Great beach vacation spot for family

This was the perfect spot for family beach vacation. The house was in great shape, kitchen well equipment for cooking in, kids loved the pool area and great to be able to supervise from the overlooking porch and or course location so close to the beautiful beach was great to go back and forth to the house and beach when needed. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful beach vacation

Amazing house just steps from (essentially) your own private beach. Wonderful shells and friendly Dolphins. We so enjoyed the pool and Ping Pong. Perfect property for a family visit. Thank you!!

We came down with our family and friends for my husband’s 50th birthday and this house had everything we wanted and more! Such a beautiful home and location. We’ll definitely be back! Kim

Paradise All Around

The location, house, amenities and everything else associated with our stay at this home were perfect. We were in regular communication with the owners via text, and any question was answered within a few minutes. The pool, hot tub and private path to the beach (2 minute walk) were the highlights. Views of the gulf from the second story and even the kitchen were welcome surprises. We will be back again for sure.

Family-moon

The property was great, the view was top notch,What was aggravating was the fact the listing stated the lawn care team would be there one day throughout our stay. And they were there the ENTIRE trip, the noise was unbelievable while we were trying to enjoy the pool in the mid-morning. I tried to sit out on the deck and drink my coffee and I could only hear leaf blowers When I contacted the managers of the property they sent some generic chatGPT responses. Our trip was still wonderful having family and beautiful sunsets on the beach. We understood the islands are still recovering, so the noise and the power outage (due to maintenance on FPLs part) was not going to ruin our trip. We were very happy with the children’s room on the 3rd level conveniently located next to the master suite. I was nervous because the house did not have child locks on the doors, and I have an adventurous child. The room was bright & had plenty of toys for the kids to occupy themselves with while the afternoon showers held up the sun bathing. All in all Captiva is and was just as magnificent as it’s always been. We comfortable slept 6 of us but you would have plenty of room for a few more. Thanks for the stay…-local lovebirds

Nice vacation home

the home is nice. highlights include the completely screened in huge pool area, which is perfect for kids. the home is tastefully designed and decorated. it's also quite large. on the downside, we were disappointed that we could not check in until 4pm - we arrived about 15 minutes before that and weren't able to get in any earlier. the check out time of 10pm also seemed a bit difficult, and unusual in my experience. during our stay we were advised that roofers were coming out to repair a leak, and some screen repairs around the pool were performed - not a big deal, but it seems like something that ought to be handled when the house is not occupied by guests. access to the beach is through an overgrown path. we also were harassed by some neighboring teenagers nearby. we all agreed it was nice, but i'd have preferred a little more "lax" check in and out times (check in 2pm? check out noon?) , repairs being done before we checked in, and neighbors who had some manners. we wouldn't go back, but it wasn't for the lack of a beautiful property.

Perfect!

Beautiful big house. Well appointed. Heavy rain caused a bit of overflow in the pool but problem was taken care of immediately. Highly recommend. Signs of hurricane recovery permeate both Sanibel and Captiva but everything you might need is open for business (though limited). Our stay was heavenly!

Beautiful Vacation with family

This was such a beautiful home for a vacation with my 3 children and their spouses and my grandchildren. The location to the beach was so close. The pool was amazing. Everyone had an amazing time and looking forward to another vacation there.

House was fine, but were disappointed in upkeep, cleanliness, hot tub heating and supplies. And house is in need of some upkeep and host on VRBO could be more customer friendly. When I texted office they were helpful, when I contacted contact Ryan on VRBO he was always quick to get back to me but not the friendliest most customer service oriented person. Never made us feel like he appreciated our business on a personal level.

Beautiful Home

This home was perfect for our family of nine. Plenty of room to all spread out! The beach is a very short walk from the house which allowed us to go back and forth with two toddlers for lunch and naps. The pool area is large and all screened in with a mini fridge and a full bathroom plus an outdoor shower area to rinse the sand off. So many pool and beach toys too! We would definitely rent this home again!

It was decent

It was ok for a quick get away but the dryer was broken, and the hot tub only worked for one day out of the 4 we were there. Pool was nice. There were some areas that were grimy areas but otherwise a nice place.

This house is a dream! It has everything, location, amenities, truly a dream home away from home. Some girlfriends and I went for a long weekend and had the best time. The beach was almost private and the house exceeded our expectations. It had everything and more that we could have possibly wanted. We are already planning to come back next year.
