    The property was great, the view was top notch,What was aggravating was the fact the listing stated the lawn care team would be there one day throughout our stay. And they were there the ENTIRE trip, the noise was unbelievable while we were trying to enjoy the pool in the mid-morning. I tried to sit out on the deck and drink my coffee and I could only hear leaf blowers When I contacted the managers of the property they sent some generic chatGPT responses. Our trip was still wonderful having family and beautiful sunsets on the beach. We understood the islands are still recovering, so the noise and the power outage (due to maintenance on FPLs part) was not going to ruin our trip. We were very happy with the children’s room on the 3rd level conveniently located next to the master suite. I was nervous because the house did not have child locks on the doors, and I have an adventurous child. The room was bright & had plenty of toys for the kids to occupy themselves with while the afternoon showers held up the sun bathing. All in all Captiva is and was just as magnificent as it’s always been. We comfortable slept 6 of us but you would have plenty of room for a few more. Thanks for the stay…-local lovebirds

    This was the perfect spot for family beach vacation. The house was in great shape, kitchen well equipment for cooking in, kids loved the pool area and great to be able to supervise from the overlooking porch and or course location so close to the beautiful beach was great to go back and forth to the house and beach when needed. Would highly recommend.

    Amazing house just steps from (essentially) your own private beach. Wonderful shells and friendly Dolphins. We so enjoyed the pool and Ping Pong. Perfect property for a family visit. Thank you!!

    The location, house, amenities and everything else associated with our stay at this home were perfect. We were in regular communication with the owners via text, and any question was answered within a few minutes. The pool, hot tub and private path to the beach (2 minute walk) were the highlights. Views of the gulf from the second story and even the kitchen were welcome surprises. We will be back again for sure.

    Beautiful big house. Well appointed. Heavy rain caused a bit of overflow in the pool but problem was taken care of immediately. Highly recommend. Signs of hurricane recovery permeate both Sanibel and Captiva but everything you might need is open for business (though limited). Our stay was heavenly!
