Charming Captiva Cottage with private pool, 300 steps from beach

My family and I traveled from North Carolina to spend a week on Captiva Island, and choosing this home was the perfect decision for our family of four.The kitchen was well-equipped and made it easy to prepare multiple family meals. The home was also stocked with plenty of beach equipment, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Everything was very clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully prepared.The host was excellent and communicated with us via text from day one. She clearly takes great pride in the surrounding garden, and it truly shows. It created the tropical experience we were hoping for and made the stay feel even more special.

The pool was great. It was like staying in a tropical forest. It was secluded but close to the beach and the house was very nice

Pool was wonderful: heated and clean.All the amenities needed. Lovely screened in 2nd story lanai. Plenty of outdoor space plus an eagle’s nest!

Great place beautiful property and loved the eagles nest!

Beach access.

Wonderful,helpful host. Well appointed home with everything we needed to start our 3 week stay. Short walk to pristine beach. Very few people on beach near us. Eagles nest to watch above pool. Nice pool area. Plenty of room. Well worth considering for your next visit.

The privacy was wonderful. The cottage and salt-water pool are in a beautiful tropical garden.

Lovely location with incredible host. Deeded beach was wonderful and ensured we had the private quiet beach we were hoping for. Host was super proactive and responsive.

Our family had a wonderful time! The house was so well stocked! I didnt have to use any of the kitchen staples we brought from home! The place was clean, really cute and in a beautiful location! We enjoyed the bbq grill, lounging at the pool and had a nice little walk to the beach, which we pretty much had all to ourselves! We saw so many dolphins and manatees! It was truly magnificent!! Our hostess was friendly and kind. We got to visit with her about the place while she was doing some yard tending. She had the grounds well kept and full of beautiful plants and trees! We were very impressed and can't wait to visit again! Thank you so much for having us!

My best friend return to Captiva each summer. We found this absolute GEM for our weeklong stay. Everything that was listed was exactly as it was. The house was clean and very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with pots/pans and cooking utensils. The house had plenty of books, puzzles and even toys for any young children that are staying there. There are 3 smart tvs with endless streaming possibilities The walk to the beach was a breeze, and the beach cart was great! There were also beach chairs/beach tent/umbrellas/beach toys/floats/snorkel masks/beach mats as well. The pool was amazing!! Was completely expecting bath water temps when I first got in, and was pleasantly surprised at the refreshing temperature of the water from being cooled! From the pool, you can see the big eagles nest atop a tree. We had the pleasure of meeting our host on the property one morning when we returned from a bike ride. She was tending to some of the beautiful foliage on the property. We had a nice chat as she gave us the history of the property. It was clear that she enjoys taking care of the plants/trees on property. We had an amazing week in a beautiful oasis. We will look forward to returning next year.

Great location and the pool was perfect for our family.

Wonderful stay with family. Great location with a short walk to a secluded beach. House was clean and perfect. Pool was amazing. Would recommend again.

My family and I just had a wonderfully relaxing stay at Captiva Cottage. The house was beautifully decorated, clean, and inviting. I enjoyed the lovely lower level private sleeping apartment with bath while my family stayed upstairs in a master suite with direct access to the screened porch. The kitchen was modern and included everything you need to prepare meals. The pool was a great place to relax with the bonus of a bald eagle sitting in a nest nearby. There was plenty of pool equipment and chairs as well as shade. We were near beaches and restaurants. Margarethe is a kind and responsive host. I highly recommend a stay at Captiva Cottage.

This was our second time staying here. The location is amazing! The house is very comfortable, well maintained and well stocked and the screen porch is roomy and such a great place to relax. The private pool is just lovely. Can't beat floating in the pool watching bald eagles fly in and out of their nest right next door. The bottom level was redone since our first visit and is really lovely now. We can't wait to come back! we miss it already.

We will forever remember our week at this home. There is just so much about it that makes it so special. Now that we are back home we miss so many things about this little cottage. We had an absolutely wonderdul time! 10 out of 10!

This house fit our family and friends just perfect!The house was well appointed..had everything we needed. The pool was a wonderful addition. The eagles nesting above it were amazing! Margarethe was an amazing host. She answered any questions we had.

Weather was great, pool a real bonus . Thanks to our host

Great place. The he only suggestion would be a small fridge in the downstairs area

House is roomy, uncluttered, updated, comfortable, very well stocked, clean, private location, steps from the gorgeous quiet beach! We loved the huge screened lanai. The downstairs room worked well as a 3rd bedroom and a detached office by day. The pool is an amazing haven if you can tear yourself away from the beach! We are cook at home people and this kitchen was the best stocked I've ever stayed in. Host was very accessible and helpful. Amazing vacation property! Would love to return!

Easy access to beach, great pool and well equipped kitchen. Hostess was excellent.

We spent a week at the cottage to celebrate a sister's 70th birthday. The cottage is perfect for a small group like ours. It was very clean, beautiful, and well-equipped. The pool is an added bonus and we spent a great deal of time lounging there and watching the baby eagles in the eagle's nest

We have been coming to Sanibel for about 20 years. This is by far one of our favorite places to stay! We are looking forward to come back!!!

The property was in great condition and excellently stocked! All the beds and seating areas were very comfortable and spacious. They provided beach chairs and a cart. Access to the beach was just across the street. The screened porch was a great place to watch the eagle nest and the iguanas. It was also nice to have a pool at the house. The property owners were very responsive to any questions we had. We can't wait to stay again!eat tiguanas.
