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

Charming cottage with all amenities for a longer stay (full kitchen). Quiet, clean and obviously updated with no evidence of the hurricane damage from last year. Will stay here again when we return to Sanibel.

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.

Great value and close to the beach. Area is being rebuilt due to the storm. The inn is more like an Airbnb and parking is limited. the staff is very responsible

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.

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 have stayed at the Palmview/Sandpiper three times over the last several years and look forward to coming back again next year. The property has been beautifully renovated since Hurricane Ian! We love that it is on a quiet street and within walking distance of the beach.

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.

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.
