present ocean breeze, Palmview Inn has been the choice of many travelers year after year. Close to beaches, dining and shopping, this property boasts one of the best locations on the island.
The Space:
Captain Ed's is one of 6 cottages within the historic Palmview of Sanibel, each one beautifully appointed with a distinct theme. The Palmview Inn offers vibrant fully equipped cottages within walking distance to Sanibel’s famous shelling beaches and the Gulf of Mexico. Complimentary adult bikes and beach equipment are provided to explore the nearby bike paths, or to enjoy a day at the beach full of fun under the sun.
We are pet friendly for up to two dogs up to 50lbs each. If you will be traveling with pets please notify us after confirming your booking so that we can update your reservation accordingly. Per pet fee of $75 will apply.
Guest Access:
Guests enjoy free access to our Gigabit mesh internet service, bikes, beach gear, grill and cooking area as well as a communal laundry room. Experience beautiful, lush grounds with colorful vegetation and multiple outdoor private seating areas, including a Tiki hut, hammock, and dining tables with large shades.
The Neighborhood:
The cottage is situated on the desirable East End of Sanibel, which is equidistant to almost every sought after beach on Sanibel. You will be near restaurants, shopping, and activity, while still far enough removed to be reminded that you are on vacation and provided ample opportunity to socially distance away from the hustle bustle that can characterize island life. This location is also advantageous in that it provides quick on and off access to the causeway, as to allow guests a quick commute into and from Fort Myers without having to contest with seasonal traffic.
Other Things to Note:
Guests must complete rental agreement prior to the stay.
A non-refundable cancellation fee of $100 will apply for reservations cancelled prior to the cancellation policy window. This fee covers our credit card processing fees on a refunded deposit payment.
Interaction with Guests:
We are available on site for any needs the guest may have, large or small.
