Just returned from another recharging stay at Periwinkle Cottages. Already planning our next {5th!} visit which can't come soon enough! We actually live less than 50 miles away, but it seems like another world. With stressful hospital jobs, a dose of Periwinkle is just what the doctor ordered. This time I found the largest lightning whelk I had ever seen!... more

We arrived at the Cottages on Sunday afternoon and Mark, the owner was on premesis and met with us. He was very nice and showed us around. He showed us around the pond and a small alligator was in the pond and stayed around the pond during our stay. Once we were settled in we retrieved our private parking pass... more

My husband and I first stayed at Periwinkle Cottages in 2004. I found them on the internet and booked with Kathy on-line. Upon arrival I missed being right on the water for about 3 seconds. In addition to falling in love with Sanibel, we fell in love with Periwinkle Cottages. We have stayed in The Huron several times, alone and... more

Every November we leave cold, drizzly weather behind in Canada and come to Florida to spend US Thanksgiving with family, but this year we decided to tack on a sidetrip to Sanibel Island. All the good things you have read in the other reviews about Periwinkle are true! It is perfect for people who want a quiet relaxing holiday. We... more

We decided to stay at Periwinkle Cottages because of price and the location on the west end of island. Price was fair and Kathy and Mark were great to deal with. We stopped at Publix in Fort Myers for the basics, and then headed across the causeway. Our cottage was a 1 bedroom with 2 queen beds. It smelled a... more

Just got back from the Periwinkle Cottages - Private Bungalow - one night early. The night before (actually about 3:00 a.m.) the motion detector went off shinning a bright (did I say bright) light through the door and nearly scared us to death. I thought we were being raided. The room was barely acceptable clean and is very small with... more
