The Parrot Nest is one of the Old-Sanibel cottages located on the quiet East End of the island. Since 1955, our charming cottages have been welcoming visitors and until the early 1960's they were brought to our shores from the mainland by ferryboat. Our cottages are newly renovated in a coastal decor offering you epic comfort, relaxation in a beautiful room. We are within walking distance to the historic Sanibel Lighthouse and fishing pier, beautiful shelling beaches, shopping and restaurants. If you like, use our complimentary bikes and explore miles of paths covering the island and leading to wildlife refuges, kayaking spots, secluded beaches, and meandering past more eateries, shops, and galleries.

That was the only disappointment. Great restaurant right next door though. Hope to return at another time.Thank you, ##### Pam C.

Ideal location to ride bikes to the beach and lighthouse. We would absolutely return and stay there. Only 1 thing would make it a little better, since there’s no sink in the kitchen area a small dish pan would make cleaning the dishes a little more sanitary. Great place!! ##### Debbie M.

I was pleasantly surprised at this fantastic location that was walkable to the beach and had everything we needed to relax for a few days over Thanksgiving break. The kitchen had what we needed and having bikes and beach wagons and chairs was a great convenience. This was an adorable property and just right for the 3 of us. ##### Sara L.

Those bitting little bugs are awful! Bring bug spray or buy some at one of the local shops. The people were friendly. The neighborhood was safe. The food was amazing. Our fav for breakfast was Lighthouse Cafe (especially the mimosas and eggs Benedict). For supper we loved Wickies, Tutti Pazzi and Doc Fords. We never tried Mudbugs, but it looked inviting. We just ran out of time. Doc Fords was the longest bike ride we took and it was very easy. Minimal hills and wide asphalt paths. The only shopping we did was at She Sells Seashells, which had cute local made gifts as well as some mass produced gifts and shells. Shelling at the beach was great too. Bring a container to get them home safely! I will be recommending Sanibel and this cottage to family and friends. Loved every minute of this trip! ##### Heather K.

Jan 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Cottage We enjoyed our stay at Macaw cottage, free bikes to use and the Lighthouse Beach is just a short bike ride away, we shelled everyday and the cottage was large enough for 3 of us easily , wonderful shopping area in the same block, some of the best on Sanibel Island. We will be staying here again !! ##### Annette C.
