Jun 10, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxing Weekend Such a pretty place in a quiet neighborhood. Looking forward to coming back soon. Loved that bikes, beach items were there for us to use. But loved getting up and sitting on the dock looking at the pond with all it's wildlife in the morning. And the short walk to the private beach was just what the doctor ordered. ##### Nathalie K. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leah R. Nov 23, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Getaway Cottage By the Sea Lovely lovely cottage a short walk to a private beach. Beach gear in the closet (two chairs, an umbrella, and a cooler!). We rode the available bikes to the beach everyday- 3 minute bike ride! Nice lagoon in the back to watch the pretty birds. Room is quaint-just right for 2 people for a 3-day stay! We will for sure be back! (The bed is not comfortable but we made due!!!!) :-) ##### Leah R. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2021 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandra Dawson Jun 19, 2021 #### I love everything about this property . I love everything about this property .. location, pond and wildlife, easy access to the beach. The room was very clean! The shower looked rather new. However, the blinds are bent and broken and small throw pillow is stained and faded. The door is very hard to open and appears to need some trim work completed. The bed was very noisey and the headboard wobbled. I would not consider this room a 5 star room. ##### Sandra Dawson ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Mar 12, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice Island Rental on a Budget Property was very clean. Great location close to Captiva and Sanibel. Bathroom was nice and clean. Only complaints: 1. Beach Parking Pass is ONLY for use on the property’s beach access. I wish this was more clearly stated on the room literature as we found this out the hard way! $150 parking ticket! 2. The bed is awful. Not very comfortable at all. That’s about it. The space is small, like a budget hotel room small. But we didn’t spend a lot of time there. Between the bed and one very uncomfortable chair there was no place in the room to get comfortable for me. 3. The bikes that are supplied are old and not in great working order ( The pedal kept falling off one of them! ) Sanibel/Captiva is a beautiful place. If you’re looking for a 5 Star Resort keep looking. (And there are lots of them on this Island but big $$$$) This is a nice hotel room on a beautiful beach for a reasonable price. I probably wouldn’t choose this again but we did have a great time! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Justine Dec 20, 2021 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication I booked this room for 3 nights but ended up leaving after 1. This is a very small room. The bed is horrible and sleep was impossible. Overall, the extremely small space could be uograded with a small investment (new bed, new window treatments) and you could than call it quaint but as it stands now my suggestion would be to save your money and keep looking. ##### Justine Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2021 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### BARBARA LEGER Sep 21, 2021 #### Lived ut.
