Pink Flamingo Beach House Private Beachfront Paradise with Pool Sleeps 12

The house itself was clean. The proximity to the beach was great. However, it felt like endless issues with the house. The first day we got there, there were ants everywhere and all of our desserts, and anything sitting on the counter was ruined. And considering how expensive it is to have groceries this was a huge inconvenience. I had to say something to them 3 times about this before they did something. To make matters worse, the oven did not work. It took 1.5 hours to make a frozen pizza.We ordered over 1000 worth of groceries because we planned on cooking every night but it took hours to get that job done. The refrigerator icemaker does not work and the refrigerator froze everything on the left side of the refrigerator.We know life happens and things can stop working, but it was the attentiveness to us that was the biggest problem. I was never once offered an apology or compensation or replacement groceries.A handyman came out to look at the oven and told us that this was the 4th time he had been out to look at it and told them it needed to be replaced, but they are still renting the property out. We ran Completely out of water one day. After two people shower, the property has no more hot water. I wouldn’t rent anything from this host. We paid a luxury price but didn’t receive luxury care.

Great host. Great house. Great location

Reviewer Comments: Let me first say that getting there and preparing for everything that goes along with traveling to North Captiva Island is a lot more than we expected. The location is spectacular, the staff was great! What we did not expect was that there would be a lot of beachers coming onto the beach right in front of the house. Also something to consider is the food delivery fiasco from the young guys service that is on a link for groceries when you get your welcome package from the North Captiva Island Club. There are other services and he didn’t know about it. It would’ve made a lot more sense if we would have Rented a car for the week and stopped at Publix and got our own food and beverages on our way it probably would’ve saved us $1000! We got about $400 worth of groceries and it cost us $1400 for them to provide the service. We went sailing one day using boats and fun on the island and they were awesome. We got to see dolphins and manatees and we stopped at cabbage Island for lunch which was awesome! In August, the water is really warm if that’s what you like. I guess I was expecting it to be clearer and more blue. The house itself was amazing! They provided absolutely everything you could need. The pots and pans could probably use replacing. Remember, this is a remote location so there isn’t that much to do for teenagers unless you spend a lot of money on excursions. If you were looking for remote and quiet and beautiful, this is the place to be!

Fabulous location right on the beach. Best property on NCI for viewing sunsets. Near the small grass runway so we enjoyed watching the small planes land and take off. Fascinating!!! Rented a boat for a day from Boats and Fun. That team was awesome to work with. Highly recommend this property and NCI!

Location was the BEST!!!! Great house for 3 generations family. Loved being right on the beach. Great porches to enjoy the outdoors. Best location on the island to watch the most spectacular sunsets.

The house's location is just as described, mere steps from the ocean. Incredible sunsets. The water is calm and beautiful, and we saw dolphins and tarpon every day. TWICE a manatee swam within 15' of me! We found sand dollars on the sand bar south of the house, but had to go 50 yards offshore to find them. It was an adventure! There are also lots of sea turtle nests staked off up and down the beach.Cons: As others have said, the golf cart fleet desperately needs an upgrade. I will leave it at that. We had ants all over our kitchen, and they got into an unopened donut box and a cereal box before we realized we needed to keep all food on the table. It's an island, so I know it's hard to manage bugs. Speaking of bugs... mosquitos, black gnats, and sand fleas! Bring bug spray. Tips: Use the grocery service. WORTH IT. We rented a boat one day and had a fabulous time. It was hard to nail down the details of the house and what it came with (needs to be listed somewhere so people can plan) but I will tell you that there is a propane grill, coffee pot with carafe AND keurig, mediocre blender, plenty of dishes, silverware, cups, pans,for our party of 10.They provide plenty of kitchen trashbags, the dishwasher does not work well, and there are a ton of beach towels. There are 2 queen rooms on the first floor, and a queen room, master suite, and bunk room on the second floor. The master suite does not have curtains, so while it's incredible to wake up to THE VIEW, be sure to pack a sleep mask if you want to sleep in. The property was gorgeous and well maintained, the staff is friendly, and we would definitely recommend this home/island to anyone! Tip for the welcoming staff - we arrived on a sunday evening in a downpour. We were handed a map, the keys to the house, and pointed to the golf cart and that was it. We had no idea where to go. We found it and had no other

We will be returning next year!

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Flamingo Beach was exactly as described, beautifully furnished, with a fabulous location! It could have been cleaned a little better, especially with a crawling baby in our group. (Ex. old peanuts and candy just under edges of sofa on floor and dirt/bugs inside sliding glass door tracks). NCIC management company was a different story...unorganized, unprofessional, & not helpful at all. We didn’t even have enough towels/washcloths for 1 per person until 3 days after arrival. Our golf cart was not even charged enough to get us to the property upon arrival and died several times on top of the map & verbal directions given to our home were incorrect. The young ladies in the island office seemed to care more about flirting with some young men than doing their jobs. That part was very frustrating!

Propert was exactly as advertised and perfect for our group Only complaint was I never got a response from property manager regarding logistics (complicated because a ferry was required to get to island and there were no grocery stores). We figured it out but the process could have been a little more user-friendly for people who haven’t been to North Captiva before.
