Anthony Beach Cottages - 49 Sunset Captiva

The house was beautiful and the photos provided on the website were extremely accurate. The host was very responsive in answering questions and problems along the way..

Perfect location for Captiva. Easy walk to the beach with private access. Nice pool area in the sun. House could use a few updates but is a great value.

This was our first time staying in Captiva after vacationing in Sanibel for the past 10 years, and we’re so glad we made the switch. Our group included five adults and a five-month-old, and the space fit us perfectly.We’re not fancy people, so the fact that the unit wasn’t updated (as mentioned in other reviews) did not bother us at all. The kitchen was well stocked, the beds were comfortable, and everything we needed for a relaxing stay was provided.The property itself was fantastic. We played pickleball every day, and the pool was warm, clean, and well maintained, with plenty of seating for lounging. Jensen’s is directly across the street—perfect for sunrise views and even spotting manatees. The beach is an easy five-minute walk, where we enjoyed gorgeous sunsets and took beautiful family photos.The location is ideal with so much within walking distance—restaurants, ice cream, coffee at the Bubble Room, and Starbucks just an eight-minute walk away. South Seas is also starting a day-pass option for their pools and water slides, which we look forward to checking out on our next visit.The unit included four beach chairs, an umbrella, and two camping chairs. A wagon would have been helpful for transporting items to the beach, but it was manageable. We also took a sunset cruise from McCarthy Marina, only a five-minute walk away, and it was absolutely picture-perfect.We can’t wait to return and would happily stay here again.

The location of this home is great! It is a quick walk to Andy Rosse and having docks available for fishing and Manatee watching was a major plus. The house itself is in some need of updating, but nothing major. I would definitely rent it again.

Location was great. Property could use a few updates.

Great location close to the beach and beautiful pool and restaurants. House has everything we needed. Had one issue which the property manager fixed right away. Will definitely stay here again

You can't beat the location and setting of John Anthony's beach cottage. Very close to both beach and bay, and located within a lovely, private community. House could use some upgrades and bit more maintenance. Yet make no mistake: this is a fantastic place and we had a lovely time. Thanks, John Anthony!

Wonderful location in Captiva! Walkable to beach, restaurants and pool. A few minor maintenance issues addressed quickly. Clean, comfortable and easy place to stay with a 4 and 6 year old!

We had a great stay in Captiva over spring break. This home is located in Sunset Captiva, a small neighborhood with a well-maintained community pool, newly refinished tennis and pickelball courts, newer gas grills, and an easy, short walk to the beach. The beach is beautiful. I would note that the home itself is dated and there is some deferred maintenance. However, it was clean and the host was helpful and responsive.

The property is in a great location for walking to everything. The property is in need of some minor maintenance. It’s obviously not being checked before the next rental. Drains partially clogged and many lights that don’t work but we still enjoyed our stay. The second bedroom should have a queen bed as well as the bunk bed instead of the twin. The main floor and deck is nice. The kitchen is also fine. The manager communicated with us but never accomplished anything while we were there. Probably better for a family with kids than four adults. Overall we enjoyed the time.
