Perfect for us with small but fully equipped kitchen, nice bedroom and bath. Only couple small things - recommend a few extra rolls of TP in bathroom and our unit could use some clean-up of paint job (few drops on bathroom floor, edging, etc) but these are small issues as place was great.

The property was well equipped and close to the beach. The only things I thought would be helpful that weren't provided were a door mat to help eliminate bringing sand into the cottage and some place to hang up damp towels, maybe an over the door rack. We would definitely consider staying again.

Couldn't Have Been Happier

This place is cool. We were delighted with everything. The only issue was a malfunctioning TV remote control, which management replaced promptly. Definitely plan to stay there next time we visit Sanibel.

We absolutely loved it and would stay again. Only 2 things were the water pressure is nonexistent in the shower which after a day at the beach and trying to wash the sand off isn’t fun and I wish there was a potholder in the room. It’s fully stocked to cook and use the oven but we didn’t have anything to remove the stuff from the oven. But still absolutely would recommend.

We stayed at the Sandpiper Ibis cottage#3 on 6/12/24-6/14/24 and we loved it! The cottage had everything we needed - only need to bring yourself, clothes, and food if you wish to cook. The cottage has an updated kitchen, living room bedroom and bathroom. The beds were SO comfortable!!! It's been a long time since I've slept so soundly and comfortably. They could use some fluffier pillows, as theirs were a little flat, but that didn't bother me since I brought my own pillows from home. Unfortunately it rained most of the time that we were there and part of the property in the back and some of the streets were a bit flooded so we were unable to use the bicycles, etc.. We did make it to the beach on our last day for a couple hours when there was a lull in the rain. However we still had a great time playing board games and watching movies indoors during the rain. Very cozy atmosphere. We did have a small pool of water from several days of rain accumulating in front of our door and had to call the office to let them know about that and they quickly sent out maintenance to take care of it and to provide a thick mat for the inside so we wouldn't wet the floor as we were going into the cottage. My husband and I are planning to stay in that exact cottage again in the future.
