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.

The property was nice, very clean. Just a few problems, the A/C stopped working after the first day unfortunately, got stuck at 75+ degrees, made the stay pretty bad. Shower is ironically small, like both shoulders touching the wall.

Great location and the room was well equipped for the weekend. The ONLY thing we could have asked for is a dog wash/rinse station or a hose attached to the outdoor shower to rinse off after being on the beach. Thanks for a great stay.

We had a great time at this property! The property seems to be recently renovated so everything was in excellent shape (kitchenware, bedding, beach chairs and umbrella were like new Tommy Bahama). 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. I’d definitely recommend staying here if this is your price range!

Needed liquid dish soap

The apartment was very nice. There was very little info on what beach equipment we could use so we kinda had to just assume. The cleaning supplies ie dish cleaning supplies were not appropriate. We had dishwasher tabs but no dishwasher. We should have had dish soap but none was provided. This was no biggie just need the owners to pay attention to what they provide. The pillows on the beds were terrible and the mattresses were lumpy but All in all it was a good experience.

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.

Perfect for us with small but fully equipped kitchen, nice bedroom and bath. Only couple small things - recommend a few extra rolls of TP in bathroom and our unit could use some clean-up of paint job (few drops on bathroom floor, edging, etc) but these are small issues as place was great.

The property was well equipped and close to the beach. The only things I thought would be helpful that weren't provided were a door mat to help eliminate bringing sand into the cottage and some place to hang up damp towels, maybe an over the door rack. We would definitely consider staying again.
