About this property

The Rosella-Great value on Sanibel! 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. The Rosella cottage is a charming room with a king bed and new daybed ( twin ).

Nice location
The property was a studio style space tucked away in an area close to the lighthouse beach end of the island. 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.

Cute, clean & amazing area
This property was decorated so adorable, having everything you would need for a great stay & the balcony off your room with a view of the beach was our favorite part! Not only was is close to the beach but it was close to restaurants and shopping centers as well!!

Property was clean, main studio area was great! 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.
