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.

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!
