About this property

Captain Ed's Cottage at Palmview Inn of Sanibel

Summary:

Welcome to Captain Ed's, a beautifully appointed studio cottage located in the newly renovated, Palmview Inn! The cottage features a king bed, a sleeper sofa, a full bathroom and a comprehensive kitchenette featuring a fully equipped inventory. Festooned with gorgeous palm trees and an ever present ocean breeze, Palmview Inn has been the choice of many travelers year after year. Close to beaches, dining and shopping, this property boasts one of the best locations on the island.



The Space:

Captain Ed's is one of 6 cottages within the historic Palmview of Sanibel, each one beautifully appointed with a distinct theme. The Palmview Inn offers vibrant fully equipped cottages within walking distance to Sanibel’s famous shelling beaches and the Gulf of Mexico. Complimentary adult bikes and beach equipment are provided to explore the nearby bike paths, or to enjoy a day at the beach full of fun under the sun.



We are pet friendly for up to two dogs up to 50lbs each. If you will be traveling with pets please notify us after confirming your booking so that we can update your reservation accordingly. Per pet fee of $75 will apply.



Guest Access:

Guests enjoy free access to our Gigabit mesh internet service, bikes, beach gear, grill and cooking area as well as a communal laundry room. Experience beautiful, lush grounds with colorful vegetation and multiple outdoor private seating areas, including a Tiki hut, hammock, and dining tables with large shades.



The Neighborhood:

The cottage is situated on the desirable East End of Sanibel, which is equidistant to almost every sought after beach on Sanibel. You will be near restaurants, shopping, and activity, while still far enough removed to be reminded that you are on vacation and provided ample opportunity to socially distance away from the hustle bustle that can characterize island life. This location is also advantageous in that it provides quick on and off access to the causeway, as to allow guests a quick commute into and from Fort Myers without having to contest with seasonal traffic.



Other Things to Note:

Guests must complete rental agreement prior to the stay.

A non-refundable cancellation fee of $100 will apply for reservations cancelled prior to the cancellation policy window. This fee covers our credit card processing fees on a refunded deposit payment.



Interaction with Guests:

We are available on site for any needs the guest may have, large or small.

It was quiet and peaceful. Short walk to the beach was nice. We love Sanibel and it's encouraging to see the recovery they have made so far from hurricane Ian.

This is one of our favorite places to go and our favorite place to stay. We have been returning every couple years for the last 20. The new management is super and the renovated units are spotless. The additions to the outdoor seating is nice. It was too cold to use them this time but we will be back.

Perfect Location!

We booked to stay and celebrate our 20th Anniversary and it was just perfect! It was a very easy walk to the beach and if you didn't want to walk there were bikes to use. The grounds around the cottage was clean and very nicely done.

Cottage was very cute and clean. Everything was exactly as described. Close to shopping by car. The beach is a 5 minute walk(no car parking there). King bed was very comfortable— not so much for sleeper sofa; thin mattress so metal frame was felt when lying down. I wish there was a make-up mirror or full-length door mirror in bathroom since the wall mirror was positioned too high to see myself. Otherwise a nice, relaxing stay in a very cute island cottage.

Our Stay

Great location. Could ride bike or walk to beach and periwinkle dr. The food at all the restaurants was outstanding. Even though this island was still in recovery there were lots of businesses open. Beds were very comfortable and everything we needed was in our condo.

Cute room, no wi-fi

The room was cute and the location was excellent. They have some beach equipment that you can use. Unfortunately the wifi didn’t work and the staff brought a hotspot that did nothing.
