About this property

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!

Close to the beach this beautiful little cottage was modern and fresh. Just a stones throw from a parade of shops which included a lovely restaurant which we ate at twice. Food was amazing

Quiet get away

Loved being able to walk to the beach, shopping and food. Could use a few more kitchen items for cooking and baking, but is an excellent location, very quiet, and the perfect size for 1-2 people.

5 night Sanibel retreat

We loved the location! The wagons, beach chairs and bikes were much appreciated. We used them daily. The only things we needed were a blow dryer and some shelves in the bathroom around the sink and in the shower.

Beyond Expectations

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

Great little place!

We enjoyed our visit. Clean, light, inviting, and conveniently located. Could use a few more kitchen utencils. We love to cook...and felt a little limited in preparing meals! Sanibel Island is such a magical place...We will always return...again and again!

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.

Amazing

Stayed here for our 25th anniversary. The location is absolutely perfect! The unit is clean and updated. Full kitchen and outdoor gas grill. Bring your own dish detergent and you can use a soap holder in the shower. Other than that absolute perfection 😁

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.

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.

The property was amazing! Very clean and has everything you need for a stay. The pullout couch was even comfortable. The location was ideal being that you can walk to the beach. Which is a must because parking on Sanibel is impossible. The bikes were fantastic! The fact that you did not need a key or key card to get into the unit was really nice. One less thing to have to carry around and potentially lose. The ice cream shop next door was great as well as the bagel sub shop next door as well! Excellent location!

Great location for our needs! Very quiet neighborhood. Clean spacious rooms (lovebirds). Bathroom a little tight but no complaints for us. Propery is very cute. Would be great to have friends in other rooms! Bikes are convenient for a quick or longer ride. Wiki’s walkable for meals with Ice cream place next door. Check in instructions were easy to follow even getting in late. Would definitely stay again.

Really enjoyed our stay at Lovebirds #5! Spacious efficiency room with lots of extras. Laundry facilities on property, beach combing accessories, and bikes available for cruising around Sanibel.
