Gorgeous Newly Renovated Coastal Cottage "Egret" Minutes to the beach and free bikes!! JULY SAVINGS!

The Egret is a beautiful and newly renovated, beach chic, coastal one bedroom cottage featuring two queen beds. All of our cottages are freshly painted and have new plank tile floors, and feature all new furnishings to make your stay perfect. Enter the cottage through your private screened in lanai featuring a table and four chairs and enter into the open and charming Egret cottage. Here you will find a combination living, kitchen space that is roomy and quaint and has everything you need for a relaxing and restful stay. The Egret cottage overlooks the grounds of the Periwinkle cottages giving you the opportunity to see the stunning wildlife and the charm of the cottages. All of our cottages have thoughtful and unique touches throughout, from the lighting to the coastal art on the walls. This a great cottage to experience "old Sanibel" charm. The beach is just a short stroll away without having to cross any streets. Experience sunsets like never before and explore the most beautiful shells in the world! Be sure the check the low tide chart for the best times for shelling. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Short Stay on the way to the Keys
Great unit that had everything you need- beach chairs, umbrellas, small cooler and everything needed for shelling plus a wagon to haul It in the short walk to the beach. Bikes were an added bonus! Great location! Would stay here again!!!!

Cute & cosy cottage perfect for a few days of solo R&R
The cottage was immaculately clean when I arrived. Very nicely newly renovated throughout. I loved having beach chairs and umbrellas available on the screened porch and numerous bikes parked right outside the cottages. And the mini cooler was great too, to take to the beach. You can leave your beach stuff in the corral along the beach path so you don't have to drag it down there every day; or you can drive and park using the parking pass provided. The beach is easy access and close (~7 min walk or 2 min bike ride) and very clean and not crowded. Working with Kim at Breakaway was great -- very responsive when it came to rebooking a year ago when I had to cancel my trip due to COVID and handling payments. There were a few lingering maintenance issues that an earlier reviewer noted - slow draining tub, missing towel rack in bathroom, and inoperative overbed light--but these weren't major issues for me. And a light on the screened in porch ceiling fan would have been nice as I couldn't use it after dark (other cottages had a light). One head's up though for future potential guests: the cottage is right next to consistently busy main road so you will hear traffic pretty much all the time when sitting outside on the porch. Not a huge issue for me as I live in a big city but those looking for complete silence take note.

Nice but lacks attention to detail
Great location and private beach was great. Needs a walk thru by owner, closet lights and bedroom reading lights didn’t work, no wine corkscrew and only one wine glass in cabinet. Coffee maker but no coffee. Towel rack in bathroom broken and missing. Front large burner on stove not working. For what we paid these kinds of things should be working. VRBO is a rip off with all its fees, better to book direct if possible. Overall was good thx to the beach and bikes on sight.

Anniversary trip
This property was amazing. Close access to the beach. We enjoyed riding the bikes everyday. The bike ride was wonderful through the JN Ding Darling Refuge area. We saw a variety of birds, Dolphins, an iguana and turtles. Shelling was great. Hopefully, we will be back.

Amazing !!
Great place to stay, loved the little cottage feel, has everything you need inside, great location... so close to an awesome private beach! my son (8) was very happy with the 3 wheeled bikes because he was able to ride them.. we took them down to the beach a few times, it was very private and peaceful and we found some really nice shells, look for bunnies on your walk down the path to the beach ! The weather was not great so maybe that’s why there weren’t so many people but it was a really nice beach either way! From check in to check out it was a great experience, we received a text when the room was ready and after we left we realized My son forgot his stuffed animal he sleeps with so I sent a quick text and they responded right away and found it and we were able to pick it up the next day at the property main office! Everyone was so nice, we will definitely book again ! <3

Kim was very helpful and accommodating. We did however experience problems with electricity, not having power to tv or the screened in porch. They provided an extension cord for the tv. However one side of living room had no light. An electrician never showed up. No water available at shell washing station. I do not like writing negative reviews—location was everything. We would like to return but did not like having the basics.

We enjoyed our stay last week at Periwinkle Cottages. It's a great way to have a socially distanced vacation. The neighborhood was quiet, the beach is right down the street and they provide wagons, chairs and beach umbrellas for guests' use. They also have plenty of bicycles to explore the area. The cottage was cute, comfortable and clean. It is updated but still was built in the 1950s so some features like the windows are original. I would return to this location in the future

Quaint and convenient
Such a relaxing and magical place to visit!! We enjoyed that we were in a neighborhood setting, with friendly neighbors. The cottage was immaculate! The maintenance guy stopped by for a routine maintenance and addressed some very minor concerns which weren’t negatively impacting our stay but definitely made our stay better!! We had easy access to the beach and nice beach amenities were provided for us to use during our stay. Before our arrival we sent two different emails (one through HomeAway and the other in response to our check in email) and did not receive a response. However once we arrived, multiple text messages were sent back and forth. I’m glad that upon arrival the communication was much better! This is alligator territory and while we didn’t see any alligators, two different neighbors did warn us that they frequent the cottage area and surrounding neighborhood. I would have preferred to hear about this as a part of the check in information and have some alligator safety tips provided, just like was done for the “no-see-ums.”
