Macaw cottage, newly remodeled, walking distance to beach, shops, restaurants!

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.

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.

Great Cottage
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 !!

Perfect Location & Charming Cottage
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.

Cool little place
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
