Relax among the tropical sights and sounds in this charming Duggars Tropical Village Cottage

Duggers #2 was a perfect cottage for what we were looking for. It had a rustic charm that is not easily found in Sanibel and was impeccably clean and tidy when we arrived. The little colony of 7 cottages was quiet and peaceful and remarkably friendly. It's a mix of owner occupied and rental units. We took full advantage of its proximity to the beach and were able to stroll across the road for sunrises and sunsets in addition to spending some glorious afternoons under the beach umbrella thoughtfully provided. We rented bicycles and pretty much were car-free throughout the week as Ding Darling and the Shell Museum and Tarpon Bay Explorers and food stores are all close by. We lacked for nothing in the cottage itself. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom clean and modern with an excellent shower, the kitchen is a study in efficiency, and the decor is whimsical and tasteful. We were blessed with ideal weather during our week. I would definitely recommend Dugger #2 to people who appreciate the simple charm of a low-key and unfussy vacation accommodation.

We were delighted with this fine little cottage and its old Florida charm (have already rebooked for next year). The kitchen had everything we needed, and the large, flat-screen TV was an unexpected plus, although we were unable to change channels with the remote (an instruction sheet would be helpful). The white, open ceiling and exposed rafters provided an enhanced sense of space and, along with the living area and bedroom ceiling fans, helped keep us comfortably cool throughout our stay (we never used the air conditioner). We also appreciated the nice beach chairs and umbrella, as well as the easy access to both beach and bike path. A great and quiet little “village” in an equally great and quiet part of the island.

Our sole disappointment was the deeply soiled, off-white bedroom carpet, which appeared beyond cleaning and spoiled the effect of an otherwise clean and bright interior. Replacing this with tile, as in the rest of the space, would be a most welcome improvement.

We spent two wonderful weeks in this cute cottage. The decor was very well done and we had everything we needed. My husband loved the huge TV and all the variety of options to watch in the evenings after seeing the most beautiful sunsets every night. The beach was across the street and we spent everyday there collecting awesome shells, watching for dolphins and just plain relaxing! This definitely will be a place we want to return to and make more great memories. We loved it❤

My wife, Alicia an I enjoyed staying in your cottage. It was very relaxing after we came in from the beach or just touring the island.I would recommend to anyone who wants to visit the island to contact you for their stay. The other guest who stayed in the area were friendly and helpful. We appreciate you letting us stay in your cottage for the week. We will spread the word to our friends about your place. It was well worth it.

This small cottage across the street from the beach was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. The wi fi worked great and it was relatively quiet when we stayed around the first week of November. We would definitely stay there again.
