Newly remodeled Parakeet cottage! Walking distance to beach, restaurants, shops!

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 Parakeet cottage is a charming one room with a queen and features a private patio with an outdoor dining table, chairs and umbrella.

We chose Sanibel for our 40th Anniversary trip and we were so happy to find your little cottage. It was perfect for the two of us. Thank you for all the shells that we found on your beautiful beaches! The people on the island were friendly and the restaurants were delicious!

Perfect efficiency cottage, that provides beach essentials.
The Parakeet cottage # 6 provided all the essentials for a quick get away to decompress for myself and the hubby. Providing bikes and beach carts is genius!

Parakeet Cottage #6
My husband and I booked this property very last minute. In preparation for the one-night stay, I was reading all of the reviews I could find online and ran across one from just one month previous, which was very negative. I emailed the property manager with my concern and she responded immediately. The small, efficiency cottage was just what we needed for our brief stay. We used the bicycles provided to explore the entire island, biking 25 miles total. This is perfect for an island getaway where you spend most of your time outdoors. My only feedback would be that the bed wasn’t very comfortable. We would not have been happy spending more than one night in it, but…we are also spoiled by our Tempur-pedic mattress at home. Everything was clean and we walked to breakfast at the Lighthouse Cafe in the morning.

This place was spic and span clean.
Clean house, close walk to the beach. What would have made it great would be to replace the dresser with a couch. No where comfortable to sit. And a few more dishes in kitchen would be nice. But overall good experience

This was just a quick weekend with some friends but I am already planning my next trip. The location is perfect. The Bikes, Chairs and other beach amenities were great to have and in amazing condition. The property management company is easy to work with and very responsive to questions. This is a great little cottage getaway.

Parrots Nest Parakeet #6
This cottage is adorable. Exactly how the pics portray it. Small, tastefully decorated, kitchen stocked for 2, comfortable bed, all we needed for our stay! We chose this to be close to our kids staying in a beachside condo. It was in walking distance to them, the beach, lighthouse cafe(great breakfasts). Great find, would highly recommend!

We’ll Be Back
30th Anniversary getaway was awesome. We arrived to a clean room, ready to receive us. The Parakeet Suite (cottage #6) was perfect for us. It was quaint but had plenty of room. The Sanibel location was close to great eateries, ice cream, and the beach. It was only a short 5 minute drive to other great restaurants of all types. Sanibel Island’s residents and shop keepers are friendly and were glad to help us with our questions about what to see or where to eat. We’ll be back.

This was a very nice cottage for 2 people. There were bikes, beach chairs and beach umbrellas for you to use for free. It was only a short walk to Lighthouse Beach. Would definitely stay here again. I didn’t want to leave.

Small Cottage - Not for me
Pros: Small, quant, stand alone cottage, comfortable bed, strong hot water pressure shower, large refrigerator, quiet complex, owner very responsive to issues, nice A/C. Cons: No WIFI, very outdated tiny, tiny bathroom, small tv unable to see from bed, no ice maker, sand ants in kitchen, toiletries limited, dirty dishes in kitchen. No local access to beach. If you only need a great shower and bed, this is the place for you. I was looking for higher end accommodations. We would not rebook this cottage.

Not actually on Pensacola Beach area!
I looked up on vrbo Pensacola Beach rentals and this Is what came up. I booked and thought everything was good to go, sadly this is not the case. I lost hundreds of dollars by booking this as it's non-refundable. The management company was nice and said she would get back to me to see if there was anything she could do, but received no reply. I paid alot for this to be listed in the wrong place by vrbo, and didn't even get to stay here as it was too far down south, Renter beware.
