    We have stayed on North Captiva many times but this was our first time at this house. It is by far one of the best homes we have stayed in. The pool and downstairs bar/hang out area was amazing. We hung out down there most of the time. The home had everything we needed. Loved the screened in porches too. The location to the beach, Mangos, and Boats n Fun was perfect. We will definitely stay here again!

    Lovely home with great views of the nature preserve and the water. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and a choice of eating locations. We had early coffee on the screened in porch off the living room, watching boats move up the canal and birds skim the preserve’s tree tops. We often finished the day on the back deck around a large glass table watching the sun set. The pool deck was amazing with ample chairs and tables surrounding a heated pool with a grill, ping-pong table, and a bar with enough seating to accommodate 6 of us comfortably. We climbed the crow’s nest in the evening where we simultaneously watched sun set and moon rise. Great space for gathering family but with multiple cozy spots for quiet time.

    Fantastic house to enjoy all that North Captiva offers. The pool at the house along with the outdoor bar was thoroughly enjoyed. The house was well stocked and appreciated the multiple fridges. Plenty of games and places to slip away to read a book. Our family enjoyed walks to Mangos for ice cream or a margarita. Property management was extremely helpful when needed.

    Had the beaches to ourselves (magical sunsets with dolphins, tarpon, beautiful birds) and spent every night swimming in the colorful pool lights. The island has come a long way and it truly is a paradise.

    As you know much of the island is still under repair. This home still has a few things left before it’s 100% but it was completely what we were expecting. The house was perfect for our family and loved having the outside area for the kids after long days on the boat. Definitely will be renting this home again.

    Highly recommend Rum Cove!! The pictures perfectly depicts the house. We stayed with 6 adults and 4 kids and had a bed for everyone (two kids shared a pullout). Beulah is the property manager who reached out to us well before our trip and went above and beyond answering questions we had before and during our stay. Such a lovely, slow, casual island. We had a perfect vacation and are already planning our next back to Rum Cove 🍹☀️❤️

    We loved our time at Rum Cove! Seeing Manatee everyday off the dock was amazing. The sunsets on the beach were some of the most beautiful all of us have seen. Having the pool made for perfect escape when we were beached out. The island is quit and exactly what we were looking for. We would definitely come back again! Bring bug spray and sunscreen!! The No-See-Ums ate up a couple of us. The 6 person golf cart did have an issue staying gear. We contacted Beulah with the issue, but do not think she had any luck getting someone over to work on it. Beulah was very helpful and on top of everything we needed! Overall we had a great time!!
