Beach Villa 2117: Beachfront Luxury on Captiva

Great location and amenities. Walking distance to beach and most of the Captiva restaurants. Easy check-in and check-out. Heated pool. Condo included everything that we needed, except beach gear that we were able to rent through VayKLife. Beach gear was dropped off before we arrived and picked up after we left. Plenty of parking and easy to get vehicle in/out of guard station (condo is part of South Seas resort).

The amenities were great. But the bedroom window shades were worthless. They had an outside loght that shown into the bedroom. No curtains only slates. It was like daylight in the bedroom. Worst nite ver trying to sleep. The next night we stuffed a comforter over the window, it helped some. Not sure why they had no curtains to block out the light.

Our Host was the best communicator in 10 years of using VRBO. We had two issues. The back sliding door to the condo would not lock. First night it was a little concerning but we gradually felt comfortable. Secondly, the bedroom window is in the front of the condo, and right next to the out door lights for three other entrances. Those four lights were so bright when trying to fall asleep, it was like there was a train engine headlight parked in front of our window. . Primarily a design flaw, but could be fixed with dark drapes , or custom shades. We also didn’t like getting shut out from the amenities offered by South Seas, the resort community that owns the tip of Sanibel Island. . This condo is mutually exclusive with the them. Only way around that is to rent directly through them. We ate all our meals out so we never used the kitchen. As a 50 year expert on renting vacation homes, and having rented from Hawaii to Krakow, Poland, this place is right in the middle of my personal grading system. Cheers to the Host who made every effort to please us. Happy New Year to everyone!

Host was very attentive to our needs and the villa was very clean. There was maintenance work in the area, but not a disruption nor inconvenience. A wonderful farmers market just outside the gate with numerous delicious items. A beautiful beach for miles of walking and shelling. Would definitely go back!

Perfect place!! Everything we needed. Looking forward to returning.

So relaxing!

Nice stay

The place and property was great! We cooked every day and you had everything we needed to do that. The very short walk to the beach was a nice change! And lots of wildlife right behind the room! We loved it. My finance just rebooked for the last week in August! Thanks for making us feel welcome and comfortable!
