Butterfly Beach on North Captiva Island

We enjoyed our stay, but there were some issues. The outdoor lights around the pool area were not working, we were told they would be fixed, but they were not. The kitchen, baths, beds were all clean and comfortable, but other areas were not swept and had sand and other debris. The pool and hot tub were awesome, and the living space was big and spacious. The location was great; close to the beach, and we really enjoyed driving the golf carts to get coffee and ice cream.

Our family loved our stay at Butterfly Beach. The house had everything you could possibly want in the kitchen and the recreation area was so nice. We utilized the large rug in the main house for games and the crows nest with comfy rocking chairs was everybody’s favorite.

Everything from the property managers, the owners quick responses, the pool guy, the beautiful home and pool area, the views, the golf carts, screened in fun area under the house to the wonderful island of Upper Captiva was perfect! I recommend this home to everyone! We home to stay here again!

What a perfect location! Property Managers and communication was great! The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed and the screened in outdoor area was great for evening family fun! The house was clean and provided everything we needed for a great stay.

Excellent property with lots of amenities! The house was beautiful and very clean upon our arrival. We had ample space for 8 adults and 2 children. It allowed for nice space for gathering, games and family dinners but also space for peace and quiet. This property had one of the best stocked kitchens for cooking of any property we have rented on VRBO. The island has very limited restaurants which are very pricey. We planned our meals and used a grocery service which was excellent and definitely worth the money. Highly recommend. The lower level of the home provided lots to do with ping pong, pool table and more! Easy beach access as well. Tollie was easy to work with and his property managers are excellent. Any problem we encountered was immediately addressed. A few recommendations: Use Island Girl ferry service as we did not have a good experience with North Captiva Island ferry service. Highly recommend Nick B's catering service for one night of your meals. Note that the property requires a second golf cart for 7 or more which we accidentally overlooked. The owner assisted in getting us another cart. We will definitely be back! We love North Captiva Island for its beauty and overall laid back feel.

We had a wonderful stay at this property. Communication with the property owner/manager before and during our stay was great. They were very responsive when we had any questions or concerns about our stay or getting to the island (our first time). On arrival the house was very clean and set up for our stay. The kitchen is very well stocked for your cooking needs, i cannot think of a single thing we felt we were missing. Rooms are very spacious with great lighting, and the greatroom offers a view of the water no matter which way you look! The outdoor areas are wonderful. The kids enjoyed playing pool and ping pong in the screened in porch, and the pool area offers a very generous amount of space. The location of the house is perfect. Barely a minute golf cart ride to the beach, as well as easy access to the nature preserve. We had access to plenty of beach equipment to enjoy our days of sun and sand. Overall ths was a perfect vacation and we sefinitely plan on coming back in the future.

The house over all is beautifully decorated. There was issues with fans. The one fan in the kitchen was broken. The room with the queen size bed- fan and light was broken. Be aware there are many, many flights of stairs that need to be climbed up to get to the kitchen. The only time this was a major problem was on arrival. There was zero help or offers from property managers to lug huge heavy coolers up many flights of stairs. We have come to north captivia many times now and help has ALWAYS been provided without question. The property managers gave ZERO flexibility on check in/check out. They exspect you to wash and dry there towels before you check out to help them flip the home faster or you will be charged another fee. We felt as though that the cleaning fee we paid for should have covered that inconvenience to us. The furniture up stairs in the kitchen area consists of one small sectional and a chair. The sectional wasn’t adequate for my family of 5 to relax on. It seemed cheap and there was nothing holding it together so it slid apart when my kids where sitting on it. The outside pool area and game room was really nicely done. My family enjoyed that a lot! The kitchen was stocked with spices and things like olive oil, garbage bags, and dishwasher detergent. The home comes with one golf cart which is in the description of the home. If you are staying with more then 5 people I’d suggest renting another golf cart. We where so sad to see all the distruction that the hurricane unfortunately placed on the island. We knew the island wouldn’t be perfect. We could look pass all the imperfections and rebuilding they where doing around the island. Our exspectations where too high I think based off the price of the home. We still had a great time going to the beach, pool days,watching incredible sunsets, and boats and fun is great for boat/kayake rentals.

We have not yet been able to stay in this beautiful home. However, Tollie has been very kind and helpful as we needed to reschedule. We cannot wait to get there! Thank you!!
