Modern 2-Bedroom Retreat Steps from Captiva Beach

It is near Sol Mate, and together they make a wonderful and unusually private vacation complex for up to 20 guests total. Two sets of stairs lead down to the landscaped grounds, with sand and shell paths through the tropical flowers and plantings. A generous sundeck on the west side (typically shaded by the banyan tree in the hotter part of the afternoon) is furnished and has a gas grill, as well as a hot outdoor shower for rinsing after a swim in the Gulf.

This modern abode is perched in the trees on the second floor. The clean and bright interior opens onto the porch which runs the entire length of the front. Two sets of three-panel sliding glass doors may be rolled away to give the feeling of an open treehouse facing toward the beach (partial view).

The interior is freshly painted, with new carpet, new bedding, and window treatments. This is a delightful place to unwind and enjoy the great Captiva weather. Being this close to the beach is really convenient – no long walks on hot pavement! There are televisions in both bedrooms and in the living room. Covered parking for two cars is provided under the building.

The primary bedroom suite occupies the northeast part of the house. It has a private bathroom with a tub and shower.

The guest suite is on the southeast and has one queen bed. The en suite bathroom also has a tub and shower.

For additional guests, there is a queen-size sleep sofa in the living room.

Soulmate too

We had a wonderful stay at this sweet cottage. New construction blocks the full view but there’s still enough view to see sunset from the lanai! Location is fabulous. The beds are queens and extremely firm but other than that, the cottage has everything you’d need. Albert at American Realty was absolutely wonderful. Excellent vacation!

Nice stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Property was clean and comfortable and owner very responsive. Kitchen decently equipped and unit has a washer and dryer. There’s one property in front of this one so there’s just a partial ocean view but access to the beach is very easy and convenient with a pathway that gets you there in 30 seconds. We appreciated the beach chairs, towels, and umbrella. Overall it was an enjoyable stay for our family.

Watch the sunset from the lanai

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We couldn't get to Captiva last year, due to hurricane damage. This year our usual cottage still was not ready, so we took this larger house for a shorter period. It is very roomy and nice, with a great place to sit outside and a short walk to the beach. It is more than we need, so we are hoping to go back to the cottage next year, but this would be our second choice

Perfect Florida Getaway!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a lovely escape from Upstate NY for a long birthday weekend. The home was exactly what we were hoping for - two minutes to walk to the beach, close enough to the ocean to hear the waves crashing, plenty of space to stretch out. We'd love to stay here again on our next Captiva getaway!

WHAT A NICE WEEK!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Staying at SOLMATE TOO last week was such pleasure. It is a delightful space and although not ocean front we enjoyed a small, but lovely view of the beach between the trees and the sound of waves rolling in. The house was so comfortable and the lanai a pleasure to sit on anytime of the day. Clean, nicely equipped, conveniently located and tastefully decorated, it made for an especially enjoyable and relaxing getaway. (PS - Management great to work with!)

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was perfect for 3 or 4 people. The house itself was nice and clean upon arrival. There’s a nice partial ocean view from the lanai, which was great for sitting and eating outside. The location to the beach was fantastic. Only a 30 second walk. We were also in walking distance to a number of shops and restaurants. We’d absolutely stay here again.

Good in Many Ways, BUT ...

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The photographs of this property show it at its prime, which is not the way it feels now. The rusting/mildewing front door of the refrgerator sums up the current status of the place. There are numerous ways that it is in need of TLC. If it received that, it could be a very comfortable place. There is the exterior problem of the septic area (the leach field that was very smelly at times) that you have to walk by on your way to the beach. The smells also deflect from the pleasure of sitting on the lanai at times. Not sure how that one gets solved. I hope Captiva joins Sanibel in its waste water management and gets away from all its septic systems.

Lots of potential, but needs some serious TLC

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House is in a great location with gorgeous tropical landscaping only steps from the beach and just a few blocks from town. It looks out at a large house that blocks the ocean view, but those guests were usually on the opposite side of their house other than when parking, so noise was never an issue.The interior of the house is small but sufficient for 2-4 people. The furnishings are worn, dated and minimal. For example, 4 basic wicker chairs at the dining table that no longer have cushions. Huge sliding doors almost the length of the house, but no curtains or blinds for privacy. The metal frame in the upholstered chair in the living area has torn through the fabric and is a health hazard.The kitchen was well stocked, although the refrigerator door has rust and the dishwasher cleans but doesn't dry. Other appliances are newer. There were plenty of bath and beach towels and bed linens.It was great to be able to open the sliding doors onto the screened porch for fresh air and more space, but the porch frame and railings are peeling, rusted, moldy and very unattractive. The cranks are missing from some of the bedroom and bath windows which prevents them from opening.Master bath pocket door wouldn't close, but American Realty did have it repaired while we were there. Overall they were good to work with and were very receptive to our requests.House was fairly clean except for the stains in the bedrooms' carpet and living area throw rugs. The house has the makings to be very attractive and comfortable with some repairs and upgrades.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Sole Mate too is the perfect getaway cottage for two couples. Went with my college roommate and her husband and we had an extraordinary week. The location is perfect, close to the village fabulous for biking and walking! The walk to the beach is a pretty little path. The park like setting that the house overlooks is just wonderful. Tropical paradise for sure. We have already recommended it to friends and they’ve booked a week in July!As an aside to the realty company for the owner, this house could use a dust pan for sweeping up. It also needs a kitchen clock and a full-size coffee pot.

Captivated by Captiva!

The house was very spacious, clean and an easy 2 min walk to the beach. Had a couple of hiccups on arrival and shortly after with patio furniture and washing machine. Management company handled immediately with the delivery of new patio set and washing machine. Extremely satisfied with the whole experience and will look forward to returning again!
