We just got back from our vacation today and me and my family of 5 are already missing this tropical treasure. The location can't be beat. A short walk to the beach or quick ride to restaurants. They provide a wagon, beach chairs and umbrella if you have little ones. We spent every morning in the hot tub when it was still chilly and the afternoon at the beach and pool. Definitely go visit this little slice of heaven.

House was clean and comfortable but fairly outdated. This is the fifth or sixth property we’ve stayed at in the village over the years. Acceptable property but not our favorite. Close to the beach, and close to the Andy Rosse stuff, but could definitely use some capital improvement dollars to get it into this century. Bathrooms and kitchen need to be upgraded. Pool was nice and I do like that it was heated for our January visit. House includes a washer and dryer but the setup was janky: they are on the front porch and wall cabinets inhibit the washing machine access. Check in was super simple. We had no issues that warranted contacting management.

Thoroughly enjoyed our week. The house is well appointed and a short walk to the beach, restaurants, and the general store. The pool was a refreshing cool down after the beach and fishing. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing stay on Captiva Island.

Captiva-ted!!!
Perfect location with the beach, restaurant, and shops just a few steps away! The kitchen was well stocked with lots of utensils and cookware. The bathrooms could use some TLC, but overall it was a very comfortable house for our family. Perfect getaway in Captiva!

Exceeded Expectations
Beautiful property in a perfect location. Seconds from the beach. Private pool in the backyard was great. Comfortable accommodations. Location is a short walk to the village of Captiva. We enjoyed area restaurants, bike ride in the nature preserve, parasailing, and soaking up the sun at the beach and pool. Also rented a golf cart which added to the whole experience. Highly recommend this wonderful property.

A wonderful two weeks.
My wife, son and his girlfriend stayed here for two weeks. It's a great location - close to the beach and close to the restaurants and shops in town - easy walking distance to both. And yet the neighborhood itself is very quiet.
The house was adequately equipped with cleaning supplies when we arrived and clean. And the interior decorating is very cool.
The house is ideal for a family with two small kids. If you had more kids or guests it might be a little tight as the other people would have to sleep on the pull out couch which is not ideal.
Overall it is a great place. I would definitely stay here again next time we go.

Beautiful house close to beach
I recently stayed at this property with my husband and two small children and the house was perfect. It is really a beautiful and fun place to stay in a great location only a very short walk from the beach and restaurants/shops. The house was private and the closest beach never crowded.
