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!

It was close to the beach, and bikes have been provided. There is a mold smell in the room, and walls are very thin, you can hear next door neighbors coughing or talking.

We enjoyed our stay and the proximity to the beach, which was just a few blocks walk. We appreciated the beach chairs and umbrella that were provided as well. Close to a lot of good restaurants too- we chose to drive, but you could have walked to some of them.

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!

Parking is tight if more than 3 cars are in lot….. no one on premises if you need anything ….. toilet seat was loose and it took 2 days for someone to come take care of it …..couch cushions were stained from prior guests and needed cleaned …. Need to change coffee pots to keurigs in rooms and maybe supply kcups and creamer/sugar packs like hotels do ….. facility was ok at best

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.

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 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.

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 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

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.

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.
