SOUTH SEAS BEACH VILLA 2428 | Captiva Condo In South Seas With Gulf Views!

This was the perfect property for our family trip! It was so clean, kitchen stocked with everything we needed, and the location was just steps from the beach. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, everyone had the personal space needed to keep even teenagers happy. The screened in porch was so luxurious to read on at sunset and enjoy a quiet cup of coffee in the mornings. We needed to contact the host due to a power outage and they were professional and very responsive. My family will definitely be back!

My family and I stayed three nights at this unit and had a wonderful time. The view from the Lanai was amazing and we felt that we had enough space for our toddler. The unit was also clean and check in/out process was easy. Also we had access to the amenities at tween waters resort which was great!

definitely recommend this place

We love this location. It’s our 4th or 5th time staying in Captiva. We prefer the south end Beach Condos. The unit worked well for our family of 5. It had a big couch which turned into a sleeper sofa. Some of the restaurants were open, but some were still closed. We went to Sanibel for other options too. It was a great week. There is alot of construction going on. We just hope the new plans don’t change the relaxed setting we love at South Seas.

Great location on the island. Gated community but a five minute bike ride to town shops etc. unit was clean and comfortable.

We have enjoyed many visits to Captiva Island but this was first since Hurricane Ian. Our unit was in wonderful condition - very attractive and well-supplied with kitchen equipment. We planned to mostly eat in given that not as many restaurants are up and running. We spent our days walking the beach and closely observing the osprey pair on their nest and their favorite perching tree right next to our screened porch.

Great management. Great communication. Would stay again anytime.

Our stay was very enjoyable despite a couple big setbacks. Condo was decorated very nicely, with the exception of a stained bathtub. The condo was clean with the exception of a fair amount of sand in the living room. Since this is a beach condo, it was not the end of the world. Location was terrific. Everything we could possible need was less than a 5 minute drive away. We loved the screened-in porch from which we watched the sunset over the water each night. WiFi was glitchy, so watching TV was sometimes challenging, but I didn’t come for the TV and internet so I wasn’t bothered. The stay would have been perfect had it not been for a couple setbacks: 1) The elevator was broken. I understand that much of the island is still recovering from Hurricane Ian, however I wish this was included in the listing. I found out the elevator was not working only a few days prior to my trip, at which point I could not find another option as everything was booked. This was a big setback because I am pregnant, am towing a 16 month old, and was traveling with my parents (one of whom has a bad back and a double knee replacement). There was a total of 28 stairs plus a platform. 2) There were not enough beach chairs/umbrellas for all of us. For a two bedroom, I was expecting 4 chairs and 2 umbrellas. There were only two chairs and one umbrella so we had to rotate. There was also no beach cart or way to carry the beach chairs and umbrella to the beach. This was challenging for us.

The unit we rented was well kept except for the A/C unit which was filthy. Otherwise clean and tidy. However, the BIG negative of this experience was the very misleading pricing. The room rate was advertised at a specific daily rate. I originally included the dollar amount of the daily rate but my review was flagged as that is not allowed per the VRBO guidelines. So I then had to edit and amend my review. Bottom line, the final invoice after the outrageous fees amounted to a nightly room rate in excess of 67.92% above the original quoted nightly rat!!! I was shocked that they charge (and hide) such a large amount of fees. Although legal I’m sure, it appeared to be a classic bait and switch that succeeded. They got me once but will never do it again. Live and learn I guess.

Loved the location and views.
