Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This place was a huge disappointment and absolutely not what I expected based on the Expedia rating. The unit was tiny, outdated, and not very clean, with paper-thin walls and ceilings - we could clearly hear the guests upstairs late into the night and again early in the morning. There was no proper lobby or on-site staff, the AC created so much condensation that surfaces and even the TV were wet, and basic touches like coffee for the coffee maker were missing. While the beach was nearby, the property itself felt run-down and honestly worth maybe a third of what they charge.

Our room #3) was amazingly clean. We had everything we needed (except some hangers in the closet) for visiting the beach; towels, chairs) and a wagon to transport them. The king bed was comfortable. Location is key, only a 5-minute walk to the beach. I felt safe here and we will hopefully be back for a 3 time next year

The location of the cottage was good and there was plenty of room to park a car. Everything (restaurants, shopping, grocery store, ice cream, etc.) was within easy driving distance. There were plenty of extra towels for the beach, beach chairs and bicycles for our use. The beds were comfortable. On the downside, the bedrooms were small. So much so that we couldn't fully open the door without hitting the bed. In addition, in the bedrooms there was no storage (chest of drawers) to put clothing or anyplace to put a suitcase, except on the floor. There was a tall chest of drawers in the living room area. One of these in each of the bedrooms would have been very useful but not so much where it was. Everything considered, we would stay here again.

I stayed at the Sandpiper, unit #1 which is a two bedroom. The Palmview is a couple doors down. Bedrooms are small but both have comfortable queen beds. Everything worked, and if I had decided to make meals I had pots, pans, utensils and spices to work with. The staff provides starter kitchen supplies, extra toilet paper, and if you need clean towels, just call the office. If this place had a pool, I'd give it four stars. They do have some beach cruiser bikes that you can use for free for a morning ride to the beach. The nearest beach at the end of Donax is walkable if you're not lugging a bunch of stuff with you. Oh, they have the beach stuff there too! Staff is extremely responsive. I had a couple minor issues and someone came out the next morning to clear out the bathroom sink drain and pump up the tires on the bikes. They allow dogs, and there is a small fenced area in the backyard for the dogs to go.

Extra amenities were available upon request. Housekeeping is available upon request. Check in was easy and information about The Palmview Inn and Sanibel were available. We were within walking distance to the beach and a convenience shop. Traffic is not busy at this stay. It feels very private as it is a cottage with outside sitting and gathering. Washer and dryer is available and accessible. We loved our stay.
