Creole Garden Cottage at Palmview Inn of Sanibel

Summary:

Welcome to Creole Garden, a beautifully appointed studio cottage located in the newly renovated, Palmview Inn! The cottage features a king bed, a sleeper sofa, a full bathroom and a comprehensive kitchenette featuring a fully equipped inventory. Festooned with gorgeous palm trees and an ever present ocean breeze, Palmview Inn has been the choice of many travelers year after year. Close to beaches, dining and shopping, this property boasts one of the best locations on the island.



The Space:

Creole Garden is one of 6 cottages within the historic Palmview of Sanibel, each one beautifully appointed with a distinct theme. The Palmview Inn offers vibrant fully equipped cottages within walking distance to Sanibel’s famous shelling beaches and the Gulf of Mexico. Complimentary adult bikes and beach equipment are provided to explore the nearby bike paths, or to enjoy a day at the beach full of fun under the sun.

Guest Access:

Guests enjoy free access to our Gigabit mesh internet service, bikes, beach gear, grill and cooking area as well as a communal laundry room. Experience beautiful, lush grounds with colorful vegetation and multiple outdoor private seating areas, including a Tiki hut, hammock, and dining tables with large shades.



The Neighborhood:

The cottage is situated on the desirable East End of Sanibel, which is equidistant to almost every sought after beach on Sanibel. You will be near restaurants, shopping, and activity, while still far enough removed to be reminded that you are on vacation and provided ample opportunity to socially distance away from the hustle bustle that can characterize island life. This location is also advantageous in that it provides quick on and off access to the causeway, as to allow guests a quick commute into and from Fort Myers without having to contest with seasonal traffic.

Great little cottage

Enjoyed the closeness of the beach then relaxing in our little cottage that was clean and comfortable. We drove to some restaurants but could have easily walked to others. I did have some confusion as to how to make the payments. In all my past bookings through Vrbo, they took care of the payments, using my credit card. This my misunderstanding. It all worked out fine as I worked through the owner of the property.

Sanibel Cottage

We stayed for 3 nights and this little oasis was so cute, clean and convenient. We loved our time here and the units are so new. Also, so close to the beach we could walk back to have lunch and check on our 4-legged furry baby. Only 2 complaints: the wall between the units was not insulated enough so you can hear your neighbors. Too bad that wasn't better insulated. Also, the parking is very tight and we didn't feel comfortable parking at the sister resort a few doors down. Also, the people using the unit next to us had more than 1 car and took up space they shouldn't have. Each unit should only be allowed 1 car. Thank you for a wonderful accommodation. We wanted to escape St. Pete for a few days and this was perfect, made even better that it was pet friendly!
