The Lovebird-sleeps 3! Great value on Sanibel-walk to dining, shops and Historic East End Lighthouse

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!

Clean, great location, small but perfect for a couple
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.

LoveBird Stay
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.

Not as advertised
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 !

Cute cottage
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.

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

Parrot's Nest was a wonderful base from Which to explore Sanibel. It was only a10 to 15 minute walk to the gulf side beach. Our unit was spacious, well equipped,and tastefully decorated. With a comfortable bed. What more could you ask for??? We loved it

A cute little cabin island cottage.
Nice little property. The communal bikes and proximity to the beach were what hooked me. It’s not fancy. They lean into the fact that’s it’s dated and simple. I loved it. I’d dare say it’s kitschy. If you want the most modern amenities or to be where action is it’s probably not right for you. If you want a quiet experience away from the crowds it’s absolutely lovely. Cell service was spotty for me and the shared unsecured network was slow to the point of not working at at times. Just a heads up if you need to work remotely or need constant internet access. We loved it! We’ll be back.

Property looks as noted in the summary. Bathroom was NOT renovated, with leaking faucet and dust on the ceiling light. Kitchen was adequate for a weekend but no stove (heating elements). Property is well maintained with plenty of bikes and carts for use.
