Fantastic location
Great location to the beach and phenomenal pool to have for kids and to lounge around in. Lots of mosquitoes by the pool so bring bug spray.

Great location
The house is a great size and in a fabulous location. We had 7 adults and 3 children under 3 and had ample room. Our major complaint, and this is no fault of the home owner at all, was the cleanliness when we arrived. Items sitting around were dusty. Ceiling fans were dirty. Carpet had visible items not vacuumed up. We tried to use the vacuum at the house but canister was full. Foliage around pool was overgrown so items kept falling in the pool and the floor of the pool remained dirty. Yard crew was there the day before we left to trim. So I’ll repeat the house was great and the home owner had no control over our issues. We did inform Royal Shell when we left. Again location is great!!!

Christy, We are dismayed that the house was not perfectly clean when you arrived. We have discussed these issues with Royal Shell and they will be addressed. In the future, if anything needs to be addressed, please contact Royal Shell immediately and they will take care of it.

We enjoyed this beautiful home immensely. The pool, hot tub and deck were fabulous. Loved the dense palms making a wall on one side of the pool. Access to the beach was perfect. Screen porch delightful. We walked to all the restaurants too. We had to call maintenance for no hot water in the house. Sunsets were a daily routine. Fun for all ages and beautiful. It was a destination vacation celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary with our two children and their families. Would love to return! Bedspreads could be updated One of the duvet sheets was soiled at edge

Beautiful house and great location. Walking distance to beach, restaurants, gift shops and grocery store. Only complaint would be chairs in living room were very uncomfortable. Would have been nice to have had another king size bed. Would definitely stay here again

Relaxing getaway
Our family had a great time visiting Captiva and Bellativa. The short walk to the beach made it easy to experience island life. There was plenty of space to spread out and lots of ways to entertain family in the house. Short walk to local shops and restaurants. Would definitely stay again if given the opportunity.

Wonderful week in Captiva!
Our group of six had plenty of space to spread out in this large 4-bed, 4.5 bath house. We liked the big kitchen, pool and hot tub, outdoor grill, screened-in porch, and balcony. The beach is an easy walk just across the street and down a shady path. The beach chairs, a wagon, and plenty of towels were provided. The house could use a little updating, such as new carpeting in a few areas. We had a great week and would definitely stay in this house again.

Perfect layout and location for our family
We stayed at Bellativa with our 4 grown children and their spouses for Christmas. Everyone had their own private rooms/bathrooms, with lots of gathering spaces for hanging out, watching Christmas movies and playing games together. Each couple took a turn to cook dinner, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The pool and hot tub were perfect for the few times that it was too windy for the beach. The house is close to the great restaurants and shops in town - we rarely used our car once we got there. I would highly recommend this property!

Great time
We had a great time at Bellativa. We had four couples including my wife and I. The bedrooms were good and the kitchen was very nice. The pool and hot tub came in very handy as the weather was not overly cooperative. But we liked it a lot.

Thanks so much for a great stay! The house was spacious and very comfortable. The pool and landscaping made us feel like we were at a resort and just a short walk to the almost private beach and we were in heaven. Can’t wait to return!

Relaxing family beach vacation
The house and the location made our family beach vacation wonderful. We would definitely come back to the house and the area. Easy walk to the beach with a 21 month old. Fun at the pool when you were tired of the bright sun at the beach. There was some confusion at check in because I was instructed by Royal Shell Vacation(property manager)in an email we had to get the house keys in Sanibel. We actually got the keys at the Captiva office.

Great getaway
The property was accurately described and closer to the beach then we imagined. Everything we needed on the island was a short walk away. Royal Shell was able to answer all our questions about the house and came at a moment’s notice to show us how to work the pool and hot tub, turn on the gas for the grill, and tighten a loose kitchen faucet. We enjoyed the house for 2 weeks with our 3 children and would absolutely return.

The house appropriately named Bellativa and location were perfect! We walked few steps to beach or hung out at amazing secluded pool and hot tub. Huge kitchen to cook in or walking distance to restaurants. Can’t say how much we loved this house and Captiva! Would highly recommend and hope to come back!

We had to reschedule
Michael was amazing. He let us reschedule to next spring break because of the crazy COVID19 pandemic. We can’t thank him enough. We have a son that is immune compromised so there was going to be no way we could travel. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We truly appreciate your generosity and kindness

October trip
Great house, great beach access, pool and spa very nice bonus. Only negative to a great trip, pool and spa did not work for the first two days, and washer and dryer both had to be replaced while we were there. Had this been a 7 day vacation would have been a significant issue, the 14 days made it not as large of an item.

A little slice of heaven
Excellent home. Clean. Well appointed. Pool was great. Had no issues during our stay. Little expensive during Spring Break week but that is to be expected I guess. Could use a knife sharpener in the kitchen. But really; this place is perfect. Right next to the beach. Quiet street. You will never regret staying here. We will be back, God willing.

Bellativa as great! Beautiful home in pristine condition.
Bellativa is in the perfect location- on a quiet street with a short walk to beach and Andy Rosse lane. Everything is right there, if you want it. But staying at the house is fun too. The pool and hot tub were awesome. — beautiful,, lush landscaping. They have a beach cart, numerous beach chairs and umbrellas with the house, so no rentals needed. It’s also a large house, with a great layout. Even with 12 people, teens and adults had plenty of space and privacy. We’ll be back.

Perfect!
This house was perfect for our family vacation. My husband and I were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary and we brought our four 20something kids and their significant others. We had so much fun! The house was great for cooking together, playing games, hanging in the hot tub and pool but also plenty of room that we weren’t on top of each other! The location is ideal, steps away from the beach. Shops and restaurants so so close! The house has everything you need.

Beautiful home, perfect location
Very comfortable and well-equipped home. Very close to the beach, walkable to restaurants and a grocery store. Lovely pool and hot tub. The only thing lacking was the bicycles that were listed as part of the home when we rented but which according to Royal Shell were no longer available.

Wonderful home in a great location.
Bellativa is appropriately named. This home has everything you need to make the most of your stay on the island. It's an easy walk to the beach or you can stay in and enjoy the pool and hot tub! I wish I knew in advance they have beach toys for the kids and pool toys so I didn't need to pack these. Fully stocked kitchen with appliances and chef quality stove. They only thing I can criticize is that the top floor showers never had hot water and the jetted bath in the master suite did not work.
Response from VrboOwner on Mar 23, 2020
Donna Thank you for your kind words. We are happy that you had a wonderful week in Bellativa. We have contacted our management company Royal Shell, and they have no record of your calling about the hot water or the tub in the master bath. We would like to look further into this matter to ensure that everything is perfect for our guests. No one else has mentioned these problems and this is quite puzzling. We would appreciate it if you would contact us with any additional information. Gail
