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

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.

Room was clean, bed was comfortable. Very dark, lights were missing. Very uncomfortable sitting area. Laundry was very convenient. Staff was friendly and helpful. Only sink was in bathroom and it was absurdly tiny. Appliances were fine, no freezer in fridge.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Stayed in unit #1 Sandpiper. Loved that there were bikes to use, beach in bike /walking distance. Cottage was very clean and in a relaxing area. Beds too big for the rooms, no space to move around or even open the door all the way. Laundry room was messy and path too dark to comfortably walk to laundry at night. Wasn't concerned about safety just literally couldn't see the ground to walk. Otherwise great stay, I would absolutely go back and stay at the Palmview/Sandpiper again.

We enjoyed our stay and the proximity to the beach, which was just a few blocks walk. We appreciated the beach chairs and umbrella that were provided as well. Close to a lot of good restaurants too- we chose to drive, but you could have walked to some of them.

It was perfect! The bed was comfy cozy, a huge TV (I rarely used it, so much to do outside), nicely appointed bathroom with a wonderful shower and several shampoos and body wash. The kitchen had everything needed for cooking. A couple of hot pads would be a good addition! A short walk to the beach using the wagon provided to each unit loaded with beach chairs and a great sturdy umbrella 🏖️ that screwed into the sand so it didn't blow away in the breeze/wind. Nice beach towels also included! Bikes are provided, although a basket would have been appreciated. I had to carry my groceries home in a bag on my shoulder.(I didn't have a vehicle) The grounds were very nice, with outdoor seating, a DIY bar area, outdoor shower for rinsing off after a day at the beach, and lovely landscaping. I really enjoyed my stay at the Palm View and will definitely return next year!

The property was nice, very clean. Just a few problems, the A/C stopped working after the first day unfortunately, got stuck at 75+ degrees, made the stay pretty bad. Shower is ironically small, like both shoulders touching the wall.

The cottages was super cute and very clean. Bikes were great and plenty. However. The bikes near the trash and shower did not work. It was very dark at night. And because it was wet back there the No-see-ums attacked us while we struggled to get the bikes in the wrack in the dark. I think the bikes should be in a more ideal location. Otherwise place was great, nice people, bikes to the beach were perfect. The path around the island is key as well.

We had a great time at this property! The property seems to be recently renovated so everything was in excellent shape (kitchenware, bedding, beach chairs and umbrella were like new Tommy Bahama). We were on the 2nd floor above 2 units and next to 1 unit and the apartments were very soundproof. You can walk to the beach in a few minutes. We brought our dog who appreciated the fenced in area. I’d definitely recommend staying here if this is your price range!
