It was perfect for us. Very clean, the sheets, blankets and towels looked clean and white. We would def stay here again. Just a warning to other guest... i walked out barefoot on the steps with wet bathing suit and steps were slippery and fell very very hard. Im very lucky i didnt break some ribs and my elbow because of how i landed. No fault of anyones. But be sure to wear shoes and hold on to railing. I was very lucky. That could of ruined my vacation and been alot worse. Do not mistake this comment for a bad review. Just a warning because i don't want anyone to get hurt. ##### Maria S.

Periwinkle Cottage #4 Egret was PERFECT! From the time of booking, management was very informative of procedure, rules, things to do, everything we needed up front. They texted when our unit was ready, so the early check in was much appreciated. Very clean and perfect size for us. Everything stated on the website was provided. Having the private beach and parking pass was fabulous. We literally had the beach to ourselves! We loved that the cottages are in a neighborhood and easy walk to the beach for sunsets. Beautifully landscaped. Bikes available and nature preserve just down the street for great ride. All our meals on Sanibel were excellent and having Jerry's grocery available was a plus. Still lots of devastation from hurricanes, but so much is open and ready for visitors. I highly recommend Periwinkle Cottages for your stay. We will be back! ##### Ilene B.

We enjoyed that we were in a neighborhood setting, with friendly neighbors. The cottage was immaculate! The maintenance guy stopped by for a routine maintenance and addressed some very minor concerns which weren’t negatively impacting our stay but definitely made our stay better!! We had easy access to the beach and nice beach amenities were provided for us to use during our stay. Before our arrival we sent two different emails (one through HomeAway and the other in response to our check in email) and did not receive a response. However once we arrived, multiple text messages were sent back and forth. I’m glad that upon arrival the communication was much better! This is alligator territory and while we didn’t see any alligators, two different neighbors did warn us that they frequent the cottage area and surrounding neighborhood. I would have preferred to hear about this as a part of the check in information and have some alligator safety tips provided, just like was done for the “no-see-ums.” ##### Julie F.

Very nicely newly renovated throughout. I loved having beach chairs and umbrellas available on the screened porch and numerous bikes parked right outside the cottages. And the mini cooler was great too, to take to the beach. You can leave your beach stuff in the corral along the beach path so you don't have to drag it down there every day; or you can drive and park using the parking pass provided. The beach is easy access and close (~7 min walk or 2 min bike ride) and very clean and not crowded. Working with Kim at Breakaway was great -- very responsive when it came to rebooking a year ago when I had to cancel my trip due to COVID and handling payments. There were a few lingering maintenance issues that an earlier reviewer noted - slow draining tub, missing towel rack in bathroom, and inoperative overbed light--but these weren't major issues for me. And a light on the screened in porch ceiling fan would have been nice as I couldn't use it after dark (other cottages had a light). One head's up though for future potential guests: the cottage is right next to consistently busy main road so you will hear traffic pretty much all the time when sitting outside on the porch. Not a huge issue for me as I live in a big city but those looking for complete silence take note. ##### Julie H. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Robin C. 6 Oct 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, location #### Nice but lacks attention to detail Great location and private beach was great. Needs a walk thru by owner, closet lights and bedroom reading lights didn’t work, no wine corkscrew and only one wine glass in cabinet. Coffee maker but no coffee. Towel rack in bathroom broken and missing. Front large burner on stove not working. For what we paid these kinds of things should be working. VRBO is a rip off with all its fees, better to book direct if possible. Overall was good thx to the beach and bikes on sight. ##### Robin C.

Great place to stay, loved the little cottage feel, has everything you need inside, great location... so close to an awesome private beach! my son (8) was very happy with the 3 wheeled bikes because he was able to ride them.. we took them down to the beach a few times, it was very private and peaceful and we found some really nice shells, look for bunnies on your walk down the path to the beach ! The weather was not great so maybe that’s why there weren’t so many people but it was a really nice beach either way! From check in to check out it was a great experience, we received a text when the room was ready and after we left we realized My son forgot his stuffed animal he sleeps with so I sent a quick text and they responded right away and found it and we were able to pick it up the next day at the property main office! Everyone was so nice, we will definitely book again ! <3 ##### Kristina E.

We did however experience problems with electricity, not having power to tv or the screened in porch. They provided an extension cord for the tv. However one side of living room had no light. An electrician never showed up. No water available at shell washing station. I do not like writing negative reviews—location was everything. We would like to return but did not like having the basics. ##### phyllis b.

It's a great way to have a socially distanced vacation. The neighborhood was quiet, the beach is right down the street and they provide wagons, chairs and beach umbrellas for guests' use. They also have plenty of bicycles to explore the area. The cottage was cute, comfortable and clean. It is updated but still was built in the 1950s so some features like the windows are original. I would return to this location in the future ##### Patrice Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brian B. 19 Jul 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### good place nice ##### Brian B. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Wyndham I-Drive Avanti Resort & Conference Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Avanti-Palms-Resort-And-Conference-Center.h3916.Hotel-Information) > > [Sunset Key Cottages](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Key-West-Hotels-Sunset-Key-Cottages.h17456804.Hotel-Information) > > [The Shire at West Haven 101](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-The-Shire-At-West-Haven-101.h35790310.Hotel-Information) > > [Kimpton EPIC Hotel by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-Kimpton-EPIC-Hotel.h2237168.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal’s Loews Royal Pacific Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Loews-Royal-Pacific-Resort.h856706.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Plaza Miami Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Plaza-Miami-Beach.h74574.Hotel-Information) > > [Bentley Hotel South Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-Bentley-Hotel-South-Beach.h120299.Hotel-Information) > > [Esmé Miami Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-Esme-Miami-Beach.h58072094.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Club Vacations at Orange Lake Resort by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Club-Vacations-At-Orange-Lake-Resort.h6315.Hotel-Information) > > [Ramada Plaza Resort & Suites by Wyndham Orlando Intl Drive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Ramada-Plaza-Resort-Suites-By-Wyndham-Orlando-Intl-Drive.h897604.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal’s Loews Portofino Bay Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Loews-Portofino-Bay-Hotel.h201033.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Hard Rock Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Hard-Rock-Hotel.h485506.Hotel-Information) > > [1 Hotel South Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-1-Hotel-South-Beach.h1790087.Hotel-Information) > > [Southernmost Beach Resort and Guesthouses](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Key-West-Hotels-Southernmost-Beach-Resort.h863329.Hotel-Information) > > [Magic Village Views Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Magic-Village-Views-Trademark-Collection-By-Wyndham.h36882728.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt House Naples/5th Avenue](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Naples-Hotels-Hyatt-House-Naples5th-Avenue.h12805323.Hotel-Information) > > [LaPlaya Beach & Golf Resort - A Noble House Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Naples-Hotels-LaPlaya-Beach-Golf-Resort-A-Noble-House-Resort.h25199.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Endless Summer Resort - Surfside Inn and Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Endless-Summer-Resort-Surfside-Inn-And-Suites.h27522522.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Tampa Downtown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tampa-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Tampa-Downtown.h59632755.Hotel-Information) > > [Loews Miami Beach Hotel – South Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-Loews-Miami-Beach-Hotel-South-Beach.h81223.Hotel-Information) > > [UMA House by Yurbban South Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-UMA-House-By-Yurbban-South-Beach.h74778624.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Cabana Bay Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Cabana-Bay-Beach-Resort.h5963292.Hotel-Information) > > [Fontainebleau Sorrento Oceanview Junior Suite with free parking](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-Fontainebleau-Sorrento-Oceanview-Junior-Suite-With-Free-Parking.h29618894.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Greystone - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-Hotel-Greystone.h34892018.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Endless Summer Resort - Dockside Inn and Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Endless-Summer-Dockside-Inn-Suites.h33770341.Hotel-Information) > > [Fontainebleau Miami Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-Fontainebleau-Miami-Beach.h1190549.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton at the Entrance to Universal Orlando](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-At-The-Entrance-To-Universal-Orlando.h5398.Hotel-Information) > > [The Seagate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Delray-Beach-Hotels-The-Seagate-Hotel-Spa.h2803783.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-Grand-Beach-Hotel.h2238836.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Aventura Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Aventura-Hotel.h18352896.Hotel-Information)
