#PN 2 Cockatoo

Great location with beaches, eateries and walking/biking paths steps away! Accommodations were clean and spacious with lovely amenities. Thank you....see you again !

Our mother/daughter trip was great! The cottage was spotless, the bed was very comfortable, and the extras like bikes you can borrow and beach chairs you can use at the beach was a cool perk. We had coffee at the “magic bus” each morning across the road, and shopped at Jerry's for snacks on the beach. We spent all our beach days at bowman's beach where the shelling was amazing, and walking out to the sand bar was neat! We also checked out the historical lighthouse on lighthouse beach in the evenings as it's the closest beach to the property. I'd definitely come back to the parrot's nest. We had a very relaxing trip!

Very clean… convenient….awesome for short term stays!

Everything was very clean, comfortable and well equipped.

We had a wonderful stay at the Cockatoo. So nice to be back on Sanibel, even if only for a night. Can't wait to return. Thanks for the early check-in and cozy room.Regards,Kris

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!

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.

We really enjoyed staying at Parrot Nest. Our cottage (#2 Cockatoo) was clean and very comfortable and the location was great. We can't wait to return to Sanibel and would definitely stay at Parrot Nest again!

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 truly enjoyed staying at cockatoo 2. It as clean and convenient to everything. We will be back.

The stay was wonderful and the place was clean and quiet. Loved it! Thank you for a beautiful place to stay and helping us make unforgettable beach memories!

We absolutely loved our stay. the place has everything you would need and more. very close to the beach .cant wait to go back very relaxing

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.

Great trip and perfect spot on Sanibel for a getaway. We will be back. :)

Very clean! A pleasant and relaxing stay. We loved the privacy.

The cottage was lovely! It's set in a nature area a close walk to lighthouse and beach. Most important to us in staying somewhere is cleanliness and is certainly was that. Looking forward to our next stay there!

Highly recommend! The unit was sparkling clean and super comfortable all the way around. We really recommend the location, as it is so close to the lighthouse and great restaurants. The bicycles are plentiful, free, and a great way to get around. We would visit again.

What a wonderful cottage

Wonderful location, loved our stay

A great place to compressA good walk to the beach or use one of the bikesYou must visit the lighthouse cafe and the ice cream store on the cornerwe are coming back

Fantastic cottage and amenities! Very clean and comfortable. We loved having access to bicycles and a cart for our beach gear. Great location with restaurants, shops, and beach access within a short walking distance.   everything was great. I highly recommend!

Such a wonderful stay. Loved the place, area, and beaches! The home was very cozy. Great Host.

Absolutely love coming to the parrots nest and I have been in several different parrots nest! All of them has been absolutely wonderful!

Wonderful, clean, private cottage with bikes provided made my stay a great experience.

Such a great little place to stay! So cozy and clean and so cute! Loved everything about, the bikes were our favorite part. We loved to ride them around and just enjoy the outdoors and beauty of sanibel. I would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful place to stay. Clean, comfortable, with cool extras like available grill, beach umbrellas, beach toys and shell grabbers, beach carts and bikes and on site washer and dryer. Easy walk to the beach and great nearby restaurants. Love This place and will definitely stay again. My only regret was not being able to stay longer!

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!

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!

We enjoyed our visit. The accommodations were great, so clean and comfortable. We hope to be able to vacation here again.

Cozy place with everything you need. Loved that they had bikes you could use. Short walk to the beach. Clean. Would recommend.

Great place to stay! Very clean and cozy!!

We had a great weekend at Parrot nest. The property is very well maintained and the room was beautifully decorated. Very clean and comfortable. We will come back for sure!

Really nice, clean and quiet. The free bikes and beach chairs were a big plus

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!

We loved the free bikes and the location of the cottages. It was a perfect weekend!

Perfect place to get away.. was so relaxing. By far the best rest ever, the bed was so comfortable and all so nice and clean. Location is awesome, close to everything and the beach was beautiful, will definitely go back

Visit during Sanibel Shell ShowWe had a very nice stay at this conveniently located property during the 2020 Shell Show. It is located near the lighthouse, walking trails and beach. The property has great amenities - including bicycles, laundry and beach carts. This is our second visit to this property, and we will definitely plan to stay again in the future.

My wife and I spent a long weekend here. The space was comfortable and well maintained. We had a great visit to Sanibel thanks to Kim and these lodgings.02/17/2020 at 12:53 PM

Was a beautiful cottage! Mattress and pillows were perfect.

The property was beautiful and the location is perfect

It felt like we were at home. Very well maintained, comfortable bed and we enjoyed having some of our meals in comfort. Will stay again on our next visit.
