"Before and during our stay, Lacey promptly answered our questions. She made some suggestions which made our stay more fun."

"This was a very nice property and overall great experience! The owners were very easy to get ahold of and the property manager was very helpful on both arrival and departure… our vacation could not have gone smoother and my kids did not want to leave. "

"We had an amazing stay at this beautiful home in North Captiva! From the beginning, communication with the hosts was super clear, friendly, and full of empathy. they truly cared about making our stay perfect. The house is in a fantastic location and has absolutely everything you need for a wonderful family vacation. The pool was amazing, the rooms were spacious and spotless. We found everything we needed and felt right at home. If I ever come back to the island, I would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended! Thank you for everything "

"If you want to be close to the water and beach, hear the waves, enjoy the sunset, this is place to stay on North Captiva! No other place is closer, or has a better view. Big on the Beach is it! Thanks to Bob and Wendy the place was ready for occupancy. They picked us up at the docks, carted our luggage to the house, and gave us a comprehensive orientation of all this spectacular house has to offer. When our week was up, Bob and Wendy were again there to help. Thank you! The house was immaculate and well suited for super large groups like our own. It offered plenty of beds and convenient bathrooms for all of us. And the kitchen is well equipped for fixing large meals or casual snacks for large groups. Much thanks to Bob and Wendy for making this a pleasant family vacation, and to Stephanie (the owner) for sharing her wonderful house and spectacular location with us. We love Big on the Beach!"

"The host was available day and night! "

"The house is beautiful, and the location and view is great! However, we had a list of issues. NO hot water until our last day (so - cold showers), a broken chair, the pocket door to the bath was stuck in the wall so we could not close the door where the shower is, no vanity lights in that bath - just wires showing, a broken screen laying against the house and 2 piles of animal feces on the balcony that the host said they'd clean up (we ended up doing it ourselves on our last day), the lights in the patio/entertainment area did not work, the water dispenser in the fridge did not work or the ice maker and we could not use the tap water as the reverse osmosis system was in-op making the water super salty and unusable for drinking or coffee. We contacted property management about the chair and hot water on the first day, then as the other issues arose. We also contacted the host. The hot water was the only issue resolved - on the afternoon of our last day. I asked our host for some reimbursement who forwarded my message to the prop mngt company. We requested 750 of the 2800 we had paid. Laurie at Tortuga (who was very responsive during all of this) sent our request to the owner and he never responded to either of us. I know problems arise and can be harder to address on the island. However, the silence from the host in the end - to not even address our request, is very disappointing. I feel like how a problem is addressed can speak volumes on how you do business. "

"Host was great in helping us find accommodations last minute and handling anything we needed during the stay. Very nice quiet property."

"The island and location were exactly what we needed! Disconnecting was our goal! The communication with the property managers coming into our trip was good. All questions were answered. There was an issue with our “late arrival”. There is no indication in any of the information that stated what a late arrival was considered, but just a mention of a 75 fee for it. We were arriving on the last ferry at 6:30pm and that is considered late. The hours of check in are 4pm-5:30. So be aware of that when you travel. Our groceries were ordered ahead of time and put away for our arrival. That’s totally worth the extra money!!! There are spices there, such as S&P, Pam, but not much else. The living space and bedrooms are great! We were comfortable and had a great visit!The beach chairs, small cooler and umbrella were a great benefit!!The listing for the house showed bikes, kayaks, paddles, and carts for them. There was only 1 kayak, no paddle, no cart, and no bikes. This was actually a draw for us with this property. We had a few issues with the golf cart that is provided. When notifying the property about it, we got no response. Then when it quit working altogether, we were told that there was no one to help us and it’s unfortunate. It had rained and several of the roads were flooded, so we walked barefoot to get places! We will definitely be back to the island, probably not using this property management group. "

"We have stayed at many different houses on the island this this one is for sure one of my favorites. The kitchen had all the gadgets including an ice maker that came in very handy. Definitely the coldest AC on the island! The heated pool also had cooling feature which we really appreciated cooling down after those long hot summer days. The property management staff was on point. Anytime we needed something fixed or addressed they were attentive and quick. Very happy with our stay overall. The only extra thing that would have been nice to have would have been bikes for the tweens to get around the island on their own."
