    We love the pool at this property which is why we returned to it this year. It is good sized and well maintained. Fun to put chairs on the large entry and sit in the water. The beach access is extremely convenient with a private entrance and no crowds at this section for home owners. Fishing was good. We enjoyed the Green Flash and RC Otter for dinners. We did very much miss the outdoor ping pong table from earlier times, but there are numerous pool toys and sand toys. Several lively spots for morning coffee out back or back balcony. The enclosed front pirch is a quiet spot by sliding the glass living room doors closed. The whole vibe is relaxation! Needed a new over head blub changed in one bathroom and they were there immediately. The Island store is well stocked and makes good subs-but it is a drive to larger stores so stock up on special needs.There were ten of us grandparents, adult children, and grandsons and everyone was happy.

    It took us 46 seconds to be on the beach and with 4 kids that’s priceless! Loved the layout of the house not being 3 floors high. Pool was incredible and heated perfectly!

    The back patio/pool was better than expected! Great sized pool and warm water. The house was exactly as expected from the photos.

    This ‘cottage’ is actually a very spacious home with various separate indoor and outdoor living areas. We were a family of five with three adult kids, and the house could certainly handle more with all of the extra beds and four bedrooms. It is very well appointed with everything that you will need in the kitchen, closets, games, books, etc. All appliances worked perfectly. TV and internet worked well also. Having four different full baths really made it easy for our group of five to get cleaned up after a day at the beach. The heated pool was wonderful on some of the 65-70 degree January days. The location which is facing the Gulf about mid-island on Captiva provides less traffic and more privacy, but downtown Captiva (1.2 mi) is an easy stroll or bike ride to restaurants, shops, or basic groceries. We had good shelling right on the beach across the street, and the bay access via the property’s ‘through-island’ path to the dock, was really nice. We did not get to fish at all, but I suspect that renting some equipment would be a very nice way to relax. Obviously, the islands are recovering from Hurricane Ian’s destructive impact in September 2022. We were impressed with how far things are coming along. Much of Sanibel’s beachfront and any non-stilted buildings are still under construction or in transition. Captiva’s first mile of beachfront vacation homes also took a hit, but progress is being made everywhere. The islands’ refuges have a
