Macaw cottage, newly remodeled, walking distance to beach, shops, restaurants!
About this cottage rental
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 Macaw cottage is a charming room with a king bed and new daybed ( twin ) and features a brand new kitchen with granite countertops and new stove.

Perfect setting for my yearly getaway

Newly remodeled. Clean and fresh, nicely decorated. Very comfortable memory foam mattress. Kitchenette very helpful. Walkable to old lighthouse Beach and to Bay. Very convenient, love that they have complementary bikes to use. My only complaint would be the rather sad bed pillows, because other that that i was totally satisfied.

We enjoyed our stay at Macaw cottage, free bikes to use and the Lighthouse Beach is just a short bike ride away, we shelled everyday and the cottage was large enough for 3 of us easily , wonderful shopping area in the same block, some of the best on Sanibel Island. We will be staying here again !!

My sons (7 and 14) and I were looking for a place to visit in Sanibel knowing that many of the gulf-side locations were under construction and chose to try the Parrots Nest Cottages. I was pleasantly surprised at this fantastic location that was walkable to the beach and had everything we needed to relax for a few days over Thanksgiving break. The kitchen had what we needed and having bikes and beach wagons and chairs was a great convenience. This was an adorable property and just right for the 3 of us.

These units are in a great location. Having complimentary bikes was the best. We didn’t have sheets for the daybed. I called breakaway to ask for them and did not ever get them. I sent the owner a question and they never responded

The Macaw efficiency cottage was immaculate and really comfortable for us. The surrounding property was quiet and is close to the Lighthouse Cafe, very popular for breakfast. It was a great place to stay on our first visit to the island.

I wife and I had a great time for the two day stay that we had. Nice location down by the lighthouse with a nice restaurant within walking distance for meals. It was also really nice to have bikes that you did not have to rent but could use free of charge.

Very nice newly renovated unit. Very easy check in process. Good location, lighthouse cafe is less than a block away and beach is a 5 minute walk. Quiet residential part of the island which I prefer. This area of the island is not crowded and the beach is fairly empty. Quiet and relaxing.

The property was lovely and in a peaceful location close to nature. I only wish we had better understood the access to the beach though. We were physically unable to walk the distance to the beach from the cottage. Parking was not available there either so we ended up driving to the beach at the lighthouse but there are rip currents in the water so actually nothing beach wise was actually acceptable for physically disabled.

This cute little group of cottages is perfectly situated near Lighthouse Beach. The owners have thought of everything to make your visit to the island enjoyable! Communication was great, the contactless check-in made it super convenient, and all of the extras (there are bikes you can borrow, wagons to transport your things to the beach, beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers) made our stay perfect. You'll get lots of really great insights about where to get the best meal and where to find groceries, etc. Initially my husband and I rented a big fancy condo in Treasure Island for the week, but were extremely bummed out to find that the red tide was turning the shoreline there into a gross and stinky fish graveyard. We drove down to Sanibel on our second day to get away from it (all I wanted to do was swim in the ocean!) and absolutely fell in love. I was lucky enough to book this cottage for an overnight a couple of days later so we could spend more time on Sanibel. I wish we would have booked this place for our entire trip!! We certainly will in the future. The cottage was adorable on the inside, and super clean. It's steps away from some cute souvenir shops, a breakfast and lunch cafe, and an ice cream and coffee shop. The best thing ever was riding the bikes on the short and beautiful (everything is so green!! Sanibel feels like a small town, not a tourist trap) bike path to the beach to catch the sunrise. It was seriously magical and I can't wait to go back!

We enjoyed our stay. The Cottage was very clean and the location was perfect. We loved being able to bike everywhere. The bikes could use some maintenance but I imagine the sand and salt can be hard on the chains, etc.
