Newly remodeled Parrot Nest Toucan Cottage! Walk 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 Toucan cottage is a charming room with a king bed and a kitchen with two burner cooktop and beautiful outdoor private patio with a table and chairs.

The cottage is air-conditioned and features a patio and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a microwave, and a refrigerator.

Nice little place to stay for a few days and close to everything. The place was ready early which was nice as we only live a few hours away. The downside was the cleanliness. The floor had dirt and sand everywhere. The bathroom floor and shower floor/walls were not cleaned as bugs and hair were on the bathroom and shower floors. Stove had grease under the burners and was not cleaned. This was very disappointing so we ended up cleaning the place for our stay the way it should have been.

Nice Quiet little spot

We liked the location, is was relatively quiet, it was big enough for our needs, decent size shower as well. The A/C kept the room nice and cold even though we had some really hot days while we were there If I had one complaint it would be the bed, it had to be the softest bed in the world, we would sink into it to the point it was hard to get out. Beds like that are not good on backs. Another minor complaint would be the TV size, it's about 19" across a large room, wasn't a big deal since we are mostly outside but at night it would have been nice when we are falling asleep to a movie.

Toucan Cottage

Loved it. Rode bikes, only found two with air, but that is all we needed. Bathroom door would not close, needed planing. Kitchen cabinets had no handles, but I figured with a stove there had to be pots and pans and I opened from bottom. This was just curiosity as I did no cooking. We enjoyed every minute, except it was 96 every day(I am sure it was the same at home. Impressed with comeback of Sanibel and friendliness of people. Also there were no political signs! We loved restaurants -Doc Fords and Rosalitas. Breakfast at Jerry's Market Cantina!

Sanibel Island vacation

Check in and property was fine. However, four days into our vacation we were under a mandatory evacuation due to Hurricane Ian. We left the Island Tuesday morning and will not return because the Island is destroyed including the causeway leading to it. We are now left trying to recoup money we paid for this trip.

Beautiful location, but bikes were broken

While our stay was in a beautiful location and was exactly as pictured, it wasn’t exactly as described. We mainly booked this location with the thought that there was going to be bikes available to get around the island (since it advertised that). We understand that bikes can break but we informed the host on Friday and she said there would be someone by to fix the bikes. Unfortunately, the bikes were still broken in the same spot until Monday morning when we left. It was a little disappointing since that was a major reason why we booked this place instead of another. Other than that, we enjoyed the room.

Less than ideal accommodations

we arrived after midnight due to flight delays. When we got to the cottage the lockbox was open and no key to be found. We messaged the manager and fortunately the response was quick and someone came to find the key under the mat.. have used Arbnb before and never had this happened. The place lacked some basic items. Such as hand soap and shampoo/conditioner. We had to go and buy some hand soap.. The stove isn’t working and the light under the cabinets isn’t working either. The glass door to the patio is stuck. The bikes! Omg. They have seen better days. They are in awful condition. I found only 1 bike in proper condition. The others: the saddles are not adjustable. Either the saddle post clamps are so rusty they are stuck or simply don’t tighten ! The pedals in one of the bikes doesn’t work as if the cassette or chainring are so worn out the cranks slip as you try to pedal. Another bike had a flat tire..

We had a great stay!

This cute little property is well maintained and was really comfy for our short stay. The only thing I'd say is that I wished it was closer walking distance to the beach. We drove the car because we had a lot of stuff to carry. Other than that perfect A++!!

My New Vitamin Sea

Stayed in Toucan 4. The description and pictures were spot on this property. It was very clean and newly updated. They provided equipment to take to the beach like loungers and wagons to walk the short distance to the beach. The gas grill was another great perk. There are many restaurants close by and the service was really good. Great property management and excellent maintenance (Luke), really took care of any issues in a snap. There had been a really bad storm a few days before we arrived and the area was still recovering from outages. We called maintenance for help and they took care of us immediately. We definitely want to go back again next year. We found our Happy Spot!

No WIFI

The condo was clean and beautiful! GREAT LOCATION...But NO WIFI!! We were in #4 and the WIFI would not show up. This wouldn't have been such an issue but we also had NO cell service. The email stated we did not need a password when in fact we did. I called the management company when we arrived and they said they would contact the owner and it had to do with needing a WIFI extender. The girl on the phone suggested we walk to the back of the property to get connected. Great...Except it only works in the back of the property. She said they would get back to me. NO ONE EVER GOT BACK TO ME. I emailed the owner and explained needing a password and not getting WIFI in the room. She replied to my email with just the wifi password...NOTHING else. I emailed 2 more times and still NO wifi... BAD COMMUNICATION> We sat in our car at the beach during a storm, cause sitting at the condo with no internet access sucks. To me having a relaxing weekend means I get to use my phone and surf the internet and social media. I was looking for mindless!! I like the wind down time in the evening with some mindless activity. Listen, if someone would have gotten back to me and acknowledged my issue I wouldn't be so annoyed. If you do not care about poor communication or wifi, stay here cause everything else was great.

Super clean super nice. Great location next to Lighthouse Cafe and a few shops. You can walk to the beach or borrow the bikes they have on property. Easy parking.

Pleasant Weekend

This was a cute property and perfect for just the two of us. We stayed over Memorial Day weekend and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The beach was a short walk and very easy to get to. The cottages are on the East end of the island about 1/2 a mile from the Lighthouse. The unit was clean and had everything we needed. The decor was simple and just what you’d expect from a beach cottage. Just a warning, though…the bed is hard. It wasn’t so hard that I couldn’t sleep, but if you tend to be more sensitive to such things, might want to keep that in mind. All in all great place to stay!
