Great location and the room was well equipped for the weekend. The ONLY thing we could have asked for is a dog wash/rinse station or a hose attached to the outdoor shower to rinse off after being on the beach. Thanks for a great stay.

It was close to the beach, and bikes have been provided. There is a mold smell in the room, and walls are very thin, you can hear next door neighbors coughing or talking.

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.

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.

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!

We stayed at the Palmview Creole Garden 7/18-7/21. I highly recommend the cottages and property. We had a wonderful time! The beach chairs and umbrella were in great condition, high quality and very convenient. The bikes were as well and we had great times riding them around the island. We had a couple of small issues but they were quickly resolved by the attentive staff. The cottage was perfect in size for the 3 of us and the kitchen and amenities in it were enough to cook things. The seating area is very inviting near the BBQ. My small suggestion would be to put tiki torches or some kind of bug repellant there. Bring bug spray!! Doc Fords and Mudbugs were excellent places to eat. Huxster's Store has delicious sandwiches. Overall, a wonderful weekend vacation. I will be staying at the Palmview anytime I return to Sanibel.

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.
