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.

Great short getaway

Cute room that had everything we needed. Bikes and beach wagons were a nice addition. Close to lighthouse with good restaurant and ice cream shop across the street. The only negative was that the hot water ran out quickly during showers. Nice to see Sanibel rebounding from the hurricanes.

Ideal location

Our first time to Sanibel and we loved it. Our little cottage was wonderful. Ideal location to ride bikes to the beach and lighthouse. We would absolutely return and stay there. Only 1 thing would make it a little better, since there’s no sink in the kitchen area a small dish pan would make cleaning the dishes a little more sanitary. Great place!!

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.

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.

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

Perfect Cottage

Everything was great! Except for the no-see-ems that came out in the evenings. Those bitting little bugs are awful! Bring bug spray or buy some at one of the local shops. The people were friendly. The neighborhood was safe. The food was amazing. Our fav for breakfast was Lighthouse Cafe (especially the mimosas and eggs Benedict). For supper we loved Wickies, Tutti Pazzi and Doc Fords. We never tried Mudbugs, but it looked inviting. We just ran out of time. Doc Fords was the longest bike ride we took and it was very easy. Minimal hills and wide asphalt paths. The only shopping we did was at She Sells Seashells, which had cute local made gifts as well as some mass produced gifts and shells. Shelling at the beach was great too. Bring a container to get them home safely! I will be recommending Sanibel and this cottage to family and friends. Loved every minute of this trip!

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 for First Sanibel visit

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.
