This place was a huge disappointment and absolutely not what I expected based on the Expedia rating. The unit was tiny, outdated, and not very clean, with paper-thin walls and ceilings - we could clearly hear the guests upstairs late into the night and again early in the morning. There was no proper lobby or on-site staff, the AC created so much condensation that surfaces and even the TV were wet, and basic touches like coffee for the coffee maker were missing. While the beach was nearby, the property itself felt run-down and honestly worth maybe a third of what they charge.

I stayed at the Sandpiper, unit #1 which is a two bedroom. The Palmview is a couple doors down.
Bedrooms are small but both have comfortable queen beds.
Everything worked, and if I had decided to make meals I had pots, pans, utensils and spices to work with. The staff provides starter kitchen supplies, extra toilet paper, and if you need clean towels, just call the office.
If this place had a pool, I'd give it four stars. They do have some beach cruiser bikes that you can use for free for a morning ride to the beach. The nearest beach at the end of Donax is walkable if you're not lugging a bunch of stuff with you. Oh, they have the beach stuff there too!
Staff is extremely responsive. I had a couple minor issues and someone came out the next morning to clear out the bathroom sink drain and pump up the tires on the bikes. They allow dogs, and there is a small fenced area in the backyard for the dogs to go.

The location of the cottage was good and there was plenty of room to park a car. Everything (restaurants, shopping, grocery store, ice cream, etc.) was within easy driving distance.
There were plenty of extra towels for the beach, beach chairs and bicycles for our use.
The beds were comfortable. On the downside, the bedrooms were small. So much so that we couldn't fully open the door without hitting the bed. In addition, in the bedrooms there was no storage (chest of drawers) to put clothing or anyplace to put a suitcase, except on the floor. There was a tall chest of drawers in the living room area. One of these in each of the bedrooms would have been very useful but not so much where it was.
Everything considered, we would stay here again.

We were within walking distance to the beach and a convenience shop. Traffic is not busy at this stay. It feels very private as it is a cottage with outside sitting and gathering.

It was perfect! The bed was comfy cozy, a huge TV (I rarely used it, so much to do outside), nicely appointed bathroom with a wonderful shower and several shampoos and body wash. The kitchen had everything needed for cooking. A couple of hot pads would be a good addition!
A short walk to the beach using the wagon provided to each unit loaded with beach chairs and a great sturdy umbrella 🏖️ that screwed into the sand so it didn't blow away in the breeze/wind. Nice beach towels also included!
Bikes are provided, although a basket would have been appreciated. I had to carry my groceries home in a bag on my shoulder.(I didn't have a vehicle)
The grounds were very nice, with outdoor seating, a DIY bar area, outdoor shower for rinsing off after a day at the beach, and lovely landscaping.
I really enjoyed my stay at the Palm View and will definitely return next year!

Stayed in unit #1 Sandpiper. Loved that there were bikes to use, beach in bike /walking distance. Cottage was very clean and in a relaxing area. Beds too big for the rooms, no space to move around or even open the door all the way. Laundry room was messy and path too dark to comfortably walk to laundry at night. Wasn't concerned about safety just literally couldn't see the ground to walk. Otherwise great stay, I would absolutely go back and stay at the Palmview/Sandpiper again.

The cottages was super cute and very clean. Bikes were great and plenty. However. The bikes near the trash and shower did not work. It was very dark at night. And because it was wet back there the No-see-ums attacked us while we struggled to get the bikes in the wrack in the dark. I think the bikes should be in a more ideal location. Otherwise place was great, nice people, bikes to the beach were perfect. The path around the island is key as well.

We had expected a kitchenette, and there was a refrigerator, a microwave, an induction cooktop, plates, bowls,cups and utensils, but no kitchen sink or kitchen exhaust. If we had cooked on the cooktop we would have set off the smoke alarm and then had to do our dishes in the bathroom sink.
The front entry to our room was overhung with palm branches so that we had to stoop to reach the door. The parking lot was very small requiring awkward parking positions to avoid blocking your neighbor in. The queen bed in our room was quite comfortable, but its positioning in the room required me to walk sideways to get into or out of my side of the bed. That would be very difficult for someone with limited mobility.
The bathroom was clean, and the hotwater in the shower was excellent, but the shower was awkwardly narrow, not unlike the experience one has using an airliner toilet. Not for people who can't touch their toes
There were complimentary beach chairs, beach umbrellas, beach towels and beach carts that made the short walk to the beach convenient, There was a free washer and dryer available that was an excellent benefit above the normal. The free bikes were very nice, but having bicycle locks would make them more practical.
I was locked out by my own fault, but the company had me back in very quickly.
All in all it was a room at a good price on a lovely island, but not one to recommend to the faint of heart

We stayed at the Palmview Creole Garden 7/18-7/21. I highly recommend the cottages and property. We had a wonderful time! The beach chairs and umbrella were in great condition, high quality and very convenient. The bikes were as well and we had great times riding them around the island. We had a couple of small issues but they were quickly resolved by the attentive staff. The cottage was perfect in size for the 3 of us and the kitchen and amenities in it were enough to cook things. The seating area is very inviting near the BBQ. My small suggestion would be to put tiki torches or some kind of bug repellant there. Bring bug spray!! Doc Fords and Mudbugs were excellent places to eat. Huxster's Store has delicious sandwiches. Overall, a wonderful weekend vacation. I will be staying at the Palmview anytime I return to Sanibel.

We were on the 2nd floor above 2 units and next to 1 unit and the apartments were very soundproof. You can walk to the beach in a few minutes. We brought our dog who appreciated the fenced in area.

We stayed at Pirate’s Cove cottage. It was a great stay, however, the property had some good and not so good aspects. First the good: great A/C! Good appliances, cottage clean, bed very comfortable, great bikes. Not great: no space besides closet (without shelving) for clothes, Bathroom electrical outlet had no power, electrical plate missing from BR wall, beach chairs both had carrying clip broken, spotty dishes and serve ware, grill didn’t work. The cottage needs some attention, which would be expected between guests for the price charged.

We enjoyed our brief 2 night stay at the Sanpdpiper Inn- it was clean and walkable to the beautiful beach. They were great communicators and it was easy to access the property. Unit was cute and nice finishes! Minor things could really improve the Egret suite- a TP holder and towel bar of any kind in the front bathroom, it had neither. Bedrooms smaller than I could tell from the pics, very difficult to impossible to walk around the bed which made nighttime interesting! Unfortunately the previous tenants had obviously been smoking pot - which is against the rules for sure and I could smell it for almost the whole stay. Not the fault of the The Sandpiper but it does color your experience. I would recommend this property overall.

We stayed at the Sandpiper Ibis cottage#3 on 6/12/24-6/14/24 and we loved it! The cottage had everything we needed - only need to bring yourself, clothes, and food if you wish to cook. The cottage has an updated kitchen, living room bedroom and bathroom. The beds were SO comfortable!!! It's been a long time since I've slept so soundly and comfortably. They could use some fluffier pillows, as theirs were a little flat, but that didn't bother me since I brought my own pillows from home. Unfortunately it rained most of the time that we were there and part of the property in the back and some of the streets were a bit flooded so we were unable to use the bicycles, etc.. We did make it to the beach on our last day for a couple hours when there was a lull in the rain. However we still had a great time playing board games and watching movies indoors during the rain. Very cozy atmosphere. We did have a small pool of water from several days of rain accumulating in front of our door and had to call the office to let them know about that and they quickly sent out maintenance to take care of it and to provide a thick mat for the inside so we wouldn't wet the floor as we were going into the cottage. My husband and I are planning to stay in that exact cottage again in the future.

Pleasant stay

I stayed at the Sandpiper Inn and was a pleasant stay overall.

The check in process was a bit unconventional, but maybe that is from my personal lack of experience with these type of vacation rentals.

Daily housekeeping service is not provided, but I was ok with that considering the duration of our stay.

The unit was well stocked with basic kitchenware and linen/towels.

Overall, the condition of the unit was ok, but there were some areas that could be improved such as the shower and bathroom and other areas where caulking was splitting and the finish was lacking overall, not a deal breaker, but considering the cost to rent, I think the upkeep should be more apparent.

Parking was a little tight, but we managed and had no issues.

Beach cruisers are provided on-site and they looked to be fairly new and well maintained overall. I would suggest for their to be a bike tire air pump available for use as some bikes were a bit low on air.

The inn had a nice beachy vibe and was quite charming. I would consider staying here again on a return visit.

These were the good things about the property. 1. It was a short walk to the beach and the beach was excellent. This was huge because the traffic is a nightmare on the island. 2. The bed linens were fresh and clean,............................Otherwise it was run down, the bare minimum for furnishings etc. A very small bathroom. Little things were updated here and there to try and give the effect that it was cared for. It was not. Deck was grungy. Overall a 50/50 experience. Not terrible but you can probably do alot better.

Shabby Chic?

The nostalgia factor for this retro unit was not sufficient to elicit a very favorable rating. The code for the door lock did not work...fortunately we were given a secondary code to a lockbox with \"back-up\" keys. It was advertised that the office was open was open 9-5, but it was never open that we experienced in our 2-day stay. Fortunately, we didn't need anything. The furniture was shabby to the point of being uncomfortable and the bed had stale (or worse) smells. The good aspects: it was quiet; it was walking distance to a great shelling beach; the kitchen was well provisioned. Sanibel is a neat place, so I might stay there again.

He had bikes to use (which we loved), towels, beach toys, chairs, umbrella, you name it he had it to use for free! Road our bikes to the beach multiple times a day, maybe a 1 minute ride.

The property and staff are superb. Short walk to the beach and the cottage was clean and close to all the island has to offer.

Sanibel Island Cottages

This is a great place to stay if you enjoy being able to sit out back of the cottages where there are tables with umbrellas and well shaded and quiet. The only thing that wasn't good is the window AC Unit runs constantly and is quite noisey. Also, the sofa bed/couch in our unit desperately needs to be replaced. It was bad enough sitting on it. I wouldn't want to be the people who have to sleep on it. The king size bed was very comfortable. The unit was clean and included beach chairs and umbrella; coffee pot, toaster, blender...all the kitchen essentials. It was a bit too far for us to walk to the beach, but there were a few handicap spots on the street at the beach end of our street which my husband needed. All in all we enjoy this atmosphere over a hotel and we would definitely return.

Amazing service and all around great experience.Beach themed, slightly kitschy cottages with all the extras. So many bike rental places on the island and this place has them for free for guests. They also provide beach towels, an umbrella and two beach chairs that strap on your back like a backpack and have an insulated pocket for ice and drinks as well as a huge pocket for dry items. In other parts of Florida, the beach chairs and umbrella would’ve coated $25-30 a day and then bike rental is close to that. The place is stocked with kitchen essentials such as plates, silverware, coffee maker, blender, toaster, strainer, drink pitcher, stove, fridge and microwave. The outdoor area is adorable. Little grass hut type picnic table, coconut trees, patio furniture. It’s not right on the beach, but if you can handle a 5 minute stroll down a clean sidewalk with beautiful trees, birds hand bunny rabbits, it’s not a problem at all. I’d say it’s about 2-3 city blocks. The beach access is perfect and clean. The location is very quiet, but close enough to restaurants and other amenities that you don’t feel secluded. The king size mattress wasn’t the most fluffy one I’ve slept in, but not bad enough to leave or not come back.
Ron, the man on site in the mornings is always happy, welcoming, and available whenever needed. Very accommodating.
If you’re okay with feeling like you’re staying in the Golden Girls’ guest house (think wicker furniture and bright colors) then this is the place.

We LOVED the location of this property! While not beach front, it’s just a few minute walk and an even quicker bike ride to the beach. The room came with chairs, an umbrella and beach towels which we found to be most useful for us. The owner was very friendly and helpful—greeted us every morning he saw us and when we thought there was a problem with the tv (our own ignorance) he provided assistance in an appropriate time. We will definitely be staying here again because the prices are unbeatable and the service even better!

Great place, close to the beach, great owner

This is a great little place within a short walk to the beach. We stayed in the Caloosa room so had plenty of room to spread out. Ron really was as nice, helpful, and accomodating as everyone before me had said. Bikes and beach chairs were provided and he even lent us a cooler to take to the beach.
