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 enjoyed our brief 2 night stay at the Sanpdpiper Inn- it was clean and walkable to the beautiful beach. They were great communicators and it was easy to access the property. Unit was cute and nice finishes! Minor things could really improve the Egret suite- a TP holder and towel bar of any kind in the front bathroom, it had neither. Bedrooms smaller than I could tell from the pics, very difficult to impossible to walk around the bed which made nighttime interesting! Unfortunately the previous tenants had obviously been smoking pot - which is against the rules for sure and I could smell it for almost the whole stay. Not the fault of the The Sandpiper but it does color your experience. I would recommend this property overall.

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.

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.

Couldn't Have Been Happier

This place is cool. We were delighted with everything. The only issue was a malfunctioning TV remote control, which management replaced promptly. Definitely plan to stay there next time we visit Sanibel.

We absolutely loved it and would stay again. Only 2 things were the water pressure is nonexistent in the shower which after a day at the beach and trying to wash the sand off isn’t fun and I wish there was a potholder in the room. It’s fully stocked to cook and use the oven but we didn’t have anything to remove the stuff from the oven. But still absolutely would recommend.

We have stayed at the Palmview/Sandpiper three times over the last several years and look forward to coming back again next year. The property has been beautifully renovated since Hurricane Ian! We love that it is on a quiet street and within walking distance of the beach.
