Room was clean, bed was comfortable. Very dark, lights were missing. Very uncomfortable sitting area. Laundry was very convenient. Staff was friendly and helpful. Only sink was in bathroom and it was absurdly tiny. Appliances were fine, no freezer in fridge.

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

Got a 2 BR Cottage. It was not a Cottage. Cottage is a small simple house near a beach or lake. It's near a beach. Is a 2 BR Motel room. Bedrooms are small. Bedroom doors do not completely open before hitting bed. Bed is more like a Full vs Queen. Walls are thin. Individual room A/C to go no lower than 72 degrees.

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.
