Mother-Daughter Getaway

February 2024

The cottage was newly renovated, clean, and just the right size with the right features for the two of us. There was a daybed, but we weren't sure how to set it up and didn't want to damage anything. The bed was large enough for each of us to stay on our own side. The kitchen is cute and I enjoyed being able to roll out of bed and literally take two steps to grab a snack, LOL! The surrounding property is clean and easy to find. The location is convenient. One tip: bring a flashlight or use the one on your phone because, like the entire island, it is dark once the sun goes down. I'm guessing it's to preserve the environment for the sea turtles. Totally not a problem, just a helpful suggestion. -The property is also close to the beach; literally a five-minute bike ride. The bikes are provided and free to use, as are the beach chairs and the umbrellas. We would stay here again.

We stayed here for 6 days while we were finishing our home on Sanibel to move back in after Hurricane Ian. It was a perfect situation - just 1 mile from our home, right off the causeway (to avoid the traffic issues), simple and clean. Thank you Breakaway Vacations for making the process so easy!

Close to beach, great value, clean and newly renovated

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! It was a great value. The property is clean, and the unit was newly renovated with the right amount of amenities. Our studio was ready before normal check-in which was a bonus. There's great communication from the management company as well. The location was perfectly close to the Lighthouse beach for shelling. We took advantage of the bikes on property.

My daughter and I had a perfect beach getaway!! Loved the refurbished cockatoo room. New windows floors and bathroom are wonderful. This place had everything we needed. A three block walk to the beach (one block over then two blocks to beach). But no accommodations are open on the gulf since Ian. The beach wagons and bikes are terrific conveniences. Don’t forget bug spray (apply it liberally!). Remember your mask and snorkel and binoculars. Buy your groceries before you get on island. The outside shower is delightful and the station outside for washing shells is perfect. Remember you shouldn’t take live shells, but some recently deceased can be very smelly. Bring baggies and garbage bags to transport your treasures home. Sanibel provides an experience like no where else. Parrots nest is a great place to share nature with those you love.

We had a fabulous time at the Parrots Nest and look forward to returning. You can't beat the location with a nice restaurant and ice cream shop just up the street. The beach was an easy and quick bike ride away and wasn't crowded during Spring Break. The bikes were perfect for getting around and exploring. It was also very quiet.

No doubts, it was one of the cutest places I have been. Everything clean inside and out. Amazing views and comfort. We used the bikes to go around the island. Such a good idea to have them there. Thank you for the great experience and will be back for sure one day.

Quaint and kitschy, The Parrot's Nest has been my-go-to vacation spot twice in the last three years. It's within walking distance of both the bay and the Gulf. The Gulf side is a great beach for swimming, and sunning, with a variety of seashells for the collector. And the property makes the beach trip easy with wagons, beach chairs, and towels.The property is quiet, cozy, and well maintained. My unit was immaculate, roomy, and very comfortable. If I'm able to visit the East Coast again, The Parrot's Nest will be my first choice.

Loved our room and the quiet end of Sanibel Island. The room and staff were wonderful! We felt like the entire area was just for us with plenty of room to sit out in the chairs and the hammock. Love all the running/walking paths around the island and the local stores right around the corner. Ice cream and coffee were great. I was even able to grab a quick sandwich which was delicious! The room was spacious and comfortable with everything we needed! The staff was even able to accommodate our tight arrival window and evening plans! Perfect!

Love It!

Loved staying here! I felt like I was on a tropical island! Just a short walk or bike ride to the beach or the light house. Watched dolphins playing near the pier. Felt very secluded even tho there were other units it is well designed to provide outdoor space for privacy. The free use of bikes was fantastic! I rode down to the end of the island every evening (lights on the bikes would be fabulous!) and had dinner. Definitely coming back!

My husband and I have nothing but good things to say about the Parrots Nest. We stayed here for my husbands birthday for a few days and it was very relaxing. Every day we would walk to the Lighthouse Cafe right next to the cottages for breakfast, then we would take the bicycles the Parrots Nest provided and go to the beach, which was about 2 min away. Our room had everything we needed and was a welcome comfort after a long day at the beach, and was the perfect size for the two of us. We will definitely be returning!
