We stayed in the Ibis cottage and it was absolutely wonderful. Great bed, comfortable living space in a quiet setting. Our Sanibel vacation was made just that bit more comfortable because for what they provide for their guests: the use of bikes, beach umbrella, towels and chairs. And the beach is a short walk away. Perfect! I cannot recommend Periwinkle... More

This was our sixth visit to Sanibel Island and our second stay with Periwinkle Cottages. We arrived at the Cottages on Sunday afternoon and Mark, the owner was on premesis and met with us. Once we were settled in we retrieved our private parking pass for the lot at the end of the drive and went to the beach. The... More

Just back from a 3 night stay in the Heron cottage (2 bedroom/2 bath). Clean, quiet and in the perfect location if you want to be on the quiet side of the island. Only a 10 minute drive to Captiva, we found the location to be ideal. The beach at the end of the road was one of the best... More

If you're looking for a low key no fuss stay on Sanibel for the right price and has great extras (a practically private beach just down the same road with free parking!!) then this is your place. I almost hate to leave a review because Periwinkle Cottages deserve to have the kind of people who will really appreciate what a... More

We just returned home from a week at the Periwinkle "Heron" Cottage. It was wonderful. Mark and Kathy Lewis, the owners, are delightfully helpful and friendly without being intrusive. The comfortably furnished cottage included a nice kitchen, dining table and screened porch so that we could eat in when we wanted. We also had a barbecue. The drive to the... More

We rented at Periwinkle for over a week in Nov, 2011 based on prior tripadvisor reviews and our expectations were met. Prior reviewers have done an excellent job of outlining the many pluses of the cottages. This is our additional two cents: 1. We came to Sanibel for the bicycling and to explore the nature refuges/tracts. Periwinke offers a great... More

Our stay at Periwinkle cottages was fantastic. The Ibis cottage was perfect for my wife Carla and I. It was clean and comfy with everything we needed. The neighborhood beach a few minutes away was incredible. We used the bikes supplied by the owners, Mark and Kathy, to get to the beach and back. It was about a 2 minute... More

We were able to stay in the Sandpiper cottage for three nights on an internet special and it was perfect. The owners, Kathy and mark, are outstanding people and were so accommodating. The Sandpiper cottage had been recently updated and had lovely furnishings. The cottage is small, but was perfect for a couple. The cottage had everything we needed and... More
