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

The cottage was as advertised and ready for us when we arrived. It is in a good location as it borders on the "Ding" Darling Wild Life Refuge. We came for quiet and birds-- we found both. Although the four "cottages" are clustered quite close together there is a real sense of privacy. The bikes available for guests were in... More

Four beautifully maintained and well appointed 1959 cottages, a short walk to a gorgeous beach. A beach parking pass is included at no extra charge. We stayed in Egret which was perfect for us. Mark and Kathy are wonderful hosts, had great recommendations for food and activities and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, hated to leave. We'd return in a... More

Periwinkles is a very nice place to stay. Owners, Mark & Kathy are so nice and accomadating. We have stayed there numerous times, always enjoyable. Smaller place, 4 cottages and one bungalow. We really like staying in Sandpiper. Perfect size for 2 people. Nice little deck out back, a gazebo, and a pond with plenty of wildlife. In our stays... More

First of all, the owners, Mark and Kathy made us feel like old friends with their hospitality, but were never intrusive. They were always ready to help point us in the right direction, but respected our privacy which allowed us this much needed and relaxing getaway. The reasonable rates were what initally led us to Periwinkle, but the pleasant phone... More

My daughter and I really enjoyed our stay at Periwinkle. The unit was clean and well maintained. The walk to the beach was short and enjoyable. There were beach towels, beach chairs and bicycles that I enjoyed. The ride to the refuge was short and also enjoyable. We also had everything that we needed in the kitchen. It was also... More
