Walk to dining, shops and The Lighthouse-on Historic East End! 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.

I enjoyed the space and especially having a bike. For the first few days I smelled an unpleasant water smell coming from the bathroom but the more I used the kitchen sink it seemed to dissipate. I could have used a bit more towels as they were not stored on site and kitchen tools as I planned on prepping about half the meals. Overall it was very quiet. It reminded me of an upscale campground. I could only hear my neighbors when they used the bathroom but I started shutting my interior bathroom door Incase they were up before me. The island is still very much in a build back state. Was sorry to see that most businesses are missing but hopefully over time there will be more to the area to explore. I didn’t have a need to communicate with the property manager while visiting but the notifications prior to the trip were very helpful. ##### Joy T.

Loved that you were texted if the property was available for check-prior to 4:00 pm check-in time. Excellent location with walking distance to some restaurants and the beach. The bathroom could use some updating and improvements. There was very little room to store your personal care products and the shelf provided in unit #1 was slanted so the makeup bag and items always slid off the shelf. ##### Lisa Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2022 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Sarah T. 9 Mar 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Excellent Location but a Tired Property We stayed at the Rosella Cottage for 3 nights. We really wanted to love everything about it, and hoped we had found a place that we would like to return. We typically like well-maintained properties with a little vintage charm. Unfortunately, this property was not that. We did like the quiet residential location within walking distance to a few restaurants, the beach and the Sanibel Lighthouse and park. Once we parked our car, we did not use it until we left. We also appreciated that the property managers were very responsive when we notified them that the cooktop was not working, a portable replacement arrived within minutes. However, the property is tired and needs attention. The door lock was very difficult to open and clearly needed a shot of oil. If it was difficult for us, it was difficult for the staff, and we wondered why something so obvious wasn't addressed. We felt that the bedding was updated and clean, which is a must. However, the kitchenette and bathroom may have been dated to the point of not being 'cleanable.' The cottage slept up to three people, which must have been why there were 3, and no more than 3, cups, forks, spoons, etc. (Lame and kind of stingy feeling.) The shower did not drain well, so we would be standing in an inch or more of backed up drain water, pretty gross. There was a wicker mirror in the bathroom, and the top of it was covered in dust. There were no towel bars in the bathroom, only hooks on the back of the door. There was one little wall shelf in the bathroom, but the wall mounts were ill-fitted, so the shelf tilted enough to make it useless. There are beach wagons, chairs, and umbrellas provided. A great idea and would be a nice offering, however, we had to go through the chairs and umbrellas to find ones that weren't broken and too rusty. One would think replacing these when necessary would be a priority if the rental fee includes the use of them. We had to wipe off the outside chairs to sit on them, and the paper towels were not only filthy, but had the color of the chairs on them. I was glad that we didn't get that on our clothes. This property could be a real gem. The rental managers were professional, but can only do so much. If the owners or investors aren't willing to re-invest some of the rent money into maintenance and upkeep, it feels disrespectful to people who chose to give them a chance. ##### Sarah T.
